Charms are small things on a cord that hang from your coat. Each one changes how something works: how you fish, grow crops, fight, get by or carry things. You can wear two at once. You tie them at the Charm Table, and you also find them on creatures, in chests and on your fishing line.
CONTENTS
Wearing charms
- Your pack has two charm pockets. A charm in either pocket is worn.
- The numbers of two charms add together. Two Fighter's Charms with Keen 8% and Keen 10% give Keen 18%.
- An effect that is simply on or off (such as Iron Gut) does nothing more for being on both charms.
- Two of the same creature charm give the effect once, not twice.
- Ward from both charms together stops at 75% less damage.
- Worn charms show as little pendants swinging from your coat.
The Charm Table
The Charm Table is a building piece. It costs 5 Wood, 2 Stone, 3 Any Grass, 2 Water Spirits and 1 Earth Spirit. E at it to tie charms. It has two pages: CHARMS (the five crafted charms) and CREATURE (the ten creature charms).
The table can be upgraded twice: to the Jeweller's Table, then the Enchanter's Table. Each upgrade makes charms take less (85%, then 70% of what they took) and come out finer: every number effect on a charm made there is 5% to 10% stronger at the Jeweller's Table and 10% to 15% stronger at the Enchanter's Table. See Table Upgrades.
Metals
Every charm comes in five metals: Bone, Bronze, Iron, Steel and Endurium. For the five crafted charms, the metal sets how many effects the charm rolls and how strong they are. For every charm, it sets the stat traits.
| Metal | Effects (crafted charms) | Each stat trait |
|---|---|---|
| Bone | 1 | +1% to +3% |
| Bronze | 1 (2 in 35% of charms) | +2% to +5% |
| Iron | 2 (1 in 25% of charms) | +3% to +7% |
| Steel | 2 (3 in 35% of charms) | +5% to +10% |
| Endurium | 3 (2 in 25% of charms) | +7% to +14% |
Stat traits
Every charm also rolls 0 to 5 stat traits, each on a different one of the eight stats (health, stamina, defense, attack, speed, jump, swim, endurance). Better metals tend to roll more of them. They add to your coat's stats the same way (see Raincoats). A charm with all 5 is called Storied, as in Storied Iron Fighter's Charm. At the Augmentation Table, new stat traits on a charm roll in its metal's range.
Crafted charms (the CHARMS page)
Each crafted charm rolls its effects from its own list, with no effect twice. The ranges below are for Bone, Bronze, Iron, Steel and Endurium in turn. Effects marked "rarer" come up less often than the rest.

Finding charms
- Some night creatures drop a crafted charm now and then: a gnawling 3% of the time, longlegs 7%, and the Hollow Stag 60%.
- Chests can hold charms.
- Charms can come up on a fishing line, tangled in weed.
A charm that is found is rolled just like one you make.
Legendary charms
Legendary charms are gifts of friendship from tenants. They have fixed effects, can't be made at the Charm Table, and are worn in the same two pockets.
Tips
- A Packer's Charm is worth wearing early: even a Bone one gives 3 more pockets.
- Pair a Fighter's Charm with a creature charm that fits your weapon: the Raker Talon for running attacks, the Wyvern Talon for plunges.
- The Gargoyle Shard suits a player who stands and parries; the Chupacabra Quill suits one who dodges.
- Swap to an Angler's or Gardener's Charm at home, and back to fighting charms before you set out.
- Charms you no longer want can go in The Grinder.
