Sitting Regeneration
NexusRO includes a passive HP/SP regeneration system that activates when you sit down.
How It Works
- Sit down (
Insertkey, or type/sit) - After a 3-second grace period, regeneration begins
- Each tick you recover:
MaxHP / 80HPMaxSP / 80SP
- Heal numbers appear above your character on each tick
- Regen stops instantly when you stand up
At the base rate a sitting tick lands once per second. On top of that your natural regeneration keeps running (and it is already faster while seated), so a full bar from empty takes about 60 seconds of sitting in practice, not the full 80 ticks this system would need on its own.
Recovery Rate Makes Ticks Faster, Not Bigger
Sitting regen responds to the same HP/SP Recovery Rate bonuses that already affect your natural regeneration, as long as they come from equipment. What they buy is tick speed. The amount per tick never changes.
Amount per tick = MaxHP / 80 (and MaxSP / 80)
Seconds per tick = 1 / (1 + your recovery rate bonus)
So +100% recovery rate does not heal you twice as much per tick. It makes the tick arrive twice as often: every 0.5 s instead of every 1 s.
| Recovery rate bonus | Time between ticks | Full bar from empty (with natural regen) |
|---|---|---|
| +100% | 0.5 s | ~30 s |
| +50% | 0.67 s | ~40 s |
| +10% | 0.91 s | ~55 s |
| none | 1 s | ~60 s |
| -25% | 1.33 s | ~80 s |
| -50% | 2 s | ~120 s |
| -100% | never | no sitting regen at all |
-100% switches sitting regen off
A bonus that takes your recovery rate down to zero, such as Bloody Roar or Sky Deleter Card, stops that bar from regenerating while you sit. Anything short of -100% only slows the ticks down.
HP and SP Have Separate Timers
The two bars run on their own clocks, because the two bonuses do not have to move together.
Ghostring Card gives -25% HP Recovery Rate and nothing for SP. Sitting with it on, your HP ticks every 1.33 s while your SP keeps ticking every 1 s.
Examples
| Gear / skill | Effect on sitting |
|---|---|
| Red Stocking Boots (+10% HP, +10% SP) | both bars tick every 0.91 s |
| Arc Angeling Card (+100% HP, +100% SP at Luk 77+) | both bars tick every 0.5 s, and its +300 MaxHP makes each tick slightly bigger too |
| Ghostring Card (-25% HP) | HP every 1.33 s, SP unchanged at 1 s |
| Bloody Roar (-100% HP, -100% SP) | no sitting regen |
Stacks with natural regen
Sitting regen is added on top of the server's natural HP/SP regeneration, which also speeds up while you are seated. Recovery rate gear helps both at once.
Buffs like Magnificat or Song of Mana do not speed up sitting regen
Skills such as Magnificat, Tension Relax, Song of Mana, or Circle of Nature make your normal, always-on HP/SP regeneration faster. They do not change how often this sitting system ticks. Only equipment with an HP/SP Recovery Rate bonus does that.
When Sitting Regen Does Not Run
- during the 3-second grace period right after you sit
- while you are over 70% weight
- while you are channelling Gospel
- for 5 minutes after casting Asura Strike
