I’m new to project 99 but played classic eq as a teenager. I recently created a Bard as my first character because i read they were easy to solo. I played a warrior, paladin and rogue in classic eq so i am brand new to playing a bard. I have gotten to lvl 9 but am really struggling to even kill blues at this point. Im trying to kite but am clearly doing something wrong. Does anyone have advice where i can hunt mobs i can kill, tips for making cash to gear up, advice on how to kite? Any advice would be super helpful. Dying over and over is so discouraging lol

I don't play a bard but I looked over your songs up to level 9 and you only have 1 point blank aoe dot
When bards talk about kiting, they are meaning running in a circle with 1 or more (usually more) mobs behind chasing them, just barely in range for those point blank aoe dots to hit them. The way this is done is the bard uses runspeed song to stay ahead of mobs while he gathers up a bunch, then twists runspeed along with a few dots to slowly whittle them down as they chase him in circles just in range for the dots. This is called swarming, and the sky is the limit for how many mobs you can kill at once this way and therefore how much xp/hour you can make
I think eventually bards get a fear and snare, so with the combination of these you could fear the mob and dps it with things that don't break fear while it runs away snared
That's about all I know about for "kiting". They can also charm stuff and have it kill other stuff later in levels
edit: If you lack the tools to do these things at your level, just try to kill some of the lowest possible level stuff u can find that still gives exp. This way you will take far less and deal far more damage than you would to a mob closer to your level. It doesn't have to be the absolute lowest, just on the lower side
