Meditation and Focus
After a relatively brief period of training your meditation and focus skills will probably be at 100 with no effort spent on your part. There is no need to actively train them, as they are passively trained when you are recovering mana or stamina.
The meditation skill passively affects your mana regeneration rate. The focus skill passively affects your stamina regeneration rate, as well as mana regeneration to a lesser extent.
Meditation is also an active skill. Activate the skill from the skills list, and you will begin meditation. While meditating, your mana regenerates at a significantly faster rate than normal. Performing any action (such as walking) or being attacked will break your concentration and you will stop meditating.
In order to meditate, you cannot be wearing metal, scale, studded, or bone armor; only cloth and non-studded leather are allowed. Leather and cloth are known as "medable" armor, and is almost exclusively used on ABCUO, though there are some situations in which you would choose to use non-medable armor. Even if you are wearing 5 pieces of medable armor, one piece of non-medable armor will spoil the whole thing and make your setup non-medable.
Non-medable armor affects both passive and active meditation. Wearing non-medable armor will reduce your mana regeneration rate by quite a bit.
Note that metal, scale, studded, and bone armor can be medable if they have the property "mage armor". Also, when performing active meditation, you will automatically unequip your weapon and shield unless they have the spell channeling property.
