Maxxing Guide — Mihey

Guide to maximizing HP and EP in the Kingdom of Drakkar. Written by Mihey of PHNX Guild.

Maxxing is getting your permanent HP (or EP) to the maximum total available for your class.

Reasons to max:

• More HP = survive more places and safer lair hunts
• More EP (for ments/healers) = longer dungeon hunts without breaks or zaps
• Maxxed HP/EP = hunt longer and more efficiently, faster skill and experience gain

Reasons not to max:

• It's expensive
• It's a long, tiring process

• Drink yellow pots and majors to increase HP up to 150
• Yellow pots give 1 or 1-4 HP (3birds)
• Majors give 2 HP or more (depending on class)
• You can buy any HP you don't get at level 1 from the hit doc later

• Located in a small hut southeast of Volcano Town (no doors)
• Access: Jump down the VT hole, run the gauntlet to the cave end, take stairs up
• Alternative access: Blast walls with grenade, blast hammer, blast disc, MA chi wallbreak, door disc, or illusion
• Stand on his hex, keep coins in sack. Use #nam, buy (where nam is his name)
• He'll tell you how much he needs; drop coins then repeat the command
• Alternative method: Click his box, choose climbing skill (he can't take coins for climbing, so he takes coins for HP)
• Charisma matters — higher charisma = lower cost. Use charisma rings.
• Typical cost: 15-60 megs depending on class (barbs are most expensive due to high HP pool)

• Drink mino bloods on KM-5 for additional permanent HP above hit doc's max
• Must be level 15+ and in King Mino lair

• After maxxing with hit doc and minos, the only way to gain permanent HP is leveling
• Lost overmax HP (from being eaten by chipper, etc.) can't be fixed by hit doc or minos as long as you're above both maxes
• Be careful not to get eaten if you want to keep HP as high as possible

• Drink EP pots (black bottles) found in dungeons or bought at Fun House for 500k
• EP pots give 1-6 EP up to 250 max EP
• Maxxing EP at level 1 gives MORE total EP than waiting:
  • Max at level 1 = ~250 EP → rest to level 13 → gain ~100 overmax EP → ~350 total
  • Much better than maxxing at level 13
• Typical EP maxxing cost: 50-80 million coins (21-125 megs depending on luck)
• Try to find EP pots in dungeons rather than buying at FH (save money)
• Make friends who find EP pots for you
