The melodies from plucked strings are able to reach even the ears of distant allies. String Instruments are good for soothing the bodies and minds of allies with a Paeon or Ballad.

  • One of the primary magic skills of the Bard. It is used when a String Instrument is equipped. Singing Skill is also taken into account when the String Instrument Skill is being used.

Note: Since String Instruments are equippable by Bards only, this skill is useless when subbed.
