[Genso]

[Dux]

Yes the +2 are worth it. They are also amazingly cheap.

Not macro-ing in instruments? Erm if you are a Bard you have no choice in the matter it is essential to your job.

Check out the existing threads on this board (The FAQ at the top would be very useful) they will provide you with loads of useful information.

i actualy looked on the guide. i dont think they say what the +2 on insts do O_O in detaile.

They add 20 seconds duration to a song, as well as slightly enhance the effect - Traversiere +1 for example will make your Madrigal last 2:20min instead of the normal 2mins (2:10min with regular Traversiere) and enhance the accuracy by ~5 or so over the normal Traversiere.
Maybe someone has more accurate numbers as far as the enhancing effect goes.

[Treth]

yeah the +2 instruments are a must-have, and they're cheap too. Each one is only like 23k

[Rones]

enhance the accuracy by ~5 or so over the normal Traversiere.

From Applepie's old information:
Sword madrigal is 15 base and +4 with a +2 instrument.
Blade madrigal is 25 base and +4 with a +2 instrument.

At level 72 Minuet IV gains +11 ATK from a +2 instrument, on top of the +20 second time boost. Other songs benefit similarly. March gives more haste, Minne gives more defense, Mambo more evasion etc.
