Dirty Dirty Bards 03/15/2007 06:42 AM CDT
I like the new cleaner instruments, but now that they hardly go dirty or out of tune, I find myself not randomly pulling them out for app as much because you have broken my obsessive compulsiveness. I also find myself shaving less, because the timer for stubble and instrument dust seemed rather... close, if not exactly the same.

Yay random thoughts.

I'd heard of skiffles before, but "razor to the face" seems a bit too hardcore.

I think, in a way, it is better to know your instruments are going to be cleaner. I have a question, though. I'm still a small Bard, and I've heard that cleaning an instrument helps with it being bonded to you (I'm assuming it's a special attachment between you and the instrument), so if we need to clean them less, will it be harder to bond for us newer Bards?


Thanks in advance!

Bonding in it's prior form went away with the original instrument rewrite that Deryka did. Dart has mentioned a couple of times that instrument bonding will be coming back in the future, but he's also stated that he wants it to be very much a concious choice on the part of the bard to bond with a particular instrument, not just something triggered because you happened to pick one up and clean it a few times - something it was very possible for experienced bards to do in the past.
