Maximizing Your HP

[ Return to Dressing For Success ]

Below is a comprehensive list of the best equipment to wear that directly affects your maximum HP.

Increasing your Muscle also has an effect on your maximum HP, at a base ratio of one HP per Muscle point. This ratio is improved to 1.5 HP per Muscle point if you are a Seal Clubber or a Turtle Tamer. Seal Clubbing Frenzy can also increase your maximum HP indirectly by raising your Muscle by two for a cost of one MP.

For these reasons, you may also be interested in the list of Muscle Modifiers. They are not listed alongside these items due to the variable nature of the Muscle-to-HP ratio.

KoL Deity: Presumed to have access to every resource in the game, including ultra-rares and custom items. This classification represents the theoretical maximum.

Villa: Next to the Deity in ranking. This classification represents those long-time players which have collected many items, made a number of ascensions, and have a large pool of Meat to pull from. Every player in the game is capable of attaining Villa status.

Ascender: A player that is reasonably active and works to obtain the best items that they can. This player has probably ascended at least several times, and has probably purchased at least a few expensive items from the mall.

Normal: The basic KoL player, who either plays purely for fun, or who is fairly new to the game. Still, this player has made a decent effort to master the game and enhance their capabilities.

Apathetic Lizardman: Players who take a very casual approach to the game. Sacrilegious, isn't it?!

¹The passive percent boosters are not additive, but multiplicative. See HP for details.

Notes

• In addition to the raw +HP modifiers, the items listed under "KoL Deity" (with the catskin cat option) also provide a combined +57 to Muscle when equipped, which noticeably boosts the total HP gain.
• This table describes only HP increasers; it would be more accurate to take HP due to Muscle into account. Since almost all effects from items or skills are stackable, maximizers should also buff their Muscle as much as possible. Choices usually only have to be made between what equipment to wear. From the HP page, Muscle classes want to wear an outfit that has the maximum value of

1.5 × EquipmentMuscleBuff + EquipmentHPBuff

whereas other classes should wear the outfit that has the maximum value of

EquipmentMuscleBuff + EquipmentHPBuff
