Song or Instrument Check Newbie Question
 

Got a 27 bard and about to start charming. Got a question--if I am charming without a flute, is my success of landing the charm based on the song skill or the flute skill (knowing that the flute doubles the chance). In other words, if I have a flute of 80 and a singing of 140, and I am holding weapons, will my chances be calculated on the 80 flute or the 140 singing?

I believe it'll still use your wind skill for missed notes chance, but without a wind instrument equipped you cannot get a skill up from the cast. Sit in a corner and play lev/invis/EB song for a few hours.

/r Thanks. Very helpful.
