Well, I'd love to make some suggestions but what you have is as good or in
most cases better than what I am wearing at 33. In some cases much better.
About the only suggestion I have is that you might want to do the Kerran Toy
quest as the AC from the toy is more useful than the Runed Bone Fork unless
you are fighting a lot of casters.

Subject: [eqbards] Armor and Weapon Advice

Hello all. I have been playing EQ very sparingly the last few months.
I was wondering if I could some equipment/weapon advice (or point me
to a post, etc..) for my bard.

I am on the Rathe, Level 30 almost 31. I should be able to hit 32
next week. I would like to try and get XP and a chance at upgrading my
stuff. I don't have a lot of cash either. I am currently in Cazic
Thule going between the Temple and TR's whereever I can find a group
(it's fun going from Main Tank, to healer (only healer at one point),
to crowd control).

If any of you can suggest some upgrades and price ranges I would
appreciate it.

Currently I have:

Weapons
Blade of Fiery Lamentations (Dam: 5,Del: 18, Proc: Fiery Fingers)
Obsidian Shard (Dam: 6, Del: 25, Proc: Obsidian Shard)
Gnoll Hide Lariat(Dam: 3, Del: 20, Proc: Stun)
Enameled Black Mace (Dam: 8, Del: 28)

Range Slot
Runed Bone Fork (Magic/Fire/Cold +10)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
