Question about wisdom

Mana calculator:

-------------------------------------------------
CALCULATIONS: (for ease of reading I only added WI to the equation but the INT calculations should be the same.)


Below 200 WI/INT:

Mana = ( [ 850 * level ] + [ 85 * WI * level ] ) / 425

This can be simplified to: (WI+10)*level/5

Above 200 WI/INT:

Mana = ( [ 11250 * level ] + [ 33 * WI * level ] ) / 425


As far as being exactly at 200, I'm not sure if it falls in the below or above category. I've heard conflicting things.

Seems the mana calculator works fine for below 200, but after 200 its a different calculation. I've heard from others as well that they are still getting good mana when over 200 wis/int whereas normally you shouldn't. I believe in Kunark or Velious they changed this so that you weren't wasting the extra wis/int since there were so many new items pushing you well beyond the soft cap. Most likely what is happening is they are using a non-classic mana calculation.

I personally have the Velious UI going so I can't even tell how much mana I have except for how much the bar moves when casting big spells. I love the UI, just wish I knew how to add an actual mana value to it.

Hmm, all I know is that from 200-255 on classic you should only be getting 1 mana per int (or wisdom) above 200. Soft cap was raised in Kunark but I'm not certain by how much. Velious might also have seen some changes, I haven't done the research.

The default UI that comes with the game does show actual mana numbers so I can check this out when I get home. Now that I can boost my int to 207 (with Brilliance) I should be able to test it out pretty easily.

I'll get back to you.
