I hope it can't kill me

Convert is a level 40 RDM ability. It is a permanent switch of hit points for magic points.

Also, currently I am still afraid to test this, but could I kill myself with this ability? I was hoping it would take me down to 1 HP, but I don't want to kill myself testing this out haha.

I have two points to express using Convert.

First is a misconception of it. This switches CURRENT Hp and Mp, not MAX Hp and Mp. Many people seem to think that this will switch your max Hp and Mp. I've noticed this often when I talk about it with friends, and use it in groups now.

Second, The game will not allow you to use Convert if you have 0 MP. I tried... ^^

I love this ability, and use it probably every 10-15 minutes in a group. I will use this when my Mp fall below 10 (and Refresh is not one) and my Hp are more than my max Mp. This way I will fill my Mp bar. A Cure III and Cure II cast on me and I'm good to go back into battle with a fresh casting of Refresh.

I have virtually no downtime using Convert and Refresh/Regen.

Woah! That's lame. Everything I've read has said "Permanent swap of HP and MP." That really sounds like you are permanently swaping the max stats. :(
lvl 40 Ability..not 41

You get this skill at lvl 40...not the 41 everyone boasts. It is good skill tp use when in a big jam in a grp and the whm only has enough mp to cast one more cure3 (just better hope he casts it on you) I set mine up with a macro to let the main healer know
/p Using Convert in 5 Seconds~~Heal Me
/wait 5
/ja "Convert" yournamehere
/wait2
/ma "Cure III" yournamehere

but at lvl 41 you get refresh....the spell rocks. We had zero downtime using it

how long does convert last?
Can it kill you?

Out of curiosity, what would happen if you brought your mana to 0, then switched their values? Would you die, or does the ability not work the way I think?

(I don't want to have to level RDM up to 41 just to find out :P Getting my BLM to 19 was hard enough)

I may be lvl30 with my RDM but I know about convert. You cant die. You cant Convert when you have 0 mp..and if they did allow you then... this is how it would be.
hp: 400 mp:0
Kenneth uses Convert.
*hp, mp switch*
Kenneth Falls.

GG you just died.
You can't use Convert when you have 0 hp..why? Well..your dead. dur.
Convert also does NOT permanantly switch them. If it did. I'd have to say that would be pretty retarded and slap myself. OK well I hoped that helped, or entertained you. buh-bye.
