Category:Magic Absorbing

Magic Absorbing will negate a portion of all magical projectile attacks. The maximum amount of damage negated depends on the item and is based on the base magic defense (for Tomes and the Fetish of the Dark Idols) or the base shield (for all shields) of the character wielding the item. Maximum damage reduction is achieved at 319 base Magic Defense (for Tomes and the Fetish of the Dark Idols) and 433 base Shield (for all shields). Specialized shield can provide 100% of the maximum absorption of the item while trained shield maxes at 80% of the items maximum benefit.

The formula to determine magic obsorption for shields:

• RED = 100% * ((CAP * ST * SKILL * 0.0030) - (CAP * ST *.3))

• Where:
  • RED = Reduction%
  • CAP = Maximum reduction/100%
  • ST = 1.0 for spec, 0.8 for trained
  • SKILL = 100 to 433 (above 433 base shield you always achieve the maximum %)

The formula to determine magic absorption for Tomes and the Fetish of the Dark Idols:

• For a 25% maximum item: (magic absorbing %) = 25 - (0.1 * (319 - base magic defense))
• For a 10% maximum item: (magic absorbing %) = 10 - (0.4 * (319 - base magic defense))
