Thanks Millers, this is the info I was looking for. Not sure the exact timeline that we will get these songs but good to actually see evidence that these songs were not actually in game at launch. I was under the impression that we got 1 song per level at launch.

Seems a bit lame that bards currently can't charm mobs levels > 37.

It is very lame and it is because of bullshit classic rules that only qualify for the things they want classic.

Yep and using the way back machine the oldest posts are unviewable and I’m almost certain if we could access this data we’d see the level 39 bard song is a classic song not a Kunark song like wtf lol. Bards got one song per level in classic duh.

From a GZ Q&A back in Nov 99:

Q: Why are there no Bard Songs for Bard levels 39, 45, 47 and 49?

A: When we were finishing up the Bard class, we wanted to leave some room for expansion during the evolution of EverQuest. Because Bards get one song per level, if we had given them all fifty songs there would have been no room for expansion - aside from taking away older songs.

Expect to see new songs coming soon. These songs will not be anything that radically redefines the Bard class - but they will be additions that help keep the Bard interesting at high levels.


cheers,

Astuce

I still believe these songs dropped right before Kunark not after and I will find proof eventually.... but the 3 months of only 5 mana cast would be dope regardless. Kunark didn’t release til like March, 2000? I suspect bards got the new songs December/Jan of 1999/2000.

Since you do a lot of good work for bards and classic EQ in general, I decided to save you to the research on this.

Using snapshots of the front page of the concert hall with the wayback machine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20001207...per/index.html

We can determine precisely when the songs were released:

Level 47 Song: Niv's Melody of Preservation is February 18th, 2000.
Level 39 Song: Solon's Bewitching Bravura is April 9th, 2000.
Level 45 Song: Jonthan's Provocation is also April 9th, 2000.
KUNARK launches on April 24th, 2000.
Level 49 Song: Shield of Songs is November 13th, 2000.
VELIOUS launches on December 5th, 2000.

cheers,

Astuce

Thanks Astuce - odd that the source I cited has a mana cost change for the song a month prior to your source release of song.

BARD SPELL DETAILS
Name: Solon's Bewitching Bravura
Level: 39
Mana: 20
Class: Wind, not required
Vendor(s):
Kelethin Bard Guild
Approx Spell Cost: Unknown
Researchable: No
Type: Single Target Random Duration Charm
Max Duration: 18 seconds
Casting Time: Instant
Recast Time: Instant
Actual Effects: Target: Charm (Max Level 55)
Description: This song will charm the target mob and make it your pet. This song has a maximum duration of 3 ticks, or 18 seconds, much like Solon's Song of the Sirens.
On 3/13/00, the mana cost was increased from 5 to 20.

Be sure to fix/update the wiki appropriately if it's wrong. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
