Best grouping areas for 14bard

[dcbone86]

Not big on soloing but I do it when I can't find a group. What's a good place for a bard? S. Ro dervs are getting a bit slow now.

[Negativ]

Best EXP in the game for that level is Kurns in Field of Bone. Usually a few people on the entrance floor to make a small group.

[Issar]

Always groups in Unrest as well

[Auuken]

What about oasis though??

[Issar]

While I'm not a huge fan of grouping in Oasis, orc hwy is a decent spot. Groups are hit or miss there, but a fairly common.

if yer brand new to the server, find a few pals and go to West Karanas to kill bandits, collect sashes and you can turn them in at queynos for plat to buy some starter gear. Xp starts to go away around lvl 18 though. Should net you around 500 plat tho.

I've got a few k in gear + bank from wheeling and dealing, selling bone chips etc. Luckily at 18 I get the new AOE spell and might do try out soloing again.

A good way to solo and make plat 18+ for a bard (also to learn the kite mechanics) is to aoe kite the 2 sisters on the sister isle till they dont give XP anymore. You can also rope in the other sisters too.. but they dont drop as much plat.

Its a 6 min spawn, and you can kill them about as quickly at that level as about half the other classes, so its not like Overthere aoe kiting or something, but since there are only 2 mobs you can be bad at it and not die, while getting better at it.

The best part is that you can make tons of plat selling their swords that drop everytime to the dwarf on the other side of the island.

You will tank your Tunare faction, but who cares. Seriously I cared and it was pointless to care, its never been a problem.

Anywho, if oyu wanted to solo thats a great way to make plat. youll double your money easily or more, while you xp, so its all gucci

Bard and group - 2 words that do not compute when together.

Eh. I disagree. I was always happy to have one when I played live.

Bards belong in my group with mana song stuck ON, thank you. If they CC like a boss AND mana song AND haste dps AND make jokes then I'll never not try to steal them from other groups.

I have found the burynai burrowers in the pit in FoB are squishy and run at <20% health. Been good xp for me from 13-16. Then you can hit up Kurns for a couple levels too

How long is this list of bards that you actively try to steal?

At earlier levels i'd rather have a pure DPS but later on you can do stuff like mana song + 3x twitch mana, mez and charm while auto attacking, haste, resists, snare, etc. And the HP regen is noticeable too.

I would mostly agree, but I've also been in many groups that had no healer, next best thing is someone who can speed up health regen between pulls. For example last night I was in Befallen with a monk/sk. Worked out great.

Generally people under estimate the bard heal song. Healers always want mana song while most of the time the heal song will give better results for the team. Of course you can combine them while out of combat...

[Ofaelol]

I just did 13-19 in Kurns on an Ogre Shaman. Groups were readily available and often low on healing, so I imagine that a bard would be welcome.

[Swish]

I'd second that, all the times I ever tried to group in Kurn's we were always lacking some kind of healer.
