Newb Bard Question

[Captain Phatty]

So I am new to this server, and trying to get my first character going. After reading through some of the forums I decided on this template:

Archery
Tactics
Magery
Meditate
Provocation
Music
Hiding

I got provocation to around 80 and my music to 100 to I figured it was time to head out to a dungeon. I used to farm the dragons in Destard on another server, so I figured I would try there. I was pretty much getting my ass kicked with fireballs, and there is a lot more spawn that I remember there. Should I drop some skills in favor of resist, or did I just pick a bad spot for a newbie bard?

First of all, the main hall of Destard is maybe the best place to encounter a pk. Not good if you're starting out and you already lost your [young] status.
You could start from the back of destard (mark a rune there): there are 2/3 drakes, 1 dragon, several water ele and efreet that spawn there, it's surely more manageable than the main hall because the spawns are not really close together.
Otherwise there is a nice spawn of 2-3 dragons in the right wing of destard but you'll meet a pk there sooner or later.

My suggestion is to gm provo first (just go to bard room in deceit and set up a macro for provoking a rotting corpse on yourself) then you can go pretty anywhere, obviously the best places are where there are 2 or more monsters to provoke.
You can try Hedge maze, there are daemons inside (and some balrons, but watch out, they are inside in a close space), and you can even try Khaldun (2 balrons spawn near each other and then there are the cultists to provoke on several ancient liches, all spread out in a nice dungeon)

destard not so much pks..but you need at least gm provo as river said to you..you also have to remind to keep just ONE dragon each time vs antoher and go everytime with magic reflection active and with full hp maybe with a bless or str potion on..to have alittlemore hp..running in desatrd to escape to a drag, its just going to dead..cause u will run another drags

i can also suggest u you to remove hiding and medit and go

healing 80
magery 80
anatomy 100
medit 40

relaly more damge with archery\dex\str 95 90 40

and with slayer bows u will rock^^

resist hidng is still good, mayber try both
