Best in Slot gear as a Bard in Ruins of Kunark is more subjective than most classes, and can vary based on how you use your Bard. Generally a well rounded stat allocation is best for most situations. In this guide we will focus on AC and Melee stats. We will try to get the overall highest stat items. For many slots there are multiple items that are close in stat values. Some, but not all of these options will be shown in this guide.
We also will want Instruments. Our Epic 1.0 acts as all Instruments, but we still may want a stronger mod for a specific Instrument Skill in certain situations. We also need a haste item.
**You may also want to pick up resist gear to swap for raiding. A common way to get this is Jewelcrafting Gear (Ears, Neck, Rings, Face), Crown of the Froglok Kings (FR/CR – Helm), Crown of King Tranix (MR – Helm).**
Below are stats you can expect with the gear below. Your results will vary a bit depending on which items you choose, your race, and starting stats.
If I missed a better item in any slot, feel free to let me know in Discord.
