I like it.

Might want to mention that Military Harp helps land Finale on HNMs, Gods, ect. (in my experience and I'm not arguing that), but that if you're not doing that it is worthless.
What about end-game Bards doing HNMs and stuff? Your opinion might be nice there, though I see high variability in what people prefer.

Personally for me, Military Harp is the biggest waste of money for a Bard. In my experience any Wind instrument will help Finale land more consistantly than Military harp. And yeah now that I notice I am missing a HNM section; I'll get to work on that although Sozsensur's guide seems pretty fitting for endgame help.

Like I said, preferences are variable. I haven't seen Sozsensur's guide, so I'll check it out. But, like I mentioned, I don't have uber-gear yet or full merits and I find that Military helps a lot. But that's only my experience and it will probably change when I acquire more this break.

Added a small Merit point section to the guide and fix the funny roman numerals I had.

Wow, nice guide, its good that someone made a more updated guide, seeing as how mine is over 2 years old now, and I haven't updated it since Banigaru no longer exists. Actually funny enough i just leveled brd again, well currently at 73 lol. But it's very nice to have updated gear selections seeing as much has changed. Read both and get a very thourough understanding of the job, one thing i've certianly noticed is many more having brd leveled nowadays, i miss the good old days of seeing only 20-30 on the whole server at one time heh, will always be my favourite job for obvious reasons. Good luck to all ya'll get out there and level

Small correction: the effect of Elegy from a player(currently) caps at 50%. The 2% addition offered by Horn +1 is only applicable during Battlefield Elegy, not Carnage.

[Antithesis]

-Added the missing Cobra Cloche info.
-Fixed Storm Fife picture.

Those pix are huge like freaking XBOX.

[Tykkaru]

So how did it work again?
1 m.acc = 1 singing + 1 wind = 4 chr?

What should I use? Nereid Ring or Balrahn's Ring? +4 m.acc or +3 wind instrument skill?
What should I use? Goliard Clogs or Oracle's Pigaches? +4 chr and +2 m.acc vs +5 wind instrument skill?

[white]Banigaru is totally adorable. And so is Rambus too. <3 <3 <3 <3[/white]

[rambus]

I do not think anyone knows exactly how magic acc works, as for my pics that first one is in the OP

[Kaparu]

Well, passed 300 Skill its theorized to be 1 Skill = .9 Macc. That's the generally accepted conversion.

[Tykkaru]

Will .9 macc = 1 skill then? Does it work the other way around? Because then it'd translated into 1 singing skill and 1 wind instrument?

[Antithesis]

OK Apparently I cant change the topic title to say updated >_>
