Speaking of charms. It's a pity how few people know about the BEST defense charms in the game which reduce by 67% instead of the normal 50% (which by default require 9 Apothocary but can be obtained another way..... :>)


And That would be nice. A decomposing of shards for lower tier even if it was like a 33% loss. or w/e you lost 1 per that it would've cost to build up.

Wait, there's a way to get those charms?
Any chance you can share? You just made me VERY curious b:surrender

    Oh sure, go ahead and flaunt your knowledge of something I told you in faction chat b:chuckle

    Then again, I only knew of it because they're fairly popular charms to use on private servers b:quiet
    Well if you ask me, it's less the effect and more the duration.

    For me, it'd have to be ridiculously cheap for me to ever consider a 1 hour long effect worth it. Make it a few days or a week or a month and you got me.

    Heck, if I did more every day than just cube and Morai dailies, I would be all over the 2 Gold 1 month telebell.

    For me it's less the duration and more the cost.

    Having a rune that lasts for like a week seems a little... yeah. Especially when seekers can overbuff them.

    The effects that current highest-tier runes offer seem worthy of maybe 50k to me. Maybe make them untradeable in exchange for that so runecrafting is at least something worth working for.

    Was watching some lunarglade videos for how to run it for the cape and someone showed some of the items and it went from there.

    And on the new character event faction?

    Mhm, and you even said you didn't know that before b:scorn

    iirc it went something like...

    Me: Or you could use those -67% charms.
    You: GL finding someone with lv9 apoth.
    Me: etc etc.

    But by all means do spread the knowledge. Inciting people to run new dungeons is always a good thing b:chuckle

    True, but it was a highly informative off-topic... kinda.

    On the topic though, it's rather ironic for me that I used phys defense charms more frequently at lower levels than I do now. Between rampant APS and the cooldowns, though, I actually rarely bother with them outside of a few obvious (and not so obvious) situations.

    Always wondered if attack charms would improve BB healing, though. It doesn't consume any charms, not for casting nor for the ticks.

    Guess it's just a bit hard to test.

    Meh, you can't use att charms with G16 weapons

    EDIT: 1 more question, can you get the charms with gold medals also? Or do you have to really watch the time and wait with handing in if you are to fast

    That, too.

    Not sure if it's actually a glitch since warsouls are also G16 and have been around since like forever.

    A weapon being G16 doesn't seem to affect refining bonuses over G15, since R9S3 (G16) refines the same as second cast (G15) nirvana. Warsouls even refine for lower than that.

    Well that's why I stack Pdef and use mdef charms. It's just not worth it besides skills like Arma or any other high physical DPH coming to eat your face off.

    Does it consume when you use the initial skill?

    Does it work if you cast a heal on someone?

    If it does my guess would be yes for the initial heal proc but after no?

    Interesting point raised though

    Silver and bronzes.

    Speaking of which, I wonder if charms still get consumed for buffing. Been so long since I saw it and started religiously unequipping them while buffing I forgot if it was fixed or not.

    For the initial skill: No.

    For other heals: I would say yes, but after testing it, it doesn't. I am 100% sure that heals used to consume charms before. I guess it got changed?

    Not anymore.

    This makes me think that heals were never affected by attack charms and that they just fixed it so those skills don't consume them.

    I am not 100% sure, but I believe attack charms do get used while you are in dragon's breath. So if they work for healing, I gues they'd work for BB every tick.
    Would be kinda a waste though, as most clerics already have more than enough magic attack to overheal

    In that case maybe they stopped being consumed for heals as part if the fix for being consumed for buffs... which means I'd assume they don't affect heals as well like how if you equip them and swap to a weapon they don't work with they'll have no effect and won't be consumed .

    Heals also never produced the blue sparkle effect that Attack Charms give to skills, so maybe that's an indication?

    Then again, Violet Dance and seals still consume the charms, yet the heal blocking skills do not.

    And you can also not equip/unequip them in Violet Dance which is also fairly annoying b:chuckle

    Like barbs and venos in beast form. Interesting note. Perhaps a bug.

    Nah, they just implented violet dance in the exact same way as true form, fox form, and all other shapeshift skills. Part of this system is that your gear is locked
