One of 8 classes

The Bard

The Bard makes things and reaches out to people. Class quests on music in the body, talking to strangers, creating and noticing what you admire.

Who the Bard is

“The song matters. Whether anyone listens is not the question.”

The Bard is the class of making and sharing. Its bosses include a jealous rival and a masked critic, and its final boss, the Silent Maestro, offers you absolute silence and calls it truth.

Bard quests get you out of your shell in small steps. Dance to one song with whatever mood you're in. Start a conversation with a stranger and slip in a real compliment. Make something, good or not. Later quests push your creative work into the open: The Rough Draft, Perform It, Applause Is Not Proof.

Pick the Bard if you create things, or want to, and if being seen by other people is the hard part.

Questions people ask

Do I need to be artistic to play the Bard?

No. The Create Something quest says it plainly: it doesn't have to be good, it just has to exist. A doodle, a few lines, a song you hum counts.

How long does the Bard class take?

Each class runs from level 0 to level 60. The whole eight-class program is planned at 8 to 14 months, so one class usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how many quests you do.

Do I only get Bard quests?

No. Every class shares the core daily, weekly and monthly quests, like Physical Training, Deep Focus and Daily Reading. The Bard adds two class quests a day that rotate among about ten versions each, plus one weekly and one monthly class quest, and you can add your own from the optional quest library.
