So, I've been meaning to find out all I can about the lore on Bards in XIV. So far, it has been a bit of a chore. From what I have seen from the lore buffs here, the bard that we play as a job in game has fallen into disuse 100 years prior to the start of the game. Now, that has changed recently with Jehantel training some of the Godsquiver' to be bards.Â
I am still have trouble with how one would learn how to be a 'true bard'. So far, I have RPed my character, Nahli, as having a mentor who is an elderly man that was one of the few remaining bards. She has just been taken under his wing, though she met him when she was a little girl after her Mother and her moved to the Shroud. She doesn't remember him. Is this even okay to happen? This mentor is not the Godsbow. I RP him as having powers shown by most Bard NPCs. Nahli will have similar skills.Â
I know these things:Â
- Moogles supposedly can teach you to be a bard if they like you.Â
- Being a bard went 'out of style' during the Autumn War 100 years ago.
- Recently there has been a revival thanks to the Warrior of Light and Jehantel.Â
Questions:
- Do you need a soul crystal to be a bard?
- Are there any other bards out there other than the Godsbow?
- Is it alright to RP my bard with the powers of a typical NPC after she has learned to use those powers?Â
Thanks for your time everyone!
