I have played since last April, have a level 18 druid, level 13
enchanter, and level 8 bard. (who I played up to 16 on Test then
decided I'd rather play on Solusek Ro) Right now, I am enjoying my
bard most of all.

Where are you fighting right now?
Do you have a magical weapon? At your level, I would be saving up to buy
a combine weapon, if you don't. Soon you can start taking out wisps. And,
by killing them, make money MUCH quicker.

My friend's primary is a level 50 bard. She STILL doesn't regret being
a bard and is having a load of fun. If I had things to do over, a part
of me thinks I would have started originally as a bard, not a druid.
