Custom Songs

Custom Songs

In addition to the default Bard Song & Curse Song, bards on EFU can learn server-specific Custom Songs. These songs will be discovered in-game during the course of your character's adventures! The more common songs can be purchased in Ephia's Well, but there also exists rarer, more prestigious music, hidden deep among the secrets and treasures buried in the ash desert.

A good starting location for aspiring bards is Elossi's, located in Ephia's Well main plaza. There is always a minstrel or two performing at such a frequented location, and many willing to sell song sheets from their collection. The prices, effects, and rarity of such songs will vary. Players are able to freely compose and share songs with one another, using their songbooks as well.

Songsheets and Songbooks

Bards may use the command "/c songbook activate <#>" to rapidly switch between custom songs and/or create hotbar text macros which do so for them. For the below songs and everyone's convenience, their values are listed in addition to their name.

• In order to access the custom Bard songs available in EFU: Sands of Intrigue, a Songbook item is required - you will receive one when you activate a perk or buy one from a store.
• You can add a song to your songbook either by using a songsheet on your songbook or absorbing another songbook into yours (either by being gifted a songbook or stealing one from another Bard).
• To absorb a songbook into yours use it like you would a songsheet and target the songbook you want to absorbs the songs into.
• There are two varieties of custom Bard songs in EFU. The variety that are beneficial to your allies and the cursed variety which affect enemies via damage, negative effects or even damage.
• You can scribe cursed songs to your songbook without the Cursed Song feat but you will not be able to use them.
• There are two types of songs you can have active at any given moment in EFU. First, the Cursed Song feat (which requires you to take the feat to use) and only affects hostile targets. Second, any other custom bard song of which there are two types of - inspiring which typically affects allies positively or cursed which typically affects hostile targets negatively (and requires the Cursed Song feat to use but not to scribe into your songbook).
• For every 3 points of the Bard's total Perform skill Bard songs will last 1 extra round. Additionally, every character level over 5 grants another round of duration.
