- Full mana blocks the active practice action.
- Armour affects Meditation and overall mana recovery.
- Meditation does not determine Bard Codex power.
Training
Set Meditation to Up ↑ and leave room under your 720 total skill cap.
| Skill Range | Recommended Activity |
|---|---|
| 0–50 | Buy an optional lesson from a Mage for 300 gold; it raises this skill directly to 50.0. |
| 50–80 | Spend mana and use Meditation in the Academy. |
| 80–100 | Continue active Meditation or qualifying natural mana recovery outside the Academy. |
Right-click the teacher NPC, select the skill’s training entry, then give 300 gold. You need a skill cap of at least 50 and room for the entire lesson under your total cap.
Mechanics & Scaling
The active skill requires you to leave War Mode. Mana recovery also depends on Intelligence, Meditation, Focus, equipment and whether you are actively meditating. Leather keeps the full Meditation contribution, Studded keeps half, and Ringmail, Chainmail, Bone and Plate provide none. After other calculations, wearing any Leather or Studded armor halves total passive and active mana recovery once. Arcane supporting-skill power uses Meditation up to 100. Meditation is optional for Bard mana recovery and does not determine Bard power.
Additional rules & notes
- Leather keeps its Meditation contribution; Studded reduces it. Heavier armour families can remove that contribution.
Location & Instructors
- Trainer NPC: Mage NPC to 50.0.
- Academy: Leave War Mode, spend mana and use Meditation in the supported Academy area to 80.0.
