Will Bard wear leather or cloth gear.

[Coglin]

So I just finished GSM and MIN today. I plan on having Bard as my main, but I am trying to decide if Weaver or Leatherworker will be the primary DoH for my gear........

I am curious about what the population believes would be the way to go and why?

[Estellios]

Same as archer I'd imagine.

As for the DoH choice, with Leatherworker you can make Head/Body/Hands/Legs/Feet for archer (with varying usefulness in each slot, of course), whereas Weaver can only make Head/Body/Legs. Since you also have DoM's Weaver might be more useful to have.

It will wear whatever archer wears. It's compatible with archer, after all.

Yeah, my first thought is that it would be comparable to ARC gear now, but you never know.

I have also thought about the fact that I have the DoMs too, but I will be leveling the other classes soon as well.

Cloth... look at all the concepts and the Bard npc.

Thats actually what spurred my initial question.

personally I would love to wear a leather hunters cowl. but the Def/stats/materia meldability is out of balance on the hooded gear. I would even take a maroon/forest green cloth hooded garb. I just like the hooded garb and I can see my bard wearing dark reds and greeds with gold or silver trim in that flamboyent mintrel fashion
