playing a little tune for all of you

[Vaprice]

Okay so seriously is there like a place where there's most of the songs for a bard? I'm running all over the place! ITS CARAZAY!

please help me....I have some other questions....for instance: What type of weapon, and what type of armor? Mage or Warrior?

and do most bards ever enter battle? As I can remmeber they get really close to a mob and juist stand there playing a tune ^^ while everyone else is getting killed...jkjjkk xDDDD

please help me!!!!!

1 Auction House.

2 Sword for earlier levels, then get staves and stuff for the stats (I think?) Same for armor, STATS MAN.

3 And no, they don't enter battle, too much running around keeping songs on the mages and melee.

BRDs use whatever they can to boost their stats up and throw alot of Curaga at higher levels whenever they can to save MP and have less downtime. Never melee however.

It's optional and unnecessary, but my friend said that it's okay to melee awhile until around the time you get Mage's Ballad II.

[Lionx]

I still dont feel its worth the TP you give to the mob (which is the tp you gain per hit +3....so if you gain 6 TP per hit the mob gains 9TP). You do piddy dmg and give TP to the mob =/ If theres AoE thats even more a no to me. I stopped doing it once out of Valkurm where everyone can fool around.

[Misfit]

I agree with the above post.

Melee bards... tch! >_>
