hMP gear question

[Amele]

First hMP is restored after 9 ticks of resting (27 seconds)
Subsequent MP is restored every 3 ticks (9 seconds) thereafter.
Put on the max hMP when you're going to get a hMP tick, then put on yigit for refresh until the next tick.

you mean seven ticks of resting (21 seconds) right? or is that an effect of clear mind? there's no way in hell I'm down almost 30 seconds before I get my first tick.

8hmp+refresh is best for the first 18 seconds of resting.

after that, 12hmp will slightly outperform 8hmp+refresh if you can't be arsed to swap the gear twice every 9 seconds.

well right now my resting set consists of (I think, I'm in class atm)

Plutos
Yigit Head
Grandicose Chain
Relaxing Earring
Magnetic Earring
Yigit Body
Yigit Hands
lolring
lolring
Invigo Cape
QQ Sash+1
Yigit Legs
Yigit Feet

In order to find a hMP set on the visible armor pieces that exceeds over yigit, to warrant removing the set refresh bonus, I would need to find an extra 4hMP, if I'm reading all this correctly. And plausible upgrades would consist of:
Head: Goli Chap (not happening, my highest nyzul floor is 20), so swap to Wiz Peta+1 for the extra mp.
Body: Maha Houpelande (LOL, not plausible)
Hands: Genie Gages (+1)
Legs: Yigit best
Feet: Goliard Glogs (+3)


Would this work theoretically, assuming I get my hands on clogs ??

equip (all this below)

pause 20
equip hands "Genie Gages"
equip feet "Goliard Clogs"

they added some last patch. only problem is that they require star sapphires.

[Tajin]

oh yeah, those ones, no wonder my mind blocked them ._.

I prefer resting in hierarch so if I happen to rest a full tank I have 50 mp to toss around when I get up before switching to my main set. worth the -1 hMP I think.

Ya, especially for me as a BLM + RDM, I need to own Hierarch anyway for Convert gear so Qiqirn doesn't seem so hot. "Saving" 34 MP on your first spell will probably give you more usable MP over time than +1 while resting.

Keep your normal refresh body on until you're about to get your first tick for hmp, then swap to full hmp.

There's also this, which isn't too hard to get

agreed, i macro in my vermillion until right before the first tick is about to hit, then the macro switches my head and body to +Hmp.

Works out well.

If I'm not paying attention to mysself when I'm resting, I could always just go with a max mp set, or modify my gearset accordingly.

[Sylvrdragon]

Well, for RDM, you will almost never have to worry about building a "Real" hMP set. I have full Convert merits and I only end up resting about once a day. Sleep/Nuking and recovering after weakened are about the only times I rest. Even so, I still have Pluto's Staff, Goliard Clogs, Grandiose Chain, Relaxing Earring, Antivenom, Heirach/Qiqirn+1, and Errant/AF+1 body for a total of +25-26 hMP. I use it more on BLU than I do on RDM though.

I can really only think of a couple situations in which getting more than average hMP is needed. Maybe soloing some timed fight, or main healing in some timed event. Other than those, most situations are leisurely enough that you won't be missed if you have to rest one more tick than if you had max hMP.

If you're going this route, there's no reason to complete the Yigit set in the first place. Simply use a Black Cloak up til right before your first MP tick then change to all your hMP goodies. It'll save you inventory space since you no longer need Yigit Body (assuming you want hands and feet for other purposes as BLM). I would assume/hope every BLM has a Black Cloak or some refresh piece to idle in anyway.
