Overview

Songs make up a general magic category available only to bard. Unlike other types of magic, there are two components that together determine the skill value for a song's effectiveness - singing skill and instrument skill. There are two different instrument skills--wind and string--and the type used in the calculation is that of the currently equipped instrument. The combined singing and equipped instrument skill is typically referred to as "combined skill" and is the value used to determine the potency and accuracy of bard songs. It is not entirely clear how song Magic Accuracy is calculated, although it depends on CHR and combined skill multiplied by a scaling factor.

Additionally, unlike other types of magic, songs cannot be interrupted by being struck by an enemy's attack while casting, so spell interruption is not necessary while singing/playing a song.

There are two types of bard songs - party-targeted buffing songs and enemy-targeted debuffing songs. By default, with an instrument equipped, a Bard can place two active buffing songs on party members; any additional casted songs will overwrite the songs with the shortest remaining duration. Without an instrument equipped (e.g. with bard as a sub job), the number of buffing songs a player can cast is limited to one song. The Daurdabla (Level 99) allow a bard to cast up to two additional buffing songs for up to four total. Similarly, Terpander and lower level Daurdablas allow a bard to cast one additional buffing song, and the Camaraderie Harp allows one additional buffing song effect to be applied during Reive battles.

The same song cannot be reapplied until its current remaining duration is less than its base (unenhanced) duration. Unique songs will always overwrite a currently active song, but they will only overwrite the song with the lowest remaining duration. There are 12 shared 'slots' for songs and Phantom Rolls. After the maximum is reached,new buffs will remove old ones in order of application.

Song Effect Duration

  • Song duration equipment does affect offensive debuff durations.
  • The base duration of a party buff song is 120s.
  • All gear song effect duration bonuses are additive with each other, as well as additive with the duration increase from song+ potency effects.
    • For example, Ballad +1 on Fili Rhingrave +1 would extend Ballad by 10%, +12s, in addition to enhancing its potency by 1; with Inyanga Shalwar +2 (+17%) as well, a Ballad would have a total duration boost of +27%
      • This means the Aeonic Instrument Marsyas does have 10% longer duration boost than the Level 99 Relic Instrument Gjallarhorn, but lacks any potency boost for party buffs that Gjallarhorn has.
    • Whether equipment says "Song effect duration +10" or "Song effect duration +10%", these values are the same +10% duration increase.
    • Troubadour doubles the total duration after all other duration bonuses are applied.
  • The chart below does not include song+ bonuses.
