Does anyone know just how much mana is lost when using the transmute skill in athletics?

Enough to make forcing it worthwhile?

Doesn't TRANSMUTE 1000 just transmute 1000 mana to health? That's how I always thought it worked.

On Achaea, yes.

Here, no.

The ab file has always said that you lose some in the transfer, but only in Lusternia is that actually implemented.

Actually, if you TRANSMUTE 1000, then you lose 1000 mana, it's the health gain that is not 1000 as it loses some.

I don't see any useful for Transmute, besides having an easy toadcurse on you. I wish our knight envoy's will get to work

As I recal, transmute 1000 makes me lose 1000 mana, and gain around 950 health?

You lose 15% in the transfer. For every 100 mana you gain 85 health.

So I'd get 850 health, not 950.

Hooray for basic math. And my post count.

I concur.

Can you transmute more then 1000 at a time? Does it take/require eq?

1000's the limit. Need eq and bal, but doesn't take either

Maybe change it from taking Mana to taking Willpower? I mean, how many knights drain more willpower then they do endurance? If there is any, i'd be greatly scared

That just gives them free health on call.

How high is Transmute again? And what's wrong with that, it'd make the skill decent and not make it so they sorta go... if i Transmutate I get toadcursed and die, if i dont, i die anyway...

If anyone who can transmute is fighting someone who can toadcurse, there is about no way in Nil they can die from moonburst. Or nightkiss.

Actually, almost everything that drains mana drains willpower too. If I go on a long long hunt, when I come back, it's my willpower that I need to regenerate, not my endurance.

Don't use transmute against the following classes

Nilhilst, Shadowdancers,Moondancers, celestines

You forgot the ninja's of the apocalypse O.o
