Low level BL training 03/19/2013 10:24 PM CDT

As the title says it, I am a new bard and trying hard to learn how to train bardic lore. As of yet I do not have any screams and my scholarship at 60 with charisma at 15 I have not yet found one evoke/recall area that I can see. Right now the only way I have found to get even a smidgeon of training in Bardic Lore is practicing breathing every time I'm able. Practicing will bring my to 17/34 however I'd like to find other ways to train as a young bard so I do not completely leave the skill behind. Anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can you whistle piercing yet? I cannot remember how early we learned that one. I use it to teach Bardic Lore as it is on a short timer and gives me 4-5 per whistle.

I rolled up a level 1 bard, and he keeps it moving decently with scream concussion/havoc. He started with them, so not sure why yours can't use them.

You might want to try practice stretching too; When I did that a few days ago, I was quite surprised at how quickly the field experience ramped up.

Also, consider buying song scrolls. Those don't teach as quickly as the screams or practices, but they do teach.

Good luck!

Honestly, you might not want to train it, at all, period.

Currently BL does not count towards guild reqs. At some point down the road when the system is more fleshed out, they intend to add a hard req in Bardic Lore. At that time everybody is supposed to be grandfathered to circle.

It MAY be possible to train BL as an Nth lore currently. This would be bad when BL becomes a hard req, as you'd be forced to train a new Nth lore to replace it.

In short, at this point, newb Bards should seriously consider not bothering training it at all.

It is not.

Just because they will grandfather it later, doesn't mean you can't get it far above what the req will be now. It's pretty simple to train with whistle piercing and scream concussive. It was said the req will be similar to the Performance req.

Pardon my interjection here but with the exception of traders and their eleventy billion tradin ranks per circle, I think all the guilds who have their super secret guild only skill thingy enabled have the same reason per circl need.

You mean the requirement? Bardic Lore is trainable, but not currently required. I had less than two ranks per circle on my Bard until just recently. The requirement is not the same for all guild only skills. For example, at 100th Astrology is required to be 420 and Summoning is required to be 460.
