{{icon|sandy|small}} [[Northern San d'Oria]] (G-8) / {{icon|bastok|small}} [[Bastok Markets]] (I-7) / {{icon|windurst|small}} [[Windurst Walls]] (G-11)

Interested in the Superheroine Stage Show? You can see Mumor in all her splendor in the following locations: 
{{icon|sandy|small}} [[Northern San d'Oria]] (D-8) / {{icon|bastok|small}} [[Bastok Markets]] (G-8) / {{icon|windurst|small}} [[Windurst Walls]] (H-10)

[[File:Starlet_Agent_Set.png|500px|right]]

=== Walkthrough ===
* Speak to the MHMU Moogle in one of the following positions:
:* [[Northern San d'Oria]] (G-8), [[Bastok Markets]] (I-7), [[Windurst Walls]] (G-11)
* Travel to the stage area for that city and wait for the performance to begin.
* When the "fight" starts, target Mumor and alternate using the /cheer motion, /wave motion, & /clap motion emotes to encourage her. Having macros of these can help you alternate these emotes as rapidly as possible. The more emotes all players perform, the faster the fight goes, though it is possible to solo this event.
* When Diva the Moogle says "Keep at it!", stop emoting and target Uka.
* While still targeting Uka, perform the following dances:
:* When Mumor uses "''Shining Summer Samba''", use ''/dance1'' motion.
:* When Mumor uses "''Lovely Miracle Waltz''", use ''/dance2'' motion.
:* When Mumor uses "''Neo Crystal Jig''", use ''/dance3'' motion.
:* When Mumor uses "''Super Crusher Jig''", use ''/dance4'' motion.
:* You will see a message stating that your dancing has been synchronized with Mumor per dance emote if done correctly.
*When Uka reaches ~20% she will snap out of her trance and come back to the aid of Mumor. At this point, you should target Ullegore and perform the previous dance emotes in sync with Mumor.

* When the performance is over, return to the MHMU Moogle around the corner to receive your prize
:* The prize that you receive may be dependent on how many times your dances were synchronized. With no synchronized dances, you will not receive a prize.
:* 15 to 440 fireworks.
:* If the Moogle tells you that your performance makes you the MVP, you will receive a set of either Agent or Starlet armor as long as you synchronized all four of Mumor's Firesday Night Fever dances.

:*Upon receiving your Agent or Starlet armor, redoing the event again with 10+ synced dances will result in the following rewards from the Moogle:
::*[[File:Cipher- Mumor icon.png|link=]] [[Cipher: Mumor|Mumor I]] ([[Trust]], you needn't obtain the above armor to receive this)
::*[[File:Cipher- Mumor II icon.png|link=]] [[Cipher: Mumor II|Mumor II]] ([[Trust]])
:::*If you participate in the show while wearing the full '''Agent''' or '''Starlet''' Armor set, you must recieve all 4 "overflowing with trust" messages during Firesday Night Fever to receive the [[File:Cipher- Mumor II icon.png|link=]]. You can receive [[Cipher: Mumor II|Mumor II]] regardless of whether you are in possession of [[File:Cipher- Mumor icon.png|link=]] [[Cipher: Mumor|Mumor I]]. You will get a short cutscene and the trust spell immediately.
::*[[File:Cosmic Designs icon.png|link=]] [[Cosmic Designs|Copy of cosmic designs]]
:::*Used to craft a [[File:Celestial Globe icon.png|link=]] [[Celestial Globe]] furnishing along with the other two rewards from other Sunbreeze minigames.
::*(KI) [[After-party pass]]
:*If you come into the event late and do not have many synced dances, you may save your current amount for the next showing. Assuming you don't zone which will reset progress.

== Support Your Heroines! ==

After the curtain has closed on the Superheroine Stage Show, Mumor, Uka, and either Foudeel, Bashraf, or Wahboud will appear to sell a variety of items for your perusal! 
Purchasing items between shows results in faster synchronization with Mumor (a message will be displayed in the chat log to that effect).

==The After Party==
Upon receiving your [[After-party pass]] from the "Fantastic Fraulein Mumor's Superheroine Show" you may opt to participate in the after party. Which is a battlefield known as [[Mumor's Encore]].

This fight is intended for [[Item Level]] >117 players (CL117), and [[Trust]]s '''may not be called'''. 
Any reasonably geared DD sub Ninja for shadows should be able to solo this fight as Ullegore's most threatening aspect is his casting of single target tier 5 elemental magic.
*See; [[Mumor's Encore]] for more fight specifics.

The key item is lost upon entering the battlefield. Upon victory 6 [[Ullegore Statue]]s will drop. Return to the MHMU Moogle in one of the following positions to receive a [[Mumor Statue]] as well:
* [[Northern San d'Oria]] (G-8), [[Bastok Markets]] (I-7), [[Windurst Walls]] (G-11)

[[Image:Ullegore Statue.png|200px|frameless|link=]] [[Image:Mumor Statue.png|200px|frameless|link=]]

== Street Shops ==

The Superheroine Stage Show is certainly a spectacle to behold, but why limit yourself to sticking to the sidelines? Several minigames are available for you to enjoy in the three locations listed below. "To the victor go the spoils!" – winning a minigame will reward you with some fabulous prizes only available during the Sunbreeze Festival. Act now, before it's too late! 
Estiliphire [[Southern San d'Oria]] (H-9) / Klass [[Port Bastok]] (K-8) / Rokor-Makor [[Windurst Woods]] (K-12)

All minigames cost 10 gil to play each time. While wearing your Agent or Starlet outfit you will be able to play the game in "hard mode".

Completion of "hard mode" in any of the 3 nation's minigames will reward a player with a [[File:Comet Fragment icon.png|link=]] [[Comet Fragment]] for crafting their [[Celestial Globe]].

[[File:San d'Oria Flag.jpg|25px|link=]] '''San d'Oria''': 
The goal is to spot the difference in each scene. Failing means you must start over.
*Two Elvaan females walking and using emotes. Either their walking speed, turning, or emote will vary.
*Four Elvaan males doing the "/hurray" emote in pairs. One pair will have different weapons.
*Six Tarutarus running towards you in pairs. Select the pair that have different hair colors.
*Two Hume males wearing armor. The camera tilts up, and one of their armor pieces will varies. It may be anything except their leg slot.
*A large group of varied races. Matching poses will nod in pairs and you need to spot the one shaking their head.
*A pair of Tarutarus running past a post to the left and right. Each of the pairs will have one Tarutaru with blonde hair and the one with red hair. When the identical tarutarus are facing each other press enter.

Scenes will cycle back. Normal mode requires 7 differences in a row. Hard mode requires 9.

'''Note:''' Ensure FastCS.lua is not loaded if you use Windower. Otherwise, the scenes will not play at the intended speed and it will make the game more difficult.

[[File:Bastok-Flag.jpg|25px|link=]] '''Bastok''': 
Quick Draw McGraw! You have one minute to shoot as many enemies as possible while avoiding hitting a [[:Category:Pixie|Pixie]]. 
A target will pop up for a brief moment and you will be prompted to "shoot" or "wait" which will skip to the next target. Shooting a pixie will end the game so choose wait to save time and move to the next target.

You must shoot [[:Category:Sabotender|Sabotenders]], [[:Category:Goblin|Goblins]], and [[:Category:Mandragora|Mandragoras]].

Normal requires 20 targets hit while hard mode requires 30.

[[File:Windurst-Flag.jpg|25px|link=]] '''Windurst''': 
It's your lucky day, kupo! That's right, it's time to pick up some chicks! You will have one minute once again in order to move your chocobo left or right in order to collect the baby chocobos. Beware as there are [[:Category:Mandragora|Mandragora]] mixed into this as well. Yes, you guessed it; collecting a [[:Category:Mandragora|Mandragora]] immediately ends the game in failure.

Timing is everything in this game. You will need to get a feel for it, but collecting a chick needs to be done slightly before the line.

Normal requires 20 chicks, and hard mode requires 35.

== Piscine Pursuits ==
As is tradition for the Sunbreeze Festival, the ever popular goldfish scoop will be held once more. Don't let those slippery little buggers get away! Try your hand in the following locations: 
[[West Ronfaure]] (G-10) / [[South Gustaberg]] (E-8) / [[East Sarutabaruta]] (H-8) / [[Rabao]] (F-7)

Obtaining 60 points from goldfish scooping will reward a player with a [[File:Puny Planet Kit icon.png|link=]] [[Puny Planet Kit]] for crafting their [[Celestial Globe]].

NPCs for goldfish scooping may be located in the following locations:
{|style="border: 1px solid #CEDFF2; text-align:center;" width="400px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"

|-
|}

Upon arriving speak with the NPC and choose "I'd like a bowl" to receive a [[File:Goldfish Basket icon.png|25px|link=]] [[Goldfish Basket]]. You must then buy [[File:Super Scoop icon.png|25px|link=]] [[Super Scoop]]s for 100 gil each.
*Equip the basket and the scoop in your ranged and ammo equipment slots and then get into the water to begin scooping for fish either by typing /fish or selecting fish from the menu.

The following equipment assists with scooping and may be purchased from the moogles at the following locations:
[[Northern San d'Oria]] (D-8) / [[Bastok Mines]] (H-8) / [[Windurst Waters]] (G-10) / [[Upper Jeuno]] (G-7)

Goldfish scooping success rate increases:
* [[File:Lord's Yukata icon.png|25px|link=]] [[Lord's Yukata]] ♂
* [[File:Lady's Yukata icon.png|25px|link=]] [[Lady's Yukata]] ♀

Allows you to catch multiple (1~3) [[Tiny Goldfish]] or [[Black Bubble-Eye]] at once:

* [[File:Ominaeshi Yukata icon.png|25px|link=]] [[Ominaeshi Yukata]] ♀

There are optimal times to catch a goldfish after receiving a message. In general players want to simply wait ~2 seconds after receiving a message. Players will receive two messages before a fish escapes.
*"A goldfish approaches!"
*"Hurry, before the goldfish sees you!"

Messages break down per fish in the following manner:

{{Category Page Header

|Image Link=
|Intro Text="'''Vana'Bout''' is a large-scale [[Records of Eminence]] objective designed to be completed together by adventurers on all of the world servers. 
Over the course of the challenge period, each adventurer will receive "plaudits" based on the value of their contribution when completing the special Records of Eminence objective. The total number of plaudits earned by adventurers around the world will be tabulated and if it exceeds the target amount, the challenge shall be considered a success! There will be a special reward campaign added to the usual monthly campaigns as part of the event. 
In addition, personal rewards will be given to those adventurers who really make an effort during the event! The more plaudits you accumulate during the challenge period, the more rewards you can choose from!"
|Secondary Text=
*Your plaudits will be reset each round and do not carry over to the next Vana'Bout installment.
}}
===Eligibility Requirements===
In order to participate, players must satisfy the following:
*Complete the [[Records of Eminence]] Objective [[Records_of_Eminence#Basics|Stepping Into an Ambuscade]] in order to unlock access to Vana'Bout objectives.
==Objectives==
*A note on objectives: Progress towards RoE objectives is personal only. That is, a player will not receive credit for actions taken by other players, such as damage dealt, weapon skills used, or damage taken.
*As of the May 2024 Vana'Bout season, Daily objectives which are completed will roll over to new ones upon the normal daily reset. Objectives which are left incomplete will be rotated to the newest ones if left incomplete for a period of time. If you see an objective listed here but not in your Records of Eminence log, this is the reason why.
* {{Yellow!}}{{Red!}} There may currently be issues the text of certain objectives matching IDs for English players. For example, the '''"Deal 500+ Water Damage (VBD)"''' (for dealing over 500 water damage to foes in any Ambuscade) is currently bugged and is met by doing 500+ ''Lightning'' Damage instead.

|Intro Text="'''Vana'Bout''' is a large-scale [[Records of Eminence]] objective designed to be completed together by adventurers on all of the world servers. 
Over the course of the challenge period, each adventurer will receive "plaudits" based on the value of their contribution when completing the special Records of Eminence objective. The total number of plaudits earned by adventurers around the world will be tabulated and if it exceeds the target amount, the challenge shall be considered a success! There will be a special reward campaign added to the usual monthly campaigns as part of the event. 
In addition, personal rewards will be given to those adventurers who really make an effort during the event! The more plaudits you accumulate during the challenge period, the more rewards you can choose from!"
|Secondary Text=
*Your plaudits will be reset each round and do not carry over to the next Vana'Bout installment.
}}
===Eligibility Requirements===
In order to participate, players must satisfy the following:
*Complete the [[Records of Eminence]] Objective [[Records_of_Eminence#Basics|Stepping Into an Ambuscade]] in order to unlock access to Vana'Bout objectives.
==Objectives==
*A note on objectives: Progress towards RoE objectives is personal only. That is, a player will not receive credit for actions taken by other players, such as damage dealt, weapon skills used, or damage taken.
*As of the May 2024 Vana'Bout season, Daily objectives which are completed will roll over to new ones upon the normal daily reset. Objectives which are left incomplete will be rotated to the newest ones if left incomplete for a period of time. If you see an objective listed here but not in your Records of Eminence log, this is the reason why.
* {{Yellow!}}{{Red!}} There may currently be issues the text of certain objectives matching IDs for English players. For example, the '''"Deal 500+ Water Damage (VBD)"''' (for dealing over 500 water damage to foes in any Ambuscade) is currently bugged and is met by doing 500+ ''Lightning'' Damage instead.

* Talk to [[Udip Ferawoh]] at the [[Marjami Ravine]] [[Frontier Station]]
* Get amnesia 5 times from [[Spinescent Protuberance]]
** Apparently only the [[Marjami Ravine]] ones work.
** Some may be found around (H-10) (go through the tunnel with the Riverscum).
** Alternatively take Bivouac #1 and there is one at (L-12).
** Shell or magic evasion gear may reduce your chances of being afflicted.
* A message will display when you have been afflicted 5 times.
** This is a very finicky quest. If this message does not display, then 1 or more of the amnesia attacks did not count for one reason or another, and you will need to be hit by amnesia some more. See discussion page for more info.
*** With only a [[Bullwhip Belt]] on and no gear/weapons, the amnesia effect is nearly guaranteed to land. Just be careful of the surrounding Velkks, they hit hard when you're naked especially with the belt on.
* Return to [[Udip Ferawoh]] to complete the quest and receive 500 bayld and the [[Restrainment resilience]] key item.

If you do not know the first thing about Bard, I recommend watching [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q4ezDgeUBI Ruaumoko's 42 minute video on YouTube] and then return to this guide.

==Recommended Game Adjustments==
Controversies aside, I recommend the following settings and game adjustments to assist you in your job as a Bard.

===Windower Addons / DAT Swaps===
*[https://github.com/Caradog/XI-View XIView] - This set of icon DAT swaps will change bard song effects to be color coded. You will be able to look at a glance and see what effects your party members have. As an example, we use these icons on the [[Song Potency]] page here on BGWiki.
**Remember, you may need to re-install these files after Version Updates.
*Timers - This addon shows timers on all of your party members. In laggy situations, it can be inaccurate.
*Distance - Useful for making sure AoE songs will land on players. Maximum distance with Horn is 9.9 yalms, displayed as 9.9 with the addon when targeting a party member.
*[https://github.com/Petewilmer/DParty DParty] - See the distance that you are away from your party members. It is shown by the party list.
**Pianissimo is not affected by this addon.
*aecho - A silenced Bard cannot sing or heal
*Gearswap - This addon is needed to properly use Idle/Precast/Midcast sets to their fullest extent. Although it is possible to use gearsets, Gearswap just makes it easier and more reliable for you.
**It is best to start with a LUA somewhere online and replace the gear with yours. Remember to edit the correct file on your computer (Not one on your desktop lol) and //gs reload after making a change. //gs export will help build your sets by exporting what you are currently wearing. Do this for armor with augments especially.
*[https://github.com/KenshiDRK/Addons/tree/master/PartyBuffs PartyBuffs] - Shows buff icons near the party member names. Uses icon swaps if you have XIView installed too.
*Shortcuts - Easily cast spells on players and monsters. Examples include "/silence" "/reraise" "/haste" etc.
**You can add songs to this addon yourself. By default, it does not come with songs in it.

===In-Game Configuration===
*Turn on Config > Misc 3 > Status Icons > Party Icon Display
**The plugin PartyBuffs is basically the same thing.
*Turn on Config > Misc 3 > Status Icons > Timer Display
**Use this to verify your song timers. The timers on yourself are the same timers your melee have. Of course, if you gave yourself a different song this point is moot.

==Merit Points==
{{Merit Icon}}

Below are my recommendations for Merit Point Bard choices.
===Group 1===
[[Lullaby]] Recast - Although this sounds good at first, Lullaby has an overall recast cap that is easily hit with [[Equipment Haste]] and [[Magic Haste]]. Meriting this category does not further reduce the recast time, therefore is not beneficial.

[[Finale]] Recast - Same as above. There is a minimum recast time on [[Finale]] that is easily hit. Meriting this is unnecessary.

[[Minne]] Effect - This is a good choice for 5/5. Minne has seen a huge comeback since [[Odyssey]] has been released. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Minuet]] Effect - Also useful for the higher-level monsters we are fighting now. Typically, DD have two Minuet on them at any time. 5/5 Minuet merits will translate to an extra +10 attack. With Soul Voice, this is +20 attack. It is even more if they have a third Minuet for zerg situations. Because Minuet is almost always sang, these merits will see a better return in the end. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Madrigal]] Effect - I used to recommend this to everybody. With the addition of [[Reforged Empyrean Armor +2]]/+3, accuracy is plentiful and easy to stack and it is safe to skip Madrigal nowadays. If you need to pop a Madrigal on party members for an evasive NM, your DD really sucks if they rely on these +5 additional accuracy on top of the 114 that Blade Madrigal (with Madrigal+9) provides.

Don’t forget that if you are planning on singing a Madrigal for some kind of boss fight, it only costs a mere 15 merits to max this effect from 0, plus another 15 to put them back into Minuet for one night. You will earn 30 merits back before you realize they are missing.

===Group 2===
[[Troubadour]] - This ability increases your casting time by 1.5x, but also doubles the duration of songs. Adding additional upgrade levels to the ability increases song accuracy. I highly recommend maxing this ability to 5/5. This effect gives you an essential Elemental Seal effect on all songs while the ability is active. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Nightingale]] - This ability decreases your song spellcasting and recast times of songs. Maxing this ability to 5/5 grants all your songs a 100% [[Quick Magic]] effect, and it stacks with [[Troubadour]]. This is a necessity to quickly cast songs and rotate parties in end game content and is a necessity to 5/5. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Con Anima]] & [[Con Brio]] - Used to be [[Sirvente]] and [[Dirge]] spells. These new Job Traits are nice as they are calculated in a separate step after [[Damage Taken]], but they are not worth meriting over '''NiTro''' ([[Nightingale]] and [[Troubadour]]). It also means sacrificing your idle head and hand slot to boost these merits with relic pieces, and nobody wants to do that.

==Job Points==
{{Job Point Icon}}

Although you want to max out all categories and attain Master, below are my recommendations on what order to dump your Job Points.

#'''Minuet Effect''' - [[Attack]] +20 per Minuet when maxed. You'll benefit from this bonus during CP parties, so max it first.
#'''Song Accuracy Bonus''' - We are assuming this is the same as [[Magic Accuracy]], just worded differently. No definitive testing has been done, so it is the consensus that this is Magic Accuracy +20.
#'''Requiem Effect''' - DoT +3 per upgrade, for a maximum of an additional +60 DoT per second! This group exponentially raises the DoT of Requiem, turning it from insignificant to a substantial DoT!
#'''Lullaby Duration''' - +20 second duration to [[Lullaby]] when maxed.
#'''Marcato Effect''' - +20 second duration to songs cast when under [[Marcato]] effect. This stacks with all Song+ gear as well as other Job Point categories.
#'''Clarion Call Effect''' - +40 second duration to songs when the ability is active. Greatly extends the duration to Soul Voice songs, as the abilities are generally paired together.
#'''Minne Effect''' - [[Defense]] +20 per [[Minne]] used when maxed.
#'''Tenuto Effect''' - Tenuto, albeit useful, is not as important as maxing as other categories first.
#'''Pianissimo Effect''' - Adds Fast Cast when Pianissimo is active. We max out our Fast Cast in our Precast sets, so this is irrelevant.
#'''Soul Voice Effect''' - Same as above.

==Magic Skill==
Bard has three types of Magic Skills:
*[[Singing Skill]]
*[[Wind Skill]]
*[[String Skill]]
You might be thinking, nobody sings without an instrument. This is true. Singing Skill is combined with either Wind Skill if you are using a Wind instrument, or with String skill if using a string instrument. The combined total skill of the two is what is used in calculating song potency and song offensive accuracy. String skill has a direct effect on the total radius of AoE offensive and defensive songs.

The highest demand song is [[Honor March]] which caps at 900 combined skill. With Job Points it is very easy to reach this, and we do not have to make any gear considerations if you are master. This guide assumes you are. We go further into the great "Skill vs Macc vs CHR" debate later in the debuff sets section.

===Skillup===
If you are under capped once you hit 99, which you probably will be, there are a easy ways to skillup your three bard skills.

Head to [[Ceizak Battlegrounds]] after getting [[Ionis]]. Find the [[Bight Uragnite]]s on any of the beaches. Equip the type of instrument you need to skill up, and spam your [[Threnody]] songs on the monster. You can rotate between the elements instead of wait for the recast of a single one. Keep the monster slept to avoid any danger of damage. They will not wake up since Threnody does not deal damage. Offensive spells have much quicker skill gains than defensive songs, while also having a much shorter casting time. Note you can also find them in the less popular [[Yahse Hunting Grounds]] if there are none available in Ceizak.

Alternately, [[Eschan Hpemde]] in [[Escha - Ru'Aun]] are good skillup targets. These mobs are [[Aggressive#Passive Aggressive|Passive Aggressive]] where they will aggro players but as long as they do not receive damage they will not attack. Use eschan portal #9 to find these monsters.

Be sure to also look at the [[Skill_Increase_Rate#Methods_of_increasing_the_rate_of_magic_skill_gains|Skill Increase Rate]] page for other easy bonuses to snag. These effects all generally stack on each other.

==[[Master Level]]s==
Master Levels for Bard are beneficial in a couple ways.

*First and foremost, [[Curaga III]] is an enormous boost to our curing capabilities. A well geared and knowledgeable Bard is capable of main curing an [[Odyssey]] segment farming run now. Depending on your party setup, [[White Mage]] is almost a full time sub job now for support situations.
*Extra string skill allows us to hit the next tier of [[Horde Lullaby II]] for one extra yalm AOE range. This does not affect [[Horde Lullaby]], as Bard easily caps that range without any gear. See the [[Lullaby]] section in this guide for details.
*Extra magical skill is also wonderful for song accuracy situations in high end content such as [[Sortie]] basement bosses.
*[[Dagger]] and [[Sword]] skills, as well as overall stat increases are great for damage dealing situations.
*Stat and skill increases help with a defensive aspect.

==Songs==
Rather than repeating almost all the information already available on the wiki, please review the [[Song Potency]] page for all the information you need on song strength.

By clicking on a song surname, such as [[Minuet]], you'll be able to see the items and equipment that enhances those songs. All those details are mentioned later too.

As a new bard, you will want to pick up one of the following instruments while working towards your [[Daurdabla]]. Both options give an additional song.

*[[Terpander]]
*[[Blurred Harp]]/+1 – Be aware that these cannot be equipped until you are [[Superior Level]] 2. This is attained after you have allocated 100 total Job Points into [[Bard]].

===Additional Songs Explanation===
There are a few important notes to remember before we get into this.
*[[Clarion Call]] songs always take the '''third song slot'''. Instruments that grant additional songs always take the '''fourth and fifth song slots''', unless [[Clarion Call]] is not active. In that case, they take the '''third and fourth song slots'''.
**The '''purpose of dummy songs''' is that you must apply additional songs with the instrument that ''grants such ability''. Besides the [[Miracle Cheer]], the instruments that provide such songs do not also provide potency to songs. This is where the term "dummy songs" come from, since they are just "placeholders". They are overwritten with full strength songs.
***You only need to sing these "dummy songs" if the party member lost one in some way. Death, dispel, worn off naturally, zoned, etc. Remember that this only applies to that party member. If everyone else has 4 songs, there's no reason to give dummies to everyone. [[Pianissimo]] these back up individually.
**The term "Slot" used in this guide is only for mindset purposes when ''applying songs''. Example: If your "second slot" song is dispelled on a character when they had five songs applied, you cannot simply use [[Daurdabla]] to put it back up since it was your fourth slot song. This situation will overwrite your least duration song. You must have the [[Clarion Call]] effect active to reapply a fifth song (in your "third song slot").
*Songs are not always the same length after applying your midcast set. This is because some songs have more “Song+” than others. Also remember that if you are Job Master, [[Marcato]] also gives duration to whatever song you pair up with it. Usually it is [[Honor March]], so it ends up being naturally a longer duration.
*When you sing a song on a party member who already has their maximum number of songs (regardless of instrument), the song that has the LOWEST duration is always overwritten.
**The one exception to this is if you re-sing a song that is already on that player. In this case, that song is then overwritten because a player cannot have two of the same buff on them. This is regardless of the effect’s remaining duration on that player, or the potency that you are re-singing the song in. '''You will not receive a “has no effect” message''' when you overwrite a song like this.
*Finally, '''do not rely on the Timers plugin for overwriting songs'''. I have had many situations where the plugin timer is incorrect because it did not accurately pick up the gear you were wearing. This is even worse in laggy areas like [[Odyssey]]. The in-game timers feature is much more reliable even though it does not show seconds remaining. Be sure to turn it on in your settings. Even though you will not be able to judge which songs will be overwritten with this plugin, you will at least know full duration songs were put up on your DD since they are usually being sung.
I will create a hypothetical situation to demonstrate how to properly apply a set of 5 songs on your DD, 5 on support, and 5 on your tank.
*Step 1: create "dummies", because we do not have any songs up right now. Sing in any order: Victory March, Honor March, Minuet IV, Minuet V, Knight's Minne V.
**The goal is to get the maximum number of songs you can sing onto your entire party. We also do not want our dummy songs to be stupid. Songs like Paeon and/or Goblin Govotte are pointless. We want to sing useful songs so melee can begin fighting instead of standing around. A 0 potency [[Valor Minuet V]] still grants 124 Attack. It is hard to argue that a 6/tick Paeon is better than that.
**This is where I tell you that your lua should have a toggle to equip either your multi-song instrument or full-strength instruments, while skipping your midcast set. Manually controlling this is less messy as well.
*Step 2: Use [[Nightingale]] + [[Troubadour]]. Sing in this order so your DDs are all buffed first and will have their maximum damage potential: Minuet IV > Minuet V > Minne V > Victory March > Marcato + Honor March.
**Because your songs are typically the same length (if you listen to my advice later in this guide and do not use [[Brioso Slippers +3]] for [[Madrigal]]/[[Prelude]]), we want to sing the songs that we want to overwrite first. This is [[Minuet]] since mages do not need it, and tanks do not usually care about it. By the time you sing all 5 songs on your DD, [[Minuet]] will have the lowest timer by a few seconds compared to the rest.
*Step 3: [[Pianissimo]] Minne IV > [[Pianissimo]] Ballad III on your tank.
**Tank is next in this step. Both songs should overwrite both Minuets on the tank. They will end up with Minne x2, March x2, and Ballad.
*Step 4: [[Pianissimo]] Ballad II > [[Pianissimo]] Ballad III on your supports, repeat or replace these songs with others if needed/requested, such as Etudes.
**Support will end up with March x2, Minne x1, and Ballad x2
**If you are playing a support/healer role rather than offensive role, you may be able to hit just the support and yourself without having to use [[Pianissimo]] in this step. That way you will also receive Ballads.
In situations where a song is dispelled from a party member:
*Step 1: Hit your multi song instrument toggle.
*Step 2: [[Pianissimo]] then Re-sing the song that was dispelled on that person.
*Step 3: Hit your multi song instrument toggle. (You will then be singing with your potency gear/instrument)
*Step 4: [[Pianissimo]] then Re-sing the song that was dispelled on that person. You may have a short recast timer, but it will be negligible if you keep your fast cast gear on for Step 3.

==Job Abilities==
[[Pianissimo]] - This ability allows you to cast a song on a single target. Since all Bard songs are now AoE, this ability lets you easily cast on a single party member instead of isolating them from the group to cast an AoE song. The recast is only 5 seconds, so you can use this ability any time.

[[Tenuto]] - This ability allows you to control what songs always stay on yourself. It is best used with songs such as [[Ballad]] to keep your MP high in main healing situations. The recast is 5 seconds, so again you can use this any time. It is best used before singing songs on other players.

[[Clarion Call]] - Adds an additional song effect. This ability '''always takes the third song slot'''. Keep this in mind when pairing it with [[Daurdabla]] and other multi song effect instruments. These instruments will always take the 4th and/or 5th slots when you have [[Clarion Call]] active. Additionally, keep in mind that it is possible to keep your Clarion Call song on party members indefinitely. After you activate the ability and sing, keep the song active by not letting it wear off. You can then simply continue to overwrite the song until it wears off, the song is dispelled, the player is KO'd, or they change zones.

[[Soul Voice]] - Our ability that doubles song effects. It stacks with any type of "Song+" equipment and Merits.

===Job Ability Enhancement Equipment===
The following three pieces of gear are incredibly nice to have. They offer extensions on the amount of time the following abilities are active. For survivability, it is recommended to use at least the Item Level 119 variants.

{{color|red|Whether your using the +2 augmented piece or the +3 Item Level 119 piece, there is no difference in the strength of the augments on these items. They are all listed here for ‘’clickability’’.}}

*Extends [[Nightingale]] ’s ability duration by 4 seconds per merit level, for a maximum of 20 additional seconds

==Support Jobs==
Always remember: ‘’shit’s situational’’ when picking your sub job. In today’s game, your sub always depends on the needs of your party with the content you are playing.

[[File:Healer's Cap icon.png|link=]] '''[[White Mage]]'''
*[[Erase]], -na spells, [[Divine Seal]], Curagas, [[Silence]], [[Banish]] spells
Healing can be very beneficial as a Bard. Subbing WHM grants the ability to help your party's healer and keep member’s top notch. With the addition of [[Master Level]]s, [[Curaga III]] gives Bard the ability to be a main healer in [[Odyssey]] Sheol A/B/C farms if properly geared and you can keep Ballad up on yourself.

-na spells and [[Erase]] can be incredibly helpful to have and use on your party if your healer is busy. [[Silence]] should not be disregarded either, as it is pretty easy to land in your debuff set. Landing it helps pull in those pesky casters who decide to stay at a distance and not gather on your tank. Not to mention landing Silence helps prevent your party from getting Sleepga’d.

With the addition of [[Sortie]] and the [[King Ranperre's Tomb]] [[Locus]] monsters , we are once again fighting a significant amount of Undead monsters again. Being able to [[Banish]] monsters as Bard can significantly help your party kill more efficiently. Bard even has four pieces of [[Banish]]+ enhancing gear that they can equip.

<hr />

[[File:Duelist's Chapeau icon.png|link=]] '''[[Red Mage]]'''
*[[Fast Cast]], [[Convert]], [[Phalanx]], [[Frazzle]], [[Distract]], [[Silence]]
[[Fast Cast]] is not as beneficial anymore these days with how easy it is to reach the cap for Bard. [[Convert]] has some good utility, but you will not have curaga access which is typically more beneficial. You will also be missing out on -na spells and [[Erase]]. You will also have access to [[Frazzle]], [[Distract]], and [[Silence]]. With your high Magic Accuracy set, it is relatively easy to land these. They could be significant to help on NMs if you do not have a [[Red Mage]] in the group to land the Tier II versions of the spells.

[[Phalanx]] is by far the best reason to sub [[Red Mage]]. It may certainly keep you alive during [[Dynamis - Divergence]]/[[Omen]]/[[Sortie]] pulling/sleeping. I recommended acquiring a [[Phalanx]]+ set via the [[Dark Matter]] [[Adventurer Campaigns]] on a set of Chironic gear.

<hr />

[[File:Dancer's Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]''' / [[File:Ninja Hatsuburi icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ninja]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]], [[Utsusemi]]
Ninja grants [[Dual Wield|Dual Wield III]] delay reduction and shadows. [[Utsusemi]] might have legitimate utility in some situations, but they are few and far between anymore.

[[Dancer]] gives things like [[Steps]], [[Sambas]], and [[Waltz]]es that may be a legitimate way to keep your party alive while also being able to dish out damage if your party needs a little more.

<hr />

[[File:Fighter's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Double Attack]], [[Berserk]], [[Aggressor]]

Bard has [[Fencer|Fencer II]], but the effect is negligible with [[TP Bonus]] +300 and [[Critical Hit Rate]] +5%.

<hr />

[[File:Gallant Coronet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Paladin]]'''
*[[Sentinel]], [[Defense Bonus III]]
Paired up with your DT sets, this gives [[Bard]] an option for pulling in [[Omen]] and [[Odyssey]] without getting immediately slaughtered. The downside is that you need to make a rule in your LUA file to lock your DT set, or else you will die if you pull and switch to precast/midcast.

This set is overkill on damage taken reduction, so feel free to swap some accessories around.

'''Hands'''

[[Volte Gloves]] and [[Volte Bracers]] are both good options for this set if you are lucky enough to have a pair of either.
If not, stick with [[Fili Manchettes +2]].

'''Main/Ranged'''

Only the instruments can get Regen, and only the dagger can get Refresh. Both get PDT, so swap depending what you prefer.
Dark stone augments overall suck, so I just throw on HP/MP. I have not yet gotten PDT-5 on the Linos. I am not entirely sure it is
possible. -4 is sufficient, as your only missing 1% now with the rest of the set.

'''Body'''
The [[Ashera Harness]] has lost its shine due to so many other - Damage Taken options we have post 2022 FFXI, some of which have higher MDB and base stats. While the [[Volte Doublet]] offers solid Magic Evasion, MDB, as well as Refresh, it is hard to get just like the [[Ashera Harness]]. I recommend sticking with [[Inyanga Jubbah +2]] until you get the Ashera or Volte Doublet. The Paralyze resistance on Ashera is nothing to scoff at. Additionally, the [[Bunzi's Robe]] has the highest [[Magic Evasion]]/[[INT]]/MDB combo available.

<hr>
I am going to list a new 99 set, experienced set, and my ideal set with additional armor considerations. Work towards the "Ideal" set, starting with the set on the top of the section with each slot. There is a lot of flexibility here, so feel free to make a combination of all these sets and options that suits you the best. Regardless of your choices, your focus for your Idle set should be the following order:
#Damage Taken
#Physical Damage Taken - Add up your Damage Taken, and supplement Physical Damage Taken to hit the '''50.0% cap'''.
#Magical Damage Taken - Add up your Damage Taken, and supplement Magical Damage Taken to hit the '''50.0% cap'''. Technically you only need 31% MDT if you have [[Shell V]] on you. That being said, I would still wear my MDT items regardless because of the Magic Evasion even when aiming for 31%.
#Magic Evasion - Never underestimate this stat. Stacking it on top of, and in conjunction with DT will cause you to resist many status ailments and take next to no magical damage.
#Magic Defense Bonus - A less understood stat, but still nice to have.
#Refresh
#Everything else, such as Regen

I was extremely excited for the {{ItemIcon|Daybreak|24}} [[Daybreak]] when it was first added to the game. I soon found that when switching gear, you blink on every action and lockstyle no longer works worth a damn. Sure, you can say everyone should be using BlinkMeNot but I rather not die from someone who doesn't use it fail to cure me when pulling in Dynamis. I stick to daggers in my sets on this page. Feel free to use the [[Daybreak]], as it is an amazing club with the very high Magic Evasion available on a weapon as well as [[Refresh]].

Dagger main hand options that have beneficial idle set stats:
*{{ItemIcon|Ipetam|24}} [[Ipetam]] - [[Evasion]]+22, {{Aug}} Max:
**Snow: [[Magic Evasion]]+15
**Leaf: Physical Damage Taken -4-5% '''OR''' Magical Damage Taken -4-5% '''OR''' Refresh+1
**Dusk: HP & MP +30~40
*{{ItemIcon|Skinflayer|24}} [[Skinflayer]] - [[Evasion]]+22, {{Aug}} Physical Damage Taken -3%
*{{ItemIcon|Odium|24}} [[Odium]] - [[Evasion]]+13, [[Magic Evasion]]+13, and [[Death]] resistance.
*{{ItemIcon|Nibiru Knife|24}} [[Nibiru Knife]] - [[Evasion]]+29, {{Aug}} Path D: [[Magic Evasion]]+20
*{{ItemIcon|Sangoma|24}} [[Sangoma]] - [[Evasion]]+22, [[Refresh]]+1, [[Regen]] +1
*{{ItemIcon|Kali|24}} [[Kali]] - Path C gives [[Refresh]] +1
*{{ItemIcon|Barfawc|24}} [[Barfawc]] - Very expensive, but if you can afford it then go for it. It will provide Damage Taken -12% with four songs up, as your songs are always up. You can make multiple other equipment swaps if you have this dagger.
*{{ItemIcon|Chocobo Knife|24}} [[Chocobo Knife]] - Wonderful option if you are lucky enough to win one, and actually choose that weapon compared to other picks from the [[Mog Bonanza]].
*{{ItemIcon|Nibiru Harp|24}} [[Nibiru Harp]] - Path D has Magic Evasion +20, PDT -3% and MDT-3%. Again, you will blink if you use this as your idle piece. Just keep that in mind.

There are only three Item Level shields for Bard to consider.
*{{ItemIcon|Genmei Shield|24}} [[Genmei Shield]]
**Even if you do not need the PDT, still has the highest Shield Skill for Bard along with block chance +6.
*{{ItemIcon|Ammurapi Shield|24}} [[Ammurapi Shield]]
**INT+13 and MND+13 to add to your dSTATS. Not much else for Idle.
*{{ItemIcon|Culminus|24}} [[Culminus]]
**[[SIRD]] 10% if you are looking for a build. Highest HP and MP for shield choices.

''Armor Considerations'' 

*{{ItemIcon|Nyame Helm|24}} [[Nyame Armor Set]]
**The reason I do not want to put these pieces in the "Ideal" set is due to how much HP+ is on them. While at first glance this seems like a good thing, you will almost always dip down below 75% HP with your gear changes. Not only is this annoying for your healers, it is dangerous in situations where adds could aggro low HP.
*{{ItemIcon|Culminus|24}} [[Culminus]]
**HP and MP on this piece, as well as spell interruption down. Decent alternative to Genmei Shield if you have Odyssey armor, but you will lose the Successful Block+6.
*{{ItemIcon|Fili Calot +3|24}} [[Fili Attire Set +3]]
**Wonderful defensive set with -[[Damage Taken]] and +[[Magic Evasion]]. Feet offer Movement Speed +18%. You can add in the body for an additional +5 [[Regen]] if you really want to, as long as you make up the DT elsewhere.
*{{ItemIcon|Bihu Roundlet +3|24}} [[Bihu Attire Set +3]]
**Decent Magic Evasion, but PDT only.
*{{ItemIcon|Inyanga Tiara +2|24}} [[Inyanga Armor Set|Inyanga Armor Set +2]]
**High Magic Evasion, but MDT only.
*{{ItemIcon|Chironic Hat|24}} [[:Category:Escha_Rewards#Reisenjima|Chironic Attire Set]]
**Need to be lucky with augments, but they could be really good pieces. Lower Magic Evasion and it cannot be augmented higher.
*{{ItemIcon|Mousai Turban +1|24}} [[Mousai Attire Set +1]]
**Very high Magic Evasion on pieces, but not much else for idle. Also does not compare to Fili +2, which is not hard to get. OK stepping stone if NQ available on the AH.
*{{ItemIcon|Volte Cap|24}} [[Dynamis_-_Jeuno_(D)|Dynamis - Divergence Jeuno]] Volte Set
**Treasure Hunter, high Magic Evasion, and Status Ailment resistances. Usually not worth going out of your way to obtain anymore these days.
*{{ItemIcon|Volte Beret|24}} [[Dynamis_-_San_d'Oria_(D)|Dynamis - Divergence San d'Oria]] Volte Set
**Refresh and high Magic Evasion. Usually not worth going out of your way to obtain anymore these days.
*{{ItemIcon|Gende. Caubeen +1|24}} [[:Category:Skirmish_Armor#Gendewitha_Armor_Set_.2B1|Gendiwitha Attire Set +1]]
**Obtainable early with Kupons, and offers decent starter -DT options.

''Earrings'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +1|24}} [[Fili Earring +1]]/[[Fili Earring +2|+2]]
**Large amount of [[Damage Taken]]. The +1 version can receive -3% up to -5%. The +2 can get a massive -6% up to -8%. Due to the odds of getting a max stat +2 earring, I am not adding it to any sets here. If you are lucky enough to get a [[Fili Earring +2|+2]] with Damage Taken -8%, you can replace your [[Defending Ring]] with other options. Good alternatives include {{ItemIcon|Warden's Ring|24}} [[Warden's Ring]] or {{ItemIcon|Woltaris Ring +1|24}} [[]] if you happened to have chosen it.
*{{ItemIcon|Sanare Earring|24}} [[Sanare Earring]]
**Magic Evasion as well as Magic Defense Bonus. Cant beat that.
*{{ItemIcon|Odnowa Earring +1|24}} [[Odnowa Earring +1]] {{Aug}}
**The {{Aug}} gives DEF +30 and Damage Taken -3%. The disadvantage is 100 MP is quite a lot to change over.
*{{ItemIcon|Ethereal Earring|24}} [[Ethereal Earring]]
**The MP Recovered effect stacks with Flume Belt +1. These items do not reduce AND convert damage taken, simply only convert it.
*{{ItemIcon|Eabani Earring|24}} [[Eabani Earring]]
**HP, Evasion, and Magic Evasion all in one.
*{{ItemIcon|Etiolation Earring|24}} [[Etiolation Earring]]
**HP/MP and Resist Silence if you like that kinda thing. MDT if you need it.

''Neck'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Loricate Torque +1|24}} [[Loricate Torque +1]]
**Damage Taken if you do not have enough elsewhere yet.
*{{ItemIcon|Warder's Charm +1|24}} [[Warder's Charm +1]]
** Additional Magic Damage nullified. Stacks with [[Shadow Ring]].

''Waist'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Flume Belt +1|24}} [[Flume Belt +1]]
**Not a horrible choice for a small MP regeneration source.
***Only replace the {{ItemIcon|Carrier's Sash|24}} [[Carrier's Sash]] with this if you are using {{ItemIcon|Warder's Charm +1|24}} [[Warder's Charm +1]] instead! You need one or the other to push up your [[Magic Evasion]] for resists.

''Back'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]]
**You can pick a different Resin augment rather than PDT/MDT/DT if you have enough in other slots. I recommend Magic Evasion (+15), Defense (+50) or Status Ailment Resistance (+10).

| width=600px valign=top | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
The entire goal of a precast set is to have fast songs, but at the same time your swapping does not get you killed within that few second window when you are switching gear from idle, to precast, to midcast, and safely back to idle. Combined [[Fast Cast]] & [[Song Spellcasting Time]] stack with each other and cap at an overall -80%. Job traits are included in this cap.

These sets attempt to optimize Fast Cast, while at the same time using the best DT/PDT/MDT/MEVA gear to keep you alive when running in close to the enemy. Make it a priority to upgrade to Item Level 119 equipment as soon as possible as the extra stats help you to survive in events such as [[Ambuscade]].
<hr>
''Weapon and Shield'' 
The best [[Bard]] options for Fast Cast is the {{ItemIcon|Kali|24}} [[Kali]] and the {{ItemIcon|Vampirism|24}} [[Vampirism]]. Neither augment options on these daggers are of much benefit to Fast Cast sets, so they are not a big deal if they are maxed or not. Although harder to get, the {{ItemIcon|Sangoma|24}} [[Sangoma]] is a great alternative as it adds +1 [[Regen]] and +1 [[Refresh]] but only 4% Fast Cast. You do not get much benefit from those bonuses, however, as it is only equipped for a short time unless you use it for your idle set.

It is possible to cap at 80% without having to switch your main hand weapon, so if you can do that it is ideal to save your TP.

Bard only receives two options for defensive shields. Even if it is not item level tier, the {{ItemIcon|Genbu's Shield|24}} [[Genbu's Shield]] is a great first or returner shield with the PDT-10% offered on it. The Item Level equivalent is the {{ItemIcon|Genmei Shield|24}} [[Genmei Shield]] which offers good defense and -10% PDT as well.

''Head'' 
{{ItemIcon|Fili Calot +2|24}} [[Fili Calot +2]] offers the highest value of Fast Cast/Song Spellcasting Time down and now -Damage Taken. You'll also need the piece for other reasons, so work towards getting it. It should be your first Fili +2 piece you upgrade.

''Body'' 
The {{ItemIcon|Inyanga Jubbah|24}} [[Inyanga Jubbah]]'s final form is one of two of the best options for you "ideal" set. The {{ItemIcon|Inyanga Jubbah +2|24}} [[Inyanga Jubbah +2]] has a large MDT -8% on it with 14% Fast Cast. The {{ItemIcon|Brioso Justau. +3|24}} [[Brioso Justaucorps +3]] has Song spellcasting time -15%, but has other uses so you will still need it but not as a priority for Precast.

''Hands'' 
Due to the ease of obtaining a piece of Yorcia Skirmish Armor with a [[Kupon A-SYW]], the {{ItemIcon|Gende. Gages +1|24}} [[Gende. Gages +1]] will take you all the way to "Ideal". Obtaining perfect augments is difficult. You will always obtain PDT- and some form of additional stat. If you obtain Song Spellcasting Time -5%, take it regardless of the other stats. Although perfect stats are nice, you only use these hands for a limited time for precast, and our main focus is capping your Fast Cast.

''Legs'' 
Get the {{ItemIcon|Orvail Pants +1|24}} [[Orvail Pants +1]] as soon as you complete the 1-119 guide. After that the main options for legs are the {{ItemIcon|Ayanmo Cosciales|24}} [[Ayanmo Cosciales]] at first and quickly upgrade them to {{ItemIcon|Aya. Cosciales +2|24}} [[Ayanmo Cosciales +2]]. Work on [[Domain Invasion]] to get yourself the {{ItemIcon|Kaykaus Tights|24}} [[Kaykaus Tights]] or {{ItemIcon|Kaykaus Tights +1|24}} [[Kaykaus Tights +1]] if you can afford them. Another option is {{ItemIcon|Gende. Spats +1|24}} [[Gende. Spats +1]], although harder to get and your better off using your Kupon on the Gages instead. Augmenting them with an additional -5% casting time makes them a strong contender for "ideal". The final option, albeit very difficult to obtain, is the {{ItemIcon|Volte Brais|24}} [[Volte Brais]]. Putting these in allows you some leniency elsewhere. Thank you [https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/35597/you-spoony-guide-a-troubadours-libretto/61/#3647690 Asura.Jokes] for the tip.

''Feet'' 
Due to the ease of obtaining a piece of Allouvion Skirmish Armor with a [[Kupon A-ASYW]], I listed {{ItemIcon|Telchine Pigaches|24}} [[Telchine Pigaches]] here as a mid set option. If you choose another option with that Kupon, the {{ItemIcon|Bihu Slippers +1|24}} [[Bard's Slippers +1]] or [[Fili Cothurnes +2]] are your goal until you can get Telchine from Skirmish another way. The other option is {{ItemIcon|Bihu Slippers +3|24}} [[Bihu Slippers +3]]. For "ideal" after maxing your augment, your looking at +3% Fast Cast/+5 Magic Evasion with Telchine, vs +5% PDT with Slippers. After taking augment cost into account, you may be spending more on maxing Telchine based on your luck than making Bihu +3 feet. Once you can afford the upgrade, get the [[Fili Cothurnes +3]].

''Earrings'' 
There are only four options for your Precast set. The easiest two earrings to obtain are the {{ItemIcon|Loquac. Earring|24}} [[Loquacious Earring]] (2% Fast Cast) if you have [[Limbus]] access, and the {{ItemIcon|Aoidos' Earring|24}} [[Aoidos' Earring]]. Your other two options are the expensive, but purchasable right away {{ItemIcon|Enchntr. Earring +1|24}} [[Enchntr. Earring +1]] and the {{ItemIcon|Etiolation Earring|24}} [[Etiolation Earring]]. The Etiolation is only 1% Fast Cast when all other earrings are 2%. It does offer Magic damage taken -3% and Resist Silence +15, making it double as a great Idle piece.
If you cap out your set at 81%, throw in your [[Fili Earring +1]]/[[Fili Earring +2|+2]] for extra survivability in your precast. If you do not have it do not fret. Keep any other DT piece on if you are capped.

''Rings'' 
As with every other job, Bard makes wonderful use of the {{ItemIcon|Defending Ring|24}} [[Defending Ring]]. In fact, it is just about a full time piece for the job. Begin your quest to get one for yourself right after hitting 99. For the other slot, the {{ItemIcon|Prolix Ring|24}} [[Prolix Ring]] is a good start, and can be purchased right away. Otherwise your only other worthwile option is the {{ItemIcon|Kishar Ring|24}} [[Kishar Ring]] from [[Omen]] midboss.

''Back'' 
[[Ambuscade]] capes are just too good and available not to recommend early on. When making your {{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]] there is nothing else that should be tempting in the [[Abdhaljs Sap]] category other than Fast Cast for you to choose, so this will save an inventory slot by just reusing your idle cape.

''Waist'' 
{{ItemIcon|Aoidos' Belt|24}} [[Aoidos' Belt]] is the easiest Fast Cast item to get for the slot, followed by {{ItemIcon|Embla Sash|24}} [[Embla Sash]] from [[Domain Invasion]]. If you do not need further Fast Cast, the best defensive option is {{ItemIcon|Flume Belt +1|24}} [[Flume Belt +1]] (or NQ) for PDT. You may be asking where the {{ItemIcon|Witful Belt|24}} [[Witful Belt]] is. I do not like [[Quick Magic]] because of situations where you may lag, Gearswap will not put on your duration+ gear quick enough. This will cause you to have to recast the song that did not get boosted effects. I prefer to keep capped Fast Cast so I know how long my songs will take to cast.
|}

===Midcast - Songs===
{| width=1200px |
| width=600px valign=top | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
Your goal for your midcast set is to boost your songs first and foremost with any available "''Song+''" or "''All Song''+" gear that is accessible. The second objective is to stack as much song effect duration as possible in other slots, but at the same time keeping your songs somewhat similar in maximum length.

The equipment sets here do not incorporate much of the "''Song+''" gear, with the exception of the {{ItemIcon|Moonbow Whistle|24}} [[Moonbow Whistle]].

There is no known cap on either Song Duration or "''Song+''" gear. The only limitation is how much is available in the game and obtaining said pieces.

See the [[Song Potency]] page here on BGWiki for details on Song Potency and items that increase that potency. For the most part, they are all mentioned here but without details found on other wiki pages such as strength of the songs.

The "Set" bonus on Bard's Empyrean armor is often overlooked. It offers small stat bonuses based on the element of the song that is sung, and stacks with subsequent songs. See [[Fili Attire Set]] for details on that.

'''''Blank Slots'''''

The slots here that do not have anything equipped should carry over from your Precast sets. I left them open as no beneficial effects can be gained for Midcast purposes, so the idea is to keep your DT gear equipped in those slots until you can reach the "Ideal" tier in any particular slot. You should easily hit 900 skill naturally once you obtain Job Master, so there is no need to consider skill for party buff songs.

====Song Specific Swaps====
As found on the [[Song Potency]] page, swapping in "''Song+''" gear increases the potency and duration of appropriate songs. Besides instruments, the gear below helps increase potency. As far as Instruments, you will want to work towards your {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn (Level 99)|24}} [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]]. It is not nearly as expensive as it was in the past. Not many songs can reach +4 with other instruments, and your inventory will love you.

For a beginner instrument, pick up an [[Eminent Flute]]. Also buy yourself a {{ItemIcon|Linos|24}} [[Linos]] with your [[Kupon W-ASCC]]. Work towards either a {{ItemIcon|Linos|24}} [[Linos]] {{Aug}} Augment of All Songs +2 resulting in All Songs +3, or your {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn (Level 99)|24}} [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]]. The {{ItemIcon|Linos|24}} [[Linos]] can receive an All Songs+2 augment, but it can cost as much as a base {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn (Level 99)|24}} [[Gjallarhorn]] if you are unlucky.

*[[Image:Ballad_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Ballad]], I '''do not recommend''' swapping in {{ItemIcon|Fili Rhingrave|24}} [[Fili Rhingrave]]/+1/+2/+3, even though it offers another tick of ballad. The reasoning is that [[Inyanga Shalwar +2]] needs to be swapped out for that 1 MP/tick ballad. Doing this causes problems overwriting correct songs on your mages, because the shortest duration song is the one overwritten, and when you use the [[Fili Rhingrave]]/+1/+2/+3, it is always Ballad. While it is still possible to do, you will be lowering your other song durations too much to compensate. This will not let you ride Nitro to Nitro comfortably. In laggy situations like Odyssey or Dynamis, some songs will probably end up dropping off, forcing you to bust out your Daurdabla again to put them back up. If we happen to get another Ballad+ tier somewhere in the future, this situation will change and [[Fili Rhingrave]]/+1/+2/+3 might be recommended again.
*[[Image:Minne_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Minne]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mou. Seraweels +1|24}} [[Mousai Seraweels +1]] - If you do not have the +1, do not bother. You will run into the same problem as Ballad above since this is the leg slot. These legs are good, buy them and max out your [[Minne]] merits to 5/5.
*[[Image:Minuet_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Minuet]], no swap required, {{ItemIcon|Fili Hongreline|24}} [[Fili Hongreline]]/+1/+2/+3 already grants +1.
*[[Image:Madrigal_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Madrigal]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]], and {{ItemIcon|Fili Calot|24}} [[Fili Calot]]/+1/+2/+3 already grants +1. For Madrigal, I also recommend swapping your [[Fili Cothurnes]]/+1/+2/+3 in '''instead of''' your [[Brioso Slippers +3]]. This is because you get an extra +1 from your [[Intarabus's Cape]] vs other songs, so Madrigal is naturally longer than the rest. Like Ballad above, this will cause problems overwriting the songs if your mages get hit by them. PS: You will also give your melee an extra DEX due to the set bonus, which usually results in another +1 Accuracy too! Yay!
*[[Image:Prelude_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Prelude]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]]. For Prelude, like Madrigal above, I also recommend swapping your [[Fili Cothurnes]]/+1/+2/+3 in '''instead of''' your [[Brioso Slippers +3]]. This is because you get an extra +1 from your [[Intarabus's Cape]] vs other songs, so Prelude is naturally longer than the rest. Like Ballad above, this will cause problems overwriting the songs if your mages get hit by them.
*[[Image:March_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[March]], no swap required, {{ItemIcon|Fili Manchettes|24}} [[Fili Manchettes]]/+1/+2/+3 already grants +1.
**Although you need to sing [[Honor March]] with the {{ItemIcon|Marsyas|24}} [[Marsyas]], you can still swap in the hands, and they will boost the song. Honor March will be your longest song because of the Marsyas duration bonus, which is OK. I usually pair it with [[Marcato]]. It also benefits mages with the [[Magic Haste]] it gives. Because it is the longest song you have, you have less worry about overwriting it.
*[[Image:Scherzo_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Scherzo]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Fili Cothurnes|24}} [[Fili Cothurnes]]/+1/+2/+3
*[[Image:Carol_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Carol]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Gages|24}} [[Mousai Gages]]/+1
*[[Image:Mambo_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Mambo]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Crackows|24}} [[Mousai Crackows]]/+1
*[[Image:Etude_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Etude]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Turban|24}} [[Mousai Turban]]/+1
*[[Image:Paeon_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Paeon]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Brioso Roundlet|24}} [[Brioso Roundlet]]/+1/+2/+3

{{color|red|Note:}} There are additional swaps for offensive spells, but this section is only for party buff songs. Other party songs not mentioned here do not have any additional equipment modifiers.

====Carnwenhan====
The {{ItemIcon|Carnwenhan|24}} [[Carnwenhan]] is a wonderful weapon for [[Bard]]. It is Bard’s [[Mythic Weapon]], and the main benefit gained from the weapon is its '''Increases song effect duration V''' stat. This extends song duration by 50% of the original amount. Party buff songs, which normally last for 3 minutes flat with no bonuses, turn into 4 minutes 30 seconds. "''Song+''" equipment as well as Song Effect Duration gear extends this time further. The "V" tier is gained from the Level 99 version and does not get higher after that. You will still want at least the 119 III version though, as it is also the best option for offensive spells. These are discussed further in the next section.
====Miracle Cheer====
The newest instrument for Bard, the {{ItemIcon|Miracle Cheer|24}} [[Miracle Cheer]], only comes from the [[Mog Bonanza]]. At first glance, this instrument seems inferior to [[Gjallarhorn]]. While it is indeed +1 song potency less, songs put up with this instrument are all set to a straight 15-minute duration. It does not stack with other Song Duration gear, so this means you do not need the [[Carnwenhan]] for party buffs when you are using this instrument.

This instrument’s main appeal is when you use it in conjunction with [[Soul Voice]]. You are able to have a [[Soul Voice]] duration of around 18-18.25 minutes for your entire party. Now compare this to Soul Voice without this instrument. Your song duration would be around 14-15 minutes. To achieve 18 minute songs with a [[Miracle Cheer]], a Bard would use Soul Voice and Clarion Call to then put up all of their songs. After about 3 minutes, reapply songs before your Soul Voice wears off. [[Soul Voice]] lasts for 3.5 minutes with the Relic +2 body’s +30 second effect, and it will should take around 20 seconds to reapply songs on your party. You will still need to use NiTro with [[Honor March]] before SV wears off.

If you manage to have your abilities reset during your event via [[Corsair]], your party will then have 36.5 minutes of Soul Voice. That is more than half of one [[Sortie]] run, or an entire [[Odyssey]] farm run if no deaths or dispels occur in either. That additional time where you do not need to recast Soul Voice could mean the difference between winning a short 15 minute Sheol Gaol boss.

The two downsides of this instrument are the +1 less potency you have for songs, and [[Honor March]] will still be shorter than your other songs since you need to cast it with [[Marsyas]]. I have broken down song potency below to compare both instruments with maximum potency attainable and Soul Voice active. Merits are not accounted for in the examples below.

Not missing much huh?

If you do not have [[Soul Voice]] up, then I would stick with [[Gjallarhorn]]+[[Carnwenhan]]. It is worth mentioning that [[Miracle Cheer]] does solve the problem with Ballad having a lower duration than other songs. I talk about this issue in the song specific swaps section.

Singing non-Soul Voiced songs with a combination of both instruments will allow you to manipulate which songs will not be overwritten. For instance, if you put up Ballad on your tank with the [[Miracle Cheer]], subsequent songs will not overwrite it if sung with the [[Gjallarhorn]].

====Loughnashade (Prime Horn)====
At first glance, the {{ItemIcon|Loughnashade (Level 119 III)|24}} [[Loughnashade (Level 119 III)]] seems to totally replace the [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]] and the [[Daurdabla (Level 99)]]. While their primary uses are condensed into one new instrument, the originals still have purposes.

The [[Daurdabla (Level 99)]] can still be used as a great AoE [[Horde Lullaby II]] instrument. The [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]] also has skill+ that the Loughnashade is missing, solidifying it's throne as the best debuff instrument.

It is yet to be seen how strong the new song Aria of Passion will be.

The {{ItemIcon|Loughnashade (Incomplete)|24}} [[Loughnashade (Incomplete)]] is worth purchasing one because it is an easy way to quickly wake yourself up from [[Sleep]]!

===Midcast - Lullaby===
{| width=1200px |
| width=600px valign=top | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
''Before we begin this section, Bard's String Skill Cap as Job Master with 8/8 String Merits is '''425'''. This does not include Master Levels. Keep that number in mind, as we will be discussing it at length.''

For content such as [[Dynamis Divergence]], [[Odyssey]], and [[Sortie]], you should be using a String Instrument for sleeps. String instruments have a naturally wide AoE compared to Wind Instrument's fixed AoE. The range you have depends directly on ONLY your String Instrument Skill. Duration is less important in this content, as monsters will usually be attacked by party members before they naturally wake up from your song duration expiring. This is usually true even if it is shorter.

*'''[[Horde Lullaby|Horde Lullaby I]]''' has an 8 yalm radius, centered around the target you cast on, at a pitiful 154 String Skill. Singing Skill has no affect for Lullaby AoE. This being said, it is best to cast that song in '''maximum Magic Accuracy''' equipment most of the time. For situations where you need longer sleeps or when you use 5/5 [[Troubadour]], it is best to use maximum duration.
*'''[[Horde Lullaby II]]''' is a different story. In order to attain the maximum radius of 8 yalms, centered around the target you cast on, you need an estimated 648 String Skill. This is currently impossible to obtain, so instead we aim for String Skill level 567 for the next highest radius of 7 yalms. This skill number includes natural skill, assumes you have maximum string skill merits, have some master levels, and all your midcast equipment up to par.
*{{color|red|Note:}} Single target Lullaby songs should be cast with {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn|24}} [[Gjallarhorn]] or {{ItemIcon|Marsyas|24}} [[Marsyas]] for maximum Magic Accuracy and Duration. There is no point to cast single target songs with a harp.

The downside to String is that there is a naturally higher resist rate on your songs. With high end magic accuracy equipment this drawback is negligible and rarely makes a difference in the modern era of the game. The only time you ''might'' see a change is on high level Notorious Monsters, which are rarely susceptible to sleep anyway. In this case you would be obtaining 100% magic accuracy with your 5/5 [[Troubadour]] ability.

Options for [[Lullaby]] with String Instruments include:
*{{ItemIcon|Blurred Harp +1|24}} [[Blurred Harp +1]] - This instrument has "All Songs +2" '''AND''' [[Lullaby]] +2, resulting in the same strength sleeps as [[Gjallarhorn]].
*{{ItemIcon|Blurred Harp|24}} [[Blurred Harp]] - Same as above, but only grants "All Songs +1", so slightly less duration and accuracy as +1.
*{{ItemIcon|Daurdabla|24}} [[Daurdabla]] - +30% Duration, no [[Lullaby]]+ statistic, but a large chunk of String Skill.

Options for [[Lullaby]] with Wind Instruments include:
*{{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn|24}} [[Gjallarhorn]] - Great MACC, naturally higher Wind accuracy, and All Songs +4. Only downside is not as wide of an AoE range.
*{{ItemIcon|Marsyas|24}} [[Marsyas]] - +50% Song Duration. Technically this is more than [[Gjallarhorn]], but less accuracy and the same narrow AoE range. Macc is irrelevant if you are using 5/5 [[Troubadour]].

{{color|red|Note:}} To obtain String Skill level 486 for Horde Lullaby II 6 Yalm AoE with the "All Lullaby NOT Horde II" set below while using {{ItemIcon|Blurred Harp +1|24}} [[Blurred Harp +1]], you must have Master Level 12. If you do not have Master Level 12 yet, alternatives to the set below include {{ItemIcon|Harfner's Sash|24px}} [[Harfner's Sash]] and {{ItemIcon|Gersemi Earring|24px}} [[Gersemi Earring]] (instead of Dignitary's). Be sure to look at your Magic Skill menu with your midcast to ensure you are at least at String Skill 486.

<hr>
For song debuffs you want to focus on the following stats in your sets:
*[[Charisma]]
*[[Magic Accuracy]]
*[[Wind Instrument Skill]] & [[Singing Skill]]
*[[Song Effect Duration]]

CHR vs Magic Accuracy vs Wind/Singing Skill has never been solidified as to what stat is "the best" for Bard. Charisma seems to matter the most when the enemy is of significantly higher level. Remember that you can also cast [[Bewitching Etude]] on yourself for a quick amount of CHR, but you cannot pull MACC or Skill out of nowhere. The "ideal" set here offers the best CHR/MACC/Skill/Duration combination available.
Many people do not realize that Song Duration also applies to debuffs. That being said, it is wonderful to have your {{ItemIcon|Carnwenhan|24}} [[Carnwenhan]] for this set. Not only for Magic Accuracy but also for debuff durations.

'''''Enfeebles'''''

Notably, [[Silence]] is an enfeebling spell that Bards will cast quite a lot. This is especially true in [[Dynamis - Divergence]]. With our insanely high [[Magic Accuracy]] that we can obtain on our gear, we have a very high ability to silence a lot of enemies.

These sets are also what I recommend for progressing in your offensive enfeebles, except you can obviously put in a ranged or ammo piece. You can use your [[Fast Cast]] [[Linos]] and add Magic Accuracy +15 or more to it with [[Snowdim Stone]]s.

Remember, use [[Wind Threnody II]] before casting Silence. This will help you and your group's odds.
<hr>
''Weapon'' 
The {{ItemIcon|Kali|24}} [[Kali]] will do great for a long time; indefinitley if you do not create a Mythic. There are runner ups, such: Max {{Aug}} {{ItemIcon|Malevolence|24}} [[Malevolence]], {{ItemIcon|Tauret|24}} [[Tauret]], and {{ItemIcon|Barfawc|24}} [[Barfawc]] but they do not have the Song Duration +5% as the Kali does. '''Remember Song Duration+ affects debuffs too!'''

Your weapon is an obvious choice for Best in Slot. Augmenting your mythic only benefits you further, but it is expensive. Afterglow Horn offers zero benefit, so do not bother.

''Shield'' 
The [[Genbu's Shield]] is easy to get and can be Augmented. If you do not have a steady Omen group that can kill bosses, the {{ItemIcon|Ammurapi Shield|24}} [[Ammurapi Shield]] might be far off for you. If this is the case, I recommend trying to augment your {{ItemIcon|Genbu's Shield|24}} [[Genbu's Shield]] with [[Tatter and Scrap Synergy]]. The Genbu's Shield will last you until your Ammurapi.

''Head/Body/Hands/Legs/Feet'' 
Even though Inyanga is technically not "New 99 Bard", there are no other sets worthwhile for Debuffs. The NQ or +1 set should be your first goal, as it will be upgraded to +2 eventually.

The Inyanga +2 set will treat you well until you get into Omen and upgrade your Artifact gear. It will also double as a few slots for your Idle sets.

Bard is lucky when it comes to our [[Reforged Artifact Armor +3]]. The job benefits greatly from the Set bonus, as well as just how great the stats are. Paring both up makes these pieces a must have for anyone who is serious about gearing up. With the addition of [[Reforged Empyrean Armor +3]], the body/hands/legs have been replaced. Even though we lose two set bonuses, the benefits outweigh the losses. This also allows us to use the Regal Earring to regain a set bonus tier and remain at 3/5.

''Earrings'' 
With the addition of the {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +2|24}} [[Fili Earring +2]], our earring choices change around quite a bit. I recommend swapping out the {{ItemIcon|Regal Earring|24}} [[Regal Earring]], since you are only receiving dCHR +10 as the Set bonus caps at 5 for [[Reforged Artifact Armor +3]]. Even a low augment {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +1|24}} [[Fili Earring +1]] beats it out. If you only have an NQ {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring|24}} [[Fili Earring]], it needs to be pretty much cap augments to be worth wearing in this set.

Until you get your hands on at least a {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +1|24}} [[Fili Earring +1]], use the {{ItemIcon|Regal Earring|24}} [[Regal Earring]] and {{ItemIcon|Digni. Earring|24}} [[Dignitary's Earring]] combo.

''Neck'' 
Again, the {{ItemIcon|Moonbow Whistle|24}} [[Moonbow Whistle]] is just too easily accessible to not pick up right away. Save your money for a +1!

''Rings'' 
The [[Stikini Ring +1]] was king for quite awhile for [[Bard]] due to its somewhat earlier introduction in the 119 era. Although the great Magic Skill debate continues with this ring, it has a contendor now with [[Odyssey]]'s {{ItemIcon|Metamor. Ring +1|24}} [[Metamorph Ring +1]].

Stikini +1: Wind Instrument Skill +8, Singing Skill +8, Magic Accuracy+11 '''vs''' Metamorph +1 {{Aug}}: CHR+16, Magic Accuracy +11~15

Skill vs Stats vs Macc opinions will differ amoungst the playerbase. One theory is that '''''Skill 199 or lower is Skill +1 = MAcc +1.0''''' whereas '''''Skill 200 or higher is Skill +1 = Macc +0.9'''''.

I would say if you already have two Stikini +1s, do not bother with the Metamorph +1. If you have or need a Metamorph +1 for another job, then by all means use it in your Debuff set to save an inventory slot. Nobody will mock either decision you make, as long as you are in the top Unities.

''Back'' 
[[Ambuscade]] capes win again for this slot category. You can reuse your main Bard cape as it meets the criteria for Debuff songs.

''Waist'' 
The {{ItemIcon|Luminary Sash|24}} [[Luminary Sash]] was king for [[Magic Accuracy]] in the waist slot until [[Odyssey]] was released. Now we have the augmented {{ItemIcon|Acuity Belt +1|24}} [[Acuity Belt +1]], with no regards to the base stats. A capped out belt gives us +15 [[Magic Accuracy]] from the Augment.

Until you get this, the {{ItemIcon|Luminary Sash|24}} [[Luminary Sash]] is the runner up waist piece, but it is from [[Neak]] so it could be difficult to obtain unless it drops during an Aeonic run. Other honorable mentions are the {{ItemIcon|Ovate Rope|24}} [[Ovate Rope]] & {{ItemIcon|Porous Rope|24}} [[Porous Rope]].

====Song Specific Swaps====
As found on the [[Song Potency]] page, swapping in "''Song+''" gear increases the potency and duration of appropriate songs. Besides instruments, the gear below helps increase potency.

*[[Image:Threnody_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Threnody]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Manteel|24}} [[Mousai Manteel]]/+1
*[[Image:Lullaby_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Lullaby]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Brioso Cuffs +3|24}} [[Brioso Cuffs +3]] if they are not already. See more details in the [[#Midcast - Lullaby|Lullaby]] section of this guide.

The full +1 set gives us 44% '''Cure Potency''' by itself, not counting any '''Cure Potency II'''. Paired with the Path D augment on the body, that alone caps you. That makes the [[Daybreak]] less useful for this set, except for MND+30. I recommend switching to options for Conserve MP, which the best set would be [[Grioavolr]] {{Aug}} and [[Giuoco Grip]]. This will cause blinking for cures, though. The only other viable option for main hand would be an augmented [[Ipetam]] which can get Conserve MP with Leaf stones.

*If you do not have a [[Magnetic Earring]], the [[Gifted Earring]] is the next best choice with a loss of 2 [[Conserve MP]].
*An alternate for your back can be the [[Fi Follet Cape +1]], but the {{Aug}} with "Fast Cast" +10% and Spell Interruption Rate -5% doesn't help much mid cure midcast.
| valign=top width=600px | '''Midcast - Cure - Some Kaykaus +1'''
<hr>
The first piece of Kaykaus +1 you should obtain is obviously the body, as it has natural '''Cure Potency II''' without the need for a set bonus. Ideally it would be best if you pair it with just one other +1 piece to get the set bonus. Legs and Hands tend to be the cheapest secondary option, but that might not be the case on your world.

The feet are used for an Enhancing set, so they are a wonderful piece to pick up. They don't quite beat [[Vanya Clogs]], however, due to the +40 [[Healing Magic Skill]] obtainable on them even with the additional Cure Potency II set bonus. The difference is only about 10 HP for Cure IV, though.

Try for the set below on your way to 5/5.

*[[Linos]] can obtain Cure Potency +1~6% with Leafdim stones. Our other ranged/ammo options are pretty much only [[Pemphredo Tathlum]]. Depending on your other gear pieces, it may me best to use Linos here for extra Cure potency if needed. Snow and Dusk augments for Linos are not beneficial for cure potency purposes.

<hr>
Stoneskin keeps you alive. Paired with PDT/MDT and Magic Evasion, your mileage with Stoneskin is incredible. The pieces below will grant you additional Stoneskin potency.

[[Aquaveil]] prevents interrupts during spells (NOT songs, as they cannot be interrupted). Instead of the waist item below, equip an [[Emphatikos Rope]] instead during Aquaveil casts.

350 HP Base Stoneskin + 95 HP additional from the equipment above. Total Stoneskin will be 445 HP damage absorbed.
*At 119, it is incredibly easy to cap Stoneskin's base 350 HP absorption. No enhancing magic or MND needs to be considered, and anything over the cap is not useful for the effect.
*Bard cannot use [[Stone Mufflers]], which enhance Stoneskin further.
*[[Stone Gorget]] offers +30 HP, which is the same as the [[Nodens Gorget]]. Obtain either for the same effect.
| valign=top | '''''Midcast - Barspells (Enhancing +)'''''
<hr>
When a [[White Mage]] is not available for your party, Bard can use [[Barspells]] to help keep party members alive from various damaging spells. Pairing Carols together with similar elements strengthens Barspells even further.

The set below offers 154 [[Enhancing Magic]] skill. We also only obtain level 49 skill from WHM subjob and merits, which is 155. The total Enhancing magic we can get is 309. Plugging this into the formula gives us barspells of 102 resistance. Add the bonus of 15 from the [[Shedir Seraweels]] grants us a maximum total of 117 for our Barspells.

Very important to help remove doom from your party members.

Be sure to read the [[Cursna]] page for details on removing Doom, and for formula information. The idea is to stack Healing Magic skill anywhere you cannot get a Cursna+ piece, but since Bard does not have native Healing Magic skill, stacking healing magic really wont push you to any futher tiers. There are options for body and legs, but neither are Item Level.

Focus on the Cursna+ gear in the list below.

If you do not have the {{ItemIcon|Hieros Mittens|24px}} [[Hieros Mittens]], then use {{ItemIcon|Inyan. Dastanas +2}} [[Inyan. Dastanas +2]] for a beefy +20 Healing Magic skill boost.

*Debilis Medallion = 15
*Haoma's Ring = 15
*Menelaus's Ring = 20
*Gende. Galosh. +1 = 10

===Tanking Sets===
<hr />
These sets can be helpful for tanking the add during the [[Arebati]] fight. Use your generic Idle set for this, but these Precast and Midcast sets are special.

Once we learn more about definitive values of [[VE]] and [[CE]] on each song, I will create a spreadsheet and add it here. Until then, it seems best to spam all of your offensive songs to generate hate.

====Precast – Tanking ====
The only change from the “Ideal Precast” set listed above is if you do not have a {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +2|24}} [[Fili Earring +2]]. You will need to add Damage Taken -5% to your {{ItemIcon|Intarabus’s Cape|24}} [[Intarabus’s Cape]] to cap. This way Wilbur will not push your face in due to lag and song casts as you will always have 50% DT.

[[#Precast_-_Songs|Click Here]] to skip to the Precast section with this set.

====Midcast - Enmity+ set====
Below is a max Enmity+ build for Bard, while still having Physical Damage Taken -50%.

Be mindful to reinvest any merits into Enmity+ before the fight. Enmity+ caps at +200 from gear. Bard cannot get close to that, but we have some things to work with.

Keeping up [[File:Sirvente_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[Sirvente]] on yourself is important for doing this, as well as [[File:Minne_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[Minne]] songs. You also need to ensure that you have capped [[Magic Haste]] with either the haste spell or [[File:March_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[March]]. If you can spare it, a [[File:Mambo_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[Mambo]] might also be beneficial depending on your party.

'''Remember to swap back into your idle set. This set is only for casting songs (Midcast).'''

{{Equipment Set

Stats on the above set:
*Enmity+72 (and Merits +5)
*Damage Taken -18%
*PDT -33% (Capped when combined with DT)
*Haste +27% (Cap)

Earring Alternatives: [[Titanis Earring]], [[Pluto's Pearl]]

Ring Alternatives: [[Eihwaz Ring]], [[Pernicious Ring]]

There are belts with +1 more enmity, but we need to use this one to cap Equipment Haste.

The Intarabus’s Cape can have AGI, HP, or Evasion instead of VIT, but I figure VIT is better since we are not going for Evasion. Those Crits suck.

| colspan=2 align=center valign=top | This guide is an expansion of my previous Gearsets page I had on here before. I dive deeply into gearsets that you will want to work towards for Bard, as well as cover Merits, Job Abilties, and Job Points.

If you do not know the first thing about Bard, I recommend watching [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q4ezDgeUBI Ruaumoko's 42 minute video on YouTube] and then return to this guide.
|}

==Recommended Game Adjustments==
Controversies aside, I recommend the following settings and game adjustments to assist you in your job as a Bard.

===Windower Addons / DAT Swaps===
*[https://github.com/Caradog/XI-View XIView] - This set of icon DAT swaps will change bard song effects to be color coded. You will be able to look at a glance and see what effects your party members have. As an example, we use these icons on the [[Song Potency]] page here on BGWiki.
**Remember, you may need to re-install these files after Version Updates.
*Timers - This addon shows timers on all of your party members. In laggy situations, it can be inaccurate.
*Distance - Useful for making sure AoE songs will land on players. Maximum distance with Horn is 9.9 yalms, displayed as 9.9 with the addon when targeting a party member.
*[https://github.com/Petewilmer/DParty DParty] - See the distance that you are away from your party members. It is shown by the party list.
**Pianissimo is not affected by this addon.
*aecho - A silenced Bard cannot sing or heal
*Gearswap - This addon is needed to properly use Idle/Precast/Midcast sets to their fullest extent. Although it is possible to use gearsets, Gearswap just makes it easier and more reliable for you.
**It is best to start with a LUA somewhere online and replace the gear with yours. Remember to edit the correct file on your computer (Not one on your desktop lol) and //gs reload after making a change. //gs export will help build your sets by exporting what you are currently wearing. Do this for armor with augments especially.
*[https://github.com/KenshiDRK/Addons/tree/master/PartyBuffs PartyBuffs] - Shows buff icons near the party member names. Uses icon swaps if you have XIView installed too.
*Shortcuts - Easily cast spells on players and monsters. Examples include "/silence" "/reraise" "/haste" etc.
**You can add songs to this addon yourself. By default, it does not come with songs in it.

===In-Game Configuration===
*Turn on Config > Misc 3 > Status Icons > Party Icon Display
**The plugin PartyBuffs is basically the same thing.
*Turn on Config > Misc 3 > Status Icons > Timer Display
**Use this to verify your song timers. The timers on yourself are the same timers your melee have. Of course, if you gave yourself a different song this point is moot.

==Merit Points==
{{Merit Icon}}

Below are my recommendations for Merit Point Bard choices.
===Group 1===
[[Lullaby]] Recast - Although this sounds good at first, Lullaby has an overall recast cap that is easily hit with [[Equipment Haste]] and [[Magic Haste]]. Meriting this category does not further reduce the recast time, therefore is not beneficial.

[[Finale]] Recast - Same as above. There is a minimum recast time on [[Finale]] that is easily hit. Meriting this is unnecessary.

[[Minne]] Effect - This is a good choice for 5/5. Minne has seen a huge comeback since [[Odyssey]] has been released. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Minuet]] Effect - Also useful for the higher-level monsters we are fighting now. Typically, DD have two Minuet on them at any time. 5/5 Minuet merits will translate to an extra +10 attack. With Soul Voice, this is +20 attack. It is even more if they have a third Minuet for zerg situations. Because Minuet is almost always sang, these merits will see a better return in the end. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Madrigal]] Effect - I used to recommend this to everybody. With the addition of [[Reforged Empyrean Armor +2]]/+3, accuracy is plentiful and easy to stack and it is safe to skip Madrigal nowadays. If you need to pop a Madrigal on party members for an evasive NM, your DD really sucks if they rely on these +5 additional accuracy on top of the 114 that Blade Madrigal (with Madrigal+9) provides.

Don’t forget that if you are planning on singing a Madrigal for some kind of boss fight, it only costs a mere 15 merits to max this effect from 0, plus another 15 to put them back into Minuet for one night. You will earn 30 merits back before you realize they are missing.

===Group 2===
[[Troubadour]] - This ability increases your casting time by 1.5x, but also doubles the duration of songs. Adding additional upgrade levels to the ability increases song accuracy. I highly recommend maxing this ability to 5/5. This effect gives you an essential Elemental Seal effect on all songs while the ability is active. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Nightingale]] - This ability decreases your song spellcasting and recast times of songs. Maxing this ability to 5/5 grants all your songs a 100% [[Quick Magic]] effect, and it stacks with [[Troubadour]]. This is a necessity to quickly cast songs and rotate parties in end game content and is a necessity to 5/5. {{color|red|Recommended}}

[[Con Anima]] & [[Con Brio]] - Used to be [[Sirvente]] and [[Dirge]] spells. These new Job Traits are nice as they are calculated in a separate step after [[Damage Taken]], but they are not worth meriting over '''NiTro''' ([[Nightingale]] and [[Troubadour]]). It also means sacrificing your idle head and hand slot to boost these merits with relic pieces, and nobody wants to do that.

==Job Points==
{{Job Point Icon}}

Although you want to max out all categories and attain Master, below are my recommendations on what order to dump your Job Points.

#'''Minuet Effect''' - [[Attack]] +20 per Minuet when maxed. You'll benefit from this bonus during CP parties, so max it first.
#'''Song Accuracy Bonus''' - We are assuming this is the same as [[Magic Accuracy]], just worded differently. No definitive testing has been done, so it is the consensus that this is Magic Accuracy +20.
#'''Requiem Effect''' - DoT +3 per upgrade, for a maximum of an additional +60 DoT per second! This group exponentially raises the DoT of Requiem, turning it from insignificant to a substantial DoT!
#'''Lullaby Duration''' - +20 second duration to [[Lullaby]] when maxed.
#'''Marcato Effect''' - +20 second duration to songs cast when under [[Marcato]] effect. This stacks with all Song+ gear as well as other Job Point categories.
#'''Clarion Call Effect''' - +40 second duration to songs when the ability is active. Greatly extends the duration to Soul Voice songs, as the abilities are generally paired together.
#'''Minne Effect''' - [[Defense]] +20 per [[Minne]] used when maxed.
#'''Tenuto Effect''' - Tenuto, albeit useful, is not as important as maxing as other categories first.
#'''Pianissimo Effect''' - Adds Fast Cast when Pianissimo is active. We max out our Fast Cast in our Precast sets, so this is irrelevant.
#'''Soul Voice Effect''' - Same as above.

==Magic Skill==
Bard has three types of Magic Skills:
*[[Singing Skill]]
*[[Wind Skill]]
*[[String Skill]]
You might be thinking, nobody sings without an instrument. This is true. Singing Skill is combined with either Wind Skill if you are using a Wind instrument, or with String skill if using a string instrument. The combined total skill of the two is what is used in calculating song potency and song offensive accuracy. String skill has a direct effect on the total radius of AoE offensive and defensive songs.

The highest demand song is [[Honor March]] which caps at 900 combined skill. With Job Points it is very easy to reach this, and we do not have to make any gear considerations if you are master. This guide assumes you are. We go further into the great "Skill vs Macc vs CHR" debate later in the debuff sets section.

===Skillup===
If you are under capped once you hit 99, which you probably will be, there is a great way to skillup your three bard skills.

Head to [[Ceizak Battlegrounds]] after getting [[Ionis]]. Find the [[Bight Uragnite]]s on any of the beaches. Equip the type of instrument you need to skill up, and spam your [[Threnody]] songs on the monster. You can rotate between the elements instead of wait for the recast of a single one. Keep the monster slept to avoid any danger of damage. They will not wake up since Threnody does not deal damage. Offensive spells have much quicker skill gains than defensive songs, while also having a much shorter casting time. Note you can also find them in the less popular [[Yahse Hunting Grounds]] if there are none available in Ceizak.

Alternately, Eschan Hpemdes in [[Escha - Ru'Aun]] make good skillup targets. These mobs are [[Aggressive#Passive Aggressive|Passive Aggressive]] where they will aggro players but as long as they do not receive damage they will not attack. Use eschan portal #9 to find these monsters.

Be sure to also look at the [[Skill_Increase_Rate#Methods_of_increasing_the_rate_of_magic_skill_gains|Skill Increase Rate]] page for other easy bonuses to snag. These effects all generally stack on each other.

==[[Master Level]]s==
Master Levels for Bard are beneficial in a couple ways.

*First and foremost, [[Curaga III]] is an enormous boost to our curing capabilities. A well geared and knowledgeable Bard is capable of main curing an [[Odyssey]] segment farming run now. Depending on your party setup, [[White Mage]] is almost a full time sub job now for support situations.
*Extra string skill allows us to hit the next tier of [[Horde Lullaby II]] for one extra yalm AOE range. This does not affect [[Horde Lullaby]], as Bard easily caps that range without any gear. See the [[Lullaby]] section in this guide for details.
*Extra magical skill is also wonderful for song accuracy situations in high end content such as [[Sortie]] basement bosses.
*[[Dagger]] and [[Sword]] skills, as well as overall stat increases are great for damage dealing situations.
*Stat and skill increases help with a defensive aspect.

==Food Options==
'''Magic Accuracy Options:'''

==Songs==
Rather than repeating almost all the information already available on the wiki, please review the [[Song Potency]] page for all the information you need on song strength.

By clicking on a song surname, such as [[Minuet]], you'll be able to see the items and equipment that enhances those songs. All those details are mentioned later too.

As a new bard, you will want to pick up one of the following instruments while working towards your [[Daurdabla]]. Both options give an additional song.

*[[Terpander]]
*[[Blurred Harp]]/+1 – Be aware that these cannot be equipped until you are [[Superior Level]] 2. This is attained after you have allocated 100 total Job Points into [[Bard]].

===Additional Songs Explanation===
There are a few important notes to remember before we get into this.
*[[Clarion Call]] songs always take the '''third song slot'''. Instruments that grant additional songs always take the '''fourth and fifth song slots''', unless [[Clarion Call]] is not active. In that case, they take the '''third and fourth song slots'''.
**The '''purpose of dummy songs''' is that you must apply additional songs with the instrument that ''grants such ability''. Besides the [[Miracle Cheer]], the instruments that provide such songs do not also provide potency to songs. This is where the term "dummy songs" come from, since they are just "placeholders". They are overwritten with full strength songs.
***You only need to sing these "dummy songs" if the party member lost one in some way. Death, dispel, worn off naturally, zoned, etc. Remember that this only applies to that party member. If everyone else has 4 songs, there's no reason to give dummies to everyone. [[Pianissimo]] these back up individually.
**The term "Slot" used in this guide is only for mindset purposes when ''applying songs''. Example: If your "second slot" song is dispelled on a character when they had five songs applied, you cannot simply use [[Daurdabla]] to put it back up since it was your fourth slot song. This situation will overwrite your least duration song. You must have the [[Clarion Call]] effect active to reapply a fifth song (in your "third song slot").
*Songs are not always the same length after applying your midcast set. This is because some songs have more “Song+” than others. Also remember that if you are Job Master, [[Marcato]] also gives duration to whatever song you pair up with it. Usually it is [[Honor March]], so it ends up being naturally a longer duration.
*When you sing a song on a party member who already has their maximum number of songs (regardless of instrument), the song that has the LOWEST duration is always overwritten.
**The one exception to this is if you re-sing a song that is already on that player. In this case, that song is then overwritten because a player cannot have two of the same buff on them. This is regardless of the effect’s remaining duration on that player, or the potency that you are re-singing the song in. '''You will not receive a “has no effect” message''' when you overwrite a song like this.
*Finally, '''do not rely on the Timers plugin for overwriting songs'''. I have had many situations where the plugin timer is incorrect because it did not accurately pick up the gear you were wearing. This is even worse in laggy areas like [[Odyssey]]. The in-game timers feature is much more reliable even though it does not show seconds remaining. Be sure to turn it on in your settings. Even though you will not be able to judge which songs will be overwritten with this plugin, you will at least know full duration songs were put up on your DD since they are usually being sung.
I will create a hypothetical situation to demonstrate how to properly apply a set of 5 songs on your DD, 5 on support, and 5 on your tank.
*Step 1: create "dummies", because we do not have any songs up right now. Sing in any order: Victory March, Honor March, Minuet IV, Minuet V, Knight's Minne V.
**The goal is to get the maximum number of songs you can sing onto your entire party. We also do not want our dummy songs to be stupid. Songs like Paeon and/or Goblin Govotte are pointless. We want to sing useful songs so melee can begin fighting instead of standing around. A 0 potency [[Valor Minuet V]] still grants 124 Attack. It is hard to argue that a 6/tick Paeon is better than that.
**This is where I tell you that your lua should have a toggle to equip either your multi-song instrument or full-strength instruments, while skipping your midcast set. Manually controlling this is less messy as well.
*Step 2: Use [[Nightingale]] + [[Troubadour]]. Sing in this order so your DDs are all buffed first and will have their maximum damage potential: Minuet IV > Minuet V > Minne V > Victory March > Marcato + Honor March.
**Because your songs are typically the same length (if you listen to my advice later in this guide and do not use [[Brioso Slippers +3]] for [[Madrigal]]/[[Prelude]]), we want to sing the songs that we want to overwrite first. This is [[Minuet]] since mages do not need it, and tanks do not usually care about it. By the time you sing all 5 songs on your DD, [[Minuet]] will have the lowest timer by a few seconds compared to the rest.
*Step 3: [[Pianissimo]] Minne IV > [[Pianissimo]] Ballad III on your tank.
**Tank is next in this step. Both songs should overwrite both Minuets on the tank. They will end up with Minne x2, March x2, and Ballad.
*Step 4: [[Pianissimo]] Ballad II > [[Pianissimo]] Ballad III on your supports, repeat or replace these songs with others if needed/requested, such as Etudes.
**Support will end up with March x2, Minne x1, and Ballad x2
**If you are playing a support/healer role rather than offensive role, you may be able to hit just the support and yourself without having to use [[Pianissimo]] in this step. That way you will also receive Ballads.
In situations where a song is dispelled from a party member:
*Step 1: Hit your multi song instrument toggle.
*Step 2: [[Pianissimo]] then Re-sing the song that was dispelled on that person.
*Step 3: Hit your multi song instrument toggle. (You will then be singing with your potency gear/instrument)
*Step 4: [[Pianissimo]] then Re-sing the song that was dispelled on that person. You may have a short recast timer, but it will be negligible if you keep your fast cast gear on for Step 3.

==Job Abilities==
[[Pianissimo]] - This ability allows you to cast a song on a single target. Since all Bard songs are now AoE, this ability lets you easily cast on a single party member instead of isolating them from the group to cast an AoE song. The recast is only 5 seconds, so you can use this ability any time.

[[Tenuto]] - This ability allows you to control what songs always stay on yourself. It is best used with songs such as [[Ballad]] to keep your MP high in main healing situations. The recast is 5 seconds, so again you can use this any time. It is best used before singing songs on other players.

[[Clarion Call]] - Adds an additional song effect. This ability '''always takes the third song slot'''. Keep this in mind when pairing it with [[Daurdabla]] and other multi song effect instruments. These instruments will always take the 4th and/or 5th slots when you have [[Clarion Call]] active. Additionally, keep in mind that it is possible to keep your Clarion Call song on party members indefinitely. After you activate the ability and sing, keep the song active by not letting it wear off. You can then simply continue to overwrite the song until it wears off, the song is dispelled, the player is KO'd, or they change zones.

[[Soul Voice]] - Our ability that doubles song effects. It stacks with any type of "Song+" equipment and Merits.

===Job Ability Enhancement Equipment===
The following three pieces of gear are incredibly nice to have. They offer extensions on the amount of time the following abilities are active. For survivability, it is recommended to use at least the Item Level 119 variants.

{{color|red|Whether your using the +2 augmented piece or the +3 Item Level 119 piece, there is no difference in the strength of the augments on these items. They are all listed here for ‘’clickability’’.}}

[[Soul Voice]] - {{ItemIcon|Brd.

*Extends [[Nightingale]] ’s ability duration by 4 seconds per merit level, for a maximum of 20 additional seconds

==Support Jobs==
Always remember: ‘’shit’s situational’’ when picking your sub job. In today’s game, your sub always depends on the needs of your party with the content you are playing.

[[File:Healer's Cap icon.png|link=]] '''[[White Mage]]'''
*[[Erase]], -na spells, [[Divine Seal]], Curagas, [[Silence]], [[Banish]] spells
Healing can be very beneficial as a Bard. Subbing WHM grants the ability to help your party's healer and keep member’s top notch. With the addition of [[Master Level]]s, [[Curaga III]] gives Bard the ability to be a main healer in [[Odyssey]] Sheol A/B/C farms if properly geared and you can keep Ballad up on yourself.

-na spells and [[Erase]] can be incredibly helpful to have and use on your party if your healer is busy. [[Silence]] should not be disregarded either, as it is pretty easy to land in your debuff set. Landing it helps pull in those pesky casters who decide to stay at a distance and not gather on your tank. Not to mention landing Silence helps prevent your party from getting Sleepga’d.

With the addition of [[Sortie]] and the [[King Ranperre's Tomb]] [[Locus]] monsters , we are once again fighting a significant amount of Undead monsters again. Being able to [[Banish]] monsters as Bard can significantly help your party kill more efficiently. Bard even has four pieces of [[Banish]]+ enhancing gear that they can equip.

<hr />

[[File:Duelist's Chapeau icon.png|link=]] '''[[Red Mage]]'''
*[[Fast Cast]], [[Convert]], [[Phalanx]], [[Frazzle]], [[Distract]], [[Silence]]
[[Fast Cast]] is not as beneficial anymore these days with how easy it is to reach the cap for Bard. [[Convert]] has some good utility, but you will not have curaga access which is typically more beneficial. You will also be missing out on -na spells and [[Erase]]. You will also have access to [[Frazzle]], [[Distract]], and [[Silence]]. With your high Magic Accuracy set, it is relatively easy to land these. They could be significant to help on NMs if you do not have a [[Red Mage]] in the group to land the Tier II versions of the spells.

[[Phalanx]] is by far the best reason to sub [[Red Mage]]. It may certainly keep you alive during [[Dynamis - Divergence]]/[[Omen]]/[[Sortie]] pulling/sleeping. I recommended acquiring a [[Phalanx]]+ set via the [[Dark Matter]] [[Adventurer Campaigns]] on a set of Chironic gear.

<hr />

[[File:Dancer's Tiara icon.png|link=]] '''[[Dancer]]''' / [[File:Ninja Hatsuburi icon.png|link=]] '''[[Ninja]]'''
*[[Dual Wield]], [[Utsusemi]]
Ninja grants [[Dual Wield|Dual Wield III]] delay reduction and shadows. [[Utsusemi]] might have legitimate utility in some situations, but they are few and far between anymore.

[[Dancer]] gives things like [[Steps]], [[Sambas]], and [[Waltz]]es that may be a legitimate way to keep your party alive while also being able to dish out damage if your party needs a little more.

<hr />

[[File:Fighter's Mask icon.png|link=]] '''[[Warrior]]'''
*[[Double Attack]], [[Berserk]], [[Aggressor]]

Bard has [[Fencer|Fencer II]], but the effect is negligible with [[TP Bonus]] +300 and [[Critical Hit Rate]] +5%.

<hr />

[[File:Gallant Coronet icon.png|link=]] '''[[Paladin]]'''
*[[Sentinel]], [[Defense Bonus III]]
Paired up with your DT sets, this gives [[Bard]] an option for pulling in [[Omen]] and [[Odyssey]] without getting immediately slaughtered. The downside is that you need to make a rule in your LUA file to lock your DT set, or else you will die if you pull and switch to precast/midcast.

Don’t spend too much time trying to augment your armor. Your time is better spent getting into [[Sortie]] with a DD job and working towards your [[Fili Attire Set +2]].

}}

This set is overkill on damage taken reduction, so feel free to swap some accessories around.

'''Hands'''

[[Volte Gloves]] and [[Volte Bracers]] are both good options for this set if you are lucky enough to have a pair of either.
If not, stick with [[Fili Manchettes +2]].

'''Main/Ranged'''

Only the instruments can get Regen, and only the dagger can get Refresh. Both get PDT, so swap depending what you prefer.
Dark stone augments overall suck, so I just throw on HP/MP. I have not yet gotten PDT-5 on the Linos. I am not entirely sure it is
possible. -4 is sufficient, as your only missing 1% now with the rest of the set.

'''''Ideal Idle'''''

}}
'''Body'''
The [[Ashera Harness]] has lost its shine due to so many other - Damage Taken options we have post 2022 FFXI, some of which have higher MDB and base stats. While the [[Volte Doublet]] offers solid Magic Evasion, MDB, as well as Refresh, it is hard to get just like the [[Ashera Harness]]. I recommend sticking with [[Inyanga Jubbah +2]] until you get the Ashera or Volte Doublet. The Paralyze resistance on Ashera is nothing to scoff at. Additionally, the [[Bunzi's Robe]] has the highest [[Magic Evasion]]/[[INT]]/MDB combo available.

'''Stats for the above set'''
*Damage Taken -52%
*Magic Evasion +701
*Evasion+476~+486
*Refresh +1
*Regen +9
| width=600px valign=top rowspan=5 | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
I am going to list a new 99 set, experienced set, and my ideal set with additional armor considerations. Work towards the "Ideal" set, starting with the set on the top of the section with each slot. There is a lot of flexibility here, so feel free to make a combination of all these sets and options that suits you the best. Regardless of your choices, your focus for your Idle set should be the following order:
#Damage Taken
#Physical Damage Taken - Add up your Damage Taken, and supplement Physical Damage Taken to hit the '''50.0% cap'''.
#Magical Damage Taken - Add up your Damage Taken, and supplement Magical Damage Taken to hit the '''50.0% cap'''. Technically you only need 31% MDT if you have [[Shell V]] on you. That being said, I would still wear my MDT items regardless because of the Magic Evasion even when aiming for 31%.
#Magic Evasion - Never underestimate this stat. Stacking it on top of, and in conjunction with DT will cause you to resist many status ailments and take next to no magical damage.
#Magic Defense Bonus - A less understood stat, but still nice to have.
#Refresh
#Everything else, such as Regen

<hr>
''Weapon and Shields'' 
I was extremely excited for the {{ItemIcon|Daybreak|24}} [[Daybreak]] when it was first added to the game. I soon found that when switching gear, you blink on every action and lockstyle no longer works worth a damn. Sure, you can say everyone should be using BlinkMeNot but I rather not die from someone who doesn't use it fail to cure me when pulling in Dynamis. I stick to daggers in my sets on this page. Feel free to use the [[Daybreak]], as it is an amazing club with the very high Magic Evasion available on a weapon as well as [[Refresh]].

Dagger main hand options that have beneficial idle set stats:
*{{ItemIcon|Ipetam|24}} [[Ipetam]] - [[Evasion]]+22, {{Aug}} Max:
**Snow: [[Magic Evasion]]+15
**Leaf: Physical Damage Taken -4-5% '''OR''' Magical Damage Taken -4-5% '''OR''' Refresh+1
**Dusk: HP & MP +30~40
*{{ItemIcon|Skinflayer|24}} [[Skinflayer]] - [[Evasion]]+22, {{Aug}} Physical Damage Taken -3%
*{{ItemIcon|Odium|24}} [[Odium]] - [[Evasion]]+13, [[Magic Evasion]]+13, and [[Death]] resistance.
*{{ItemIcon|Nibiru Knife|24}} [[Nibiru Knife]] - [[Evasion]]+29, {{Aug}} Path D: [[Magic Evasion]]+20
*{{ItemIcon|Sangoma|24}} [[Sangoma]] - [[Evasion]]+22, [[Refresh]]+1, [[Regen]] +1
*{{ItemIcon|Kali|24}} [[Kali]] - Path C gives [[Refresh]] +1
*{{ItemIcon|Barfawc|24}} [[Barfawc]] - Very expensive, but if you can afford it then go for it. It will provide Damage Taken -12% with four songs up, as your songs are always up. You can make multiple other equipment swaps if you have this dagger.
*{{ItemIcon|Chocobo Knife|24}} [[Chocobo Knife]] - Wonderful option if you are lucky enough to win one, and actually choose that weapon compared to other picks from the [[Mog Bonanza]].
*{{ItemIcon|Nibiru Harp|24}} [[Nibiru Harp]] - Path D has Magic Evasion +20, PDT -3% and MDT-3%. Again, you will blink if you use this as your idle piece. Just keep that in mind.

There are only three Item Level shields for Bard to consider.
*{{ItemIcon|Genmei Shield|24}} [[Genmei Shield]]
**Even if you do not need the PDT, still has the highest Shield Skill for Bard along with block chance +6.
*{{ItemIcon|Ammurapi Shield|24}} [[Ammurapi Shield]]
**INT+13 and MND+13 to add to your dSTATS. Not much else for Idle.
*{{ItemIcon|Culminus|24}} [[Culminus]]
**[[SIRD]] 10% if you are looking for a build. Highest HP and MP for shield choices.

''Armor Considerations'' 

*{{ItemIcon|Nyame Helm|24}} [[Nyame Armor Set]]
**The reason I do not want to put these pieces in the "Ideal" set is due to how much HP+ is on them. While at first glance this seems like a good thing, you will almost always dip down below 75% HP with your gear changes. Not only is this annoying for your healers, it is dangerous in situations where adds could aggro low HP.
*{{ItemIcon|Culminus|24}} [[Culminus]]
**HP and MP on this piece, as well as spell interruption down. Decent alternative to Genmei Shield if you have Odyssey armor, but you will lose the Successful Block+6.
*{{ItemIcon|Fili Calot +3|24}} [[Fili Attire Set +3]]
**Wonderful defensive set with -[[Damage Taken]] and +[[Magic Evasion]]. Feet offer Movement Speed +18%. You can add in the body for an additional +5 [[Regen]] if you really want to, as long as you make up the DT elsewhere.
*{{ItemIcon|Bihu Roundlet +3|24}} [[Bihu Attire Set +3]]
**Decent Magic Evasion, but PDT only.
*{{ItemIcon|Inyanga Tiara +2|24}} [[Inyanga Armor Set|Inyanga Armor Set +2]]
**High Magic Evasion, but MDT only.
*{{ItemIcon|Chironic Hat|24}} [[:Category:Escha_Rewards#Reisenjima|Chironic Attire Set]]
**Need to be lucky with augments, but they could be really good pieces. Lower Magic Evasion and it cannot be augmented higher.
*{{ItemIcon|Mousai Turban +1|24}} [[Mousai Attire Set +1]]
**Very high Magic Evasion on pieces, but not much else for idle. Also does not compare to Fili +2, which is not hard to get. OK stepping stone if NQ available on the AH.
*{{ItemIcon|Volte Cap|24}} [[Dynamis_-_Jeuno_(D)|Dynamis - Divergence Jeuno]] Volte Set
**Treasure Hunter, high Magic Evasion, and Status Ailment resistances. Usually not worth going out of your way to obtain anymore these days.
*{{ItemIcon|Volte Beret|24}} [[Dynamis_-_San_d'Oria_(D)|Dynamis - Divergence San d'Oria]] Volte Set
**Refresh and high Magic Evasion. Usually not worth going out of your way to obtain anymore these days.
*{{ItemIcon|Gende. Caubeen +1|24}} [[:Category:Skirmish_Armor#Gendewitha_Armor_Set_.2B1|Gendiwitha Attire Set +1]]
**Obtainable early with Kupons, and offers decent starter -DT options.

''Earrings'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +1|24}} [[Fili Earring +1]]/[[Fili Earring +2|+2]]
**Large amount of [[Damage Taken]]. The +1 version can receive -3% up to -5%. The +2 can get a massive -6% up to -8%. Due to the odds of getting a max stat +2 earring, I am not adding it to any sets here. If you are lucky enough to get a [[Fili Earring +2|+2]] with Damage Taken -8%, you can replace your [[Defending Ring]] with other options. Good alternatives include {{ItemIcon|Warden's Ring|24}} [[Warden's Ring]] or {{ItemIcon|Woltaris Ring +1|24}} [[]] if you happened to have chosen it.
*{{ItemIcon|Sanare Earring|24}} [[Sanare Earring]]
**Magic Evasion as well as Magic Defense Bonus. Cant beat that.
*{{ItemIcon|Odnowa Earring +1|24}} [[Odnowa Earring +1]] {{Aug}}
**The {{Aug}} gives DEF +30 and Damage Taken -3%. The disadvantage is 100 MP is quite a lot to change over.
*{{ItemIcon|Ethereal Earring|24}} [[Ethereal Earring]]
**The MP Recovered effect stacks with Flume Belt +1. These items do not reduce AND convert damage taken, simply only convert it.
*{{ItemIcon|Eabani Earring|24}} [[Eabani Earring]]
**HP, Evasion, and Magic Evasion all in one.
*{{ItemIcon|Etiolation Earring|24}} [[Etiolation Earring]]
**HP/MP and Resist Silence if you like that kinda thing. MDT if you need it.

''Neck'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Loricate Torque +1|24}} [[Loricate Torque +1]]
**Damage Taken if you do not have enough elsewhere yet.
*{{ItemIcon|Warder's Charm +1|24}} [[Warder's Charm +1]]
** Additional Magic Damage nullified. Stacks with [[Shadow Ring]].

''Waist'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Flume Belt +1|24}} [[Flume Belt +1]]
**Not a horrible choice for a small MP regeneration source.
***Only replace the {{ItemIcon|Carrier's Sash|24}} [[Carrier's Sash]] with this if you are using {{ItemIcon|Warder's Charm +1|24}} [[Warder's Charm +1]] instead! You need one or the other to push up your [[Magic Evasion]] for resists.

''Back'' 
*{{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]]
**You can pick a different Resin augment rather than PDT/MDT/DT if you have enough in other slots. I recommend Magic Evasion (+15), Defense (+50) or Status Ailment Resistance (+10).

| width=600px valign=top | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
The entire goal of a precast set is to have fast songs, but at the same time your swapping does not get you killed within that few second window when you are switching gear from idle, to precast, to midcast, and safely back to idle. Combined [[Fast Cast]] & [[Song Spellcasting Time]] stack with each other and cap at an overall -80%. Job traits are included in this cap.

These sets attempt to optimize Fast Cast, while at the same time using the best DT/PDT/MDT/MEVA gear to keep you alive when running in close to the enemy. Make it a priority to upgrade to Item Level 119 equipment as soon as possible as the extra stats help you to survive in events such as [[Ambuscade]].
<hr>
''Weapon and Shield'' 
The best [[Bard]] options for Fast Cast is the {{ItemIcon|Kali|24}} [[Kali]] and the {{ItemIcon|Vampirism|24}} [[Vampirism]]. Neither augment options on these daggers are of much benefit to Fast Cast sets, so they are not a big deal if they are maxed or not. Although harder to get, the {{ItemIcon|Sangoma|24}} [[Sangoma]] is a great alternative as it adds +1 [[Regen]] and +1 [[Refresh]] but only 4% Fast Cast. You do not get much benefit from those bonuses, however, as it is only equipped for a short time unless you use it for your idle set.

It is possible to cap at 80% without having to switch your main hand weapon, so if you can do that it is ideal to save your TP.

Bard only receives two options for defensive shields. Even if it is not item level tier, the {{ItemIcon|Genbu's Shield|24}} [[Genbu's Shield]] is a great first or returner shield with the PDT-10% offered on it. The Item Level equivalent is the {{ItemIcon|Genmei Shield|24}} [[Genmei Shield]] which offers good defense and -10% PDT as well.

''Head'' 
{{ItemIcon|Fili Calot +2|24}} [[Fili Calot +2]] offers the highest value of Fast Cast/Song Spellcasting Time down and now -Damage Taken. You'll also need the piece for other reasons, so work towards getting it. It should be your first Fili +2 piece you upgrade.

''Body'' 
The {{ItemIcon|Inyanga Jubbah|24}} [[Inyanga Jubbah]]'s final form is one of two of the best options for you "ideal" set. The {{ItemIcon|Inyanga Jubbah +2|24}} [[Inyanga Jubbah +2]] has a large MDT -8% on it with 14% Fast Cast. The {{ItemIcon|Brioso Justau. +3|24}} [[Brioso Justaucorps +3]] has Song spellcasting time -15%, but has other uses so you will still need it but not as a priority for Precast.

''Hands'' 
Due to the ease of obtaining a piece of Yorcia Skirmish Armor with a [[Kupon A-SYW]], the {{ItemIcon|Gende. Gages +1|24}} [[Gende. Gages +1]] will take you all the way to "Ideal". Obtaining perfect augments is difficult. You will always obtain PDT- and some form of additional stat. If you obtain Song Spellcasting Time -5%, take it regardless of the other stats. Although perfect stats are nice, you only use these hands for a limited time for precast, and our main focus is capping your Fast Cast.

''Legs'' 
Get the {{ItemIcon|Orvail Pants +1|24}} [[Orvail Pants +1]] as soon as you complete the 1-119 guide. After that the main options for legs are the {{ItemIcon|Ayanmo Cosciales|24}} [[Ayanmo Cosciales]] at first and quickly upgrade them to {{ItemIcon|Aya. Cosciales +2|24}} [[Ayanmo Cosciales +2]]. Work on [[Domain Invasion]] to get yourself the {{ItemIcon|Kaykaus Tights|24}} [[Kaykaus Tights]] or {{ItemIcon|Kaykaus Tights +1|24}} [[Kaykaus Tights +1]] if you can afford them. Another option is {{ItemIcon|Gende. Spats +1|24}} [[Gende. Spats +1]], although harder to get and your better off using your Kupon on the Gages instead. Augmenting them with an additional -5% casting time makes them a strong contender for "ideal". The final option, albeit very difficult to obtain, is the {{ItemIcon|Volte Brais|24}} [[Volte Brais]]. Putting these in allows you some leniency elsewhere. Thank you [https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/35597/you-spoony-guide-a-troubadours-libretto/61/#3647690 Asura.Jokes] for the tip.

''Feet'' 
Due to the ease of obtaining a piece of Allouvion Skirmish Armor with a [[Kupon A-ASYW]], I listed {{ItemIcon|Telchine Pigaches|24}} [[Telchine Pigaches]] here as a mid set option. If you choose another option with that Kupon, the {{ItemIcon|Bihu Slippers +1|24}} [[Bard's Slippers +1]] or [[Fili Cothurnes +2]] are your goal until you can get Telchine from Skirmish another way. The other option is {{ItemIcon|Bihu Slippers +3|24}} [[Bihu Slippers +3]]. For "ideal" after maxing your augment, your looking at +3% Fast Cast/+5 Magic Evasion with Telchine, vs +5% PDT with Slippers. After taking augment cost into account, you may be spending more on maxing Telchine based on your luck than making Bihu +3 feet. Once you can afford the upgrade, get the [[Fili Cothurnes +3]].

''Earrings'' 
There are only four options for your Precast set. The easiest two earrings to obtain are the {{ItemIcon|Loquac. Earring|24}} [[Loquacious Earring]] (2% Fast Cast) if you have [[Limbus]] access, and the {{ItemIcon|Aoidos' Earring|24}} [[Aoidos' Earring]]. Your other two options are the expensive, but purchasable right away {{ItemIcon|Enchntr. Earring +1|24}} [[Enchntr. Earring +1]] and the {{ItemIcon|Etiolation Earring|24}} [[Etiolation Earring]]. The Etiolation is only 1% Fast Cast when all other earrings are 2%. It does offer Magic damage taken -3% and Resist Silence +15, making it double as a great Idle piece.
If you cap out your set at 81%, throw in your [[Fili Earring +1]]/[[Fili Earring +2|+2]] for extra survivability in your precast. If you do not have it do not fret. Keep any other DT piece on if you are capped.

''Rings'' 
As with every other job, Bard makes wonderful use of the {{ItemIcon|Defending Ring|24}} [[Defending Ring]]. In fact, it is just about a full time piece for the job. Begin your quest to get one for yourself right after hitting 99. For the other slot, the {{ItemIcon|Prolix Ring|24}} [[Prolix Ring]] is a good start, and can be purchased right away. Otherwise your only other worthwile option is the {{ItemIcon|Kishar Ring|24}} [[Kishar Ring]] from [[Omen]] midboss.

''Back'' 
[[Ambuscade]] capes are just too good and available not to recommend early on. When making your {{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]] there is nothing else that should be tempting in the [[Abdhaljs Sap]] category other than Fast Cast for you to choose, so this will save an inventory slot by just reusing your idle cape.

''Waist'' 
{{ItemIcon|Aoidos' Belt|24}} [[Aoidos' Belt]] is the easiest Fast Cast item to get for the slot, followed by {{ItemIcon|Embla Sash|24}} [[Embla Sash]] from [[Domain Invasion]]. If you do not need further Fast Cast, the best defensive option is {{ItemIcon|Flume Belt +1|24}} [[Flume Belt +1]] (or NQ) for PDT. You may be asking where the {{ItemIcon|Witful Belt|24}} [[Witful Belt]] is. I do not like [[Quick Magic]] because of situations where you may lag, Gearswap will not put on your duration+ gear quick enough. This will cause you to have to recast the song that did not get boosted effects. I prefer to keep capped Fast Cast so I know how long my songs will take to cast.
|}

===Midcast - Songs===
{| width=1200px |
| width=600px valign=top | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
Your goal for your midcast set is to boost your songs first and foremost with any available "''Song+''" or "''All Song''+" gear that is accessible. The second objective is to stack as much song effect duration as possible in other slots, but at the same time keeping your songs somewhat similar in maximum length.

The equipment sets here do not incorporate much of the "''Song+''" gear, with the exception of the {{ItemIcon|Moonbow Whistle|24}} [[Moonbow Whistle]].

There is no known cap on either Song Duration or "''Song+''" gear. The only limitation is how much is available in the game and obtaining said pieces.

See the [[Song Potency]] page here on BGWiki for details on Song Potency and items that increase that potency. For the most part, they are all mentioned here but without details found on other wiki pages such as strength of the songs.

The "Set" bonus on Bard's Empyrean armor is often overlooked. It offers small stat bonuses based on the element of the song that is sung, and stacks with subsequent songs. See [[Fili Attire Set]] for details on that.

'''''Blank Slots'''''

The slots here that do not have anything equipped should carry over from your Precast sets. I left them open as no beneficial effects can be gained for Midcast purposes, so the idea is to keep your DT gear equipped in those slots until you can reach the "Ideal" tier in any particular slot. You should easily hit 900 skill naturally once you obtain Job Master, so there is no need to consider skill for party buff songs.

====Song Specific Swaps====
As found on the [[Song Potency]] page, swapping in "''Song+''" gear increases the potency and duration of appropriate songs. Besides instruments, the gear below helps increase potency. As far as Instruments, you will want to work towards your {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn (Level 99)|24}} [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]]. It is not nearly as expensive as it was in the past. Not many songs can reach +4 with other instruments, and your inventory will love you.

For a beginner instrument, pick up an [[Eminent Flute]]. Also buy yourself a {{ItemIcon|Linos|24}} [[Linos]] with your [[Kupon W-ASCC]]. Work towards either a {{ItemIcon|Linos|24}} [[Linos]] {{Aug}} Augment of All Songs +2 resulting in All Songs +3, or your {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn (Level 99)|24}} [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]]. The {{ItemIcon|Linos|24}} [[Linos]] can receive an All Songs+2 augment, but it can cost as much as a base {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn (Level 99)|24}} [[Gjallarhorn]] if you are unlucky.

*[[Image:Ballad_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Ballad]], I '''do not recommend''' swapping in {{ItemIcon|Fili Rhingrave|24}} [[Fili Rhingrave]]/+1/+2/+3, even though it offers another tick of ballad. The reasoning is that [[Inyanga Shalwar +2]] needs to be swapped out for that 1 MP/tick ballad. Doing this causes problems overwriting correct songs on your mages, because the shortest duration song is the one overwritten, and when you use the [[Fili Rhingrave]]/+1/+2/+3, it is always Ballad. While it is still possible to do, you will be lowering your other song durations too much to compensate. This will not let you ride Nitro to Nitro comfortably. In laggy situations like Odyssey or Dynamis, some songs will probably end up dropping off, forcing you to bust out your Daurdabla again to put them back up. If we happen to get another Ballad+ tier somewhere in the future, this situation will change and [[Fili Rhingrave]]/+1/+2/+3 might be recommended again.
*[[Image:Minne_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Minne]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mou. Seraweels +1|24}} [[Mousai Seraweels +1]] - If you do not have the +1, do not bother. You will run into the same problem as Ballad above since this is the leg slot. These legs are good, buy them and max out your [[Minne]] merits to 5/5.
*[[Image:Minuet_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Minuet]], no swap required, {{ItemIcon|Fili Hongreline|24}} [[Fili Hongreline]]/+1/+2/+3 already grants +1.
*[[Image:Madrigal_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Madrigal]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]], and {{ItemIcon|Fili Calot|24}} [[Fili Calot]]/+1/+2/+3 already grants +1. For Madrigal, I also recommend swapping your [[Fili Cothurnes]]/+1/+2/+3 in '''instead of''' your [[Brioso Slippers +3]]. This is because you get an extra +1 from your [[Intarabus's Cape]] vs other songs, so Madrigal is naturally longer than the rest. Like Ballad above, this will cause problems overwriting the songs if your mages get hit by them. PS: You will also give your melee an extra DEX due to the set bonus, which usually results in another +1 Accuracy too! Yay!
*[[Image:Prelude_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Prelude]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Intarabus's Cape|24}} [[Intarabus's Cape]]. For Prelude, like Madrigal above, I also recommend swapping your [[Fili Cothurnes]]/+1/+2/+3 in '''instead of''' your [[Brioso Slippers +3]]. This is because you get an extra +1 from your [[Intarabus's Cape]] vs other songs, so Prelude is naturally longer than the rest. Like Ballad above, this will cause problems overwriting the songs if your mages get hit by them.
*[[Image:March_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[March]], no swap required, {{ItemIcon|Fili Manchettes|24}} [[Fili Manchettes]]/+1/+2/+3 already grants +1.
**Although you need to sing [[Honor March]] with the {{ItemIcon|Marsyas|24}} [[Marsyas]], you can still swap in the hands, and they will boost the song. Honor March will be your longest song because of the Marsyas duration bonus, which is OK. I usually pair it with [[Marcato]]. It also benefits mages with the [[Magic Haste]] it gives. Because it is the longest song you have, you have less worry about overwriting it.
*[[Image:Scherzo_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Scherzo]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Fili Cothurnes|24}} [[Fili Cothurnes]]/+1/+2/+3
*[[Image:Carol_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Carol]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Gages|24}} [[Mousai Gages]]/+1
*[[Image:Mambo_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Mambo]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Crackows|24}} [[Mousai Crackows]]/+1
*[[Image:Etude_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Etude]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Turban|24}} [[Mousai Turban]]/+1
*[[Image:Paeon_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Paeon]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Brioso Roundlet|24}} [[Brioso Roundlet]]/+1/+2/+3

{{color|red|Note:}} There are additional swaps for offensive spells, but this section is only for party buff songs. Other party songs not mentioned here do not have any additional equipment modifiers.

====Carnwenhan====
The {{ItemIcon|Carnwenhan|24}} [[Carnwenhan]] is a wonderful weapon for [[Bard]]. It is Bard’s [[Mythic Weapon]], and the main benefit gained from the weapon is its '''Increases song effect duration V''' stat. This extends song duration by 50% of the original amount. Party buff songs, which normally last for 3 minutes flat with no bonuses, turn into 4 minutes 30 seconds. "''Song+''" equipment as well as Song Effect Duration gear extends this time further. The "V" tier is gained from the Level 99 version and does not get higher after that. You will still want at least the 119 III version though, as it is also the best option for offensive spells. These are discussed further in the next section.
====Miracle Cheer====
The newest instrument for Bard, the {{ItemIcon|Miracle Cheer|24}} [[Miracle Cheer]], only comes from the [[Mog Bonanza]]. At first glance, this instrument seems inferior to [[Gjallarhorn]]. While it is indeed +1 song potency less, songs put up with this instrument are all set to a straight 15-minute duration. It does not stack with other Song Duration gear, so this means you do not need the [[Carnwenhan]] for party buffs when you are using this instrument.

This instrument’s main appeal is when you use it in conjunction with [[Soul Voice]]. You are able to have a [[Soul Voice]] duration of around 18-18.25 minutes for your entire party. Now compare this to Soul Voice without this instrument. Your song duration would be around 14-15 minutes. To achieve 18 minute songs with a [[Miracle Cheer]], a Bard would use Soul Voice and Clarion Call to then put up all of their songs. After about 3 minutes, reapply songs before your Soul Voice wears off. [[Soul Voice]] lasts for 3.5 minutes with the Relic +2 body’s +30 second effect, and it will should take around 20 seconds to reapply songs on your party. You will still need to use NiTro with [[Honor March]] before SV wears off.

If you manage to have your abilities reset during your event via [[Corsair]], your party will then have 36.5 minutes of Soul Voice. That is more than half of one [[Sortie]] run, or an entire [[Odyssey]] farm run if no deaths or dispels occur in either. That additional time where you do not need to recast Soul Voice could mean the difference between winning a short 15 minute Sheol Gaol boss.

The two downsides of this instrument are the +1 less potency you have for songs, and [[Honor March]] will still be shorter than your other songs since you need to cast it with [[Marsyas]]. I have broken down song potency below to compare both instruments with maximum potency attainable and Soul Voice active. Merits are not accounted for in the examples below.

Not missing much huh?

If you do not have [[Soul Voice]] up, then I would stick with [[Gjallarhorn]]+[[Carnwenhan]]. It is worth mentioning that [[Miracle Cheer]] does solve the problem with Ballad having a lower duration than other songs. I talk about this issue in the song specific swaps section.

Singing non-Soul Voiced songs with a combination of both instruments will allow you to manipulate which songs will not be overwritten. For instance, if you put up Ballad on your tank with the [[Miracle Cheer]], subsequent songs will not overwrite it if sung with the [[Gjallarhorn]].

====Loughnashade (Prime Horn)====
At first glance, the {{ItemIcon|Loughnashade (Level 119 III)|24}} [[Loughnashade (Level 119 III)]] seems to totally replace the [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]] and the [[Daurdabla (Level 99)]]. While their primary uses are condensed into one new instrument, the originals still have purposes.

The [[Daurdabla (Level 99)]] can still be used as a great AoE [[Horde Lullaby II]] instrument. The [[Gjallarhorn (Level 99)]] also has skill+ that the Loughnashade is missing, solidifying it's throne as the best debuff instrument.

It is yet to be seen how strong the new song Aria of Passion will be.

The {{ItemIcon|Loughnashade (Incomplete)|24}} [[Loughnashade (Incomplete)]] is worth purchasing one because it is an easy way to quickly wake yourself up from [[Sleep]]!

===Midcast - Lullaby===
{| width=1200px |
| width=600px valign=top | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
''Before we begin this section, Bard's String Skill Cap as Job Master with 8/8 String Merits is '''425'''. This does not include Master Levels. Keep that number in mind, as we will be discussing it at length.''

For content such as [[Dynamis Divergence]], [[Odyssey]], and [[Sortie]], you should be using a String Instrument for sleeps. String instruments have a naturally wide AoE compared to Wind Instrument's fixed AoE. The range you have depends directly on ONLY your String Instrument Skill. Duration is less important in this content, as monsters will usually be attacked by party members before they naturally wake up from your song duration expiring. This is usually true even if it is shorter.

*'''[[Horde Lullaby|Horde Lullaby I]]''' has an 8 yalm radius, centered around the target you cast on, at a pitiful 154 String Skill. Singing Skill has no affect for Lullaby AoE. This being said, it is best to cast that song in '''maximum Magic Accuracy''' equipment most of the time. For situations where you need longer sleeps or when you use 5/5 [[Troubadour]], it is best to use maximum duration.
*'''[[Horde Lullaby II]]''' is a different story. In order to attain the maximum radius of 8 yalms, centered around the target you cast on, you need an estimated 648 String Skill. This is currently impossible to obtain, so instead we aim for String Skill level 567 for the next highest radius of 7 yalms. This skill number includes natural skill, assumes you have maximum string skill merits, have some master levels, and all your midcast equipment up to par.
*{{color|red|Note:}} Single target Lullaby songs should be cast with {{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn|24}} [[Gjallarhorn]] or {{ItemIcon|Marsyas|24}} [[Marsyas]] for maximum Magic Accuracy and Duration. There is no point to cast single target songs with a harp.

The downside to String is that there is a naturally higher resist rate on your songs. With high end magic accuracy equipment this drawback is negligible and rarely makes a difference in the modern era of the game. The only time you ''might'' see a change is on high level Notorious Monsters, which are rarely susceptible to sleep anyway. In this case you would be obtaining 100% magic accuracy with your 5/5 [[Troubadour]] ability.

Options for [[Lullaby]] with String Instruments include:
*{{ItemIcon|Blurred Harp +1|24}} [[Blurred Harp +1]] - This instrument has "All Songs +2" '''AND''' [[Lullaby]] +2, resulting in the same strength sleeps as [[Gjallarhorn]].
*{{ItemIcon|Blurred Harp|24}} [[Blurred Harp]] - Same as above, but only grants "All Songs +1", so slightly less duration and accuracy as +1.
*{{ItemIcon|Daurdabla|24}} [[Daurdabla]] - +30% Duration, no [[Lullaby]]+ statistic, but a large chunk of String Skill.

Options for [[Lullaby]] with Wind Instruments include:
*{{ItemIcon|Gjallarhorn|24}} [[Gjallarhorn]] - Great MACC, naturally higher Wind accuracy, and All Songs +4. Only downside is not as wide of an AoE range.
*{{ItemIcon|Marsyas|24}} [[Marsyas]] - +50% Song Duration. Technically this is more than [[Gjallarhorn]], but less accuracy and the same narrow AoE range. Macc is irrelevant if you are using 5/5 [[Troubadour]].

{{color|red|Note:}} To obtain String Skill level 486 for Horde Lullaby II 6 Yalm AoE with the "All Lullaby NOT Horde II" set below while using {{ItemIcon|Blurred Harp +1|24}} [[Blurred Harp +1]], you must have Master Level 12. If you do not have Master Level 12 yet, alternatives to the set below include {{ItemIcon|Harfner's Sash|24px}} [[Harfner's Sash]] and {{ItemIcon|Gersemi Earring|24px}} [[Gersemi Earring]] (instead of Dignitary's). Be sure to look at your Magic Skill menu with your midcast to ensure you are at least at String Skill 486.

| width=600px valign=top rowspan=5 | '''''Explanation and Reasoning'''''
<hr>
For song debuffs you want to focus on the following stats in your sets:
*[[Charisma]]
*[[Magic Accuracy]]
*[[Wind Instrument Skill]] & [[Singing Skill]]
*[[Song Effect Duration]]

CHR vs Magic Accuracy vs Wind/Singing Skill has never been solidified as to what stat is "the best" for Bard. Charisma seems to matter the most when the enemy is of significantly higher level. Remember that you can also cast [[Bewitching Etude]] on yourself for a quick amount of CHR, but you cannot pull MACC or Skill out of nowhere. The "ideal" set here offers the best CHR/MACC/Skill/Duration combination available.
Many people do not realize that Song Duration also applies to debuffs. That being said, it is wonderful to have your {{ItemIcon|Carnwenhan|24}} [[Carnwenhan]] for this set. Not only for Magic Accuracy but also for debuff durations.

'''''Enfeebles'''''

Notably, [[Silence]] is an enfeebling spell that Bards will cast quite a lot. This is especially true in [[Dynamis - Divergence]]. With our insanely high [[Magic Accuracy]] that we can obtain on our gear, we have a very high ability to silence a lot of enemies.

These sets are also what I recommend for progressing in your offensive enfeebles, except you can obviously put in a ranged or ammo piece. You can use your [[Fast Cast]] [[Linos]] and add Magic Accuracy +15 or more to it with [[Snowdim Stone]]s.

Remember, use [[Wind Threnody II]] before casting Silence. This will help you and your group's odds.
<hr>
''Weapon'' 
The {{ItemIcon|Kali|24}} [[Kali]] will do great for a long time; indefinitley if you do not create a Mythic. There are runner ups, such: Max {{Aug}} {{ItemIcon|Malevolence|24}} [[Malevolence]], {{ItemIcon|Tauret|24}} [[Tauret]], and {{ItemIcon|Barfawc|24}} [[Barfawc]] but they do not have the Song Duration +5% as the Kali does. '''Remember Song Duration+ affects debuffs too!'''

Your weapon is an obvious choice for Best in Slot. Augmenting your mythic only benefits you further, but it is expensive. Afterglow Horn offers zero benefit, so do not bother.

''Shield'' 
The [[Genbu's Shield]] is easy to get and can be Augmented. If you do not have a steady Omen group that can kill bosses, the {{ItemIcon|Ammurapi Shield|24}} [[Ammurapi Shield]] might be far off for you. If this is the case, I recommend trying to augment your {{ItemIcon|Genbu's Shield|24}} [[Genbu's Shield]] with [[Tatter and Scrap Synergy]]. The Genbu's Shield will last you until your Ammurapi.

''Head/Body/Hands/Legs/Feet'' 
Even though Inyanga is technically not "New 99 Bard", there are no other sets worthwhile for Debuffs. The NQ or +1 set should be your first goal, as it will be upgraded to +2 eventually.

The Inyanga +2 set will treat you well until you get into Omen and upgrade your Artifact gear. It will also double as a few slots for your Idle sets.

Bard is lucky when it comes to our [[Reforged Artifact Armor +3]]. The job benefits greatly from the Set bonus, as well as just how great the stats are. Paring both up makes these pieces a must have for anyone who is serious about gearing up. With the addition of [[Reforged Empyrean Armor +3]], the body/hands/legs have been replaced. Even though we lose two set bonuses, the benefits outweigh the losses. This also allows us to use the Regal Earring to regain a set bonus tier and remain at 3/5.

''Earrings'' 
With the addition of the {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +2|24}} [[Fili Earring +2]], our earring choices change around quite a bit. I recommend swapping out the {{ItemIcon|Regal Earring|24}} [[Regal Earring]], since you are only receiving dCHR +10 as the Set bonus caps at 5 for [[Reforged Artifact Armor +3]]. Even a low augment {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +1|24}} [[Fili Earring +1]] beats it out. If you only have an NQ {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring|24}} [[Fili Earring]], it needs to be pretty much cap augments to be worth wearing in this set.

Until you get your hands on at least a {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +1|24}} [[Fili Earring +1]], use the {{ItemIcon|Regal Earring|24}} [[Regal Earring]] and {{ItemIcon|Digni. Earring|24}} [[Dignitary's Earring]] combo.

''Neck'' 
Again, the {{ItemIcon|Moonbow Whistle|24}} [[Moonbow Whistle]] is just too easily accessible to not pick up right away. Save your money for a +1!

''Rings'' 
The [[Stikini Ring +1]] was king for quite awhile for [[Bard]] due to its somewhat earlier introduction in the 119 era. Although the great Magic Skill debate continues with this ring, it has a contendor now with [[Odyssey]]'s {{ItemIcon|Metamor. Ring +1|24}} [[Metamorph Ring +1]].

Stikini +1: Wind Instrument Skill +8, Singing Skill +8, Magic Accuracy+11 '''vs''' Metamorph +1 {{Aug}}: CHR+16, Magic Accuracy +11~15

Skill vs Stats vs Macc opinions will differ amoungst the playerbase. One theory is that '''''Skill 199 or lower is Skill +1 = MAcc +1.0''''' whereas '''''Skill 200 or higher is Skill +1 = Macc +0.9'''''.

I would say if you already have two Stikini +1s, do not bother with the Metamorph +1. If you have or need a Metamorph +1 for another job, then by all means use it in your Debuff set to save an inventory slot. Nobody will mock either decision you make, as long as you are in the top Unities.

''Back'' 
[[Ambuscade]] capes win again for this slot category. You can reuse your main Bard cape as it meets the criteria for Debuff songs.

''Waist'' 
The {{ItemIcon|Luminary Sash|24}} [[Luminary Sash]] was king for [[Magic Accuracy]] in the waist slot until [[Odyssey]] was released. Now we have the augmented {{ItemIcon|Acuity Belt +1|24}} [[Acuity Belt +1]], with no regards to the base stats. A capped out belt gives us +15 [[Magic Accuracy]] from the Augment.

Until you get this, the {{ItemIcon|Luminary Sash|24}} [[Luminary Sash]] is the runner up waist piece, but it is from [[Neak]] so it could be difficult to obtain unless it drops during an Aeonic run. Other honorable mentions are the {{ItemIcon|Ovate Rope|24}} [[Ovate Rope]] & {{ItemIcon|Porous Rope|24}} [[Porous Rope]].

====Song Specific Swaps====
As found on the [[Song Potency]] page, swapping in "''Song+''" gear increases the potency and duration of appropriate songs. Besides instruments, the gear below helps increase potency.

*[[Image:Threnody_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Threnody]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Mousai Manteel|24}} [[Mousai Manteel]]/+1
*[[Image:Lullaby_Icon.png|link=|24px]] [[Lullaby]], swap in {{ItemIcon|Brioso Cuffs +3|24}} [[Brioso Cuffs +3]] if they are not already. See more details in the [[#Midcast - Lullaby|Lullaby]] section of this guide.

| width=600px valign=top | '''Midcast - Cure - Kaykaus +1 set'''
<hr>
If money is no object, Kaykaus +1 gives us the most '''Cure Potency II''' equipment we can get. The set bonus ranges from +4~10% based on amount of pieces you have. 5/5 grants +10% Cure Potency II. A lot of these Kaykaus +1 pieces can also be used for Precast, if you have them.

The full +1 set gives us 44% '''Cure Potency''' by itself, not counting any '''Cure Potency II'''. Paired with the Path D augment on the body, that alone caps you. That makes the [[Daybreak]] less useful for this set, except for MND+30. I recommend switching to options for Conserve MP, which the best set would be [[Grioavolr]] {{Aug}} and [[Giuoco Grip]]. This will cause blinking for cures, though. The only other viable option for main hand would be an augmented [[Ipetam]] which can get Conserve MP with Leaf stones.

<hr>
The first piece of Kaykaus +1 you should obtain is obviously the body, as it has natural '''Cure Potency II''' without the need for a set bonus. Ideally it would be best if you pair it with just one other +1 piece to get the set bonus. Legs and Hands tend to be the cheapest secondary option, but that might not be the case on your world.

The feet are used for an Enhancing set, so they are a wonderful piece to pick up. They don't quite beat [[Vanya Clogs]], however, due to the +40 [[Healing Magic Skill]] obtainable on them even with the additional Cure Potency II set bonus. The difference is only about 10 HP for Cure IV, though.

When a [[White Mage]] is not available for your party, Bard can use [[Barspells]] to help keep party members alive from various damaging spells. Pairing Carols together with similar elements strengthens Barspells even further.

Be sure to read the [[Cursna]] page for details on removing Doom, and for formula information. The idea is to stack Healing Magic skill anywhere you cannot get a Cursna+ piece, but since Bard does not have native Healing Magic skill, stacking healing magic really wont push you to any futher tiers. There are options for body and legs, but neither are Item Level.

Focus on the Cursna+ gear in the list below.

If you do not have the {{ItemIcon|Hieros Mittens|24px}} [[Hieros Mittens]], then use {{ItemIcon|Inyan. Dastanas +2}} [[Inyan. Dastanas +2]] for a beefy +20 Healing Magic skill boost.

===Tanking Sets===
<hr />
These sets can be helpful for tanking the add during the [[Arebati]] fight. Use your generic Idle set for this, but these Precast and Midcast sets are special.

Once we learn more about definitive values of [[VE]] and [[CE]] on each song, I will create a spreadsheet and add it here. Until then, it seems best to spam all of your offensive songs to generate hate.

====Precast – Tanking ====
The only change from the “Ideal Precast” set listed above is if you do not have a {{ItemIcon|Fili Earring +2|24}} [[Fili Earring +2]]. You will need to add Damage Taken -5% to your {{ItemIcon|Intarabus’s Cape|24}} [[Intarabus’s Cape]] to cap. This way Wilbur will not push your face in due to lag and song casts as you will always have 50% DT.

[[#Precast_-_Songs|Click Here]] to skip to the Precast section with this set.

====Midcast - Enmity+ set====
Below is a max Enmity+ build for Bard, while still having Physical Damage Taken -50%.

Be mindful to reinvest any merits into Enmity+ before the fight. Enmity+ caps at +200 from gear. Bard cannot get close to that, but we have some things to work with.

Keeping up [[File:Sirvente_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[Sirvente]] on yourself is important for doing this, as well as [[File:Minne_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[Minne]] songs. You also need to ensure that you have capped [[Magic Haste]] with either the haste spell or [[File:March_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[March]]. If you can spare it, a [[File:Mambo_Icon.png|22px|link=]] [[Mambo]] might also be beneficial depending on your party.

'''Remember to swap back into your idle set. This set is only for casting songs (Midcast).'''

{{Equipment Set
|List=y
|Main=Mafic Cudgel
|Sub=Genmei Shield

Stats on the above set:
*Enmity+72 (and Merits +5)
*Damage Taken -18%
*PDT -33% (Capped when combined with DT)
*Haste +27% (Cap)

Earring Alternatives: [[Titanis Earring]], [[Pluto's Pearl]]

Ring Alternatives: [[Eihwaz Ring]], [[Pernicious Ring]]

There are belts with +1 more enmity, but we need to use this one to cap Equipment Haste.

The Intarabus’s Cape can have AGI, HP, or Evasion instead of VIT, but I figure VIT is better since we are not going for Evasion. Those Crits suck.

==DD Bard==

I am not going to post any sets at the moment, but I may later. I am not going to pretend to know all aspects of Bard melee builds and what is best for dual/single wielding.

I will refer you to the following resources to help with your DD sets:

You must have acquired and upgraded a [[Prime Weapon]] to the second stage to start this mission. [[Loughnashade]] (horn) and [[Duban]] (shield) do not fulfill this prerequisite.

==Walkthrough==
*Equip your upgraded [[Prime Weapon]] and interact with the '''Heroes' Gambit''' targetable location at (J-9) in [[Xarcabard]] for a cutscene.
**The unity warp 125 to [[Xarcabard]] will take you close to it.
**Excludes [[Duban]] and [[Loughnashade]].
*Return to [[Castle Zvahl Keep]] and interact with the '''Valhallan Rift''' at (G-7) for a cutscene.
**It is located directly across from the [[Home Point]].
*Interact with the '''Valhallan Rift''' again to enter the BCNM "Duke Alloces's Decision" with Chaos (RDM/DRK).
**Time limit of 15 minutes.
**You will be assisted by the Destiny Destroyers. They do very little damage but are very strong defensively. Keep reraise active. If you wipe, the Destiny Destroyers can tank Chaos long enough for you to recover.
**Chaos frequently casts a potent dispel which erases everything, including stances, and strips pieces of gear.
**Contrary to lore up to this point, ''any weapon can deal damage to Chaos'', not just Prime Weapons.
*After the cutscene, you will be moved to [[Xarcabard]] and receive the {{KI}} [[Despairing psyche]].
*Return to and interact with the '''Heroes' Gambit''' targetable location at (J-9) in [[Xarcabard]] for another cutscene and your reward.

*Head to Ethereal Ingress #10 and speak with [[Incantrix]] for another cutscene.
*Head to (F-5) Ethereal Ingress #4 and examine the '''Babbling Brook''' in the river for a cutscene.
*Return to Incantrix for another cutscene.
*Head to (K-7) Ethereal Ingress #6 and examine '''Aspirants' Grounds''' for a cutscene.
**You will receive {{KI}}[[Aspirant's canteen]] afterwards.
*Click the Aspirants Grounds again to enter "Nii's Last Stand," a 10 minute solo BCNM fight.
**'''Fair Warning''': Fight is very easy and the mobs hit for 1 hp. You have to let Nii Aquu kill some but not all mobs, otherwise you risk failure.
***Nii Aquu will say multiple times mid-fight, "No, No training not going well." or, "Kyah I feel the power welling up." as an indicator of how the fight is going.
****If I had to guess, I'd say you want to keep pace with him. Kill too few mobs and he claims you are going easy on him. Kill too many and he claims to be weak. Only when I roughly matched his kill rate did I succeed.
****This appears to be basically right. After several fails, it seems like you have to be within 2 kills of him to pass the BCNM.
**You will know by cutscene whether you passed or failed the BCNM.
*After successfully completing the fight, you will receive your reward afterwards.

* Random spawn on floor 3 as one of three possible mini-bosses.

* '''Pain Sync''' - Deals breath damage proportional to 40% of the damage received while readying this move in a 20' AoE around the monster.
** May be negated by [[Migawari: Ichi|Migawari]] and is affected by [[Earthen Armor]] and [[Sentinel's Scherzo]].
** Frequency of Pain Sync use may be reduced by keeping eraseable debuffs on Glassy Thinker, which will make it favor '''Winds of Promyvion'''.
*** [[Impact]] from [[Twilight Cloak]] or from [[Fenrir]] in rotation are excellent for encouraging use.
*** [[Dark Knight]] spamming [[Absorb]] spells between attacks is also effective.
* '''Winds of Promyvion''' - Erases multiple status effects
* '''Trinary Tap''' - Absorbs up to 3 status effects. Goes through shadows.
* '''Shadow Spread''' - 10' AoE Sleep, Blind, Curse, & Plague.
* TP move frequency increases as HP decreases until eventually spamming moves at ~10% HP.

==Odyssey Overview==
This section is a basic introduction of the Odyssey content. Each Odyssey area has special rules and restrictions that apply. Be sure to overview the Sheol section on this page for limitations unique to that area before partaking in the content.

===Sheol A, B and C Overview===
*To enter, each player needs to be in possession of a {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]].
:*Examining the ??? in [[Rabao]] near the [[Veridical Conflux]] at (G-6) allows you to speak with the [[Pilgrim Moogle]].
:*This moogle will grant the player the temporary {{KeyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]] upon request. [[Home Point|Nearest Home Point]]: [[Kuzotz]] > [[Rabao]] (#2)
::*You may receive another {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]] once '''''twenty hours''''' have passed from when you received the previous one.
::*Only 1 {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]] may be held at a time.
:::*It is possible to be able to do 2 runs in one day if you collect a {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]], then wait 20 hours before using it. This will allow you to pick up a new {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]] right after you exit your run.
*Examining the [[Veridical Conflux]] in [[Rabao]] at (G-6) and selecting a Sheol instance will transport all party members to [[Walk of Echoes]].
:*All held {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]]s by party members will be consumed upon entry.
::*Once inside, each player will be given a {{Tmp}} [[Moglophone]] in their inventory. This is used to exit the instanced area before time expires.
*Parties must consist of 1 and 6 people.
:*[[Trust]]s may be called within any Sheol instance.
::*The number of Trusts you can summon is limited based on the number of people who ''entered''.
:::*E.g. should only 2 people enter, and break their party; only 4 trusts total may be called within the instance.
::*Trusts are enhanced by the effect of "'''[[Moogle Mastery]]'''" after it is unlocked.
*Sheol locations must be completed in order for the first time using a [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]] to unlock the next one.
:*Clearing Sheol A with the objective set will unlock access to Sheol B, Sheol B will unlock Sheol C, and Sheol C will unlock Sheol Gaol.

===Sheol Gaol Overview===
*To enter, each player needs to be in possession of '''''THREE''''' {{keyItem}} [[Moglophone II]]s.
:*By talking to the Pilgrim Moogle by examining the ??? in [[Rabao]] near the [[Veridical Conflux]] at (G-6) after clearing the ROE for Sheol C, it will mumble something about the Darkness then eventually give you 3 [[Moglophone II]] Key Items for free.
:*Subsequent Moglophone IIs will cost 3000 [[Moogle Segments]] each, purchased from the Pilgrim Moogle.
::*[[Moogle Segments]] can be earned by defeating foes or opening chests successfully within Sheol A, B, and C.
:*Each Boss attempt will exhaust 1 [[Moglophone II]].
*Additionally all party members must have at least 3 jobs at 99 in order to enter.

===Content Objective===
*Battle the various foes and Notorious Monsters among the multiple floors of the instance as you make your way to the exit.
:*Examining the [[Veridical Conflux|Otherworldly Portal]] of each Odyssey will complete the [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]]. You do not need to kill any mobs or NMs to complete this objective. The [[Veridical Conflux|Otherworldly Portal]] is located on a different floor of each Sheol Zone and should not be confused with the [[Veridical Conflux]], which allows you to ascend or descend floors within the Sheol Zone.
::*See the individual Sheol sections on this page for the [[Veridical Conflux|Otherworldly Portal]] locations and maps.
::*Sheol A, B and C have Translocators within them. These are essentially warps in order to easily access different areas of that Sheol. They cannot be used until you interact with each one in order to activate it for your character. See each Sheol area below on this page for locations of these Translocators. Many players may expect you to have all of these unlocked, so be sure to do this on your own.
*All Nostos enemies in Sheol A, B or C have a chance to drop [[file:Lustreless Scale icon.png|26px|link=]] [[file:Lustreless Hide icon.png|26px|link=]] [[file:Lustreless Wing icon.png|26px|link=]] Lustreless items.
:*Monsters increase in level and difficulty for each consecutively higher floor within a Sheol. Higher level enemies on higher floors have a higher drop rate of Lustreless items.
:*[[Treasure Hunter]] increases the drop rate of Lustreless items up to a max of 3 Lustreless items dropped per Nostos mob.
*The various enemies in Odyssey are all aggressive. They come in two varieties, and all behave accordingly to their [[Bestiary|real world brethren]]. All monsters take reduced AoE damage similar to mobs in [[Domain Invasion]] and [[Dynamis Divergence]]. Anomalies for mob aggro rules have been observed within the Sheol areas. It's safest to assume that all mobs will aggro both sight and sound, and that any mob that has true sight or sound aggro will also have true sight or sound aggro within Odyssey. [[Hide]] will work to shed aggro/enmity on nearly all foes except ones who track by scent.

===Area Progression===
Initially, players have access to only Sheol A. In order to progress to higher level areas, the [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]] pertaining to each Sheol needs to be completed:
*Completing the [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]] for Sheol A will unlock the ability to augment Unity Equipment where [[file:Lustreless Scale icon.png|26px|link=]] [[Lustreless Scale]]s are used to {{Aug}} augment that equipment, reward a [[Large Lustreless Scale Box]], and unlock access to Sheol B.
*Completing the [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]] for Sheol B will unlock the ability to augment Unity Equipment where [[file:Lustreless Hide icon.png|26px|link=]] [[Lustreless Hide]]s are used to {{Aug}} augment that equipment, reward a [[Large Lustreless Hide Box]], and unlock access to Sheol C.
*Completing the [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]] for Sheol C will unlock the ability to augment Unity Equipment where [[file:Lustreless Wing icon.png|26px|link=]] [[Lustreless Wing]]s are used to {{Aug}} augment that equipment, reward a [[Large Lustreless Wing Box]], and unlock access to Sheol - Gaol.

===Moogle Mastery Effects===
Moogle Mastery is an effect that is granted within all Odyssey areas. The benefits from this effect include:
*Moogle Mastery will decrease the number of UNM pop items required to spawn a Notorious Monster in that particular wing of Sheol.
:*Each level decreases the required amount of pop items by 1.
:*This benefit is specific to the Mastery Tier of the Sheol wing in question.
::*For example, if you have Mog Mastery I in Sheol B and Mog Mastery XV in Sheol A, you will not receive any pop item reductions in Sheol B.
*Moogle Mastery will increase the strength of [[Trusts]].
:*It is currently unknown how this specifically boosts Trusts, as it doesn't increase their HP/MP as per +Level. It is thought to increase their [[Base Stat]]s and/or their [[Derived Stat]]s by increasing amounts by tier.
:*Moogle Mastery and its benefits are carried into Sheol - Gaol.

====Increasing Moogle Mastery====
One's Moogle Mastery effect is increased:
*When 100+ total Nostos enemies of that wing is defeated
*''Minorly'' when defeating Nostos Enemies and when opening [[:Category:Odyssey#Izzat|Chests]].
*'''Largely''' when opening [[:Category:Odyssey#Izzat|Coffers]].
*'''''Greatly''''' when defeating Notorious Monsters or when opening [[:Category:Odyssey#Izzat|Aurum Strongboxes]].

The increase to Moogle Mastery is an ambiguous system where each of the above actions works towards increasing Moogle Mastery's "meter".
*Defeating Notorious Monsters and opening [[:Category:Odyssey#Izzat|Aurum Strongboxes]] will increase Moogle Mastery very quickly compared to opening chests alone.
*There are certain nonspecific requirements that must be met for certain tiers to be reached, where players won't increase rank until defeating a certain number of NMs a certain number of times, or a minimum number of total Nostos defeated, etc.
When a player's Moogle Mastery increases within Sheol, a message will be displayed stating that "your Moogle Mastery is now ''XX''".
*Only the player opening the [[:Category:Odyssey#Izzat|Chest/Coffer/Aurum Strongbox]] will receive the message should their Moogle Mastery upgrade.
:*Other players' Moogle Mastery will increase as well, but they won't receive the message in Sheol. {{Information Needed}}
*Up to Tier XVII (17) Moogle Mastery has been observed.
*It is currrently unknown how to increase Moogle Mastery in Sheol Gaol.

===Izzat===
Players earn izzat, a special currency unique to Odyssey, as they vanquish monsters within Sheol A, B or C.
*Izzat is shared among all party members.
*All Izzat will be lost once you leave the zone, it is only a temporary currency.
*Players will receive 1 izzat for every 5 monsters defeated and 10 izzat for fully clearing an Agon Halo and all its surrounding beastmen.
*Izzat is also used to spawn [[:Category:Odyssey#Additional_Objectives|various Notorious Monsters]] from '''''Ethereal Junctions''''' that appear after defeating [[:Category:Odyssey#.22Agon.22_Beastmen_type|Agon Halos and all their accompanying Beastmen]], for a cost of 10 izzat.

===Moogle Segments===
Moogle Segments are a form of points, which are used for Odyssey. They were introduced in the [https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/57421-November-10-2020-%28JST%29-Version-Update November 2020 Version Update]. The main purpose of Moogle Segments is to purchase the {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]] to enter Sheol - Gaol, but lustreless items are also available for purchase. See the [[Pilgrim Moogle]] page for details.

Segments are earned throughout Odyssey, in each of Sheol A, B and C. The total amount of Segments earned increases with the difficulty of the content. Accordingly, the most segments can be earned within Sheol C. Each Sheol section on this page details the amount of Moogle Segments that can be earned within that area.

===='''Sheol A'''====
:*All Nostos mobs will grant '''5''' Moogle Segments each on the first floor, scaling up by 2 per floor up to a max of '''17''' Segments per mob on floor 7.
:*Opening a Chest using '''keys''' or '''tools''' will grant ??? Moogle Segments. A Coffer grants ???, and an Aurum Strongbox will grant ???.
:*Opening a Chest using '''izzat''' will grant 100 Moogle Segments. A Coffer grants 150, and an Aurum Strongbox will grant 200.
:*While the Halo and the individual beastmen themselves will not grant Moogle Segments, successfully clearing an Angon Halo and all its surrounding Beastmen will grant Segments ranging from ??? to ??? based on the floor you are on.
:*Killing an NM will grant a number of Segments ranging from ??? to ??? based on the floor it is spawned on.

===='''Sheol B'''====
:*All Nostos mobs will grant '''13''' Moogle Segments each on the first floor, scaling up by 2 per floor up to a max of '''23''' Segments per mob on floor 6.
:*Opening a Chest using keys or tools will grant 7 Moogle Segments. A Coffer grants ???, and an Aurum Strongbox will grant ???.
:*Opening a Chest using '''izzat''' will grant 100 Moogle Segments. A Coffer grants 150, and an Aurum Strongbox will grant 200.
:*While the Halo and the individual beastmen themselves will not grant Moogle Segments, successfully clearing an Angon Halo and all its surrounding Beastmen will grant Segments ranging from ??? to ??? based on the floor you are on.
:*Killing an NM will grant a number of Segments ranging from ??? to ??? based on the floor it is spawned on.

===='''Sheol C'''====
:*All Nostos mobs will grant '''25''' Moogle Segments each on the first floor, scaling up by 2 per floor up to a max of '''31''' Segments per mob on floor 4.
:*Opening a Chest using keys or tools will grant ??? Moogle Segments. A Coffer grants ???, and an Aurum Strongbox will grant ???.
:*Opening a Chest using '''izzat''' will grant 100 Moogle Segments. A Coffer grants 150, and an Aurum Strongbox will grant 200.
:*While the Halo and the individual beastmen themselves will not grant Moogle Segments, successfully clearing an Angon Halo and all its surrounding Beastmen will grant Segments ranging from 450 to 630 based on the floor you are on.
:*Killing an NM will grant a number of Segments ranging from 280 to 340 based on the floor it is spawned on.

==="Nostos" type===
<hr style="width: 100%">
Common enemies. All aggro by their [[Bestiary|family's]] typical detection method, '''plus Sight'''.
*They cluster in groups of 10 mobs.
**Each Sheol has a fixed set of enemy types, but their placement is randomized on each run.
*They do not link.
*They are susceptible to [[Charm]].
*For every 5 defeated, the party will be granted 1 izzat.
*[[Hide]] may be used to shed hate in emergency, except on foes that track by scent.

===[[File:Earth Gyve.png|38px|link=]]"Agon" [[Beastmen]] type [[File:Thunder Gyve.png|38px|link=]]===
<hr width="800px">
Agon Halos do not have fixed spawn locations, and differ each entry to Sheol areas. Around each Agon Halo, semi-invisible enemies spawn that cannot be interacted with until their appropriate [[Fetter|Agon Halo]] is destroyed.
*Although they cannot be targeted, Nostos can ''and will'' aggro players ''before'' the [[Fetter|Agon Halo]] is destroyed.
:*Agon Beastmen will link with each other, but ''not'' with the [[Fetter|Agon Halo]].
:*Agon Beastmen possess both '''True Sight''' and '''True Sound'''.
*Agon Beastmen cannot be slept, enfeebled or acted on via AoE or any spells/actions in any way until the [[Fetter|Agon Halo]] has been destroyed.
:*Using an AoE ability or spell, however, '''will''' generate hate on all Angon foes as if they were affected by it normally, so a tank could hold the aggro while the party destroys the [[Fetter|Agon Halo]].
*Halos emit elemental damage corresponding to its element, similar to [[Dynamis - Divergence]] wave 3. Halos also take 50% additional damage to the element strong to its element, and 5% damage from the same element.
*Destroying the Halo makes all Agon Beastmen around it targetable.
*When '''all''' Beastmen around an [[Fetter|Agon Halo]] are defeated, the player will be granted 10 izzat, a number of Segments depending on which Sheol and what floor it is on, and an '''''Ethereal Junction''''' will spawn in the location of [[Fetter|Agon Halo]]. If the player successfully examines that Sheol's [[Veridical Conflux|Otherworldly Portal]] before time runs out, they will also be granted a Lustreless Item Box in their personal reward issuance.
:*The Ethereal Junction that spawns after clearing the Agon Halo and its surrounding beastmen may be used pop a random Notorious Monster at a cost of 10 izzat. This is different from any Ethereal Junctions that were already in the instance before the Agon Halo was cleared; those Junctions will spawn NMs only if you trade it the appropriate amount of UNM pop items.
::*See the Notorious Monster section in each Sheol area on this page for details.

===Notorious Monsters===
*Trading UNM materials to an '''''Ethereal Junction''''' (that was not spawned by defeating an Agon Halo and its Beastmen) will spawn a matching NM to the UNM whose materials were traded.
*'''''Ethereal Junctions''''' spawned from Agon Halos and their accompanying Beastmen demand an [[izzat]] payment of 10, and will spawn any one of the Notorious Monsters of that Sheol wing at random.
*All Notorious Monsters have access to various [[SP Abilities]].
*All Notorious Monsters can drop the Lustreless item of that Sheol with the possibility to also drop a [[File:Lu. Scale Box icon.png|22px|link=]] a Lustreless Box of the corresponding Sheol when defeated.
*Once a specific Notorious Monster has been spawned, it may not be spawned again in that same Odyssey run.

===Chests===
:*In Sheol A, B and C, 3 Chests can spawn per floor.
:*Chest spawn locations are random each time, but they do not spawn on stairs.
:*Chests can be opened by a [[Thief]] with [[file:Thief's Tools icon.png|26px|link=]] [[Thief's Tools]], [[file:Living Key icon.png|26px|link=]] [[Living Key]], or [[file:Skeleton Key icon.png|26px|link=]] [[Skeleton Key]] can open chests within Odyssey Sheol A, B or C. Opening chests this way will result in one of three results:
::*1) the chest will be opened
::*2) the key or tool will be used up with the message "However, it has no effect", or
::*3) The key or tool is used up and the chest turns into a [[:Category:Mimic|Mimic NM]].
::*The more times a key or tool fails, the higher the chance it has to become a Mimic.
:*[[Skeleton Key]]s return the lowest failure rate, followed by [[Living Key]]s, then [[Thief's Tools]].
:*Only a Thief main can open chests using keys or tools. /THF as a subjob will not work.
:*Chests can contain multiple [[file:Lustreless Scale icon.png|26px|link=]] [[file:Lustreless Hide icon.png|26px|link=]] [[file:Lustreless Wing icon.png|26px|link=]] Lustreless items and possibly [[File:Lu. Scale Box icon.png|26px|link=]] Lustreless Boxes.
:*Successfully opening a chest grants a chance to spawn an upgraded Coffer in the same location where the chest spawned.
:::*Coffers have a greater chance of rewarding Lustreless Boxes. Successfully opening a coffer grants a chance to spawn an Aurum Strongbox.
:::*Aurum Strongboxes contain more scales than ordinary chests, and only Aurum Strongboxes may contain Large Lustreless item boxes.
:::*The contents of chests, coffers and strongboxes are added to the party's treasure pool, not to individual rewards or to the person opening the chest.
:*Chests can also be opened using [[Izzat]]. Normal chests ([[file:Basic Chest.png|35px|link=]]) are opened by spending 10 izzat.
::*The izzat cost for opening [[file:Basic Chest.png|35px|link=]] chests is reduced by ''1 for every 10 chests'' opened in that Sheol wing opened.
:::*This reduction caps at -5 izzat.
::::*e.g. with 28 chests opened, the cost to open a normal chest will be 8 izzat, while with 77 chests opened, the cost to open a normal chest will be 5 izzat.
::*After opening a normal chest, there is a chance for a coffer ([[file:Gold Lined Chest.png|35px|link=]]) to spawn that can be opened for 15 izzat.
:::*The izzat cost for opening [[file:Gold Lined Chest.png|35px|link=]] coffers is reduced by ''1 for every 10 coffers'' in that Sheol path opened.
::::*This reduction caps at -7 izzat.
:::*After opening a coffer, there is a chance for an Aurum Strongbox ([[file:Gold Chest.png|35px|link=]]) to spawn that can be opened for 20 izzat.
::::*The izzat cost for opening [[file:Gold Chest.png|35px|link=]] strongboxes is reduced by ''1 for every 10 strongbox'' in that Sheol path opened.
:::::*This reduction caps at -10 izzat.
*Opening a chest with Izzat greatly increases the chance of a higher tier coffer spawning, compared to using keys or tools.
*Opening a chest with Izzat will grant a number of segments depending on which Sheol zone it is.

===Mimics===
*Mimics posses high attack and defense, and take reduced damage from magic and skillchains.
*Mimics will use draw in and have rapid hate decay. This causes them to shift targets regularly and draw them in.
*Mimics have an aggro range of 20', and will reaggro the Thief which spawned it, even after a full party wipe and reraise.
:*The Thief must never return to within 20' of an idle Mimic or it will reaggro.
::*Mimics will not reaggro other party members after a wipe, regardless of their range, unless the party member is within sight aggro of the mimic.
:*A Thief may place a party member or Trusts on a Mimic and run away to be defeated by other foes out of range. The Thief will then be able to safely reraise afterwards, but will still gain aggro if they come within 20' of the Mimic again.
:*If a Thief is able to use a pillar or other environmental assets (such as the "spike" found at each corner of the fountains) to block line of sight prior to opening a chest, if that chest turns into a Mimic then it will not aggro. This is dependent on luck as the chest locations are randomized each time.

:*The stun effect from these moves may be resisted by increasing ones Magic Evasion and with thunder resistance enhancements such as Carols, Runes, and Barthunder.
:*Successfully defeating a Mimic will grant a Large Lustreless Box to a player's personal pool upon successfully examining the Otherworldly Portal.

===Individually Issued Rewards===
*Successfully reaching the end of Sheol A, B, or C, examining the [[Veridical Conflux|Otherworldly Portal]] rewards the player with an amount of {{ItemIcon|Counterfeit Gil|26}} Gil (based on amount of Nostos mobs killed) and possible [[File:Lu. Scale Box icon.png|26px|link=]] Lustreless Boxes (based on amount of Agon Halos and their surrounding beastmen cleared, and/or NMs+{{question}}), or [[File:L. Lu. Scale Box icon.png|26px|link=]] Large Lustreless Boxes (based on amount of mimics killed or clearing the RoE quest for the first time) of the Sheol wing.
*'''Examining''' the Otherworldly Portal will issue individual rewards, you do not have to leave the instance. ''Each character'' must examine it themselves in order to receive their personal pool reward. Once you receive your individual reward you may no longer receive any additional individual rewards for that session, even if you kill more Nostos mobs or clear more agon halos and beastmen afterwards. For this reason, it is advised to save claiming individual rewards until the very end of your run.
:*Players may not examine the Portal if they ''or anyone else'' in their party has aggro.

====Upgrading UNM Equipment====

==Sheol Gaol==
'''The requirements to enter are as follows:'''
*Players must have completed the [[:Category:Records_of_Eminence#Content_.28Odyssey.29|Records of Eminence Objective]]; Content → Odyssey → Sheol C.
*Sheol Gaol is a boss gauntlet area. Each Boss battle has a hard 15 minute time limit, with the ability to challenge up to three bosses in each entry. This results in a maximum of 45 minutes within the instance.
*Players must have 3 {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]] to enter the battlefield.
:*By talking to the Pilgrim Moogle by examining the ??? in [[Rabao]] near the [[Veridical Conflux]] at (G-6) after clearing the ROE for Sheol C, it will mumble something about the Darkness then eventually give you 3 {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]] Key Items for free.
:*Unlike the {{KI}} [[Moglophone (Key Item)|Moglophone]], There is no timer on obtaining a {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]]. The only requirement is that you have the 3,000 [[Moogle Segments]] on hand in order to purchase the Key Item.
:*Subsequent Moglophone IIs will cost 3000 [[Moogle Segments]] each, purchased from the Pilgrim Moogle.
:*Each Boss attempt will exhaust 1 {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]].
:*As mentioned, each player needs 3 {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]]s to ''enter'' Sheol Gaol, but you do not need to spend all three each time you enter. Leftover {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]]s will be retained if players exit after one fight.
{| style="min-width: 400px; max-width: 600px;"
| style="background:#FFEEEC; border:2px dashed #FFA99F; line-height:10x; padding:2px;" |
:'''Unique Sheol Limitations'''
*[[Support Job]]s are restricted.
*[[Trust]] magic can be used regardless of enmity.
|}

Upon entering, players arrive into a Waiting Area with a 15 minute time limit to prepare for the various boss battles. The 15 minute Waiting Area timer starts counting down as soon as you zone in and will continue from where it stopped after you kill each boss and get sent back.
*For this reason, it is advised that you have job assignments worked out in advance with all the equipment you need already on you, so that you spend as little time as possible preparing for each boss.
Upon defeating a boss, players are warped back to the Waiting Area (with the remainder of the 15 minute Waiting Area time limit) to change jobs and prep gear. '''The 15 minute Waiting Area timer will not reset.''' E.g. If you take 5 minutes prepping and then your party enters the battlefield killing a chosen boss, you will be sent back to the Waiting Area with 10 minutes remaining to job change and prepare for the next boss.
*Access is given to your main inventory and Mog Wardrobes, as well as Mog Satchel, Sack, Case, Safe and Locker, but '''not''' Mog Storage.
*'''Note: There is no Porter Moogle available.''' Retrieve your equipment from slip storage ''before'' entering.
*Players cannot use the same main job used in a previous fight. Players cannot be the same job during the same fight. Sub-jobs are not available/restricted.
**For example, if the setup PLD RDM COR GEO is used to fight one boss, then when you return to the waiting room, you cannot enter the next fight with any of those jobs present.
**A simlar universal rule is applied to Trusts: Once a trust is called, they are locked out from reuse for the present or remaining two battles.
***Trusts can be summoned mid-fight even if the player has enmity on the target.
At the opposite end of the room, there is a Veridical Conflux; examining it will warp you to the boss area.
*You will need to select which NM to warp to.
*For each Atonement, you do not have to kill the NMs in any particular order.

'''Note:''' There is only one known reason to stay in the zone and use more than one Key Item, which means dealing with job and trust restrictions. If your group fails to defeat any NM, you can change your jobs and re-challenge the NM at significantly reduced HP. It regenerates slightly from where you were defeated, though.

Otherwise, players have been warping out after defeating one boss in order to reset their restrictions, as the other two {{KI}} [[Moglophone II (Key Item)|Moglophone II]] are retained. The theory that players may have earn more RP for Boss #2 and #3 has been pretty much debunked.<ref>https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/54555/the-odyssey-strategy-and-discussion/79/#3564883</ref>

===Sheol Gaol Rewards===
*Defeating NMs in Sheol - Gaol provides the corresponding {{KI}} "Information on ..." key items in the tables listed above.
**The starting price for all equipment is fixed, see below for the initial costs. Subsequent world kills lowers the price.
***Price reductions appear to be tied directly to server kill count and are not bound to a period of time check.
***How many world kills equates to a price reduction are unknown. More data needed.
**Atonement 1 equipment starts at 2,000,000 [[Gil]].
**Atonement 2 equipment starts at 3,000,000 [[Gil]].
**Atonement 3 weapons start at 4,500,000 [[Gil]], and armor starts at 6,000,000 [[Gil]].
**Atonement 4 equipment starts at 7,500,000 [[Gil]].

===Augmenting Rewards===
Before players can spend Reinforcement Points on an item, they must unlock rank tiers on each piece of equipment.

To increase an item's maximum augment rank, players must defeat the corresponding NM (where said equipment originated from) at a higher "Vengeance" difficulty than that items currently max rank. Although this sounds confusing, it is quite simple.

Example: To unlock the rank of 20, you must defeat the NM on "Vengeance+15". Refer to the table below:

{| class="BGBlue1 R-Highlight-WikiBlue" style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;"
|- style="background: #4696CF; color: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: 3px solid #FF8000;"
! NM Vengeance !! Item Maximum Rank
|-
| +0 || 5
|-
| +5 || 10
|-
| +10 || 15
|-
| +15 || 20

|}
====Modifying "Vengeance"====
=====Atonement 1=====
The Vengeance level of a NM determines its strength and abilities that it can use. After ALL Atonement 1's NMs initial defeat, "Vengeance+1-5" difficulties are then accessible for each NM.
*Defeating the NM on "Vengeance+5" then unlocks "Vengeance+6"-"Vengeance+10". Defeating it on "Vengeance+10" then unlocks "Vengeance+11"-"Vengeance+15", and so on.
*Defeating all Atonement 1 bosses on "Vengeance+5" or greater unlocks Atonement 2's "Vengeance+1"-"Vengeance+5".
**Similarly, by defeating all 4 types of "Vengeance+10"-"Vengeance+15" bosses in Atonement 1, "Vengeance+6"-"Vengeance+10" and "Vengeance+11"-"Vengeance+15" of the Atonement 2 bosses will be unlocked.
***The same rules apply to Atonement 3 bosses and adjusting their "Vengeance" according to progress made on Atonement 2 "Vengeance".
***It is possible to take along another player with no progress in any Atonement area or "Vengeance" ranks to skip their grind.

'''''The rules above are applied the same way to Atonement 2, 3 and 4 areas.'''''

====Earning RP====
Reinforcement Points are earned whether or not you successfully defeat the NM chosen. RP accumulates based on the Vengeance level that you partake. '''Note:''' You do not need to own armor in order to accumulate RP.
*RP earned can be used by interacting with the '''???''' ([[Pilgrim Moogle]]) in Rabao at (G-6), and then trading your desired piece of gear in order to enhance the augment.
**RP earned is unique per NM, and can only be spent on that NM's corresponding equipment.
**After unlocking an item's maximum rank, it is then possible to grind lower difficulties to earn RP. Naturally, more RP is gained on higher difficulties though.
**Unneeded RP can be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio for Moogle Segments.

RP is earned with the following formula: 40% * Total RP needed for previous rank (See RP Allocation table below) = RP Earned for successful kill

The following is an example for Vengeance +10:

0.4*480=192 <ref>https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/54555/the-odyssey-strategy-and-discussion/69/#3560115</ref>

{| class="BGBlue1 R-Highlight-WikiBlue" style="width: 100%; max-width: 400px;"
|- style="background: #4696CF; color: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: 3px solid #FF8000;"
! Vengeance !! RP Earned
|-
| +0 || 0
|-
| +1 || 0
|-
| +2 || 20
|-
| +3 || 32
|-
| +4 || 48
|-
| +5 || 68
|-
| +6 || 88
|-
| +7 || 112
|-
| +8 || 136
|-
| +9 || 164
|-
| +10 || 192
|-
| +11 || 224
|-
| +12 || 260
|-
| +13 || 300
|-
| +14 || 344
|-
| +15 || 392

|}

If you are unsuccessful at defeating an NM, you will still earn RP. Earned RP depends on how much damage was dealt to the NM that was not successfully defeated.

As an example, a Vengeance +15 NM taken down to 20% would earn 156 RP with the following formula:

floor(0.4*980*.8/2 = 156.8) <ref>https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/54555/the-odyssey-strategy-and-discussion/69/#3560115</ref>

====RP Allocation====
The following table specifies how many Reinforcement Points need to be allocated to reach each rank for an item.

|- style="background: #4696CF; color: #FFFFFF; border-bottom: 3px solid #FF8000;"

***The quickest way to this is via the [[Survival Guide]] or [[Voidwatch]] Warp.
**Inside, you will find the [[Tonberry Priest]], who will reset your Tonberry hate for a fee.
***This will cost between 250 - 6,000 gil depending upon your hate level.

*There is also a Tonberry Key key item from [[:Category:A Shantotto Ascension Missions|A Shantotto Ascension Missions]].
:*If you are having issues resetting Tonberry hate via this quest, then it is very possible you have the wrong key item
:*Check with Magephaud in Norg to see if he requests the 3 [[Gold Beastcoin]]s to be sure.
:*If he requests the beastcoins, then you should receive the appropriate key item to reset hate after providing those to him.
