Hey
So i just opened my level 45 supply box and i got a MP charm, and while i was grinding my charm ticked (obviously) and i lost more than i should have. I have 1000 mp, and after ticking i only had 89000 mp left on my charm, is'nt that wrong? shouldn't i have 89750 left? or am i wrong? please tell me how they work, any answers are welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks,
AxeManek

Ohh and at what level should a Axe build Bm get a charm if money is not an issue?

    They refill your health and/or mana when it is lowered to less than a certain percentage. For health, it's 50%. Mana, 75%. When it drops below that amount, the charm automatically transfers enough points from it to refill the bar.

    Using your example of 1000 mp (assuming your current max mp), if it were to drop to 700, 300 points would be taken off the charm and added to your mp, giving you 1000 again. It will continue to do this until there are no more points left on the charm and it vanishes.

    It probably ticked more times without you realizing it. Aura of the Golden Bell makes it tick automatically, for example.

    ohh okay that makes a lot more sense, thanks!
    Also, as a BM yourself, if money/coins is not an issue, at what level should i get a HP/MP charm?

    It depends more on personal preferences than on level.

    If you don't like to take a rest while waiting for your HP to recover, e.g. when farming mobs, just implant your HP charm and you don't need to pay much attention to your HP bar.

    An MP charm isn't really necessary for BMs if you simply hit mobs unless you like to use your skills extensively.

    If for PVP, well I don't have any experience with that.
