I've seen something about adding INT, but INT =/= HP. By the way, I don't plan to do this. Just curious. So yeah, what are the step-by-step instructions?

HP washing basically goes like this. 1. Put AP into HP 2. Use AP reset to take a point out of MP and put it into regular stats You can do this because HP and MP use the same AP pool (a point into HP counts as a point into MP and vice versa) There is a minimum MP you are supposed to have, so you can't HP wash indefinitely. That's where the INT comes into play. By adding INT or wearing INT equips at level up, you gain more mp every level (10 INT = 1 MP/level), thus increasing the amount of times you can HP wash

I'm not 100% sure but im pretty sure it involves using stat resets and taking points from MP and putting em into HP and to make up for the loss of MP people buy INT equips..

1. HP washing is a special stat build that allows you to have more HP than you would normally have without having to sacrifice any primary or secondary stats. 2. There are many variants, but the most common is a 2-phase one, where (a) you level up with +INT equips building stats normally, then at a certain point (b) you start putting your AP into HP and for each AP you put into HP you have to reset MP into primary stat. Because there is a minimum MP (each class has a different formula) you cannot reset all your MP (in fact you can't reset most of it). So what you do to get the extra MP is for each extra 10 INT you have at level up you get an extra MP. There are other variants, and the most extreme is triple washing where it comes in 4 phases: (a) you TRAIN all SP into INT and wear as much +INT as you possibly can, (b) you start putting all SP into MP, and (c) you skill HP instead now and you reset all the MP into primary stat, and finally (d) you reset all the INT back to primary stat. The rationale behind this is: with sufficiently high INT skilling MP once actually allows you to reset MP more than once (around 3 hence the "triple" washing). Usually you skill 3x more HP than MP (3:1 ratio, any leftover MP is turned into stats, so you'd achieve higher stats than normal as well). Please note this take a LOT of money. There's other variants like double-washing and hyper-stats, but triple-washing is probably the most extreme.
