'''Base mana''' refers to how much [[mana]] a character has before it is modified by [[talents]], [[Attributes#Intellect|intellect]], [[enchants]], and other [[item]] effects. As of [[patch 3.0.2]], all spell costs are a percentage of base mana. Prior to that, most spells cost a fixed amount of mana, rather than a percentage of base mana, with a few exceptions.

'''The Sundering''' is a massive whirlpool in the middle of [[Stranglethorn Vale]], dividing it into [[Northern Stranglethorn]] and the [[Cape of Stranglethorn]].
 
   
  +
The value is in most cases dependent on class only, not on race. A character being both a mana-using class and a [[gnome (playable)|gnome]] does however have a slight advantage compared to another race being the same class due to [[Expansive Mind]].

Falling in or flying too low will result in death.

These are the correct values as of [[patch 2.4.3]] for level 70, [[patch 3.0.8]] for level 80, and [[patch 4.0.3]] for level 85.

== Calculation ==

In [[Cataclysm]] Beta there existed a Horde boat perched on the rocks on the western edge of the Sundering, but it is missing on live servers. The minimap texture still shows it, however.
 
  +
As stated above, the base mana pool is only dependent on character class. Each race will have the exact same base mana. The calculation is quite simple.

Base Mana = MaxMana - ManaFromIntellect
−
{{Northern Stranglethorn}}
 
  +
= MaxMana - ( min(20, Int) + 15*(Int - min(20, Int) ) )
  +
= MaxMana - (20 + (15*(Int – 20))) //for Intellect 20 or over
  +
= MaxMana - (Int) //for Intellect under 20
  +
  +
  +
Mana From Intellect can be seen by hovering your mouse over the Intellect stat on your character screen. The part that says "Increase Mana by XXXX" is how much Intellect is boosting your max mana.
  +
  +
Note: Some talents and items boost max mana. e.g.:
  +
  +
* [[Fel Vitality]] (Increases mana by 1%/2%/3%)
  +
* [[Beaming Earthsiege Diamond]] (+2% mana)
  +
  +
Remove the effect of this talent before doing the computation. For example, if a character has 11000 mana and has a +10% mana effect, then divide 11000 by 1.1 first, to get 10000, then subtract the amount of mana it says is granted by Intellect.
  +
  +
Example : Kalium, Level 70 Human Warlock. Total Mana: 8695. Intellect Increases Mana by 5824.
  +
  +
Base Mana = 8695 - ( Talents = 0 ) = 8695
  +
= 8695 - 5824
  +
= 2871 Base Mana Pool
  +
  +
As a sanity check, it can be noted that most spells (as of Patch 3.0.2) cost a percentage of base mana. This can make it very easy to verify that the numbers are correct.
  +
  +
For example, Rank 7 of [[Mind Flay]] for a level 70 priest without [[Focused Mind]] nor [[Shadow Focus]] costs 9% of base mana. In game, this shows up as 235 mana. 9% of 2620 is 235.8 (the numbers all get rounded down).
  +
  +
== Table of all values ==
  +
You can use the following script to print your current Base Mana value, assuming you have no mana increasing effects (such as warlock's [[Fel Vitality]] or a [[Beaming Earthsiege Diamond]]). The formula subtracts the amount of mana you gain though intelligence from your maximum mana.
  +
  +
/script local mm = UnitManaMax("player"); local int = UnitStat("player", 4); local mfi = math.min(20,int)+15*(int-math.min(20,int)); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("BaseMana: "..mm-mfi.." = "..mm.."-"..mfi);

Revision as of 23:28, 18 December 2010

Base mana refers to how much mana a character has before it is modified by talents, intellect, enchants, and other item effects. As of patch 3.0.2, all spell costs are a percentage of base mana. Prior to that, most spells cost a fixed amount of mana, rather than a percentage of base mana, with a few exceptions.

The value is in most cases dependent on class only, not on race. A character being both a mana-using class and a gnome does however have a slight advantage compared to another race being the same class due to Inv enchant essenceeternallarge [Expansive Mind].

Significant Base Mana Values

These are the correct values as of patch 2.4.3 for level 70, patch 3.0.8 for level 80, and patch 4.0.3 for level 85.

Class Level 1 Level 70 Level 80 Level 85
Druid 50 2370 3496 18635
Hunter 65 3383 5046
Mage 100 2241 3268
Paladin 60 2953 4394
Priest 110 2620 3863 20590
Shaman 55 2958 4396 23430
Warlock 90 2871 3856

Calculation

As stated above, the base mana pool is only dependent on character class. Each race will have the exact same base mana. The calculation is quite simple.

Base Mana = MaxMana - ManaFromIntellect
          = MaxMana - ( min(20, Int) + 15*(Int - min(20, Int) ) )
          = MaxMana - (20 + (15*(Int – 20)))       //for Intellect 20 or over
          = MaxMana - (Int)                        //for Intellect under 20


Mana From Intellect can be seen by hovering your mouse over the Intellect stat on your character screen. The part that says "Increase Mana by XXXX" is how much Intellect is boosting your max mana.

Note: Some talents and items boost max mana. e.g.:

Remove the effect of this talent before doing the computation. For example, if a character has 11000 mana and has a +10% mana effect, then divide 11000 by 1.1 first, to get 10000, then subtract the amount of mana it says is granted by Intellect.

Example : Kalium, Level 70 Human Warlock. Total Mana: 8695. Intellect Increases Mana by 5824.

Base Mana = 8695 - ( Talents = 0 ) = 8695
          = 8695 - 5824 
          = 2871 Base Mana Pool

As a sanity check, it can be noted that most spells (as of Patch 3.0.2) cost a percentage of base mana. This can make it very easy to verify that the numbers are correct.

For example, Rank 7 of Spell shadow siphonmana [Mind Flay] for a level 70 priest without Focused Mind nor Rogue shadowfocus [Shadow Focus] costs 9% of base mana. In game, this shows up as 235 mana. 9% of 2620 is 235.8 (the numbers all get rounded down).

Table of all values

You can use the following script to print your current Base Mana value, assuming you have no mana increasing effects (such as warlock's Spell holy magicalsentry [Fel Vitality] or a Inv jewelcrafting shadowspirit 02 [Beaming Earthsiege Diamond]). The formula subtracts the amount of mana you gain though intelligence from your maximum mana.

/script local mm = UnitManaMax("player"); local int = UnitStat("player", 4); local mfi = math.min(20,int)+15*(int-math.min(20,int)); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("BaseMana: "..mm-mfi.." = "..mm.."-"..mfi);

The following tables are lists known Base Mana values for each class, by level.[1][2]

NOTE: As of Cataclysm, Hunters no longer use mana, but the values have been retained for historical purposes
