    Subject: [eqbards] Hello and Question
        Hello all - I just discovered this board!  I am a half-elf Bard on
Xegony.  I have been operating in the Freeport areas mostly - and hope to
start some travelling in the near future...
        I JUST made level 8 and have a few questions.  Since I just made 8
and can develop String Instruments - should I sell my drum after getting the
lute?  Is there any need for both?  (Obviously a concern is carrying slots).
Is there a difference between the lute and the mandolin?
        Lastly - I am always short of money.  Most of my money goes to
songs - my armor is pretty thin.  Any suggestions for making money.
        I apologize if these questions have been answered many times
before - as I am new to the list.  If there is a searchable archive
somewhere - please point me there!
    Thanks
    Slyde
