Level up to low/mid 50s, you're going to spend more time on CR, zoning adds and generally wasting time than farming it at 39.
Ah ok, that's good feedback, thanks, hate levelling, but if it's going to be a huge pita/impossible than yeah...

Specifically hunter/forager? Silken cat-fur girdles, ceremonial iksar chestplates and iksar hide masks. All three can be 'bard gear' and sell for the plat that we all crave.
Ah no, perhaps this is the confusion, I meant "what gear that I could buy would help us to be able to beat that camp?" Like something good for indoor zones or raids is useless, instruments that don't help charm fear are useless etc etc.

Get your brother to make a pet class (enchanter/mage/necro) and PL it with your bard until 29. Use that to farm Gazughi rings. I say 29 so you can kill wandering soothsayers easily. Farming it as a meleer is taking an already grueling camp and turning it into self flagellation. Gazughi ring is only important if you plan on charm kiting a bunch. If not its just a soulless plat camp for low levels. Once you can kill felwithe guards/giants you're better off doing those than gobo rings (camped over a dozen rings).
Yeah he's deffo not playing a grind, I'm only 80% sure I'll be able to say "hey come do some forager like the old days, I've levelled Cen enough for us to do it".

Bard charms to exp and might be charming to attempt forager cycle so I wanted ring. Plus I keep impulsivly camping it on my main between raids, wasting loads of time, getting mad about it, throwing a tantrum when I stay up till 4am and it doesn't drop and threatning to quit EQ. I partly want to buy one to put an end to the whole thing. It's like scratching a scratch card each time it pops. Weirdly addicting but mostly frustrating and dissapointing. Real Evercrack hours. I'm probably going to buy it with his hill giant money just to be done with it.

Orb of Tishan isn't 'really that good' here because it doesn't stack with an Enchanter's tash like it did during classic on Live. They might have fixed this since Velious but I doubt it. Sadly a lot of the fun tricks of being a bard don't work on this server.
Ah ok, I get a resist debuff would be good, but I don't see fighting stuff like giants and forager cycle till it procs to be safe. As long as I'm not on casters I'd rather just re-sing resisted songs than get beat up.
