Help with starting a bard

[PurelyElf]

Don't listen to these fefs about agnostic, it's so boring!

I was tunare bard on live, and I could make it into Neriak just fine (while avoiding some areas). It doesn't matter so much, be something fun.

Going from the advice in this thread, I myself, made an agnostic half elf bard and started in qeynos. While only level 2 and gaining, Ive been collecting stacks of bone chips, then running into Qeynos Hills and selling them!? I think I'm on the right track!

As far as getting a full set of banded, what does a set go for on this server? And where would u recommend picking up a good wep??

Please and thanks!!!

Im a veeshan bard and with DE mask illusion I can bank or hang out in neriak, oggok, grobb etc.. I am kos, however, at the OT fort.. but that doesn't stop me from banking there.

I'm interested in knowing what consequences there are in kunark raiding for a veeshan worshipping bard. I haven't noticed any. Also I forgot to con any of the kunark dragons before I killed them to see if I was kos, so maybe that's it? /shrug. I know killing in mistmoore many ages ago gave me alot of RoS faction hits.

I am a bristlebane bard and I have had no trouble in OT, haven't tried all the others though.

There is probably a good bard kiting guide somewhere on the forums if you saerch for it

Get full banded, 55ac 5hp rings, a hand drum and some other cheap vendor instruments, and you can start kiting as early as 5/6, although it doesn't get seriously effective until low teens, and particularly at 18.

The reason is chords of dissonance has a relatively small range, whereas your level 18 pbaoe dot has a fairly large one.

Crap! I just made a half elf bard that is agnostic. But I started him in Freeport. Should I trash and go quenyos? I've only gotten to level 4.

Just boat to Faydwer and hit up GFay and Crushbone. Once you get outside the newbie zone, the Qeynos area is all boring solo-ers and hyper-competitive twinks.

madcowmisha,
A full suit of banded armor is 90ac, most smiths charge
1pp per ac.

FP area has bored level 50+ buffing classes idling in the tunnel, which is just as good if not better than starting in Qeynos. Plus progression is a bit easier, since west commons and oasis and such will get you into your high teens easily, never that far away from a your bind spot.

You'll do fine there.. once you hit 18, start heading to EK to start your AoE training glory days on gorge hounds and the like..

Does Veeshan faction affect Velious dragon faction? I only worshipped Inny on live.

I was under the impression that Veeshan-worshipping bards started at dubious faction in Skyshrine, while every other race/class/deity combo begins kos there. Could be wrong about that though.
