What item should I buy next for my bard?

[Tobius]

As you may or may not remember, I made a post a while back about levelling a bard to match my 56/57 warrior to duo forager cycle with my brother.

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=296925

Heated debate ensued about wether that combo was possible, what level, and how to physically do it.

I think the only way it will be possible is to charm spam the nameds and have the warrior run inteference if shit goes down. Level 39 at absolute minimum, may go to 40-46-52 depending on how owned we get.

With this goal specifically in mind, what gear should I be after, there's obviously bard gearing guides, but I'm talking specifically about this camp.

I tried to camp that goblin invis animal ring and the camp made me want to kill myself.... How important/usefull would that be outside of easier kills for exp? (Becuase we'd be after loot) What about that Tishans orb thing, is it really that good?

Below is the garbage I currently have. What would benefit most? Cha gear? better swords?

I would suggest a Kobold Jester's Crown for your head (600pp)

Also your BP needs a good hard look, even a tree weave would be a very cheap (250p) substantial upgrade. PSC is good for a bit more cash (1800pp).

Could snag something cheap for your neck with stats....

Would the Kobold crown be good for charming? is that why you reccomend?
What does PSC stand for, other than Palestine Solidarity Campaign....

This advice is a troll...good bards tell me CHA doesn't do anything for you...it doesn't seem to affect resist rates on the lull song or resist rate on your fixed duration charm song...

It doesn't affect the resist rate of lull but it does affect the critical resist rate, whether the bard gets aggro'd on a resist or not like it does for Enchanter's. Unlike Enchanter's it has no impact on charm though, imo.

Edit: Didnt read page 2 before replying, I think a 52 bard/57 warrior could definitely do the cycle, just not a 39 bard/57 warrior. At that level should probably hit the wiz with dispel song a couple times or a pumice stone when you pull him cause he will have the extra +20 MR from Arch Shielding unless you pull him the second he spawns.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Breath_of_Harmony it had a great ratio.

[Legidias]

Pure tank stats / resists to try and not die from the immediate nukes from Harbinger.

Cha = no effect on charms (come at me, misinformed bardbros)

[Jimjam]

Phase Spider Carapace.

In my opinion, and feel free to chime in, other bards:

Resists, HP, AC. Pretty much in that order (possibly HP, resists, AC).

You want any gear that upgrades these stats. Everything else is just a bonus. I would not bother with CHA unless you plan to do a lot of lull pulling.

Breath of Harmony is also a cost effective upgrade, as it has a decent ratio, and you get a free song in your twist.

As a former master bard on Zebuxoruk and Sullon Zek, I heartily second Resists > HP > AC > Dex as your primary statistics.
