Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 4,145 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 4,145 Donate  | Bard Help [Needed] Im thinking of making a Tar Mnk/Brd the reasoning is to sing for attack boosts before i melee the enemy, i was wondering if i could get some opinions on this.
Also do i have to buy songs like spells?
Last question is can i use an instrument if im Mnk/Brd or not plus the penalties of having the Brd job as sub class not primary class.

Without instruments, every song except for the HP regen and MP regen songs work at about 1/2 effectiveness max. Also as a bard sub you can only keep 1 song going at a time.
Also you must buy songs like spells, however songs have been *much* cheaper for me so far than white mage spells, yet that might be do to relative bard rarity than anything else.  Still trying to play way too much...

I personally will sub some other mage for my RDM tho. For more magics and MP.
and umm... ballard is level 25. so you need 50/25 atleast There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 470 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 470 Donate | I just got ballad and I was sort of disappointed... 1 mp every 3 seconds only... I am hoping that it is just because of my level and that ballad will increase in strength but I'm not sure it will (the pain spells never seemed to get stronger and I assume ballad was similiar). Perhaps this was one of the bard nerfs mentioned earlier... Still trying to play way too much...

but BRD also got other songs. altho you only got 1 ballard you still can boost your party wit ht tons other songs. which are all great help There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 125 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 125 Donate | Your songs will increase in strength as you level, my Pian1 and 2 songs are capable of regenerating 2 and 3 HP, respectively. I believe Ballad1 was able to regenerate up to 2 MP prior to the 4/15 patch, but it only regenerates 1 MP now. Bard is still a highly sought after job for PTs, so don't be too discouraged.
