Tunare's Request is still not working as intended. It's a long charm with a 2 hours 45 minutes @ L55 to 3 hours 15 minutes @ L65 duration but on this server it's not even worth memming. I did a 10 charm test on a low level shadow wolf in West Commonlands and the results were a 6 minute and 2 minute charm with the other 8 attempts being well under a minute. This was after casting a Glamour of Tunare to lower MR. I then tried to camp out while the pet was charmed but got interrupted 3 different times from charm breaks. That's 3 times in a row the charm wouldn't hold for 30 seconds.

I was really looking forward to the spell while I was leveling as I dig the idea of a long duration pet even if it's capped at level 35 and I really don't want to be forced into just using the booboo bear pet that's nearly useless. No offense to fans of Nature Walkers Behest. He's a cute bear I'll give you that.

Is this even a classic spell? I find no mentions prior to 2002.

Earliest mention here in lucy is an intial entry from 03/07/2002. Is possible it was misflagged as a 'Kunark' item on ZAM and slipped by.

I'll check some spdat files in the coming weeks

Well egg on my face, on archive.org it sure showed up in era, strange finding little mention with straight google. Oh well.

I will say that I came across various comments of the spell not lasting 3 hours as you mention, a lot of 10 minute breaks (casters realm had listed at 8 minutes). Guessing you should have better luck than you are having with low level creatures though. Never know how original EQ devs coded it, may have had a higher probability of breaking?

When the charm breaks, is the animal aggroing you? Apparently a benefit of the spell was a charm break would wipe you from their hate list and not attack.

No wasn't agro when charm was breaking. I accidentally casted call of karana when I tried to camp causing the agro oops.
