Instruments used by a Bard to add effects to fellow party members or a party 's enemy. Most of the instruments give boosts to certain songs that can be sung by a bard, which is why it's always great to have the +1 versions of the instruments.
Buff songs played with Wind Instruments have an area of effect of 10' .
Debuff songs played with Wind Instruments have higher Magic Accuracy than songs played with String Instruments . Mary's Horn and Piccolo +1 don't boost the songs' effects as much as Nursemaid's Harp and Sorrowful Harp , but the songs land more consistently.
Each +1 to a song on an instrument increases its duration by 10%, and also increases its effect. All buff songs have a base duration of 120 seconds, or 2 minutes.
The maximum equipment bonus to Wind Instrument Skill is +52, from Gjallarhorn , Nereid Ring x2, Wind Torque , Wind Earring , Musical Earring , Minstrel's Coat , Bard's Cuffs +1 , Choral Cannions +1 , and Oracle's Pigaches .
The maximum combined bonus to Wind Instrument Skill and Singing Skill is +86, from Gjallarhorn , Chanter's Staff , Marduk's Tiara , Wind Torque , Wind Earring , Musical Earring , Nereid Ring x2, Minstrel's Coat , Choral Cuffs +1 , Astute Cape , Marching Belt , Choral Cannions +1 , and Oracle's Pigaches .
