The '''Musicianship''' skill is required to use the '''[[Provocation]]''', '''[[Discordance]]''', and '''[[Peacemaking]]''' barding skills.
==Instruments==
{{For|the bonuses from crafted and magical instruments|Modifiers#Instruments}}
An instrument is required to make use of the '''Musicianship''', '''Provocation''', '''Discordance''', and '''Peacemaking''' skills. Instruments can be obtained in several ways:

* Purchased from a '''Bard NPC'''.
* Crafted with the '''[[Carpentry]]''' skill.
* Dropped as '''Magical Loot''' from creatures.
{{Instruments}}
== Mechanics ==
* A player's '''Effective Barding Skill''' in Discordance, Peacemaking, and Provocation is capped by their '''Musicianship skill'''.
* A player '''cannot receive more skill bonuses''' than their Musicianship skill allows (i.e., a player with 25 Musicianship can only gain 25 Effective Barding Skill from instruments, supplemental skills, Lyric Aspect Armor, etc.).
* A player's '''Effective Barding Skill''' is calculated as:
  <code>(Base Barding Skill + Instrument Skill Bonuses + Instrument Slayer Bonuses + Skill Slayer Bonuses +
   Lyric Aspect Armor Bonus + Mastery Chain Link Bonus)</code>
* The '''Barding Success Chance''' formula is:
  (Effective Barding Skill / 100%) - (CreatureDifficultyValue * 1.0%)
* The '''Minimum Barding Success Chance''' formula is:
  (33% * (Effective Barding Skill / 100))  
* '''Boss Barding effects''' reduce a creature’s:
** '''Melee Attack Speed''' by '''25%'''.
** '''Casting Speed''' by '''25%'''.
** '''Ability Cooldown Rate''' by '''25%'''.

== Bard Songs ==
* Players can use Barding skills to target the ground and activate a '''Barding Song'''.
* When activated, the effects will only apply to:
** The player.
** Any green-flagged allies.
** Party members within '''50 tiles'''.
* Players can only benefit from the '''highest-value song''' within range.
* A player’s '''Effective Barding Skill''' for songs is capped by their '''Musicianship skill'''. For example, 70 Musicianship and 90 Provocation would mean the player has 70 Effective Provocation.
* Casting a Barding Song has a '''10-second cooldown''', separate from other Barding skill uses.

== Barding Breaks ==
'''While a 'non-Boss creature is Provoked or Pacified, every second there is a chance they will suffer a '''Barding Break''' based on the formula:'''

<code>((CreatureDifficulty / 100) * 1%)</code>

'''The Barding Break duration is:'''

<code>(CreatureDifficulty / 10) seconds</code>

'''Effects of a Barding Break:'''
* A **"Barding Break"** message appears above the creature.
* The creature’s '''Provocation and Peacemaking effects''' immediately end.
* The creature becomes '''immune''' to Provocation and Peacemaking for the duration.
* While affected, the creature suffers:
** '''-50% Attack Speed'''.
** '''-50% Casting Speed'''.
** '''+50% delay on Abilities''' (same as Boss Barding Effects).
* When the '''Barding Break ends''', the creature gains '''Aggro Priority''' towards the bard for '''10 seconds'''.

Break Barrier Bonuses:
* Players attacking a creature affected by a Barding Break receive:
**+20% Damage Bonus (<code>(20% * (Highest Printed Barding Skill))</code>).
**+20% Damage Resistance.
Against '''Bosses''', these bonuses are reduced to '''50%'''.

== Defensive Barding ==
* Defensive Barding applies '''only when a player is flagged in PvP'''.
* Players will receive Defensive Barding '''if they do not have [[Heat of Battle]] active'''.
* Defensive Barding provides:
** '''Wrestling Skill Bonus:''' of <code>((Discordance Skill + Peacemaking Skill + Provocation Skill) / 2)</code> to a max of 100 skill.
** '''Magic Resist Skill Bonus:'''of <code>((Discordance Skill + Peacemaking Skill + Provocation Skill) / 2)</code> to a max of 100 skill.
* '''Defensive Barding does NOT:'''
** Contribute to skill requirements for '''Codexes, Grimoires, etc.'''.
** Grant any unique PvM bonuses (e.g., Wrestling Mana Refund, Magic Resist Siphon).
* If a player already has '''higher printed Wrestling or Magic Resist skill''', the printed skill value will always take priority.
