if odyssey is completely out of the picture, then you're basically down to spamming oseem (fern stones) for decent 5% WSD Chironic Gear, or (dark matter) for decent 10% WSD Chironic.
You're looking for 5-10% WSD with the best you can get of STR/DEX/MND/CHA + acc/atk you can get.

Virlym said: » As far as I remember, I was using 5/5 Bihu pre-nyame just because of the raw attack it provides as well as the okay strength, if you don't wanna spend the money on that though just going unaugmented nyame is probably fine given it still provides alright offensives stats as well as DT I think Bihu is the best option pre Nyame. I think we used to use Lustratio set abjuration, but unless you have this set already, I wouldn't bother acquiring it as a stop gap set. Bihu is sufficient and lasts longer Got it, thanks for the tips! I might be able to get an odyssey clear for base Nyame, but augmenting it would take a while.

[38 days between previous and next post]what is the BiS Bard TP set?

With that being said, the sets are a very good guide and baseline for what kind of sets BRD can make. You should look at sets like that and compare it to what you have, and then adjust accordingly. If you need more defense, magic evasion, dual wield, etc, if you are subbing dnc or war, do you have QA augment Chironic gear? High Ranked Nyame? Volte pieces? Ashera Harness? There are dozens of ways to gear a bard accordingly. "BIS TP Set" is a misnomer; it's all circumstantial and depends on situations. You have to build a set appropriate for the/most situation(s), there is not one set that rules them all. You can also use the Item Sets page to search for sets to get ideas from Here's the general set I run, for comparison: ItemSet 400573 Chironic - QA+2% (3% is possible), Accuracy. I also had a STP+9 Chironic Hose that was better* than Volte Tights. I normally /DNC, so Haste Samba and 9% DW puts me exactly where I need to be with capped magical haste. Frees up the belt slot to use Sailfi+1, which I consider a way better belt vs a DW belt, since earrings are generally weaker comparably. Also allows me to use Null Shawl, which I consider better than JSE cape for pretty much everything. When I need tankiness: Swap legs/feet for Nyame When I need accuracy: In addition to the above, swap belt for Kentarch +1 > Olseni > Null Belts (in that order). Swap JSE neck for Null Loop (this might be questionable). Swap Moonlight to Chirich +1. If I still have accuracy issues, either sing a Madrigal, eat sushi, or drop TP Bonus offhand for Gleti's or Crepuscular Knife. Some people prefer Volte Tights over Nyame Flanchard, but I haven't been lucky enough to get those yet. TLDR - Several ways to build a set for BRD TP, but I don't think the term "BIS" refers to one set. It all kinda depends.

How does a STP+9, DW+4 chironic hose fare against a QA+3 chironic hose?
Lets you hit DW9 with a single earring for /dnc or 11 with a reki for /nin, both opening up ear slots for things like alabaster earring (dt, acc, stp, haste) Just curious if I should keep trying for QA+3 on legs or move onto something else (Don't really need anything higher priority so just grabbing misc QA pieces/refresh pieces atm)
