Design Methodology

When designing this skill, my aims were to take pressure off early game gold, while also providing a late game gold siphon. This makes it an attractive early game skill for adventure mode, and late game, especially once Township is up and running, the buffs are designed to be powerful enough that spending the gold is deemed worth it. By limiting to only a couple of bards, the player will need to spend their masses of gold to get the bonuses for the skills they are training.

Change Log

Training

Music is a brand new skill which combines themes from Astrology, Thieving and Agility. It provides an easy way to obtain gold and powerful bonuses that benefit other skills.

Earn tips (GP) while you train bards with various instruments, then hire the bards you have trained to provide you with powerful bonuses while you train other skills.

This mod includes a new mastery token for the skill and both skill cape and superior skill cape.

Mastery Unlocks

To unlock additional modifiers, once the respective mastery level has been attained, you can choose to unlock a modifier mastery.

Modifiers can be unlocked in any order once the mastery level has been attained, but once a mastery modifier has been unlocked the cost to hire the bard is increased.

The cost to unlock a modifier is as follows

Level 40 Mastery Unlock - 100,000 GP + 1 Essence of Music
Level 75 Mastery Unlock - 1,000,000 GP + 1 Essence of Music
Level 99 Mastery Unlock - 10,000,000 GP + 1 Essence of Music

Hiring a Bard

You can hire various bards to play on your behalf. These bards provide powerful bonuses to help you while you train other skills, however the more skilled a bard is, the more expensive it will become to hire them.

You can only hire a single bard at a time (two if you purchase the Band Practice upgrade).

The cost to hire a bard increases with the number of modifiers unlocked.

The cost for hiring a bard is as follows (assuming no hire cost reduction)

1st Mastery Unlocked - 10,000 GP
2nd Mastery Unlocked - 100,000 GP
3rd Mastery Unlocked - 1,000,000 GP
4th Mastery Unlocked - 10,000,000 GP

Drops

While training you have a chance to obtain Signet Ring Half A, Circlet of Rhaelyx and Mysterious Stones, just like any other non combat skill.

Tips (GP) earned while training do scale with global gold increases.

Sheet Music, Essence of Music, Gems and Utilities

Training Music has a 2% chance to drop sheet music, these are used for hired bard instrument upgrades.

Sheet Music drop chance is a flat 2% and is not modified by any rarity increases, the only other boost to sheet music drop chance is applying Diamond String to your hired bards instrument. With two bards, this means you can get a total of 12% drop chance for Sheet Music.

Hired Bard Instrument

Hired bard instruments can be enhanced in various ways. They can be upgraded, socketed with a gem and applied with an utility.

Upgrades are destroyed if you hire a new bard. Re-hiring a previously hired bard will require upgrading, socketing and applying the instrument again.

Upgrade

Upgrading a hired bards instrument unlocks a 5th modifier, to do so, you require an Essence of Music.

Essence of Music Upgrade from Sheet Music 1,000,000GP + 50 Sheet Music Unlocks a 5th modifier on hired bard instrument when upgraded.

Gem Socket

You can select one of three gems to socket into your bards instrument. Only one can be active at a time, and you may freely switch provided you have the resources.

Polished Topaz Gem Upgrade from Topaz 50,000 GP + 50 Topaz + 10 Sheet Music +5% Music GP

Polished Ruby Gem Upgrade from Ruby 50,000 GP + 50 Ruby + 10 Sheet Music +5% Music Skill XP

Polished Sapphire Gem Upgrade from Sapphire 50,000 GP + 50 Sapphire + 10 Sheet Music +5% Music Mastery XP

Utility

You can select one of three utilities to apply onto your bards instrument. Only one can be active at a time, and you may freely switch provided you have the resources.

Diamond String Upgrade from Bowstring 50,000 GP + 100 Diamond + 100 Bowstring + 50 Music Sheet +5% Sheet Music drop chance

Pristine Leather Upgrade from Leather 50,000 GP + 100 Diamond + 100 Leather + 50 Music Sheet -5% Music Interval

Mystic Oil Upgrade from Weird Gloop 50,000 GP + 100 Diamond + 100 Weird Gloop + 50 Music Sheet +1 additional reward roll while training Music

Mystic Oil will roll for rewards an additional time when training the music skill.

This means if you have Mystic Oil applied, every time you train an instrument, the rewards are rolled an additional time.

This includes:

pets
rare drops
summoning marks
mastery tokens

For example, if you have Band Practice with two bards hired, both equipped with Mystic Oil.

1 tick of training Music will roll 3 times for a chance to get the pet, rare drops, summoning marks and mastery tokens.

Band Practice

The shop sells an upgrade which unlocks a second bard slot. This upgrade requires Level 110 Music and costs 1B GP.

Concert Pass

The shop sells item charges for a Concert Pass.

Purchase Cost: Concert Pass Half (A) + Concert Pass Half (B) + 10M GP
When equipped in the offhand and has charges, the concert pass will provide skill xp for the skills the instrument supports.
Drop rate for Concert Pass Halves is 0.00075% or roughly equivalent to the Ancient Ring of Skill and Ancient Ring of Mastery drop chance from Fishing with a special chance of 5%.

For example, the Guitar supports Woodcutting and Firemaking, while training the Guitar with the Concert Pass equipped and charges available. Woodcutting and Firemaking will also gain Skill XP.

The skill must be unlocked to gain skill xp in Adventure mode.

The amount of Skill XP should be roughly 1 level worth for every 1,000 charges. This is done by finding the xp difference between the current level and the next level, then dividing the amount by 1,000.

For example:

level 55 requires 166,636 total experience and level 56 requires 184,040 total experience.
184,040 - 166,636 = 15,764 experience to level up from 55 to 56
15,764 / 1,000 = 15 experience per charge used

When you level up, it will shift the calculation to the next level.

The level calculation is clamped to a max skill level of 120, which roughly equates to ~10,000 xp per charge used at max level, and the minimum xp gained is clamped to 1, so the early levels will progress faster then 1 level per 1,000 charges since they would grant less then 1 xp without the clamp.

Skill Unlocks

Leveling the Music skill unlocks additional musical instruments to train your bards with.

Mastery Pool Unlocks

Mastery Pool checkpoints provide additional xp, mastery xp, music interval and hire cost reduction.

Mastery Unlocks

As you level up an instruments mastery, the tips you earn increases. You can also unlock additional bonuses and reduce the hire cost.

Skill Capes

The Music Skill Cape

The Superior Music Skill Cape

Pet

The Music skill also contains a pet: Muse which provides -0.15s Music Interval

Herblore

The Generous Gratuity Potion can be brewed using the Herblore skill.

Herblore Unlock Level: 80
Materials: 1 Pigtayle Herb + 1,000 GP
Tier 1: +10% Music GP, 15 Charges
Tier 2: +20% Music GP, 25 Charges
Tier 3: +30% Music GP, 35 Charges
Tier 4: +50% Music GP, 50 Charges

The potion has also been added to Potion Box II from Township, at the same rarity as the Herblore Potion.

Summoning

The Music skill has its own tablet. The Bard! The Bard is both a combat and skill tablet.

Tier: 3
Summoning Level Requirement: 90
Summoning Max Hit: 192
Skill Bonus: +5% Music GP

In addition, the Bard has synergies with every single other tablet. Since Music is a skill that focuses on boosting other skills, its synergy helps all other skills. It basically doubles the tablet effect of the tablet it is synergizing with (by granting the same tablet modifiers via the synergy).

Example: Devil gives -5% Firemaking Interval, if synergized with the Bard, the synergy will provide an addition -5% Firemaking Interval for a total of -10% Firemaking Interval being provided from the tablets.

The Fox synergy actually works in reverse, kind of... the Bard synergy doubles the Fox tablet modifier, which then boosts the Bards Summoning max hit.

Agility

Agility has been modified so that the Obstacle 10 - Waterfall now also benefits the Music skill.

Astrology

Astrology has been modified so that the Variel constellation now also benefits the Music skill.

Township

The Music skill adds a Music Scroll of XP granting +3% Music Skill XP. It functions the same as other scrolls of xp.

It requires level 15 Township and level 15 Music to purchase, with a default value of 80 planks per scroll.

The Music skill adds a Music Outfit, which is fully integrated just like all the other skilling outfits.

The Circus

The jesters have emerged from The Circus. The jesters are notorious pranksters. They have been rivals with the bards since the beginning of time, known for stealing instruments, many tussles have broken out between the bards and the jesters.

The Circus is a new combat area that contains 3 types of jesters to fight.
