Strangely enough, I've spent only one full day in Hate. I was the only bard
all day as I recall. I got the boots, BP and a Martune rapier. I've only
been back once for just a few hours, it was mostly clean and we just went to
lend a hand to the crew finishing up after some folks had to camp. No bard
stuff dropped either time from the Maestro.

Oh btw, I've found wisps really really hate clerics. I haven't seen the like
since they turned down bard hate. Twice last night in WC my L10 cleric was
ganged by wisps. I started on one, another dove in when the first was mostly
dead, then it was about dead a third and then a fourth jumped in! I only saw
the one wisp when I started the fight. I had to run. Later, I started on
another one and in about 2 minutes, I had five live wisps chase me to the
zoneline after I killed the first one! Have you ever seen a wisp train? I
had zoned in and out between fights so there couldn't have been any leftover
aggro.
