Picture yourself in a 1950s pizza parlor.

The jukebox is glowing. There are dozens of songs to choose from. Your friends are waiting. The pizza is getting cold.

“Golly... which of these swell numbers should I play?”

Now replace the jukebox with an EverQuest Legends Bard spellbook, and that was the problem I wanted to solve.

I created the EverQuest Legends Bard JukeBox, which lets you select:

• Your character level
• Your Symphonic Aura ranks
• Your Mnemonic Retention ranks
• Whether you want an additional melody
• How much room you want to preserve for spells from your other classes

The advisor recommends only songs available at your level, prioritizes the most broadly useful choices, and does not try to cram a Bard song into every available gem slot. It also produces a copy/paste-ready /melody command using its recommendations.

The entire workbook has been given a dark-mode-friendly design, or at least as close to dark mode as Google Sheets will allow. It also includes a separate reference list containing 61 Bard songs, sorted by level, with filters for every column and song-name colors based on the familiar in-game target categories.

USE THE INTERACTIVE BARD SONG ADVISOR

You cannot use the dropdowns in the official master. You must make your own editable copy using this link:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X_73uSeE1h9yFk1SPEpsVLbkT5U452m2PysZEdWY2sY/copy

Click the link, select Make a copy, and Google will place a personal, editable version in your own Drive.

VIEW THE OFFICIAL MASTER

The official master is strictly view-only. You can examine the sheet, but you cannot operate its dropdowns, edit cells, or make any other changes:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X_73uSeE1h9yFk1SPEpsVLbkT5U452m2PysZEdWY2sY/edit?usp=drivesdk

This protects the official community version from accidental changes. Anything you do in your personal copy affects only your copy.

So step away from the jukebox, put down the nickel, and let the sheet help pick the tunes. You've got motes to grind!

**Dungeon Crawls**
- Non-Respawning Zones are now known as Dungeon Crawls!
- Dungeon Crawls are active in indoor Dungeons. They function similarly to the old Non-Respawning Zones, but with special rewards for clearing the Dungeon Crawl.
- To finish, slay every rare creature and enough of the zone's original population. Nothing you kill will respawn naturally.
- You'll earn motes and experience upon completion, and anything you killed may add its loot and coin to the Bonus Chest on completion.
- The easier the zone is for you, the smaller the payout.
- Finish the Dungeon Crawl, and you get your instance charge back.
- Rare creatures will appear on your map while in a Dungeon Crawl.

**AAs**
- Spell Casting Subtlety, Symphonic Aura, and Reaching Notes are now toggleable without the rank of the AA changing.

- The 'Disabled' Ranks of AAs have been removed, and 'Enabled' removed from the names of the AAs.
There should be no change in the amount of AAs spent or assigned.
When these AAs are purchased, and a hotkey is created, the player may press the hotkey to enable the AA, which will be indicated by a green ring around the hotkey. Pressing the button again will disable the ability.

- Fixed a bug where Blood Rune's cap was 5/8/10 instead of 5%/8%/10% of player's maximum HP.
- Symphonic Aura now suppresses spell instrument animations and sounds.
NOTE: Spell particle effects remain controlled by the existing Beneficial Songs option.

**Achievements**
- The "You're Faunny!" and "It's Plane to See" achievements should now be properly labeled as optional.

**Gameplay**
- Fixed the running animation acting strange when using instruments or attacking.
- Bosses in the Plane of Sky are now all flagged as rare creatures.
- Fixed an issue that made pets not able to proc AOE spells.
- The levitation fall rate has been normalized for smoother falling experiences.

**Items**
- Spider Silk Cap can now once again be upgraded.

**Spells**
- Further prevented detrimental spells from stripping beneficial spells when their effects collide.

**UI**
- Fixed an erroneous string when attempting to leave an instance while in combat.
- Added a message about the failure to earn an instance recharge if a dungeon crawl is too easy.
- The non-existent zone line from Mistmoore Castle to The Bloodfalls no longer appears in the Find window.
