Well, okay, his player isn't a newbie, but this is my "I Am Not A Twink"
newbie, now level 10.

After finding that on the weekends people were more likely to make the trip
to town to sell their own excess loot than to sell it to me at zone, I
decided it was time to don all my purchases and go hunting. I really didn't
want my reports of what Newbie Bard had to be bragging so I won't keep
including the list, but it is startling, Tszaaz never ever had it so good.

At any rate, I left Crushbone at 9, feeling like I had really had the
pre-Lego experience and not wanting to go through the middle part where
cents are green and legos are mostly red. I set up shop in Misty thicket for
all of 9, but as no one in Rivervale will let me do quests I am out of that
smarmy little podunk berg. I have decided I *like* dungeons a bit more than
open area hunting and so I am wrestling with what to do next. Here are my
initial thoughts on where to take him, exp being more the focus than money
and fun eclipsing both of those. I would appreciate any new suggestions or
comments on my initial plans.

10-12 Blackburrow
(I know it inside out and it is a great dungeon for bards)

12-15 Kurns Tower
(which means dropping lots of silver, but all those warriors are going to
love being hasted)

15-20 Unrest
(I never hunted there before as my previous computer couldn't handle it)

20-25 Lake of Ill Omen
(I took Tszaaz from 25-30 there, it might get tedious, might not)

I am not feeling particularly inspired by this list however. If anyone has
suggestions for when, as a bard, to go where I would appreciate it. As a
start, I see I am leaving out Warslik's Woods and the Swamp of Ho Hope. The
Iksar bandit caves should probably be in there somewhere...

Thanks in Advance,

Tszaaz

P.S. I started posting a "Bards Tip of the Day" in GFays OOC channel
whenever I logged in, it was fun, and good for other classes to see as well
*smile*. One day I listed the four songs you can solo with from 20-38 (DDD,
CoD, Largos, Hymn, all instrument) and got a tell from a bard who had just
hit 20 and was really excited to learn about it. I was glad my new world had
one more all instrument bard *smile*
