Transporting charmed Humans

[ScarletBlood]

Okay I just can't anymore. Since first unlocking Servants and more recently Prison cells and creating enough space to house them all I have attempted to transport over 20 charmed humans from different points across the map to my castle.

I have only successfully got 5 back to base to be converted or imprisoned. Of which 3 were basically testing options to throw into the fire in my many many attempts to get them safely back to base so their blood is basically worthless anyway.

I have found 100% blood in several classes, over 80% in more... Yet of those options atleast those that survived to be charmed (Thank you Torch-throwers and Fire Archers I will murder each and every one of you) none survived the trip home.

There needs to be another option or safer way to get them back. I've attempted every option available to me. I've run back while staying off main roads on foot, I've used a horse, I've even tried using Slashers and camouflage. Again and again the humans get hit my random fire, simply disappear or most recently a blind arrow a random NPC outside my castle attempted to aim at me... Which hit my 100% blood Trapper just 5 places from my gates.

There is just no way to direct them or keep them safe and they are just so low health a breeze kills them. Something needs to be done, especially with how many random pats roam the game. Which in itself is fine, but after I spend so long searching for high lvl bloods, go through the effort of killing everything around them and then the delicate process of not killing them while charming. I cannot deal with random RNG and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ killing my work.

takes forever to find a decent blood % one.. atleast for me.. i killed almost everyone in dunley farms.. doing a circle around the area trying to find anything 100%.. so far i've gotten a 100% rogue and a 100% warrior.. 93% brute and a 90%scholar. nothing else over 90.... but they are like my pokemon.. gotta catch em all!

if they make it back alive... yay for torchbearers tossing fire lol.

There is "another" option ^^

Warning -> SPOILER!!
You can use the "Cave Passages" to transport EVERYTHING...
This also includes charmed Humans!

Some of them are more or less exit only / one way trips though.
Especially when having a servant in tow.
And depending on where your castle is on a cramped server, they won't help in general even if the way back to base ends up being ridiculously long.

Use a horse

I was told that if you ride on a horse (fast) then charmed npcs foillow you at super speeds and become immune to damage.

I charmed 6 paladins and 3 light weavers in Brighthaven and just rode out back to the farms and when I got to my base they just teleported next to me.

Have you tried not babysitting them on the way back? like literally just forget they exist and they won't even be on the screen to get hit (unless you stop riding or get hit off your horse)

This. They can run as fast as you can travel. If you are on a horse they will just dodge everything

This is not true. They do not become immune to damage. Higher level followers are harder to kill/damage as they seem to keep their "gear level". Where as any lower level follower will get one shot by any stray projectile.

Honestly, the charm mechanic needs tweaking. If they want players to not yolo their way back to base in hopes that their worker follower wont get killed, then they need to make followers impervious to damage and even disallow riding. It seems silly that you can ride a horse but can't turn into a wolf. I just can't see the logic in that kind of design.

Take a pair of iron daggers with you, abuse the dash and the camouflage skill to get home safely. Charmed humans do not trigger ennemies attacks.

I've lost count how many good charms I've lost due to fire. It's not always transporting them that's the problem, it's having them survive long enough to even charm them

Take for example, you find a high % target, but they're paired with some buddies such as a fire archer, torch bearer, or bomber. Not only do you have to not accidently kill your target, but you have to avoid an excessive amount of fire, while your target feels being set on fire is his shield against you

And then, if you some how manage it, there's no way to attempt to heal your charmed target, because you're locked out of all your spells. Would be nice to be able to heal them for the journey back to your castle

Having a horse ready does help, and they do indeed keep up, but there's still a chance a random arrow might just miss you as you ride by and nail your charm

Yesterday I found a 100% worker, all on his own, no guards near. Easy target. Not far from castle either. Then I watched him die instantly because I hit the Q button instead of the R button by accident. Not blaming anything for that, it was my screw up. I'm pretty sure I felt as dead inside as my vamp at that point though

I have had some awsomely bad luck in this game. Still enjoying it though XD

Just for the record, you can still use your ults. So even if you have a healing ult equipped and use it, it just won't heal or damage the charmed enemy. It's pretty bad.

[Akadai]

I only just recently got that ult. Good to know though, I wont waste the skill in trying

Had a friend jump in the game for the first time recently, and while getting him settled he kept running into 100% bloods. All found in the lower level areas where I kind of stopped roaming. He has become an odd lucky charm I guess. Only ones we're missing now is a worker and a scholar

If you have a spare Castle Heart available, bring the materials to make one as well as a few borders and a prison cell and a Fat Goby fish. Find the human you want, charm them, then put the heart, borders, cell down. Put them in, feed them the Goby to full health, then take them out, dismantle the structures (if you're quick enough you should get 100% building materials back as there's a small safety window when you're placing stuff). Then you can take them home with full health. They could still die, but they can take a lot more damage lol

Charm, jump on horse, run back to base.
It's really simple. Targets have zero risk of dying. It's fast.

when you live in the cursed swamp thats simply not true, Ive lost every charmed follower while riding on horseback. They always get killed by stray fire or poison

[AnthraX]

Eh how can you use cave passage when there’s a cliff to jump down on exit do they also jump down
