Post your bard templates please....

[cdharr68]

just wanted to get some ideas on how to play a bard on Siege Perilous. I would like to be an archer/bard but was concerned about no magery and no gating. I would like to see your templates and how you roll. Thank you.

as with so many templates it completely depends on what you want to do with it. Give us a bit more information and I'm sure you will get some suggestions

Don't vorried about gating, Place your house near the sea and place a ship near your house. You can gate to the ship rune with zero magery.
Then place crystal portals at your house, and you can get to any town, moongete or dungeon.

There's a slight "Scuttling" penalty to pay for doing this, but still worth the effort. As for bard templates, the only true bard template is a pure bard template. 120 Music/Peace/Provo/Disco...with a dash of wpn or magic depending on your mood.

Wait your boat can have runes?

 

[GarthGrey]

The new High Seas ships create runes when placed from Deed form, or you can simply stand on the deck of the ship and mark a new one, even if it's not your ship. Security settings will allow or prevent the opening of gates from that rune though.

Good to know. Now I am interested in this bard archer thing. I am leaning more away from stealth archer but want to pick something else up myself. So j wanna keep archer but the rest still wondering

the perfect bard temp is as follows
120 mage, eval, myst, focus, resist, wrestlin
you are set for all occasions.

But there is no bard skills there

do I need to use gate travel scrolls on the rune or how exactly do you do that?

Put rune in a new runebook, and use the gate options from book. May work casting gate directe on rune too. Sure you do need a spellbook with gating or a gate scroll.

I mostly use it when in stats VvV and without enough gating to gate to my house. Gating to the boat never fail. Someone told me, you don't even need regs, but did not test that.

120 disco/w mastery 120 provo 120 music 120 mystic 120 focus 120 fishing although I sometimes swap Fishing for 120 peace depending on what I am hunting. For hiding I just chug a invis potion if I get in trouble. RC Chews through just about anything you can disco. Provo keeps light spawns off your back. Drawback is if a PK like BO finds you ..... You are going to ground up pretty fast.

Here is my Dungeon-Mob-Control -Soloing-Template designed for High-Speed-Killing Critters in Cove 3: 120 Music and Provo with Jewelry, 120 Mystic and Focus, 100 Hiding, 80 Stealth, Rest Magery with Jewelry. No Meditation and EvalInt needed. You run in, drop Colossus, hide, provoke lesser on higher monsters and monsters on enemy summons (eg from demon mongbats). This is a very specialized template, very secure, very lazy, ultimatively effective.

I must have played 1000h and more in Cove 3 and no template kills faster than this one.

Artifacts virtually will rain on you!
