Bard Questions :)

[rex28s 0]

Hello Guys , just few questions.

I'm a bard and I'm trying to improve my game as a casual player. I have some Hyperion pieces for PvE and the Soldier 1 Abyss set for PvP. What alternatives do I have to using the EB Harp? I've given up hope of getting the EB Harp (not once in 70 runs, and not even now that I've joined a guild), and I rarely get invites to DRx4. I've seen that the 2-star Officer Harp has attack speed; could that be viable? I'm also using level 50 gloves that give me attack speed; any other alternatives? One last question: I have 6k GP; how much does it cost to become a 2-star Officer?

Thanks.

There are basically five viable endgame PvPvE weapon combinations for a bard (Hyperion isn't one of them).
SWB + 2-Star
DR + 2-Star
SSB + 2-Star
RST + Rank-1
Katalium + Rank-1
If you have the rank, then the best weapon you can get outside of SWB is DR + 2-Star. Otherwise it's RST + Rank-1.

A decent and kind of easy to achieve entry-level harp is AC + eternal RST. You don't need a group to get AC and it's easy to enchant. The eternal RST fuse should be easy to get and you need it for the attackspeed.

The only alternative to the e50 gloves would be "Vera Defender Captain's Gloves" from Vera in OB.
