Recruiting Faeries?

[Mechalibur]

One of the fights in the Woods dungeon has some Faerie Familiars in one of the encounters. However, the Vartan Fey Pact ability shows 0% and the ineligible icon when trying to recruit them.

The enemy was at very low hp, had low loyalty, and my character was adjacent to them. Is there something else I'm missing here? I haven't had any difficulty with recruitment for any other creature types.

Perhaps the fairy/familar is frighten/under any status effect, it needs to be smoking clean when you recruit it.
I successfully recruit a fairy myself so I know they are recruitable.

This, any status effect renders recruitment impossible. So take the terror knights away from the faerie. XD Box it in with knights who don't have counterattack and just move the rest away.

Gremlins, the snake-like ones require Demon's Pact, from Lich. So, unfortunately they aren't recruitable until you reach Pirate's Graveyard at the earliest. Same goes for Orcs.

Edit: Misread the OP, you're probably trying to recruit a rogue which are unrecruitable but available to enemy faeries/gremlins

check their class. you can't recruit a faerie if they're a rogue.

They weren't a rogue. I think they were frightened though. Thanks, everyone.

Sorry for the minor necro, but, yeah, the Rogue variants can self buff with the quickened buff. And due to this, they cannot be recruited. So, any type of status effect affects this, regardless if it is a buff or a debuff.

I take that back, it feels like you cannot recruit the rogue variants?

Yes, the Rogue class is now just completely unobtainable, humans faeries and gremlins are all unrecruitable if they're in the Rogue class. Wasn't the case in the PSP version, they just removed a playable class from the game.

That is beyond lame.
