Bard

Summary

After a life of plucking their bows, many Archers feel the itch to pluck strings of a different kind. The Bards of the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom are the right choice for the idealists who wish to change the world with their poetry and music. The voice of a Bard is laden with magical harmonies, singing hymns that invoke the ancient Gods of Asgard to instill fear in the hearts of his enemies and inspire his comrades to victory with songs of eternal youth and glorious charges.

Bards can deal damage with bows and instruments, deal magical damage with instruments and even boost and heal their party.

To become a bard:

• Reach Archer job level 50.
• Go to Comodo.
• Head to the main stage in the center of the town.
• Talk to the Bard Guildmaster to become a bard.
