i want to be able to get as much redux as i can with minimal spell training..if thats even feasable for a bard..should i stop at 20 spell songs and get minor up to 430 first..

[ShatteredCasis]

I'd set your stats for cap, as a general rule in shattered. It'll make it harder to swing a lance for 20-30 levels, but better to suffer now than give up a ton of tp's later.

As for redux.... eh good luck with it. I don't know the formula well enough to know if it's worth sacrificing for.

[liquiddrool]

That's definitely too many spells on a bard for redux. You could ask around on bard forum about it, it would be cool to see a bard with some redux. Try plugging in some numbers at http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Redux but I'd limit spells to 10-20 total until you're in 70-80s+.

[zero70]

well redux isnt a must have..i thought maybe i could get a lil bit..but after reading that..thanks BTW..i see its a losing battle if i want any spells at all..and also should i adjust his training any?..

MMC instead of EMC. A.) It's cheaper, and B.) It helps certain Bard spells. If you have the points for it you could 1x Armor at least til 35 for brig, then decide if you want Augmented Chain later.

Same price from where I'm sitting.

same price, but it benefits a bard more to train in MMC, than EMC. It does effect some bardsongs. Sorry had to put my 2 cents in.

The only 'dux you'll you'll really be able to get will be semi-dux, and you can get that anywhere up to just under 2x in spells (though, the more spells you have, the less 'dux you'll have).

Keeping single'd in spells, along with what you're currently doing for physical skills, should get you at least a little bit of 'dux.
