What does 'SP' stand for in Adventure Quest?

Answer 1

Skill PointsIn an update on September 10, 2007, the green SP bar was added. This SP (Skill Points) bar is much like MP (Mana Points) and is primarily used for certain class abilities, but is also used by some armors and in the activation of certain items. The SP is used for some classes including mage, fighter, rogue, and scholar (the base classes).

When the SP bar appeared, potions started to cost SP. Now you can use two potions at once using less turns to heal.

The amount of SP for a player starts at 50. The player then gains 5 points of SP every time he/she levels up. During a battle, the player starts with how many points he/she had at the end of the last battle. However, if a player just logged in, you start with zero. The player gains SP every time it is their turn during battle until the bar is full.

Another feature of having SP is the ability to flee from battle. There was escape before SP was enabled but no price was paid for escaping. The player would have to have enough SP to flee from a battle. The higher the monster's level, the more SP would be needed to flee.

Further more, if a player loses to a monster, their SP is drained back down to zero regardless of the player's level.
