In Ultima Online, barding difficulty refers to the challenge level of successfully using the Provocation or Peacemaking bard skills on a creature. The higher the barding difficulty, the harder it is to influence the target with bardic abilities. Key Factors Affecting Barding Difficulty: Creature Type & Power - Stronger creatures (e.g., dragons, balrons) have higher barding difficulty. - Weaker creatures (e.g., mongbats, rats) have low difficulty. Skill Level Required - Provocation: Requires high skill to turn creatures against each other. - Peacemaking: Needs sufficient skill to calm aggressive creatures. Bonus from Instruments - Using better instruments (e.g., exceptional instruments, slayer instruments) reduces difficulty. Slayer Instrument Bonus - Using an instrument with a slayer property (e.g., Repond Slayer for undead) significantly lowers difficulty against matching creatures. Stat & Gear Modifiers - Musicianship skill improves success rate. - Gear with Provocation/Peacemaking bonuses (e.g., +skill jewelry, armor) helps. How to Check Barding Difficulty? In-game, you can see the difficulty when targeting a creature with Provocation or Peacemaking. Higher numbers mean harder success (e.g., "That looks too difficult to provoke." means your skill is too low). Tips for Success: Maximize Provocation/Peacemaking (120 skill is ideal for end-game creatures). Use Slayer Instruments for tough mobs. Raise Musicianship (reduces fizzle chance). Wear skill-boosting gear (e.g., +15 or +20 skill items). Would you like specific strategies for certain creatures?

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
