Rhapsodist armor is a craftable post-Moon Lord Bard armor set crafted from Primordial Essences. It takes a total of 3 of each Primordial Essence to craft a single full suit, or 4 of each if you want to craft one of each headpiece. It is currently the best Bard set available.
It consists of a Rhapsodist's Chest-Woofer and Rhapsodist's Boots as well as two different headpieces: the Soloist's Hat and Inspirator's Helmet. Note that only one of the headpieces may be equipped at once but both will trigger a set bonus with the body and legs.
The Soloist's Hat gives 16 defense, 10% increased symphonic playing speed, 12% increased symphonic critical strike chance, 15% increased inspiration regeneration rate, increases wind instrument homing speed by 10%, and causes string instrument projectiles to bounce an additional time; and the Inspirator's Helmet gives 24 defense, 25% increased inspiration regeneration rate, causes percussion critical strikes to deal 15% more damage, increases maximum inspiration by 5, increases the potency of Inspiration Notes dropped by enemies, and gives a random level I empowerment to all nearby allies when an inspiration note is picked up . The Rhapsodist's Chest-Woofer gives 28 defense, 18% increased symphonic damage, 6% increased symphonic critical strike chance, 15% increased chance for inspiration notes to drop from enemies, and increases the duration of symphonic empowerments by 5 seconds; and Rhapsodist's Boots gives 24 defense, 12% increased symphonic damage, 10% increased symphonic critical strike chance, 20% increased movement speed and increases maximum inspiration by 3.
A full set always provides a total of at least 52 defense, 30% increased symphonic damage, 10% increased symphonic playing speed, 16% increased symphonic critical strike chance, 20% increased movement speed, 15% increased chance for inspiration notes to drop from enemies, increases maximum inspiration by 3 and increases the duration of your symphonic empowerments by 5 seconds, in addition to any stats given by the particular headpiece. When wearing the Soloist's Hat, its set bonus will trigger the Endless Creativity buff when the Armor Ability key is pressed, granting the player infinite inspiration, increasing playing speed by 75% and increases symphonic damage by 35% for 10 seconds. If the Inspirator's Helmet is worn, its set bonus causes pressing the Armor Ability key to give the user and every nearby ally every empowerment at level III for 15 seconds; this ability requires 20 inspiration to be activated. Both of these abilities inflict the Creative Block debuff on the user, preventing them from using either ability again for 60 seconds.
