Hehe, do enough dragons and eventually everyone gets everything they want.
We use a point system similar to Shada's, and I only recently obtained my
belt. I think there's only one or two other people that are waiting for a
belt still. A lot of people chose to hold out for the CoF/TBB combo too, so
there's actually relatively few people who wanted the belt.
I've also got the Selo's Drum and the Horn of War (which I don't think I've
even used) since we only have two bards in our guild, and the other one
doesn't show up nearly as much. We've sorta reached a point now, where the
only dragon items people still need/want are the haste items. I've also got
an orb of tishan (awesome bard item btw) and a gold plated koshigitana
(pretty crappy, very low proc rate and next to no summoned mobs to use it
against)
I know my gloves clash horribly, but I haven't been able to obtain imbrued
ones yet. None have even dropped on our server to date. Was sorta thinking
of going for the gauntlets of fiery might anyway. They're not in very high
demand since most classes have better planar gloves, and our monks all
already have them.
I've got the tranix crown, but tend to only wear it for situational uses
(i.e. I need the extra MR or CHA)
My base DEX is 100 if that helps at all. I was actually at 150 before I
swapped out my GBP choker for the mithril torque. Wasn't even aiming for
dex really, it just sorta worked out that way.
Hooded black cloak, crested spaulders and runed lava pendant are currently
on my want list. Was considering diamondines, but they're hella hard to
come by it seems (too lazy to camp them myself) and if I did get any, I'd
probably give them to my monk first.
I've been very fortunate in my equipment, in that 90% of the time I'm the
only bard around. I've never really had to worry about loot squabbles, I
tend to get items mainly because nobody else is there to claim them.

How on earth did they let a bard have a runed bolster belt? =)
Seriously, being the weakest of the melee classes what sort of dragon
loot system is used that allowed you to be have such an item. Also does
it make you ineligible for Selo's drum and Horn of War?
A few improvements in your equipment I might add if you dont mind which
you're probably already aware of.
Wear Imbrued gloves (assuming you have them), the lambent ones are just
awful looking. If you're ever able to get a Tranix crown, wear that over
Imbrued (assuming you dont have one). Imbrued helm also looks awful =).
Crested spaulders -better ac and hp, dex useless since your weapons dont
proc. Hooded black cloak if you're lucky enough to obtain one - the 45
hp outweighs the extra 2 ac on cloak of shadows in my opinion.
Diamondine earrings - 122 charisma is plenty so you can afford to lose
the opallines, especially if you choose Tranix over Imbrued.
I'm still trying to figure out why your dex is so high. Imbrued BP (13),
bracer (3), Gloves (5), Belt (10), Pauldrons (7 or 9?), Cloak (5). Also
how much hp does the bolster belt give you? I'm assuming roughly 30 hp.
Please let me know.
