Mages Ballad II

[Setheron]

I am astonished at how fast a song can raise so high. I started out my bard and at level 20 noticed mages ballad 2 going for 55k max. Last week i reached level 50 only to discover mages ballad II has risen to 200k :mad: :mad: Does anyone know any other means of getting it (nm/bcnm/coffer) If i decide to buy do u think i should wait to see if the price drops or buy it at 200k ?

If anyone is feelin generous send the song to my mog house

dude, there is a post exactly like this a few scrolls down. i dun think you needed to make an entirely new thread for it :p

oh fyi, i got my ballad 2 for 8k a week ago or so. mwahahaha

[mIze]

It's either Zvahl Baileys or Fei'Yin coffer, I don't remember. One is life belt, the other is ballad II.

[Edit: It's Zvahl Baileys coffer, ballad II can pop along with gil and gems]

[UnnamedGalka]

Really? On my server, Ballad II went for ~8K, last I checked.

Uh oh...I guess I'd better buy it now :sweat:

[Asao]

I just bought Mages Ballad II for 150k on Garuda, the price is going down

60-70k on midgard >.< better than 200 i guess

Carnage Elegy has been 90k on Ragnarok and fairly rare for an extremely long time. However, now it is time to pick up Bard once again I looked at AH and noticed a hugh influx of them and got it for 35k. Minuet 4 is around 80-90k now, was much more expensive for a loooonnnggg time. I personally got the one I intend to use and the one I sold while hunting Novv the Whitehearted :p

[Niland]

all those expensive songs are in the past for me, but i do sympathise.

personally i reckon if something seems reasonably priced and you can afford (and obviously know you'll need it) then you should buy^^

[Reaperx90]

!!! BRD songs for over 20k a piece? Kill me now...

I knew the new 70+ songs would be pricy, but considering each song up to level 45 has been under 10k (usually under 5k if you buy from NPC) I think I need to formulate some more productive farming methods :dead:

*makes a note to check the song prices on his server*

reaper i think the sum of all bard songs 1-75 is probably something like
minuet 4 200k
carnage elegy 100k
ballad II 70k
everything else 1k-5k (200k total)

570k total

compare that to whm
raise II 500k
erase 400k

blm
flare 1 million

rdm
refresh 100k
phalanx 300k
many other expensive spells

smn (for vanity - they aren't really useful)
dark spirit 1-2million
light spirit 500k

i don't know about ninja but among the mages i think bard has it very very easy

ballad 2 is in castle zvhal chest. If you a thf that can sub whm for sneak, just go hunt the chest yourself. Btw, it's 60k on rag, and it used to be uber cheap not very long ago.

Add 400k for Erase for your WHM sub too

Also, Refresh is down to like... 35k on Midgarsormr now.

[AtraposBLM]

blm needs erase for whm sub too m(_ _)m

Also, the majority of my II spells are 30k each, and my I spells go from 500 to 15k. Drain, Aspir, Warp = 15k, 20k, and 8k respectively. Warp II = 20k.

Poison II - 22k
Bio II - 22k
AM's 30-100k
Flare - 800k-1000k

I bought Ballad 2 for 55k and I hunted Carnage Elegy back with some friends. Minuet IV dropped to 30k on Odin.

Bard's cost is not in the songs mainly. They are better to hunt back. The cost is mainly in the Signa and Instruments. However, a bard's cost is very much less than other jobs.

[kaply]

Speaking from a BRD's perspective, yes the BRDs songs don't cost all that much, but every other class can farm at least 50% better than a bard can. A WHM can solo decently with a THF sub (50% better), a BLM can solo very well with a THF sub (75% better) and a RDM can solo very well with a THF sub (75% better). A BRD ... farming with a THF sub... lesse... bad idea.
So, lets say we use our main as a sub for farming... sub bard? you serious? It's doable, just not as well as a WHM/RDM, not too sure about subbing BLM...
