Notes/Description

Beastmasters can use this secret technique to impose their will onto a charmed monster, intensifying their strength and increasing the duration of their service.

  • Familiar is a Beastmaster's Two Hour Ability.
  • In order to use this ability, the Beastmaster must have a pet active, obtained either via Charm or Call Beast.
  • While active, Charm status cannot wear off naturally. Since Familiar lasts for up to 30 minutes, a charmed pet will stay with the user for up to 30 minutes from the start of the charm, regardless of level difference. Pay close attention to the 'up to 30 minutes' part. It won't always last 30 minutes. Be careful.
  • Familiar only lasts for one pet. If the pet is defeated or lost in some other way (moving to another area, using Leave, etc.), Familiar is cancelled.
  • This ability will boost a pet's HP by 10%. This applies to both charmed and called pets.
  • This ability boosts a pet's attack speed by approximately 25%.
  • This ability may increase the pet's Attack, Accuracy, Evasion, Defence etc, by a moderate amount. Verification Needed

Macro Syntax

  • /ja "Familiar" <me>
  • Since Familiar is a two hour special, some people prefer not to make a macro for it to prevent unintentional activation.
