Bards, Checking In!

[Bulwyf]

I know you need 30 archer for this but I thought the sub job was 15 conjurer. Now I'm seeing people saying it is 15 pugilist or 15 lancer?? What is the correct sub job to unlock bard??

[Oxhine]

Pugilist confirmed.

[Adera]

Pugilist.

[Cathala]

now a bard i love the class so far

[Vexar]

30 Archer, 15 Pugilist. It's part of your 30 Archer quest.

Hey guys before I left the house I hit 15 pugilist and I am already a level 33 ranger and I am currently on the level 24 archer guild quest line.....how much farther do I have
to reach the Bard dialogue? And which NPC gives you the Bard option? Do I have to do the Pugilist 15 level quest because I stopped there? I am glad that lots of people like the
Bard but some don't and eventhough I want to be a bard I think the armor clothing is hideous as a matter of fact none of the light armor appeals too me and it saddens me that the
options are so few for each class hopefully that changes. anyways thanks for any replies.

Nevermind Vexar answered the question.

Beware using Foe's Requiem while soloing... it will aggro everything around you.

Not just solo, beware using it in dungeons outside of the boss fights. It will agro mobs through walls, floors, ceilings, everything.

Fellow future Bard checking in and boy do I have some stuff to say!

Well Darkov thats good in my situation, lately I've been doing dungeons without tanks. I've essentially become the tank, take 2 other dps classes with me and a healer, sometimes we're all dps classes and we have an arcanists who uses its pet as a tank and heals me while I kite the other mobs. I just love my utility as an Archer so far and I have a feeling I'll have even more fun being a bard. Just DPs doesnt define what you can really do with some ingenuity and skill.

On a separate note somewhat though, What level should I train my pugilist to. I mean eventually I want it to be 50 as well as my archer side but are the higher level Puglist skills useful to a bard? How does the whole leveling process even work once you become a bard?

[Rosencranz]

Mantra from monk and Blood for Blood from Dragoon should be useful.

I usually love my simple set of skills:

Internal release
Featherfoot
Second wind

Those 3 save you a lot of trouble.

True is that blood for blood give you a ton of damages with raging strike, and Mantra ease the job for the healer, but usually you can go nice with those. °.°/
