What item should I buy next for my bard?

Heated debate ensued about wether that combo was possible, what level, and how to physically do it.

I think the only way it will be possible is to charm spam the nameds and have the warrior run inteference if shit goes down. Level 39 at absolute minimum, may go to 40-46-52 depending on how owned we get.

With this goal specifically in mind, what gear should I be after, there's obviously bard gearing guides, but I'm talking specifically about this camp.

and yeah goblin ring confirmed worst camp in the game.

I tried to camp that goblin invis animal ring and the camp made me want to kill myself.... How important/usefull would that be outside of easier kills for exp? (Becuase we'd be after loot) What about that Tishans orb thing, is it really that good?

Below is the garbage I currently have. What would benefit most? Cha gear? better swords?

Said it before your gear isn't going to matter, you're not going to be able to land a charm on a level 50 wizard at 39. You could spam snare for aggro, which probably wont land, on the 45 that drops iksar bp and the 49 that drops girdle but you're basically giving yourself 0 chance at the most expensive item that drops without the levels.

You have the fastest leveling class in the game, use it.

If you're doing that camp as a 56/57 bard, disregard all other gear and focus on getting good instruments. Fear kiting + dots is hands down the fastest way to kill foragers, especially with a warrior adding dps. Harbinger's nukes don't matter much if he's feared - just throw on some cold resist gear and elemental rhythyms for the initial pull. Take this from someone who has gotten over 10 masks & BPs each from this camp.

Charm kill only if you have to get rid of an add.

[indiscriminate_hater]

Oh I see your level now. 39 is still possible but you will have to send in a charmed mob to take the initial hit from Harbinger. It will be a pain in the ass to kill the placeholders and you will die a grisly death from caster adds. Just level up to 54 and do it then.

My main questions would be:

a) Why isn't your brother leveling the bard?
b) Why are you leveling your brothers bard?

He doesn't play 99 but could be enticed to join me on duoing the forager camp now and then because we had fun doing that on live years after it was relevant.

It's partly for plat and partly because I want one mask for the bard and one bp for the warrior (maybe a body for the bard but. probably not.

I hate exping, so all the level to 60 first posts are missing the point, wouldn't benefit as much from the items anyway when already high level.

Highest bard will go is 52 because I want a dragon alt and I don't see me levelling a 3rd char to 52+ ever.

Hp/Resist gear and instruments should prime over all else

Are you doing this for the sole reason of trying it at level 39? I recall your post regarding the H/F Cycle, but did not really understand what you were getting at. I mean, sure, you can make some platty-plat, but to what end?

The swamp can be an isolated existence. The horizon is nigh a riffle of wind-blown saw palmetto, stirring as if not to give a damn in a Baton Rouge Crawfish Boiawl.

A shit load of money and mildly fun way of doing it. Two items that would then be fun to use levelling the rest of the way, I don't see the point getting sick gear after 60, at that point you are only logging on to help your guild and stuff and maybe get your epic, which is a one time thing.

Dot it, snare it, haste ur brother...profit. It's so simple. You could do this just instruments, and ur bro beating the hell out of it.

You don't think it'd blast us to death with ice comet? Everyone else is doom saying about that.
