FFXI: Healing &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Healing&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Healing refers to your ability to recover HP and MP lost in battle. When you are not targeting anything and are not in battle mode, press the Left control stick or 5 on the numeric keypad to initiate the healing process. You will gradually recover HP and MP at an increasing rate. To cancel the healing process, move or press the Left control stick, or press 2, 4, 6, 8 or * buttons on the numeric keypad. &pre=1; The healing process is interrupted if you lose HP or MP  during the process. This could be attributed to a monster  attack or a status abnormality that drains HP or MP.  Aside from using magic or items, the healing process is the only way to recover HP and MP during battle. It is important to heal regularly when you are in an area where you will fight monsters often.
