Mage Vs Summoner Vs Scholar max MP

[TheGodchild]

Ok, this is more directed towards the idea that black mages get some weird unlisted +max mp bonus or something because I have all 3 classes at 60 and the discrepancy between max mp vs piety scores makes no damn sense:

Mage: 261 Piety, 11.3K mp
Summoner: 228 Piety, 9800 mp
Scholar: 668 Piety, 12.9K mp

Less then a 40 point piety diff between mage and summoner, 1500 mp diff. 400 point diff between mage and scholar...1600 mp diff. The numbers just don't add up unless piety return drops off like a cliff, or mages get a passive buff to mp :/

Just curious to see if anyone has any actual reason behind this...other then a passive buff for black mages. Seems to lean HEAVILY towards mages having said passive buff if the piety numbers vs max mp are any hint.

Get one piece of gear that gives 1 piety that can be equipped on all of those classes and replace an equipment that doesn't lose you any piety and see on every class how much mp it increases? Pretty simple way to see if there's different piety/mp ratio for each of those classes and if not. Then see how much if any mp the soulstone gives for the classes.

Alternatively use 1200 GC seals for the bonus stat reset items and put each point 1 by 1 into piety looking at how much 1 point increases mp that way.

In the case of piety and vitality, different classes get different amounts of MP/HP per point.

This was tested a looooong time ago when someone suggested melding PIE on BRD so you could get enough MP to cancel out the drain and sing permanently. The numbers looked good 'til someone pointed out they were using the PIE scaling from WHM and the BRD's scaling is much lower.
