    There are various forms of MP regeneration, so let's start with the most basic one:

    Natural MP regeneration
    The natural MP you recovery every 3 seconds is 6% of your max MP out of combat. So if you have 1000 MP, you get 60 MP every 3 seconds.
    However, if you are in combat, your natural MP recovery is reduced from 6% to 2%. So with the same MP pool of 1000 MP, you only get 20 MP back every 3 seconds.

    Aside from that, there are also abilities that recovers MP:

    Shroud of Saints
    Shroud of Saints is a White Mage ability that recovers 1060 MP regardless of your MP pool or other stats. When used it will give you back 1060 MP spread over 15 seconds or 212 MP every 3 seconds.

    Aetherflow
    Aetherflow is a scholar ability that recovers 20% of your maximum MP

    Energy Drain
    Energy Drain recovers 266 MP for each stack used. It's always 266 MP regardless of your stats, cleric's stance, damage dealt or weapon damage.

    As a bonus, here's some additional information regarding piety and mp:
    White Mage MP formula: max MP = 7,9033piety + 1594,6
    Scholar MP formula: max MP = 7,5677piety + 1530,5

    There's also the thing about Mage Ballad. I have no exact numbers for those, sadly

    Under normal circumstances, you should get a small amount back every couple of seconds or so regardless of class or job. Bards manasong increases the amount you get back but I don't think it shortens the duration between ticks. Black mages have their umbral ice that can replenish their mp quickly, but again, the duration between ticks is the same. I hope this helps answer your question.

    From what I have read MP regenerates at a speed of 6% every 3 seconds when out of combat, and 2% every 3 seconds while in combat. I think.

    And what do you mean by differ the regeneration? You can use potions to restore a % depending on the strength of the potion, or you could increase your Piety which would increase your max MP thus increasing how much MP you regen every 3 seconds. Other than that Scholars have Aetherflow and Energy Drain, and WHM have Shroud of Saints. I'm not sure what else to tell you about it.

    EDIT: Oh, and Bards can help regen MP faster with a Ballad.

    I see you play conjurer, max your piety (but not for the lvling pts, mind there, more important)

    Once you'll be over 4800-5000mp, wont have to worry a lot about mp anymore.

    Aetherflow and Energy Drain are also Summoner abilities too (they are skills off the base class Arcanist)

    Quite right! The only time I might run out of MP, that I've experienced, is solo healing EX primals.
    In practicum on AK speed runs (at 4972 MP) I can Holy, (sc)SS, regen, Holy 3-4 times, Cii, and have full or nearly full MP before the next big group of mobs. No problem.
