Last night I was checking prices on plate mail, and decided to mem up the charisma
song just to see if it made even a 1cp difference in prices. I used my mino horn
and targeted the indifferent shopkeeper. Low and behold, he con'd amiable after
the song took affect. Not only did he con amiable, but so did every other
shopkeeper in east Freeport.The price of the chest plate remained at 794pp though
with my 90 charisma. (I think prices can only go so low).
Afterwards I decided to go into west Freeport and try it out some more. I went
around considering different shopkeepers, all who were indifferent. I then used
the song on ONE shopkeeper, and she became amiable along with the rest of them.
I then used it on a Freeport Militia guard (they all con apprehensive to me), and
then they all became amiable as well.
I'm not sure if this song was just recently fixed or what. Perhaps its related to
your wind instrument skill. I'm lvl 27 now so perhaps a high wind skill is
required for it to make a noticable difference.
The affects of the song are not permenant. The duration of the affects seem to be
random.
So no, you cant use this song on the Dark Elf guards, then expect to walk freely
thru Neriak for a half hour. On the other hand (if you dont have invis yet), use
it on a Dark Elf guard and run thru Nektulos on your way to Lavastorm without them
attacking you. Thats just an example. I'm sure there are many other uses yet to be
discovered.
Say you die inside the house of Unrest and you need to get your corpse. Perhaps
you can target a skel or whatever, use the song on it and then the entire
UnrestInhabitants faction will be amiable to you for a few minutes? Enough time to
/corpse your corpse to safety and wont have to worry about getting someone to
cast invis + invis vs undead on you.
Just an idea, but I havent actually tested these things yet.
I suggest you all experiment with this a bit.
