Quick bard question before I dump 1000+ bone chips on her.

[Sicc]

Bard is still level 1. Has a few bags of bone chips but I have bags on alts I need to transfer to her as well.

Need the lambent pieces from Sol A and Lower Guk. Then need to get another bracer, which was pretty easy to get the drops from. Then I need to run the lambent stones back and forth. Still need weapons, too.

I rolled my bard with 5 in STR, 5 in CHA, and 15 in STA. So I still have time to reroll. Would just need to move the bone chips off again, which is no big deal.

What are some good earrings to twink with? Orc fangs?

[Sicc]

Would you suggest mostly dex with some str? All dex? I was under the impression that charisma was very important for bards. Thanks for responding.

[Sicc]

Alright I suppose I'll just stick with 10 dex 15 cha. I realize the importance of lull on bard. Just wanted to make sure the missing 10 points aren't a crazy loss.

STA and STR. The rest of the stats are easy to g eat with gear. It really depends how you want to play your bard though.

[Sicc]

Group support mostly. Pulls, buffs, etc. I don't want to solo much in this game; not on bard.

[Tupakk]

Then STA all he way. More Hp equals more life.

[Arkanjil]

I would also recommend all in sta. Any leftover should go to dex.

lull is not nearly important enough to prioritize with starting stats.

*you can just keep a Crude Stein handy if for some reason you find yourself lulling a lot.

*monks usually insist on pulling anyways, bards need to stay at camp for mana song

*I had to lull 276 times while leveling, and I had to mez 3504 times.

*because you only need to lull on a full spawn, after that the spawns are staggered.

*cha is something like 5% of a lull check, its mostly level and MR.

*shamans, enchanters, and yourself can buff you with more 40 or 50 cha if you really need, more than you could hope to make a difference with in starting stats

Compelling arguments for more survivability. Now I'm leaning towards stamina and dexterity.

I had considered carrying around spare charisma gear around for pulling, like those earrings from unrest, but I believe bards already have so much gear with songs on them, different weapons and instruments, I didn't want to be a walking bank.

I'm probably way overthinking this but I'm glad to have had some input from others. I'll probably reroll my bard in a few days. I have to finish farming the rest of the lambent set and I still gotta find some decent weapons.

I dumped as much STA I could in my woodelf bard.

You get STR + haste from almost all attack songs. Maybe put 5 in STR. A lot of gear has STR so that's why I dumped everying in STA.

If you can land Thurg armor for cheap, especially chest and legs, those give nice stats.
