  • FFXI Theories - Beastmaster Sub Job!
    Final Fantasy XI still full of myths, theories, and secrets, even in 2021. One of the greatest of these has always been how the strength of charm is determined when BST is your SJ. There's a large group that supports this is based on the level of your BST main....which would be unique in the world of FFXI. But could it be true?

      @@xzanderain You are missing details. Charm success has a Chr comparison between the bst and the mob sure, but there is also a level correction adjustment. the difference is 10% charm success rate per level difference. that goes up and down. cap on charm success is 95%. I was part of all the testing years ago. we have an accurate formula.
      The reason people don't know or forgot is that they didn't play bst while charm was a thing. SE has killed charm starting a long time ago.

      WAR is a decent sub......
      Until this day; I always felt BST should be on Great-axe. BST always seemed like Warriors long lost cousin who decided to go down the path of nature, instead of a Berserker.
      BST should be on most GAs, including the EMP one imo.
      This would open up more sc and sub options for BST.
      Ukko and Hoof Volley makes light lvl 4 iirc, and Hoof Volley under Unleashed is BST at its' strongest.

    Since there’s no Combat or Magic Skill attached to charm maybe it’s just a straight Level check modified by gear/CHR. A level check would just take into account main job, sub /BST just gets you the ability.

      Wow, I just double checked the wiki's and somone removed the charm success rate formula we posted 12 years ago. and it looks like the ZAM forums have taken down the beastmaster forum as well. /cry There go the references for alot of pet testing.
      You are close, but you have it inverted. Charm success rate caps at 95%. It is primarily affected by the CHR comparison between the beastmaster's charism and the mob's charisma. AFTER that comparison there is a level correction. The level correction on charm success is +/- 10%. there is no adjustment if player and mob are same level, but success rate goes down by 10% for every level above the player level, and success rate goes up by 10% for every level mob is below the player. But yes the level correction is COMPLETELY based off your beastmaster level. REGARDLESS of whether its the main job or subjob.
      I don't remember what the floored Charm success rate was. It could be 20% like most hit-rate floors... I know we did test it. This is why it was typically impossible to charm something more than 9 levels above you. Your success rate certainly is floored at that point. I don't remember if we tested with aurorastorm or not, but iridal/chatoyant had the posted bonus to charm success rate. We tested the crap out of charm success rate. The formula was not very difficult.
      There are several mobs that are uncharmable even though they are not Notorious monsters. For examble: Malboro and Manticores, Large Birds.

    I had a friend who I would farm with in Sanctuary of Zitah, and his BST sub was only like, 20 or so. He would constantly fail charms.
    As someone who leveled a lot of jobs sub BST (after taking BST to 75), I know as a sub it definitely works.
    Also if you want to test it, it'd take like half a day to level BST from 1-37, test, then 37-75 and test again.

    Bst us also been a job that not a lot of people have the will to try back in the hay day. solo leveling was very hard and even when they added jug pets making them not take exp it was still hard to party for bst. When I see someone with a 75 bst I image the being like a Buddhist monk or something training for inner peace and that inner peace is 75 bst.

I would sub rng and find LL on scan but couldn't beat voke. I then subbed bst and macroed charm. 9 out of 10 I would get claim after that change. After a while peeps followed suit. Then eventually the ex/rare fix. On a side note I had a friend rage quit the game because he was trying to flex his gil selling Leaping boots to himself on AH. He bought someone else boots because they put it up at the exact moment for less when he went to buy it, was like a 2mil sell which was a lot at the time.

      I haven't tested it in retail as it was hard to /bst in parties. But on Eden at the very least it does matter. I thought it would be just a rumor but did test it.
      I used gauge on my 35 thf with my bst at 20 and it was nearly impossible to get a solid charm rate. Slowly leveled my bst then gauged and charmed and noticed it increase until it was nearly nominal to my bst. Unfortunately Thf has horrid chr.
      So i can't say anything about retail but on eden at least this is how it works.

    • @micahseekins2892
      @micahseekins2892 3 года назад

  • @jacobusher2227
    @jacobusher2227 2 года назад

    The reason why people used Chr to increase charm and songs is because Chr is your magic acc/magic evasion stat. 2 Chr=+1 magic acc/magic evasion. At lvl 75 cap there was not much magic acc+ equip available; so increasing the Chr stat was the biggest magic acc improvement you could make. Charm is a ability that relies on your basic magic acc(based off of your Chr stat) and is not like most magic or songs which relies on your skill level+ Chr stat; and why it works the same as sub job(there is no skill level for charm). So charm success must be based off of your total magic acc vs mob magic evasion(I am sure there is some sort of % resist rate just like magic spells).
    What makes things interesting at lvl 99+(master levels) is the job trait Tandem blow giving subtle blow II to any job as well as increasing your Dot with whatever dmg the pet does through melee dmg(assuming you are using a similar lvl charmed pet to yourself that has enough acc to hit your target). Tandem strike also gives you acc bonus.

    Merit points take other job levels into account. You get them on one job, they stay for the other jobs. As if those boosts were added to your character's base stats rather than the job. Charm success rate could use your BST level on your character page.
    Or it's just like chocobo digging, where it's a skill you have to level up, that isn't listed in any menu. So they guy who did 99 levels of BST skilled it up, and your 49 BST didn't.

    I remember us talking about this the first time in your stream. I can confirm this was a thing, I lived in this era when it was info only passed from bst mains to ppl who were friends with bst. Cause we all know the general pop really didn't care for bst at the time esp at exp camps. If I am not mistaken this was changed many years after but I can confirm it. I know bst who was lvling other jobs solo this way. I even did it with my whm because pting whm was a pain back in 2004-2005. Thats why the rdm/bst gear was sold very popularly "ogre stuff". I know I did a lot of farming solo on rdm/bst.

  • @josephmiller521
    @josephmiller521 3 года назад

    Okay, Charm is a die roll. And this is how I picture it works. Your enemy has a die roll too. The higher level you and the lower level the mob is the more dice you get to roll, the higher level the mob is the more dice the mob gets to roll. Beastmasters level doesn't matter, charm isn't an upgradable skill, you can add duration but the level you are is what level charm is. It's not broken, because as /sub beast you don't get any of the pet commands, it's as good as the charm song. So its useless as sub. They did this way so probably they didn't have to make a charm 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. Left it equal to the players level/chr. Because it's only useful if you're mailing beast

  • @TheHomicidalTendency
    @TheHomicidalTendency 3 года назад +1

    I always assumed it was CHR + main job level. I don't think it has anything to do with /bst lvl other than chr it may give when capped.

  • @DanielRenardAnimation
    @DanielRenardAnimation 3 года назад

    In a way, it makes... sense?... kinda?
    There are a handful of abilities, that goes in and looks at- or grant a specific value. Like a Warriors Defender, which pops a +25% to the players defense and -25% to Attack, core values that remain the same, but "increase" by overall stats. Gauge/Charm probably looks specifically at a players CHR vs the stats of a monster that can be charmed.
    I can't imagine how this would benefit me in situations, where a different subjob wouldn't outweigh the little merit of having a "pet". I see people mentioning being able to solo jobs to 75, but let's say you go THF/BST, cute, now you essentially got a little tank+extra hits on your enemies. You may still take damage during combat, from AoE's or grabbing the monsters attention, now with very limited means of healing yourself.
    I did THF/RDM I think, slow and steady, not really worrying about HP, just keeping Regen (at least THF42/RDM21) on and popping an Energy Steal/Drain TP move, easily getting back the cost of MP it took to cast it. Not to forget, all other buffs that you can utilize. - Oh, I'm of course talking about chewing through Easy, Decent or Even Match enemies... not really something that will get EXP chains going, but at least won't brutally kill you if something bad happens.
    I see people commenting on soloing other high-CHR jobs, like WHM and such and yea, sure, if you can run down to Valley of Sorrows and get 300+ EXP by having Tough/Very Tough crabs fight each other for a few minutes, there's indeed that.
    Again, I don't think it's THAT broken. It would be, if I could go... say, RDM/BST and STILL pop out a special BST pet to match the level of my main job, inside of BCNM like "Up In Arms" and just having my RDM Gravity-kite and DoT that Kraken, while some pet was just absolutely beating it up.

    I haven't play FFXI too long, but I don't see a problem here. Your job level is only a "yes/no" condition, in another words, you can do it if you have the condition meet. It is your stats that truly define your strength. It is just like wearing any weapon in game, your condition (i.e. job level) only decided if you can use it or not, but it is your total stats that affects the damage range of the outcome. It is nonsense to think a lv 30 WAR will always be stronger than a lv 29 WAR. That's my 2 cents.

    so, Ive recently DL ff11 again..and at first I was turned off by it! it broke my heart how much it has changed since I last played. But Ive been unable to shake the feeling of wanting to play FF11. So I gave it a real shot..and im loving it!! FF11 is really fun! huge maps, the feeling of being lost in areas and dodging high lv mobs to find the camp spot you want. I love FF11!!..but I feel very lonely in it. Nobody wants to level together, or quest together. Im running around with my trusts (and having a blast btw! Excenmille is my fav!) but Im missing the community aspect of an MMO. Where does one go to find a LS? what exactly is a private server and how do I join on? I play on Ashura server and I do see many people running around, nobody seems to wanna chat or hang outYour videos have rekindled a love of FF11 I havent felt since WotG

    What if Charm just doesn't care about level at all? I agree it seems unlikely that charm cares about your "beastmaster actual level" for example, what if you were a level 10 RDM/99BST, certainly you cant charm a level 70 mob. More likely, charm is dependent exclusively on the CHR stat (and light element) and perhaps takes into account main job level (regardless of whether or not the main job is BST or not).
    This kind of makes sense from the perspective that no job abilities that I am aware of scale with level. As far as I know, any job abilities that do get stronger with level do so by way of a passive trait. Does charm have any passive traits related to it? If not, it does make sense that it is strictly dependent on stats rather than level.

      It's most likely the main job level. It makes no sense for charm to be connected to the /bst. It's an ability it works the same bst or /bst. There will not likely be any special formula it'll be lvl difference + CHR difference there's no connection to bst job specifically other than to have the ability.

      so there is always a 5% fail rate on charm. The rate is set into percetantes. BG wiki had it correct, the only thing he got wrong about that part was that you can be so far below the mobs levels on your bsts main level that you have no shot at charming a mob and it will say imposaible to charm. You can overcome this with absurd levels of CHR but even still if the gap is to great it might still not allow you to charm.

    Charm is completely based off CHR and stuff like light staff. You WILL be able to charm easier on BRD BUT. Charm duration will be greatly reduced because it's your sub job. I think it's 1/2 duration. Its been like this since Day 1 BST was released.

    18:12 could've done the tests on those two colibris, it's less room for error. Or use level checker add-on.
    Also I believe this rumor is based more of the duration of the Charm than it is of the rate you can charm; this is because Charm is based on CHR vs CHR.
    As for the duration of the Charm, it's based on your BST's actual level vs the Mob's level. I do believe people actually did tests for that, probably on the wikiclopedia.
    Bards do get a Charm song too, dunno if that works the same as BST charming. I think it's mostly used to get a mob to de-aggro because the BRD cannot command it and it lasts a short while.
    Could it be linked to having BST leveled though?
    It's cool that you can do tests on the actual server, I think my BST lower level. I'll check it out during the next free campaign maybe.

    BG-Wiki Charm page has references at the bottom to the allakhazam page where Falkirk, Byrth and I did the charm testing on the test server. The bg people wisely linked to the web-archive versions cuz allakahazm is LONG gone.
    The notes and samples are there.
    We confirmed exact duration formula and confirmed the charm success rate that lines up with the different messages in Gauge. We also confirmed that gauge calculates depending on both dLvl and dChr. It does NOT consider the effect of light staff, even though I tested and showed light staff's boost to charm success rate.
    Testing samples and discussion are all clearly available in the archive. Dasva also did alot of pet testing and posted it on bg forums.
    The behavior of charm is not a myth. it was tested and documented. In retrospect I wish I would have persisted to get the exact success rate formula. I'm pretty sure I could and it wouldn't be that hard.

    Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the bible, the One True God made us to worship him, obey him, and enjoy him forever. We break His laws daily by not putting Him first, not thanking Him like we should, we lie, we lust, we have sex before marriage, we dishonor our parents, we covet things other people have, we take God's name and use it in vain, we use it in a low manner, sometimes as a cuss word, (God is holy and even His name is holy), we don't love like we should, etc. In doing so we're saying He's not a good provider, He's a liar, He's untrustworthy, He's not worthy of praise. All these things and more are counted against us. The bible says God is the just judge of the world and one day He will settle the score for all the wrong we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and higher than us. God being good, must punish all sin or wrong doing in the world. This means that if you sin one time God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross (He took the wrath of God that was meant for you and I) then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who believe for eternity. Jesus died and on the third day He rose from the grave. Get right with God today don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgement. Hebrews 9:27 It's the most important thing you can do. You must be born again John 3:7 If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross it shows that you've been born again or born spiritually. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying and going to church you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this and ask me any questions you have as this is the most important thing you can ever think of in your life. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You decide. Have a great day!
