	Optimal skips for achieving a Bad performance ~~optimally~~:
			Note that the 3-note and 6-note songs have no flexibility, all notes need to be gold. If any hits white instead you will need to skip 1 less, so try to skip later rather than earlier.

			Optimal skips and flexibility for achieving a Bad performance:
	* 3 note song- skip 1, need 1/2 golds		* 3 note song- skip 1, need 1/2 golds
	* 4 note song- skip 1, need 1/3 golds		* 4 note song- skip 1, need 1/3 golds

	The idea is to minimize the number of notes that need to be played. Additionally, the number of notes the song has will impact how much flexibility there is in terms of hitting the note on the center gold portion or if you can partially miss and hit the outskirts which is the white portion.

 One of the biggest challenges of learning bard is juggling your utility slots. Switching between instruments, torch, and potions can be tough. The following is an optimized layout.
@@ Line 122: / Line 124: @@
 Left side top slot should contain a consumable. This is because when you right click a consumable in your inventory it will always try to go to the top left slot. This makes it much easier to swap potions, bandages, and other consumables instead of having to drag it to the correct slot.
-Left side middle slot is the flute. We want the flute on the opposite side of the lute so we can easily switch between playing the flute and lute for various PvP debuffs, like shriek of weakness and lament of langour.
