Notes
- The duration of the Charm effect depends on the level difference between the player and the enemy being charmed.
- Charm+ gear affects duration of Charm. Charm +1 will add 5% to the duration of charm. Charm +20 will effectively double Charm's duration. Full Beast gear (AF) gives Charm +20.
- The success rate of Charm can be improved by increasing a player's CHR.
- A Light Staff or Apollo's Staff will also improve Charm rate, but exact values are unknown. It is believed to increase Charm rate by 10% for Light Staff, and 15% for Apollo's Staff, following suit of the other staves.
- Charm, like melee attacks or most magic, is never 100% accurate. No matter how weak a mob is in relation to the player, there's always the chance of a failed charm. Similarly, assuming the monster is charmable, there's always a small chance to succeed.
- Charm accuracy, while enhanced by Charisma, is primarily based on the level difference between the player and monster. When Beastmaster is subbed, Charm accuracy is based on the level of the Beastmaster job, not the main job. Test.
- Some families of mobs have a stronger resistance to Charm than others. Most notably Slimes, but also Opo-Opos, Flytraps, Raptors, Mandragoras, Cactuars, Snow Hares and Slugs.
- When failing a charm, an enemy will immediately attack the player.
- Some enemies are immune to Charm, and thus using Charm on these enemies will result in the player being attacked.
- When Charm is used on an enemy immune to its effects, it will receive the effect of Bind for a short duration, the Bind effect is not 100% guaranteed.
- When Charm is used from subjob, the base duration is not lowered.
