Charms System
Introduction
The Charm System allows players to collect and upgrade special items that provide passive, permanent stat bonuses as long as they are in the character's inventory. Charms are categorized as consumable-like accessories and can be upgraded through five grades: None (Base) → D → C → B → A. Each grade multiplies the charm's base effect.
| Key Features of the Charm System | |
|---|---|
| Maximum Charms |
|
| Upgrading | Charms are upgraded via the NPC Aragon at (omegamap,175,172)
. There are two upgrade methods: a cheaper option with a risk of losing the charm on failure, and a "safe" option that is more expensive but preserves the charm if the upgrade fails. |
| Stacking Effects | The bonuses from charms of the same type stack. However, if you exceed the maximum number of charms allowed for a specific type, all effects from that charm type will be nullified. You will receive a one-time warning message if this happens. |

How to Upgrade Charms
The upgrade process is handled exclusively by the NPC Aragon.
- Speak to Aragon at (omegamap,175,172)
.
- Select the charm you wish to upgrade from your inventory. Only non-A-grade charms will be listed.
- Choose your preferred upgrade method:
- Minimum Cost: Cheaper, but the charm is destroyed upon failure.
- Safe Cost: More expensive, but the charm is not destroyed upon failure (you only lose the materials and Zeny for the attempt).
- Confirm the process to pay the material and Zeny cost. A successful upgrade will be accompanied by a special effect.

The following materials and success rates apply to each upgrade attempt (e.g., the cost for None → D is the same as D → C, except where noted).

Strategy & Tips
| Obtaining Charms | Base charms can be found as drops from high-level monsters (especially in Episode 21+ areas like (jor_sklf2,{{{2}}},{{{3}}})
), quest rewards, or from special events. Upgraded charms cannot be traded. |
| Upgrade Strategy | Because failure can result in losing your charm, it is highly recommended to use the Safe Cost option when upgrading rare or high-grade charms. Use the Minimum Cost option only if you have easily replaceable, low-grade charms. |
| Stacking Bonuses | Prioritize upgrading charms to Grade A to maximize the 5x multiplier. Do not carry more than the maximum allowed number of a charm type (3 for basic, 2 for novice) in your inventory at once, or you will lose all bonuses from that type. |
| Max Bonus Example | With three A-grade STR Charms, you would gain a massive bonus of (5 STR × 5 multiplier) × 3 charms = +75 STR. |
