HP Washing guide.

Abstract
What is HP Washing? HP Washing is the process by which, a character loses MP and gains HP. This works because HP and MP have a common Ability Point (AP) pool. You need to spend a lot of real life money on AP Resets from the Cash Shop in order to HP Wash. MP Washing is the opposite of HP Washing. Why HP wash? To gain more HP so you can survive boss monster (Zakum, Horntail, Grandpa, Anego, etc) attacks that deals more than 3000 damage!



Pearl Of Knowledge

It is not recommended to use this technique since it burn your parent’s pocket-money or your salary funds for online games (virtual characters) unless you are rich person who is feeling generous to pay huge sum of money to Nexon/Asiasoft/Wizet. I wonder why MapleStory did not ban/remove this bug or glitch, perhaps a good way to earn more more money from hardcore MapleStory players? *ponders*

(Quote from kwanhua) Hp Wash concept was first developed by Tiger from Maplegobal (Slaute all guys) and further tested out and improved by many guys including Tanyia from maplesea (bootes)(Sorry i can’t named one by one there is too much of you guys down there) and me. Hp washing refers to adding it Ap into hp. And then buy ap reset from cash shop. -mp and add the ap into the stats which you want. For eg if you are warrior you will – mp and add it to STR.


How to HP Wash?
If you have the minumum MP to HP Wash, go for it. If not, keep stockpiling your “extra MP” until you have enough to wash once again. So, once you level up, you are given 5 AP. Below are the step by step guide:


Step 1: Calculate your minimum MP
Let’s assume that you are a Level 200 Thief with 4000 MP
Use 1 of the formula below to calculate minimum MP that you can channel to HP:
Min MP Formula for Spearman class = 4 X level + 156
Min MP Formula for Fighter class = 4 x level +56
Min MP Formula for Bow/Crossbow job = level x 14 + 148
Min MP Formula for before 2nd job Thieves = level x 14 – 4
Min MP Formula for after 2nd job Thieves = level x 14 + 148
The thief minimum MP that he can’t remove is (200 x 14 + 148) = 2948
So, this thief could place at least (4000 MP – 2948 MP = 1052 MP) into his/her HP!


Step 2: Using AP Reset Cards (NX Cash)
1. Put 1 AP into HP (1 at a time, not all 5 into HP)
2. Use AP Reset to reduce 1 point from MP.
3. Add that 1 point into your primary attribute. (example: If you are a Thief, add to LUK)
4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until all your AP have been used.

How to improve out MP gained Per Level

How to get the most out of HP Washing? It has been proven that leveling up with INT equips on, increases your MP gained at around 10 extra INT = 1 additional MP on level-up. This is the formula for MP Gain Per Level = 15 + (total int * 0.1) +/- 1. It’s best to start wearing INT items early in the mid 30′s to gain the most out of it.

So, if each time you wear +50 INT equipment at 99% before next level, you would gain additional 5 MP, and leveling 3 times would get you 15 MP. It would be sufficient for 1 AP Reset since it reduces -12 MP from your Max MP. If you are wearing the 217 INT equipment, you will gain 21 MP per level, and in 3 levels you gain 63 MP (able to use 5 AP Resets! = 5x20HP = 100 HP!!!) In short, every 10 INT gains 1 MP.

Very nice guide Sybe, good you shared it with atomica. Really helpfull to all members indeed!

I wash once a month wether i need it or not.

Although I never washed and probably never will wash hp, that guide explained it excellent and I especially like the part where it's explained how to increase your mp.
