Do mobs have infinite MP?

[Ophannus]

I was in SSG fishing and I was curious as to how much MP a Robber Crab had so i Slept it and spammed Aspir on it every minute for about 2 hours(I made sure to cure4 myself so that I'd see how much MP i drain back, almost always 40-90). After 2 hours of aspiring I spent all my MP on cure4 then CHainspell Aspir'd all my MP back up to 930. I didn't record how much MP I aspir'd over 2 hours but it must have been in the neighborhood of several thousands.

No but some of them have a ton.

iirc Crabs in Qufim Island have close to 4k mana I think?

Kirin himself has only so much MP as proven by some rather sad linkshells that kited him so long that he ran out of MP for spells.

When Kirin was first released oh those moons ago, that was the strat to kill him. (I fought him after a change with RNG Zerg)

[Myriads]

They have a lot. Many years back a friend and I held a caster type Quad in a starter area and gave up trying to drain it after about half an hour.

There was also a BCNM that people used to somehow drain the mobs of magic for the win, and it was a lot of MP. I can't remember which it was though

I was bored once and decided to throw the lower floor mobs at a Thunder Elemental that I saw.

Because the pets die quite fast/do little damage, the elemental ran out of MP and just meleed, to which I noticed for a period of time it wasn't casting spells.

[mangafan]

Stardard mobs have limited MP, maybe only some NM's have unlimited (or refresh)

When I did "A Manifest Problem" battlefield, the last battle against Laa Yaku the Austere became a war of attrition, as I ended up outlasting his MP supply.

Crabs are PLD /w Defense Boost trait and such. It wouldn't suprise me if it had the Auto-refresh trait the job was granted a few years ago, which means it's gaining about 20 MP every minute.

[Snprphnx]

like others have said, their MP pools are limited, but may have a natural regen. I know for soloing Genbu, he will get to the point that his MP will only allow him to cast drown, so he becomes, for the most part harmless for a kite kill.

Side question: would that mean crabs below lvl 35 wouldn't have it?

[Kirschy]

Yea. They get defense boosts at the same levels we do also. (If I recall they're known to get a Defense Boost V also.)

Yeah, killed him quite a few times like this way back when... And before people come up with an idea of "Oh, drain him of mana and he can't astral flow"... He can.

[Thorny]

If you let the ugga pendant NM cast enough, it'll eventually 'run out of mp' and do nothing besides stand there like a sock puppet until you kill it(it doesn't melee). I say 'run out of mp' because aspir still drains some once it turns puppet, so maybe aspir doesn't care if the mob is out?

[Kerberoz]

Mobs' wyverns only have like 1k MP or so, run out so easily in dynamis.

[Tortalius]

Yea, the wyverns have very little mp. 1k or so seems about right. maybe less.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Thorny, the Uggy pendent NM seems to have a small refresh. He'll cast again once hate shifts and he has enough MP. I've duo'd that NM many many many times.

[Ophannus]

Yeah normally Wyverns are DRG/XXX(unless wyrm mail) since they get Dragon Killer,Att Bonus and Acc bonus I/II, but I think the Dynamis wyverns might be DRG/DRK or DRK/XXX because they seem to have MP...

[greenhills]

I'd place wyverns mp at way lower than 1k, maybe 500ish? with 4 blms tops in my group we'd still be racing to get that aspir off since they didn't have enough for all of us to aspir
