I've got a 36 bard (Vulpine) on Green and I've been having a blast. I've been able to pull off a few AOE pulls successfully, but I have way more fun in a group, especially pulling. Pulling five gnolls in splitpaw and juggling multiples with charm just outside of camp while the party grinds them down one by one is the funnest experience I've had in this game so far and it feels slightly overpowered.

I've been able to get away with this method of charming with little to no downtime, since I'll usually spam health and mana regen during the pulls to keep the group topped up. I've been told that higher level charm costs mana, though, and I don't really understand how that works.

The wiki says that my next charm spell at level 39 ( https://wiki.project1999.com/Solon%27s_Bewitching_Bravura ) costs 20 mana.

Since I only have one point in meditate, how am I supposed to regen mana in between charms? What kind of impact can I expect this to have on my downtime?

Thanks in advance!

Bards regen 1 mana point every 6s and thats it. Clarity doesnt work on bards, mana song also doesnt works.

Do I need to be sitting to regen that one nana? Am i right in assuming I'll have a maximum of 100 mana forever?

You do not need to sit to regen the 1 mana per tick. Charm and one of your random nukes cost mana.

Nah, once you lose your nana they are gone forever. RIP.

Worn FT does affect bards. Remeber that when a caster flames you for winning a CT Brain someday.

This is true, but a 36 Bard will not be getting an FT item anytime soon :) As you can see from just the FT1 list (https://wiki.project1999.com/Flowing_Thought), most of the items are for casters only, and they mostly drop off very high-end raid mobs.

Not a bard, so I might be missing an item, but I think the Shawl would be the easiest item for a 36 to pursue ... but even they'd need at least ten levels to do the quest (and, at the very least, the assistance of a 60 druid to get the tooth from SG) ... and they would need to spend a lot of time on tradeskills: https://wiki.project1999.com/Coldain_Prayer_Shawl_Quests

I did say. Someday.

The Eye of Cazic, CT Brain, 7th Shawl and Buckler of Insight are the only 4 Bard wearable FT Items available on P99.
