    Recovering While Sitting

    I apologize if this has been asked, but the search yielded no threads.

    I would like someone to confirm/deny whether or not HP and MP recover faster while sitting. A lot of people seem to think it does, but I personally don't see it. Standing still appears to be the only real requirement for quick recovery.

    placebo effect. The only thing who let you recover faster it's the amount of time you stand still

    Thank you! I get irritated every time I party with someone who sits, claiming they recover faster.

    I notice no difference. Perhaps people that say that are Ragnarok Online players?

    Since it does force you into recovery mode, I would highly suggest you do it. I partyed with a Thaumaturge the other day to do the kobold and the beautiful. Of course, being a Thaumaturge he ran out of mp. For quite a while he was standing idle not being able to do much cuz he was out of mp, so told him to sit and rest. My point in this being, if you are out of mp, and not triggering recovery, then why should anyone complain about running out of mp too fast? It all recovers with in seconds.

    Sitting does nothing at all for your regen rate. The only reason people think it does, is because by the time you actually type /sit, and your character does the animation to sit down, then the recovery rate starts kicking in.

    Standing still for the same amount of time will yield the same effect.
