Re: i need some advice on brd??
um.. well when you start off, there really isn't any "great" eq that'll strengthen the effectiveness of your songs save the instruments (the most important pieces of equipment would probably be the +2skill instruments, which you should try to get since they are not that expensive).

basically, just get a decent sword/dagger and keep minuet+madrigal up on ur PTs early on and paeon after battles - either backup heal once you can or melee once you're done with your songs. i can't really say since your questions are very vague and a great deal of advice pertaining to your questions can already be found around the bard forums ^^a

Re: i need some advice on brd??
For BRD 1-10 go for Melee gear (you know, the standard low lvl armor). try to get all the + 1 instruments (they really do make a difference). Don't worry about the +2 ones. The stats may seem nice but they are pretty pointless since they get swapped out constantly. Once you get to the d00nz get some MP+ equipment. You don't really get any good +CHR equip un like... lvl 15 or so.

Personally, i'd macro the most used songs/instruments for your level. Minuet, madrigal, threnody, requiem and paeon. You can macro Minnie, but I can honestly say I've never really used it much. Be sure to make a cure macro also.

Re: i need some advice on brd??
If you're looking for specific macro example, mine look like this:

Minuet Example:
/so "Valor Minuet" <me>
/wait 6
/equip Ranged "Cornette +1"

The /wait is in there because when you switch gear, you casting animation stops. I used to not use a wait, but I kept thinking that I was being interrupted lol. As stated, your main songs will be Madrigal + Minuet, but I did find Minne useful in the dunes.
