Job Ability[]

  • Tames a monster to fight by your side.
  • Obtained: Beastmaster Level 1
  • Recast Time: 0:15
  • Duration: Varies - See Charm Duration table below for exact durations

Notes/Description[]

  • The success rate of this ability is greatly affected by CHR, and can be estimated with Gauge.
  • CHR also increases the resistance against Charm (from a monster that uses charm).
  • Some gear will give Charm +, which does not affect the charm success rate, but increases the duration of the Charm (from the initial value based on the level difference between the beastmaster and the pet).
    • It has been reported that +1 charm seems to increase the duration of charm by 5%. +20 charm doubles the duration of charm.
  • The Light Staff and the HQ version, Apollo's Staff increase success rate by roughly 10% and 15%, respectively.
  • If charm fails, the mob will attack you.
  • Some enemies cannot be charmed at all.
    • If this ability is used against an enemy that cannot be charmed, target will be bound for a short time. Be careful, as the mob will be considered engaged and will attack after it becomes unbound.
    • A non-charmable mob cannot be charmed (bound) if there is an active pet.
    • The ability cannot be used on an enemy that is in Call for Help status.
  • A mob with the Beastmaster job, while able to charm players, cannot Charm a player's pet.
  • When Charm expires, the former pet will attack you unless you are at least 30' away, and under Deodorize if the mob tracks by scent.
