Meditation - Useless?

It seems as though Meditation never scales with your level, while of course, your energy degeneration does. 

At higher levels it'll be almost useless to meditate since you'll lose the majority of that energy on the next degeneration tick.

I currently use Focus Energy with MA2 and get a "max relax" of 24 energy. This hasn't changed throughout my many level gains.

I could get MA3 but that'll make it useful for only a short while before the same problem happens again. Same with Bubble Tea.

  • I see your point, and I agree that it should be changed to more of a percentage based system. As it is, though, using meditation while cooking/crafting is still very beneficial :) You certainly end up with a couple hundred more energy than you would have otherwise if you're using MA3. Max relax focusing energy there is 75.

    Plus there are badges for doing it a lot :) So it's unavoidable for the achievers out there :P

  • I agree, more energy!

  •  I routinely get +75 bonus energy.  With the extremely short cool-down period, I can replenish teleporting, cover cooking costs and otherwise use Meditation to keep my energy pumped up.

    Since your meditation max goes up, and your recovery time goes down, TS has already made meditation rewards scale with level.  

    Meditation scales with your level because you can earn proportionally more meditation energy each level you go up.  As your energy tank increases, the max meditation energy recovery increases.

  • The mood loss is even more than the energy loss.
    But with MA-III and normal mediation I can still keep up at level 41.
    And I'm still gaining energy faster than i'm losing it.

  • While most of that is true, WindBorn, the recovery time NEVER goes down. It's always 20 seconds for regular meditation and 30 seconds for focused. And 2 minutes for Radiating I believe. 

    The being able to meditate more for each increased level is true, but I almost never actually meditate so much in a day that I reach that limit, while my energy ticks continue to grow with my level. At level 49 I seem to hemorrhage away some 200 or so energy for each tank of 2000 or so that I consume. 

    Meditation is great for combating that, but when I was a lower level I could use it to totally refill the tank. So I do notice some growing pains.

  • I'm still finding meditation useful at level 37.  MA 3 makes a big differnce here.

  • MA3 with bubble tea and focused meditation is very nice. You can get 3 meditiation in on one tea that can regenerate up to around 150 energy or mood each time.
