Bard Gear - Leveling

[Rydex]

Hi all...trying to gear up my bard (level 13 now), and recently came into some cash (sold a rare item).

I have 7k to spend on gear. Right now my only weapon is a Jagged Chokidai Spine (9/25).

Suggestions? Not sure if Lambent is what I should be looking at or what...thanks in advance!

instruments, or gear with HP

bards can be really effective naked, so song modifiers are the best thing to spend money on, and they're fairly cheap
