Charm and Magic Accuracy

[Rags]

Just to note, I was doing a test with Gauge a while back and as part of my control I found that Apollo's Staff didn't affect the Gauge message*, so unfortunately this isn't as conclusive as you'd think.

69 BST/WHM using Gauge on a Date Eruca

Naked                    "It would be difficult for Plight to charm the Date Eruca."
CHR+12                   "It would be difficult for Plight to charm the Date Eruca."
CHR+13                   "Plight might be able to charm the Date Eruca."
CHR+12 w/ Apollo's       "It would be difficult for Plight to charm the Date Eruca."

Sooo Gauge doesn't factor in everything. So much for that test.

Gauge factors in wether or not you can charm a mob. To charm a mob involves Chr. So gauge really only factors Chr into the equation.

It's a great way to test the amount of Chr ones needs to charm a mob though. The only downside is that the message are limited. 0 chr = It would be difficult for Plight to charm the Date Eruca. +15chr = might be able to charm the Date Eruca. +40chr = might be able to charm the Date Eruca.

i think the above poster was indicating that the apollo's staff is not factored into the gauge calculations. it's well known that an apollo's will drastically increase charm success rate, but gauge did not differentiate between +12 chr with and +12 chr without the apollo's staff on. still, i'm sitting on my expectation that macc has no effect.
