New to HP washing

Hey here's a quick answer to all your questions.

1. The game physically will not let you do this. The reason Hp washing works is that HP & MP are treated as 1 characteristic stat as far as AP distribution is concerned. You can only take out what you put in.

2. This is because you had no AP in either your HP or MP, as a result, you had nothing to take out. You need to first add your AP to one of them before you can remove it with an AP reset.

 

In the long run not much of a difference, but 2-3 mp per lvl isnt enough to hp wash effectively, i would suggest you increase your base int to 50-60 as well as borrow/scroll/buy some int equips. The goal is to reach a certain HP you desire by the time youre ready to boss. If youre only gaining extra 2-3 mp, you can only hp wash once every 4-6 level ups

essentially if youre starting late, you need to make up for it by having higher extra mp per level, and to do that you need higher int

 

there is a reason why people told you to use fresh ap.
you have a skill in your 2nd job that is called hp improvement, it boost the hp you recieve when you add hp,
but this skill only works with fresh ap if you just transfer from mp to hp it wont work.
so if you do the short way with just transfering mp to hp you would lose a lot of hp.

also even if your job doesnt have that skill above you should still wash with fresh ap, i tried it out with my archer.

when you transfer from mp to hp as a archer you would fix recieve 16 each wash but if you use fresh ap you have a
chance to recieve 20-24, but at the end it pure rng what you get :3
