Concerning Merit Points.

[Mavrick]

i think it would be nice if you could merrit hp as much as you like, it would need to be high tho maybe 50k merrits for 1 hp with no cap, pretty sure this would interest allot of people

Eventually everyone would be running around with 9999 HP on every job/race so that would be a pretty game breaking idea.

A simple solution would be to have Merit Items/Gear (preferably Rings) that function similarly to Exp Band. They provide a beneficial Effect to the player which cannot be dispelled by monster abilities. (like reraise).

Acquisition:
- Purchasable from NPC via Merit Points
- Cost 15-30 Merit Points
- Can Only have 1 "Merit Ring" in your possession at any given time.

Enchantment Effect:
- Type of effect varies with each individual ring.
- Enchantment Effect stays in effect even if ring is removed.
- Enchantment Effect cannot be dispelled by monsters (aka reraise). However effect will be lost upon death, level sync, or job change.
- Max Charges: 3~5
- Charge Recast: 60 seconds
- Effect Duration: 180 mins
- Stacks with other effects of similar properties (ie refresh, haste, regen)
- Enchantment Effect also affects Pets (with the exception of charmed monsters)
- Rings cannot be recharged. Once depleted, you must toss it and purchase another from NPC.
