Just checked nivlam, if you get every single bard skill you'd have to 5 gap it all the way to be FF at 100.

But that's only if you get every single bard skill maxed to 100. I'm sure you won't need all of them. By the way, it's around 1 mil sp for all bard skills.

Luckily ur just going pure bard, a lot of builds are needing like 700k to go from lvl90FF to lvl100FF.

Leave out some of the bard skills are tht'll cut a bit of sp. Then re-calculate how much sp u need and use nivlam SP gap thing.

Or you could go the 100% party route with bare-bones skills if you are feeling extremely tight-assed. It's not very feasible but hey, if you can find a party 24/7 then go for it.

Needs 425k SP at level 100 and a 1 gap all the way (433k sp) xD

Why bother with Vibration if you aren't taking any attacks?

Good point there. That takes the total down to 425k sp o_o Which can be farmed with 1 gap from 1 - 100. Thanks :)

he had a good point lol .. im gonna be ff at 90 for sure at bard and cleric . besides guys there are no new skills for bard and cleric [even though this topic is for bards only XD] well , i have to max everything up .. and it's gonna take a while + time and knowledge too >.< !
for 100 which seems a waste for me except for the extra lvls on the old skills .. it's not gonna take much sp . well .. maybe like couple millions of sp , but i can farm xD! besides , tickets are good :P .

not really, euros can survive without any subs, actually quite well.

most people prefer subs though, since they are helpful in pvp

That's a pretty poor comparison I must say. A bard with no subclass can do very well at pretty much everything (though it has it's specialties and cons like any other build) as a warrior can do pretty well by itself, and the same happens for every other european class. In a party, your sub matters way less than when soloing. And euros are somewhat meant for partying. Don't get me wrong, subclasses do help, and a lot, but they are not obligatory at all. A bard has good speed, good damage, and it is very helpful in a party. Therefore it's good at both soloing and partying. It's also very good at group pvping, but it's not so good at 1vs1 pvping - every european build doesn't really need a subclass, and they'd still do pretty good, they'd have their pros and cons, and a subclass would just maybe help lessening it's cons and/or improving it's pros. Some people prefer not to take a subclass because they cannot afford/don't want 'heavy' farming, and they are not doing any mistake at all.
