My name is Specialist Witt, US Army. I am currently Deployed to Iraq, and am seeking something to do between patrols and convoys. I dont have time to level up a character, especially not one of this magnitude with my time allowments, so I seek to purchase a character. I want a Bard preferably 30+, but I will consider all Bard offers. I can pay very well, probably more than your average Joe, and you can feel good that it went to a good cause. The character doesnt need fixskills or any of that, I wont be hunting with this bard. This character will simply be for RP'ing and Loresinging n such. Sex, Race, Features dont matter, I will consider all offers sincerely. I have been looking for a while now so I hope to hear something in the near future. If you email me and I dont email back promptly, i might just be on a convoy or patrol or the like so bear with me, im usually pretty fast. Thanks for giving me a moment of your time and GodSpeed to all of you!

Check GSAuctions.com as well. there are no bards for sale there right now, but it's a good place to find one.

And there is always Ebay.

I usually slam for people buying characters, but I hope you find what you are looking for. Ebay and GSAuctions are your best bet. Good luck.

Sheeit, a guy who ain't looking for some UBERsorc so he can fuck over his enemies anonymous-like. Wants a PC so he can do that RP stuff. Man that's pretty cool.

i tried those venues, have for weeks now and no Bard's on the radar. If anyone comes across someone selling a bard I'll certainly pay a finders fee. Thanks for your time, Be well!

Apart from the fact that if you just wanted to RP, it doesnt matter what level they are so you can start your own...

Now that's funny.

In certain circles sure ... in general no.

There are far too many that love to measure the penis in game. Starting out ... your RP is dismissed and if you don't like it ... suck on this spike thorn or take a nap.

I never bought that line when I did play, I still don't buy it now.

Now if you were looking for an account, I know of a pair, maybe 4 if I decide to get rid of mine.

J's accounts have a lower trained bard ... like 10 - 15 maybe, a 30ish rogue, a 20ish ranger, a 20ish mage and locker characters. If you're interested I can shoot him a message or e-mail. I'm sure he'd let them go cheap ... you just take over the account(s).

I've got a 30ish Bard, but if I get rid of anything it's the account and not piece by piece.

Yaknow..I'm starting to wonder if you read anything posted at all?

RP was not his only reason for wanting a bard. Loresinging is also based on skills and LEVEL.

So is hunting the Rift or OTF. But some of us work our way up. She was merely saying that it would probably be cheaper for him to create one for himself instead of paying for one as sometimes the reputation some people have made for themselves before selling characters just isn't worth the hassle. IE Dwai, Pudgee, Rasko and Shay to name but a few.

It's hard work creating your own character and working up on levels but you can still RP while gaining those early levels. Just my own opinion.

Edited to add also you can start lore singing, albeit not brilliantly at about 15 from what I've seen of my fiance's bard.

He clearly stated he don't have the time to do this. Its clear he don't care about hunting (He don't care about skills, training, etc etc). He has stated exactly what he wants.

A level 30ish bard (which is about the time they come into their prime for loresinging), He don't care about skills, race, or sex. He wants it for RP and Loresinging.

He also stated he can't do it himself, due to time constraints. He explained why..and it seems very logical.

I don't see how Snowy's post has anything but a masked over jab at the thread starter.

Actually Adredrin, I have a bard who's level 20 and seldom fails to get the details from items. In fact, last night she was singing to stuff and was able to extract the exact Sorc spell in an item. And seems to be able to do so for most every item.

I think that the way you construct your loresong has a bigger part in it, but that's mostly anecdotal evidence on my part.

That actually was information imparted to me from a bard who's been around for many years.

I wish I knew definitively how much level plays, I just don't think it's as much as you would think. But again, that's just anecdotal on my part.

To be able to extract great details, and work with the higher end items, it requires more experience as a bard. Pulling out extensive loresongs not only requires greater skill, but more mana. I've seen items with very extensive visions and songs that takes quite some time to sing too, and if you pause to long, you have to start over.

I thought I read from the official documents that a bard can see a spell outside his circle 1/4 of his level. Meaning, if the item contained a sorcerer spell and the bard is 20.. they could only determine the exact spell if it was a level 5 spell or lower.

It's not like the official docs have ever been wrong.

Well that's most certainly the truth. I mostly purify for my other characters and such. But the longer lore song items could definitely create a bigger headache, hadn't really given that much thought.

Wow, I certainly did not mean to cause fights or arguments. I can barely sift through this thread, so I will try to provide a more straightforward approach. If you or someone you know has a Bard to offer, simply shoot me an e-mail and tell me the price please or hit me up on AIM or Yahoo please. Anywhere from 30-100 is fine, and money isn’t a big concern to me right now as I am making more than I need. I want to make some friends and keep them, I believe friends are the whole reason this game thrives so well. I’m sitting in a desert with no family or friends back home. The girlfriend of 4 years left me when I got deployed, so basically I’m stuck. The people here in Iraq and Kuwait aren’t so bad, but I want folks I can talk to and have fun with, and these guys don’t even know what RPG’s are, trust me. There’s the baseline. And hell, if you don’t have a character but just want a friend, I could use ‘em! I’ll list my info at the bottom and will hope to hear from friends or Bard sellers soon! Thanks again, and have a great day!

Heh. Welcome to the PC, Nimblehawk! ;)

You didn't start any fights or arguments here, others did. Your request makes sense to me; however, I've been out of the loop (as far as GemStone is concerned) for so long, I can't help ya.

I do hope you're able to find a bard to play and enjoy. As for friends, well...here's one!:welcome:
