How to Level Up Bard's Tome?

Complete Inspiration Quests to Level Up

Inspiration Quests
Players can increase their Bard’s Tome level by completing Inspiration Quests in the Bardic's Inspiration to earn Verse, which functions as experience points (EXP) for the pass. Inspiration Quests are divided into Daily, Weekly, and Seasonal categories, each with its own reset schedule.

Progression is subject to a weekly Verse cap of 8,000, which resets every week. Once this limit is reached, players must wait for the weekly reset before earning additional Verse.

Bard’s Tome levels do not carry over between seasons. When purchasing a new Monthly Pass, progression resets and players begin again at Level 1 and you don't have to purchase Hardcover or Collector's edition to access these quests.

Use Purchase Level Feature to Level Up

purchase level up

Players can also increase their Bard’s Tome level by using the Purchase Level feature. By pressing the Purchase Level button next to their current level, a menu will appear allowing players to advance their level using Phoxene. Players can purchase levels up to Level 50, provided they have the required amount of Phoxene.

Take note that the exclusive skins from the Bard’s Tome Monthly Pass can also be purchased separately in the Cosmetics Shop for 1,280 Phoxene Plumule, which is approximately $20. Skins from previous Monthly Passes remain available for purchase in the Cosmetics Shop as well.

Are the Bard's Tome Pass Hardcover and Collector's Editions Worth It?

Yes, for Rare Geniemons and High-Value Items

Bard
The Bard’s Tome Monthly Pass is one of the best-value purchase options in Duet Night Abyss. It offers excellent rewards for players who want to level up faster and build their team more efficiently.

Currently, the pass offers exclusive Geniemon that can only be obtained through the Hardcover or Collector’s Edition. At Rank 30, players can select one guaranteed Geniemon from the available options, making the pass particularly appealing for collectors and competitive players aiming to strengthen their roster.

In addition to exclusive rewards, the Bard’s Tome provides Twilight Threads and various upgrade materials that significantly support faster progression. Compared to most items available in the in-game shop, the Bard’s Tome Monthly Pass stands out as one of the most cost-effective investments, particularly for active and consistent players.

Furthermore, players can obtain an exclusive character skin by purchasing the Collector’s Edition, which may be the more cost-effective option. The skin is also available separately in the Cosmetics Shop for 1,280 Phoxene Plumule, equivalent to approximately $20, unless it is discounted. The Collector’s Edition is priced at $21.90 and additionally includes bonus rewards.

What is the Bard's Tome Monthly Pass?

Monthly Progression-based Rewards

Bard
Bard’s Tome is a monthly battle pass in Duet Night Abyss. It gives players rewards as they progress and updates regularly with new content.

During events, Phoxhunters can increase their Verse Level by finishing Ballad quests and earn generous rewards.
