You must be a male Archer at Job Level 40 or higher to become a Bard. The quest is in Comodo. You will bring a flower to a wandering musician and sing a song for him.
âš ï¸Bard is a male-only class. Female Archers cannot become Bards and must pursue the Dancer class instead.
💡Use all your skill points before starting. Lalo will not change your job if you have unspent points.
Find the Wandering Bard Lalo in Comodo.
Travel to Comodo and find Lalo near the northern edge of town.
Tell him you want to become a Bard. He will ask you to bring him a flower.
Bring Lalo one of his favorite flowers.
Lalo accepts any one flower from the following list. Bring whichever you can find:
- Singing Flower (Singing Flower)
- Hinalle (Hinalle)
- Aloe (Aloe)
- Ment (Ment)
- Izidor (Izidor)
- Witherless Rose (Witherless Rose)
- Frozen Rose (Frozen Rose)
- Illusion Flower (Illusion Flower)
Return to Lalo and give him the flower. He will accept it and move to the next part of the test.
💡Singing Flowers drop from Roda Frog and are usually easy to find. Ment and Aloe drop from plant-type monsters in Payon dungeons.Sing along with Lalo.
Lalo will sing a song to you. He pauses at certain lines and waits for you to type the next lyric exactly. Listen carefully to his verses and type the matching answer when he stops.
The lines he waits for are always the same within the song he is singing. Read what he sings closely and reproduce the next line exactly when prompted.
If you make a mistake, you fail the song and need to try again. On a second visit, Lalo skips straight to the song test.
Optional: Bring 60 Trunks for a weapon reward.
After you pass the song, Lalo offers you a choice: change jobs immediately, or bring him 60 of the same type of trunk for a bonus weapon souvenir. You can pick any one of:
- 60x Trunk (Trunk) for item 1901
- 60x Solid Trunk (Solid Trunk) for item 1903
- 60x Barren Trunk (Barren Trunk) for item 1903
- 60x Fine-grained Trunk (Fine-grained Trunk) for item 1905 (or item 1910 at Job Level 50)
If you just want the job change without the bonus weapon, choose to change jobs now.
You are now a Bard.
Rewards:
Bard class, access to Poem of Bragi, A Whistle, Music Lessons, and more
Instrument weapon (if you brought 60 Trunks)
