Upgrade Choices - 59 Bard

[Rodeojones1979]

Hey, Team,

I am nearing 60 with my Bard and I’m deeply considering upgrade choices. With my recent surge in leveling has come a bit of coin. I’ve mapped out my current gear and potential upgrades on a spreadsheet for you to view and edit.

A couple notes: One, while I have talented friends, I am not currently in a raiding guild and for the purpose of this exercise, I am assuming I won’t be for awhile. So please don’t suggest no drop raid items. Two, right now I am only considering items that cost 25K or less or can be feasibly quested. No 200K legacy items right now. It takes me weeks - to - months to generate this kind of coin. The one exception is Fungi Tunic. If someone suggests I save every coin for weeks to buy a Fungi and provides a good reason, I will accept that, especially since I may roll another melee toon soon. Three, I know that conventional wisdom is that I should ignore all other upgrades until I have the best instruments possible. I accept that suggestion and if that’s what you think, just say so here. Four, I have not populated this spreadsheet with Thurg armor and I probably should.

I have copied this spreadsheet and have a protected version, so please mark it up or just make your suggestions here. Basically provide me any insight you can about how I should move forward. Thank you so much for your input!
