The CONVERT command is used in DragonRealms 3.0 to move Mechanical Lore experience over to the crafting skills. Mechanical Lore is being replaced with the new crafting skills as they are released. CONVERT had no function in DR 2.0.
Syntax
- CONVERT ### MECH INTO {SKILL}
Converts ### ranks of Mech Lore into the specified crafting skill. You can also substitute ALL for the number of ranks to move all of your mech lore over.
- CONVERT SPLIT
This will show you how many ranks to convert in order to achieve an even split among 2, 3, 4, or 5 skills.
Currently available crafting skills are:
When the Enchanting skill is released, it will be a valid target for conversion.
Usage
After entering the command, you will be asked to confirm. This message will also inform you as to how many ranks you will be converting. This will let you experiment with how many ranks you want to convert.
|
It is important to remember that conversions into each skill can only be done once! Once you confirm converting ranks into one of the new crafting skills, you can never put more ranks into that skill using the CONVERT command.
Note also that if Mechanical Lore is used as one of your Lore skills for determining circle, after conversion you will have significantly fewer Mech Lore ranks, and this could require backtraining a different skill in order to circle again.
Examples
These examples were captured from a player with 63 ranks of Mechanical Lore.
