These songs cannot have their duration stacked, as spellsongs are renewed automatically when the duration elapses, unless otherwise noted. They are also all self-cast, with some songs providing benefits to the Bard's group where indicated.

If these spells are known to you:

  • It is typically useful to continue singing 1003, 1006, 1007, 1010 and 1019 while hunting.
  • Bards with low total mana might want to avoid 1006 until they acquire more.
  • Bards with low total mana might want to stop songs while resting.
  • If a bard subjected to the multi-song penalty while hunting, it can also be useful to stop singing 1003 before song renewal and reapply after.
  • As a bard gains a higher max mana and spellsong duration, it is recommended to sing 1017, and stop before renew cycles, and reapply after.
