Bard and Stamina?

Sparkitus · 01-23-2002, 05:50 AM

Hi y'all, still playing at 2:45 (just...... one...... more ...... battle......)

Q on Bard..... I have a hobbit Bard, str 52, and dex 87 , int 76 and music skill 47.

He uses a LOT of stamina playing the instruments and has to be pumped up at least 2 times a battle. I've checked. He's not overburdened.

What should I increase to decrease the stamina drain? I thought that music skill might be tied into this, but then again, maybe I just have to increase strength?

Any help appreciated!

Vitality, Piety and/or Strength.

Though it will not decrease the stamina drain you will have more stamina points to start with.

You can boost your music skill quickly (to 65+) by the way. Just use the charm instrument on NPCs and charm them until your stanima is draines, get you stamina back up and do it again. You'll get an aditional point every 1-2 tries. It can save a bunch of level up points for other skills. (Don't use Antone for this. Rumor has it that if you hit a bad note he becomes personally offended and tries to kill you.)

Definately improve your music skill. I love the bard and would not want to do without her. I think the reasoning is that as you get more skilled in music, it takes less effort to play the instrument. The effect is that your stamina drain is less when your music skill is high. When my current bard first got the pipes, she could play them twice before she knocked herself unconcious. Without leveling up, I boosted her skill by making her use those pipes over and over. She can now play them 3 times before she is low on stamina.

I play a female bard because she can use the necklace of endurance. I just got it and I love it. That also helps to keep up her stamina. It wont prevent me from having to use the rest spells, but I will use them less often and never after a battle.

Strenght is the best booster. I did push a lot vitality since the begining because many monsters liked to hang on my bard

Now it's better. I can play 4 times before the bard sleeps from exausting work.

I push of cours music skill as high as I can because it's vital. Reading the posts here it seems that it helps too.

Bard Rock! Especially in the first part of the game, the pipes a just killing machines! [img]tongue.gif[/img] I love play a concert for a big group of Ants or Forest Mites hehehe....

Boosting the music skill helps quite a bit over time. Also, I just make sure that I have number of stamina potions around for "encores." Beyond that, eat right and get plenty of exercise. = )
