MEN - How much mana does it give?

[FatChocobo]

Does anyone know how much max MP +1 men gives?

Considering whether it's worth getting +4 MEN -5 INT on my boxed WC since the buffs cost so much mana.

Usueally you'd use men dyes on figthers to increase m.def and debuff resist no ?

i i think fighters cant use Men.    but mages can "abuse" CON w/o any downside which is pretty lame.

From what I've experienced in the old chronicles, it's not a fixed value and it depends on the race - the more of the stat you have at base, the more beneficial it will be to add more of it - e.g. elves get more cast. speed/m. crit for +5 WIT than orcs, because they have more WIT in base (23 on elves vs 15 on orcs). And vice versa, orcs should be getting more MP/mp. regen etc. because they have higher MEN at base.

BUT, from my experience (played for several years on Classic OFF server), increasing MEN provides basically non-existent bonus while reducing WIT really makes your life miserable. All in all, If the WC is 100% only box and you really have MP problems with buffs for some reason, I'd consider it, but if you ever do any other casting with it or even play actively on it, it's absolutely not worth.
