Charms/Rings

I bought a monk charm of the skill trader in Lions Arch, Healing Touch I think? Now my question is wouldnt I just double click a monk skill ring and click the charm to learn this? I tried it and it wouldnt let me learn it. Doing something wrong here or? I dont know, anyone have any comments or sugguestions plz let me know.

you double click the ring then the charm, but I did find that some charms, required a better type of ring or necklace...

Example: Superior Necklace was used with my Charm (Animal charm) technique. That allowed my friends to get pets for later missions. Our parties were as big as 16 when you count all the pets... That was for BloodStone Fen... 8 lynx are a formidable presence in and of themselves. Mix in 8 more players of varying professions and you have a one heck of a battle guild team...

Tell the people interested to go get a superior necklace and a charm, and come back to you when they got it, I did this in our guild areas... kinda like making custom guild quests. telling everyone to go get this or that then come back. Then once they have everything they need I merged the skill to the charm and gave it back to them so they can merge it with their Superior necklace. Now they have the ability... so next Guild Quest was to go find a pet. (D'Alessios Seaboard seemed to be a good place to get a lynx.)
Lastly we join Pet assisted parties and played through the upper levels, and/ or explored the map.

As a Ranger / Warrior, the one skill I'm lacking is a resurect skill, so I will have to do this myself with a monk to get that ability next time. This is Very bad in an emergency and you are the only one left alive... With no way to resurect the monk.

Prob Those are the two most useful abilities to make charms for.

What do superior charm necklaces do? allow you to permanently learn a charm outside your professions?

superior charm necklaces allow you to learn any skill, including ones not in your profession, but they will be considered elite and only last 24 real-time hours.

Yeah there is no problem joining parties when your a high level monk. I would type in the chat box "I can ressurect peeps and familiars!" Instant offers to join.

In order to permanently learn a skill, your charcter must have that profession as either your primary or secondary profession. If you're not a monk, you won't be able to permanently learn Healing Touch, or any other monk skill. What you can do if you really want to use that skill is buy a superior necklace from an outfitter and use that to learn the skill. The skill will last for 24 hours, after which you can use another necklace and charm to learn it again. However, it will take your elite skill slot if you use a skill that isn't from your professions.

One nice thing is that there are some pretty nice elite skills that aren't tied to an attribute, and ones that are useful even without points in the attribute. Martyr and Grenth's Balance come to mind for elite skills that you could use a charm necklace for without requiring attribute points, and even something like Blood is Power are nice skills with no points in their attribute.

not sure if yall knew, but any non-monk can get the resurrect signet skill, which works great in a pinch..

Well, I still dont get it. Thought you learned a skill for good with a ring and dont know why I couldnt learn that skill with the ring lol.

There are diffrent skill rings? Thought a monk ring was a monk ring. Didnt know there where diffrent ones out there.

You can only learn a skill permanently for one of your classes. You haven't said what your character was, but if you were unable to learn Healing Touch with a Monk Skill Ring, then I'd assume that you didn't have Monk as your primary or secondary profession. The only way you can learn a skill from a different profession is through a superior necklace.

That being said, you do need a monk ring to permanently learn a monk skill from a charm. There are skill rings for each profession, so if you want to learn a Ranger skill on your R/X or X/R, you can use a Ranger Skill Ring and a charm to learn any ranger skill- while a Warrior Skill Ring or Monk Skill Ring won't work for learning that Ranger skill.

The way rings work for learning a skill is that you double click on the skill ring, and then click once on the charm of the skill that you want to learn. Again, this will only work if the skill is a skill for either your primary or secondary profession.
