Determines how much your MP improves each time you advance a level. (Calculated using your base Wis)
Based on the results that we have seen, the mean MP change per level is influenced by your WIS. The MP you get on a level up *or* level down is calculated by the same formula, which depends on your WIS.
The table below reflects data that Lineage Compendium collected on average MP gain values for all classes and all WIS as well as research done by Lineage3D on MP gains.

Two important notes: Elves and DarkElves never get 5 or 8 MP level ups. Mages never get odd numbered level ups.
Determines the speed that your MP regenerates.
Your MP regeneration increases based on your base WIS.
Till WIS 14 you get 1 MP per tick.
At Wis 15 and 16 you get 2 MP per tick.
At Wis 17 and 18 you get 3 MP per tick.
This initiated mana regain stacks with any other ingame effect, be it item, blue or zoneeffect.
For each WIS-point beyond 18 you will get an improvement of +1MP pr regen tick provided you are on a blue (Mana potion).

How to Determine
Your Potential Magical Resistance
by VirgilAnte (Dep)
1. Class Bonus
Your choice of character class makes a difference to your Base MR:
- Knights get 0%.
- Royals and Dark Elves
get 10%
- Magi get 15%
- Elves get 25%
Note: Knights
make up for this with hard-AC and the best natural
Evasion Rating
(ER).
2. Wisdom Bonus
Your WIS stat adds to your GMR. In
the last three columns, the WIS-bonus is added to Class bonuses, to
make figuring out your base MR easier.

Note that knights start out with a WIS
score of 9, and can raise it to a maximum of 13 when starting out, but
this imparts no bonus at all. If they had enough wisdom to make a
difference, then the standard "WIS-bonus" score would apply to them.
There also appears to be an odd reset to increases in MR at a wisdom
score of 24.
3. Level Bonus
You get one extra GMR point for every two levels. Good
news, Knights:
this bonus does apply to you! To calculate from your
current
character, take your
character level, divide by two, and always round down. So, if
your character is level 47, then 47 / 2 = 23.5. Round down and your
Level Bonus is 23.
(Add your Class, Wisdom and Level
bonuses together, and you have your Base MR%.)
4. Add items
BCOMR, HOMR, CMOMR, Cotton Robe, Ring of Immunity to Magic (ROIM), Ring
of Magic Resistance (ROMR), etc. To see LineageDB's definitive list, go
here.
5. Add spells
A few spells can impart an improvement to your GMR:
- Glowing
Aura (Royal party magic) -- It boost a party's MR by 20% for 10
minutes at a time. This is a very good reason to get your prince or
princess to level 40!
- Resist
Magic (Elven spirit magic) -- Elves can gain 10% to their MR for an
hour at a time.
- Clear
Mind (Elven spirit magic) -- only works on the caster, and it acts
by temporarily adding 3 points to your WIS score. This boosts both mana
regeneration and your MR for 10 minutes. Because of this, the "WIS-Elf"
is an intriguing possibility.
General Magical Resistance (GMR) vs. Elemental Resistance (EMR)
Several (not all) spells and monsters are also linked to one of the
four given elements: Fire, Earth, Water and Air. The most important thing to remember is
that EMR and GMR (usually just called "MR") represent the two
halves to your total Magical Resistance. According to theory, even if
you have 100% general magical resistance, you are only blocking 50% of
the damage. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to both.
Some important points on Magical Resistance
- GMR still protects you against all spells. Even if some
PKs are dumb enough to only use Cone of Cold or Sunburst, you
can't rely upon all of them to do so. Therefore, you want to either
keep your GMR high, or be able to raise it quickly. (Have the spells
hotkeyed)
- The spell, Reveal Weakness,
allows you to determine which elemental line an enemy is most
vulnerable to.
I'm not yet certain whether this is very useful in PvP, but if it
worked on players then it could be hugely useful in sieges.
- The spell, Resist
Elemental, gives Elves a 10% bonus against all elements.
- You only have two ring slots at any given time, and so it is you
want to think carefully about what you're most trying to protect
yourself against.
- It's useful to know what elements certain spells
belong to. For instance, Paralyze is an Earth spell. If PKs are later
able to
make better use of it, and of Erupt, then items with Earth MR will
significantly gain in value.
- It's currently debatable whether GMR can technically go above
100%. It used to, in the game, but this was changed by NCsoft. However,
some believe that it is still a false cap.
The rumor is that it may limit magical damage only up to that point,
but that a cumulative GMR of greater than 100% may
completely block the effects of some spells. Some people assert that
greater than 140% GMR will prevent others from using Cancel on you. I
plan to follow-up on these issues
soon.
Special thanks go to Ved (Dep),
Zarovich (LOA) and Zeyah (Dep) for
their help!
