Meditation

Meditation is a unique skill in idleMMO that is entirely based on the concept of selflessness and the helping of others, rather than yourself.

How It Works

Getting started is easy:

• Just press Start to begin meditating.
• You’ll gain EXP at a base rate of 0.8 EXP per second.

Guidance Scrolls (Unlocked at Meditation Level 35)

At level 35, you unlock the ability to create Guidance Scrolls - powerful items designed to boost other players.

Here’s how they work:

• You’ll earn 0.1 EXP/s while writing guidance scrolls.
• You need a Blank Scroll to write one. You can buy these from the vendor.
• You can’t use a guidance scroll on yourself or your alts - this skill is all about helping others.
• The higher your Meditation level, the stronger the boost in the scroll.
• Once given, the scroll’s effect is applied instantly and lasts for 2 hours.
• Writing a scroll takes 60 minutes.
• You can’t write more scrolls than your maximum idle time allows. For example:
  • If your idle time cap is 2 hours, you can’t queue up 5 scrolls (which would take 2.5 hours total).
• If you cancel a scroll mid-way:
  • Any unused blank scrolls are refunded.
  • Any scrolls already in progress are not refunded.

Guidance Scrolls Bonus

Guidance Scrolls give the following bonus: +1% -> +10% World Boss Magic Find +1% -> +10% Dungeon Magic Find +1% -> +10% Battle Magic Find +1% -> +15% Hunt Efficiency +1% -> +15% Guild Mastery EXP +1% -> +15% Hunt EXP +1% -> +15% Combat EXP +1% -> +15% Primary Skill EXP

Enlightenment

Reach level 100 and you’ll achieve Enlightenment — a prestigious milestone with a cosmetic twist.

• Your character will float slightly on its profile page giving it an ethereal aura.

Sound Effects

While meditating, you can listen to various sound effects to help you relax.

• Rain - The sound of rain falling.
• Snowfall - The sound of snow falling.
• Fireplace - The sound of a crackling fireplace.
• Thunderstorm - The sound of a thunderstorm.

Notes

• The Meditation skill is purely focused on helping others - it’s not designed to benefit your own character directly.
• Progression is intentionally slow - not only does it take months of dedication, but it also means you're sacrificing time that could’ve been spent on other skills.
• Reaching Enlightenment is meant to be a rare and meaningful achievement that reflects patience, dedication, and selflessness.

Guidance Scroll Scaling Formula

The meditation skill is exponential in nature, meaning that the effect of the guidance scrolls increases at a faster rate as you level up.

Below is a breakdown of the formula and what each variable represents:

• current_level: The player's current Meditation level (ranges from 1 to 100).
• minimum_value: 1% — the effect at the lowest level.
• maximum_value: 15% — the effect at the highest level.
• exponent: 3.5 — this controls the steepness of the curve. A higher exponent means that improvements become more significant at higher levels.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how the effect is calculated:

1. Normalize the Level
   Convert your current Meditation level into a value between 0 and 1.

   • How: Subtract the minimum level (1) from your current level, then divide by the range (maximum level minus minimum level).
   • Formula:

     normalized_level = (current_level - 1) / (max_level - 1)
     

2. Apply the Exponential Curve
   To create a curve where improvements are more noticeable at higher levels, raise the normalized value to an exponent (for example, 3.5). This makes early level increases smaller and later level increases larger.

   • Formula:

     adjusted_value = normalized_level^exponent
     

3. Scale to the Final Effect Value
   Convert the adjusted value into the actual effect percentage by scaling it between the minimum effect (1%) and the maximum effect (15%).

   • How: Multiply the adjusted value by the difference between the maximum and minimum values, then add the minimum value.
   • Formula:

     effect_value = minimum_value + (maximum_value - minimum_value) * adjusted_value
