I was using recently the CP calculator to make sure that mobs won't grow too weak too soon, but seems it's lacking some of the newer and hidden skills.

Maybe it would be good time to update it?

Yeah, the CP calculator we have is horribly outdated.

Just calculate the stat CP and add in the skill CP manually. This page should list skill CP, take the two highest CP giving skills you have and add up the highest by half of the second highest, then add that to your stat CP (which this calculator can do if you don't want to do it yourself) to come up with your total CP.

Personally, I think it would take way too long to list all the skills you have ranked for a CP calculator, especially since only two are taken into account. Just look at the list for the highest CP giving skills.

Well, I did see the formula on wiki, and it may be even easier if you're wanting to calculate it only once in a while (if you find the tables, that is).
Calculator makes the speculation easier - saves you looking through all the tables for 2 highest skill CP and redoing the math on stats for each rank of each skill you're thinking about ranking up, or you're looking for skill that will lower the CP most efficiently when deranking/resetting.

Just grow a sack and install mods. It calculates yours/other players/monster CP live in-game. It's a feature that should be in the game. No reason to use some archaic calculator.

Phase 3
Phase 3 will be an update to the CP calculator, but this will only happen if I'm still playing mabi at that time to have enough motivation to do it.

Or ask somebody else who mods to tell you what yours is.

Regardless of reasons, not everyone is a fan of modding.
As for last part:

Just shows I should hang around the general threads a bit more...
Guess there's nothing more to add in this thread then.

http://mabination.com/threads/78417-Tool-AP-Calculator-amp-Stat-Skilling-spreadsheet will calculate your CP. The CP part is kind of tacked on as an after thought, so it's a bit awkward and hasn't been thoroughly tested, but it will do it.

I never understood why people scoffed so hard against regular client mods.
Things like CP and other minor tweaks from mods are pretty harmless and useful.

What's so hard with pressing Alt to see whether a monster was awful/weak/normal/boss to you.

Travel time. Knowing numeric value ahead of time allows for different combinations of CP gear to be used. Like i can manipulate the same mob to be boss awful and strong based on what their number is.
