No matter how desperate a situation may seem, the songs of the Minstrel will inspire you to achieve a miraculous victory. Despite the name, the Minstrel is a serious factor in any battle—not just because of his ability to keep spirits high but because of his astounding archery skills as well.
 
 
 
Taught new songs by the gods themselves, Minstrels are now a powerful class. They are able to enchant the enemy with different music and deal large amounts of damage with [[Arrow Vulcan]] skill. Minstrel can also give half their stats to a supported character enabling the supported fighter to increase their damage. This job is known as Clown in other localizations

:''See [[Maestro#Builds|Maestro Builds]] for build strategies to work towards. See [[Bard#Builds|Bard Builds]] for leveling strategies for just the Minstrel leveling stages. Leveling a Minstrel is similar to a regular pre-trans Bard, but with a few new skill additions.''
 
'''New Skills Overview:'''
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Arrow Vulcan |simple=yes}}: A single target ranged attack skill that requires a Instrument be equipped to cast. This skill is quite powerful, and if using the right Instrument, can kill most enemies in one or two shots early on. Another bonus to using this skill to level is that a shield can be equipped for damage reduction since Instruments are one handed. The downside to this skill is that it has a long skill delay between casts and that it cannot be cast while performing songs.
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Marionette Control |simple=yes}}: This is useful and frequently used for any brewing type of situations like an [[Alchemist]]'s [[Potion Creation]]. Very serious potion brewers will create a Minstrel or [[Gypsy]] (or even a level 150 [[Maestro]] / [[Wanderer]]!) purely as a "slave" for brewing with high [[LUK]], [[DEX]], and [[INT]].
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Tarot Card of Fate |simple=yes}}: This skill can be very useful in WoE. Under the effect of Magic Strings it can be very spammable. Not only can this be cast through [[Pneuma]], it also cannot be removed by enemies. It is highly recommended to memorize the cards. This way the player can continuously use the skill until a Death Card comes up.
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Sheltering Bliss |simple=yes}}: This skill can be used in front of a portal in WoE to disable enemies. Worth maxing if using this character for WoE.
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Hermode's Rod |simple=yes}}: This skill's debuff is generally not worth using and it can be a pain to use in WoE.
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Longing for Freedom |simple=yes}}: This skill can be somewhat useful when pairing with a Bard class, but requires some practice to use properly. If moving too far from the other performer, the skill will cancel. Generally not worth investing points into.
 
 
 
===Full Support Minstrel===
 
* STR: 1-20 (for holding potions, gear, and later on tears)
 
* AGI: 1+
 
* VIT: 60-80
 
* INT: 80-99
 
* DEX: 70-80
 
* LUK: 1
 
 
 
Basically this follows the same stat and skill build of the [[Bard]] class with the addition of a few new spells. All of the new Minstrel spells are optional and can be bypassed for pre-WOE building skills like Classical Pluck.
 
 
 
'''Mandatory Skills'''
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Amp}} 1/1
 
{{Skill List|skill=Encore}} 1/1
 
{{Skill List|skill=Magic Strings}} 10/10
 
{{Skill List|skill=Music Lessons}} 10/10 This improves your walking speed while casting and the potency of your spells.
 
{{Skill List|skill=Song of Lutie}} 10/10 Awesome hp buff for raising party hp (does not raise the hp of the caster)
 
 
 
 
 
'''Optional Skills'''
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Melody Strike}} 5/5 Pre-requisite for Severe Rainstorm
 
{{Skill List|skill=Unchained Serenade}} 5/5 If player is planning on getting [[Metallic Sound]] or [[Great Echo]]
 
{{Skill List|skill=Acoustic Rhythm}} This is a mixed bag of sorts. While it provides one of the best aoe party resist buffs in the game, it has its drawbacks that make it questionable to learn. The biggest drawbacks are that it does not 'stick' on players as other performer songs do, so the second you stop casting, the party loses the buff. Another drawback is that it is very rare to have another performer to cast this song with so you may find yourself with a skill you never get to use
 
{{Skill List|skill=Arrow Vulcan}} Optional 10/10 This is a great leveling tool for when players are questing or having to level solo. For players relying 100% on parties, this spell is unneeded.
 
{{Skill List|skill=Marionette Control}} This spell serves no other purpose other than for those planning on supporting a Brewer/Forger. Skip this spell if you have no plans to do this
 
 
 
 
 
'''For players planning on participating in WOE/PVP'''
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Classical Pluck}} A very powerful skill that disables everyone within range. Mandatory for WOE players
 
{{Skill List|skill=Tarot Card of Fate}} Awesome skill to cast while in song that has the chance of casting a random debuff on players and is not effected by player resists at all. If a Death card is chosen, the enemy player will instantly be 'Coma'ed to 1 hp and be easily killed in 1 shot.
 
{{Skill List|skill=Longing for Freedom}} Completely optional skill to allow the Minstrel/Maestro to walk around while performing a song. It has its uses but is completely skippable
 
 
 
===Pre-Severe Rainstorm leveling build Minstrel===
 
 
 
* STR: 1-20 (for holding potions, gear, and later on tears)
 
* AGI: 1-50+ (or leave this low and build agi after job change to maestro)
 
* VIT: 50-70
 
* INT: 70-80
 
* DEX: 70-80
 
* LUK: 1
 
 
 
This build uses the same skill build as the support build with the addition of mandatory 5/5 Melody strike as pre-req for Severe Rainstorm. This build also has the option of starting the AGI stat for increased Severe Rainstorm damage or waiting till after Maestro job change to begin building this stat in order to get VIT INT and DEX up first
 
 
 
{{Skill List|skill=Melody Strike}} 5/5 Mandatory pre-requisite for Severe Rainstorm
 
 
 
== Equipment ==
 
 
 
=== Eden Group Equipments Quests ===
 
 
 
:''Main article: [[Eden Group Equipments Quests]]''
 
 
 
Most transcendent characters will have already completed some Eden Equipment quests already and can reuse the equipment. If the character has not done the quest yet, they can do it as a transcendent character as well. The Dagger or Bow are good weapons and generally a good choice for a Rogue and their future classes'.
 
 
 
=== General Equipment Recommendations ===
 
 
 
:''Main article: [[Equipment]]''
 
 
 
The Equipment article lists some general all purpose equipment that is useful through the PVM phase and also for endgame use as well.
 
 
 
=== Third Class Compatible Equipment ===
 
 
 
:''Main article: [[Shadow_Chaser#Equipment|Shadow Chaser Equipment]]''
 
 
 
It is recommended to look at the Equipment recommendations for the Third Class job to see what equipment to strive for, rather than to spend a lot of money on a piece of equipment that will not be used in the future as a third class. However, some equipment may have a high level requirement, or are [[transcendent]] only.
 
 
 
=== Weapons ===
 
 
 
====Bow====
 
{{Item List |id=1748 |item=Eden Bow II}}
 
Achievable by doing the Eden Group quests
 
:''Main article: [[Eden Group Equipments Quests]]''
 
 
 
{{Item List |id=1734 |item=Orc Archer Bow}} + {{Item List |id=1753 |item=Steel Arrow}}
 
These 2 combined add a 50% dmg buff to attacks. Easily the best bow choice for the Minstrel class, as well as the Maestro class.
 
 
 
====Instrument====
 
{{Item List |id=1918 |item=Oriental Lute}} Easily the best weapon for maestro due to the 10% buff on Melody Strike and Arrow Vulcan and ability to enchant with EA buff. This can also have 2 slots added to it with slotting adds, which allows the ability to card in Archer Skeleton cards for a severe damage buff.
 
 
 
=== Armor ===
 
 
 
=== Shoes ===
 
{{Item List |id=2423 |item=Variant Shoes}}
 
 
 
=== Headgear ===
 
Anything that boosts INT/DEX/Ranged damage will work fine. Or anything with damage reduction since players will be mostly supporting
 
 
 
=== Garment ===
 
{{Item List |id=2576 |item=Heroic Backpack |slots=1}}
 
{{Item List |id=2554 |item=Nidhoggur's Shadow Garb |slots=1}}
 
{{Item List |id=2589 |item=Fallen Angel Wing |slots=1 |simple=yes}} with Expert Archer enchants for higher ranged damage.
