What are some items to up sp regen?

Hiyas all been playing my Lord Knight recently and the cost of sp healing items is insane, any gear i can get to increase her sp regen somewhat? shes lv 91 if that helps. I thought the one hitting was nice then I leveled my assassin who was killing stuff where my LK levels, faster than she could cast clasing spiral on it XD. I also wish str actually did anything, added 30 str since I got CS and haven't seen its damage change really at all. Then again as I've said before ya don't make a skill spamming based mmo with no npc buyable mana/sp healing items avail.

Come to think of it, if they did add npc buyable sp healing items, the botters would lose a major source of income for them to sell.

*face palm* light blue potions and icnrease sp potion, sohee card - arc angeling - succubus/incubus combo - incubus pet... pharaoh card...

Read the skill description

rideword hat if you got the $$ among everything mentioned above

I know about Clashing Spirals cast/aftercast time/delay, I just find it funny how my assassin was killing faster even though my CS 1 shots due to the cast/delay and the mob not dying till all hits were delt. Nice pic in your sig btw. Cash shop sp pots.. guess we'll never see npc buyable sp items if they are in there. ANyway thanks for the suggestions, Incubus pet might be decent though I am worried how often it'll proc with attack skill use when it has a 1% chance. Then again if it did it'd heal my LK for over 500 sp which is almost her entire bar.

Think I am a wee bit short for a RWH, That and I kinda like my rudolf hairband.. Carrot power XD.

Eggyra shoes give a bonus to your SP regen rate and they're not too expensive.

SP leech gear pretty much requires you to mob a bunch of monsters (5-10) and use an AOE skill on them. The 1% / 2% chances are pretty low so you do need to kill a whole bunch at once to improve your leech chances.

Along with the good suggestions already posted, you can also consider dual clienting a priest to autofollow and magnificat (and heal!) slave you.

Oh, the Lv. 4 Bowman mercenary has Magnificat as well.

I actually tried to dual client my AB on my other acct didn't go so well, she kept dying lol.

They will never add buyable SP Items. Light blue potions are all you are gonna get and that's a kafra shop item. You can buy strawberries in payon sometimes. If you can't afford those well get crackin' on some Zeny already!

Maybe I'll just take int to 99 on my RK! XD. I planned to anyway to help maximize DB, might as well get it early i guess.

if your using high damage aoe's you dont need a +9 rideword hat, a +4 with nyd garb is fine. arc angeling does wonders for priests or chars that are SP intensive but dont use aoe attacks (basically just priests lol).

The best way to keep SP up is actually one of the following:

1) Recover it as you use it.
An example is earth deleter armor which gives SP back when you kill an enemy. Another example is Rideword hat or Nidhoggur Shadow Garbwhich replenish your sp (by a chance) when you deal damage. These strategies work best with AoE damage.

2) Increase your natural regen by a lot.
This can be accomplished several ways, and understanding how the sp regen formula works helps a lot.
* A "tick" is 4 seconds sitting or 8 seconds walking and stabnding around. Magnificat halves the time.
* You start with 1 per tick regen
* Every 6 INT you have increases regen by 1 per tick.
* Every 100 max SP you have increases regen by 1 per tick.

Tip #1: I usually get at least 12 INT on all characters for the extra 2/tick regen. If you had no regen from any other surce this already triples your sp recovery speed. Pretty awesome for so few stat points.
Tip #2: If you have SP problems, wear gear that increases your max SP without compromising your effectiveness. For example, Nidhoggur's Shadow Garb is quite good on its own for its defensive abilities and tis card slot, but it also adds like 180 SP when refined to +12 and worn by a level 90 character. Other gear like Diabolus Ring [1] will grant you +100 SP with no downside. Superior Valkyrian Shoes or Variant Shoes will also give a lot of SP. A slotted mid with a willow card will grant SP, as will a Maestro (carat card) headgear. Wearing the right gear you can easily have 1600+ SP on any character and regen by 20+/tick or so easily.
Tip #3: Combine Nodhoggur's Shadow Garb and Rideword hat. This doubles the activation rate of the SP siphoning ability. Put a Carat card in the rideword and you get +150 SP and +2 int to boot!

* Large SP increase potion. Genetics can make these pretty easily and will increase your max SP by 100-300 or so depending on your stats, level, class. This could boost your regen/tick notably.

3) Boost recovery rate with items that boost recovery rate
I don't actually recommend this. This isn't worthwhile IMO. Except for the Arch Angeling card-- and even then, it won't work without 77 LUK which isn't right for most people, especially level 90 ones.
* Eggyra card in shoes. This boosts natural SP recovery rate. However, unless you have a lot of INT (which I doubt), variants or firelock will give similar extra sp/tick just from the max SP increase and you'll be able to burn sp longer to boot, with those items.
* Arch Angeling card. If your BASE luck is 77 or higher, it doubles your regen rate. This is unmatched by anything else, but that 77 LUK requirement is impossible for a lot of classes, and pretty much all of them at low level.
* I think there are some consumables that can increase sp reciovey by like 3%. These are a waste of time.
* Vitata500 increases regen by 20% for 500 seconds (a bit over 8 minutes) but the cost of buying these isn't really worth the 2-4 sp/tick you might get from them. You may want to try this. Its not as convenient as just getting permanent sp gear you can use always, but it may help enough to warrant doing.

Earth deleter. 200k-700k on Valk. And if you level with Bowling Bash (BB >>>>>>>>>>> CS), you'll basically have infinite sp if you always kill mobs on average, enough to give you more sp than you use to kill them.

Combining them, Earth Deleter and Rideword+Nyd is just overkill. You'll be spamming extra skills just so you don't feel like you're wasting SP procs lol.

just go with rudolf headband/earth deleter armor, that way your good on sp AND hp with bowling bash leveling

Siveria i have seen you posting tons of things lately. and i for one and glad that you do. a ton of the things you ask are things i've had questions about for a long time. thx

Eden group boots IV give 28% HP rec, 12% sp rec. that's an alternative, without the 3% sp regen you get from eggyra, but you get HP regen.

both are sucky items

vitata500 if you've ever heard of that. I have them at 500 stack in my kafra as "woe" supply but I don't really use it
