Bard School: quest catalogue
From UO:PvE Wiki
All 23 Bard School quest definitions, with prerequisites, ordered objectives and rewards.
Development source reviewed on 29 October 2026. In-game availability is unverified.
Using this catalogue#
Each guild has 20 permanent quests and three daily definitions. Only one daily offer per guild is selected for each UTC day. Objectives must be filed in sequence. Named contacts and towns are source directions; their actual placement and access still need an in-game check.
Daily entries below show base objective amounts. Accepted difficulty tier changes non-visit amounts and minimum encounter difficulty, while daily rewards remain fixed. See Daily guild commissions before treating a base number as the amount on your active commission. Reputation caps still apply.
