Buy vendor horn + drum + lute. Ding 47. Buy MM drum, gypsy lute. Loot planar rots. Buy 5AC/55HP rings. Buy BoH & guardians mace. You are now in the top 20% of geared bards and you've spent <10k.
If you want to group to level up: buy sionatche's partisan and some other cheap weapon (Sainy's Singing Dagger, Harmonic Dagger, Crystalline Short Sword, Symphonic Saber, Jade Mace, Guardians Mace, Melodious Truncheon). Save for BIS pre-epic combo: Breath of Harmony & Guardians Mace. Buy MM drum and gypsy lute (~100p/each). Get 5/55 rings. Quest lambent. Bards are NOT a gear dependant class.
