Hello,
I just tested it and noticed that when a new player starts the game, when he talks to 129022 [Johnny Dalker], he gives us the Adventurer set. When I talk to the NPC as a spell, the weapon he gives me (you can see it in the picture below) is Tier 13 and Durability 120, which is very nice. If I start the game with Bard, the weapons he gives me when I talk to 129022 [Johnny Dalker] (you can see it below) are Tier 7 and Durability are random.
I think it would be good to do this beauty for the other classes that are new to the game for the Bard classes as well.
