Thank you all for your informative posts and Nlaar for offering help, much appreciated and makes me happy to see positive players (which seems to be a rare thing on other games these days).

The really amazing thing is we're 10x nicer in game than on these boards, so you're way ahead of the game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Best place for a Bard 4-10 is Blackburrow. Kill Gnolls for fangs, turn them in to the lady in the Halas Warrior Guild. Each fang will net you a couple of blues and 5 GP plus an item, usually a lantern or food which you can also sell. You can amass a tidy sum by 8 or so. Only drawback is your Lull song is sold in GFAY.

He could just do Crushbone/orcs in gfay from 4-10 instead, and get CB belts which can be sold for a plat each or turned in for xp and 5g in patchwork items...and be right next to the Gfay bard song vendors =)

Honestly, I always found CB belts/pads faster xp than Gnoll fangs, and CB more profitable and fun than BB...

I like this idea. Just started up a bard myself and have always done the Qeynos/Freeport areas. Haven't played around in CB before, I think I might give it a shot too.

I almost wish I had started in freeport - the orc quest for gfay rewards small raw hide leather items and most drops are for small cloth. This has probably added a bit to my frustration. A kind person gave me a few pieces of ringmail and some medium raw hide and I think that helped some. Once I can start making some money and get a decent weapon I will probably be doing better. Self-haste at level 7!

Cyph,

Send me a PM. I am also going to be a bard (once i get my crashing issues resolved). Without sounding too arrogant...although bards can be that way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.], I was one of the best pulling and twisting bards on Tunare back in the day.

I can give you lots of tips on how to enjoy the best class I ever found in any MMORPG.

And don't worry about soloing, everyone should WANT a bard in their group. Just the opinion of someone who could pull off a 9 song twist.
