Song flashing can be confusing, however, if a song is replayed before the 20 seconds is over, the buff does not restart. If another person receives a song buff, then the Bard cancels it at 19 seconds the effect will only last for one more second instead of an additional 20 seconds (for a total of 39 seconds). The effect will only be refreshed 20 seconds after the other person initially touches the song area of effect. So if the Bard plays the song with the person being buffed within it, then immediately cancels it, the other person will stay buffed for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds or more (21+ seconds to be safe), the Bard can play the song again to give the buff to the other person again. This is extremely hard to track without external timers or resources, so sometimes Bards permanently keep the song on. If the Bard does wish to use offensive skills while not playing the song, they can do it by dropping the song and replaying the song for a couple of seconds each time and then replaying it when about 20 seconds or more since the last time the song was played. | Song flashing can be confusing, however, if a song is replayed before the 20 seconds is over, the buff does not restart.

Overview
After a life of plucking their bows, many Archers feel the itch to strum strings of a different kind. The Bards of Ragnarok Online are the right choice for the idealists among Archers who wish to change the world with their poetry.
Job Change Guide
See Bard Job Change Guide for detailed information.
In order to become a Bard, one must go to Comodo and look for the Roaming Bard. The applicant has to perform various tasks:
- Item Collection
- Making friends with Mr. Snowman in Lutie
- Singing Test
Once these have been completed, the applicant will be made a bard by the Roaming Bard.
Dagger Swapping
A necessary technique among Bards is to stop a song by switching to a dagger when performing. When done this way, songs immediately end. While this has the same effect as Amp, switching weapons can be done at any time, whereas Amp requires SP and can only be used 5 seconds after the song has started. Although it is also possible to cancel a song by equipping a Bow, changing to a Dagger has the advantage of keeping a shield equipped. Do note, though, that switching to a dagger will unequip any arrows. This does not occur when switching to a Bow.
Flashing A tactic used to make full use of the Bard. The Bard casts a song for an instant, then the dagger or bow switches to a damage or status-dealing configuration to participate in combat. This works because a song's effect stays on players for about 20 seconds after a person leaves the song's AoE. One can also flash by moving around a large formation of players with a single song up.
Song flashing can be confusing, however, if a song is replayed before the 20 seconds is over, the buff does not restart. If another person receives a song buff, then the Bard cancels it at 19 seconds the effect will only last for one more second instead of an additional 20 seconds (for a total of 39 seconds). The effect will only be refreshed 20 seconds after the other person initially touches the song area of effect. So if the Bard plays the song with the person being buffed within it, then immediately cancels it, the other person will stay buffed for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds or more (21+ seconds to be safe), the Bard can play the song again to give the buff to the other person again. This is extremely hard to track without external timers or resources, so sometimes Bards permanently keep the song on. If the Bard does wish to use offensive skills while not playing the song, they can do it by dropping the song and replaying the song for a couple of seconds each time and then replaying it when about 20 seconds or more since the last time the song was played.
