Peacemaking is one of several Bard skills available in Legends of Ultima. It allows the bard to play soothing music to calm creatures and monsters, preventing any further fighting.
Peacemaking is extremely useful when paired with Animal Taming, as players can calm aggressive creatures prior to attempting to tame them.
With 100 Peacemaking, the duration is increased to:
10 second bonus + 20 seconds base duration + 10 seconds (if GM Discordance) + 10 seconds (if GM Provocation) +/- 10 seconds if you have the correct slayer flute or not.
This gives a maximum duration of 10s + 20s + 2 X 10s + 10s = 60s
If a mob is hit for over 50 damage:
Up to 60% chance - maximum of 10% scaling up with Peacemaking skill level - 10% (if GM Discordance) - 10% (if GM Provocation) +/- 10% if you have the correct slayer flute or not.
This gives a minimum break chance on damage over 50 of 60% - 10% - 2 X 10% - 10% = 20%
Peacemaking requires Musicianship in order to successfully perform. Upon a successful Peacemaking attempt, the creature will become ‘calm’, preventing them from targetting the player, performing melee damage, and casting spells.
To use the Peacemaking skill, right-click an instrument and select ‘Peacemaking’ and then select the desired target.
Alternatively, it is possible create a /custom macro for /peace, which can then be placed onto the hotbar and selected for use more quickly.
For each bard skill that is 100, the distance range requirement is increased to a slightly higher range as a perk to grandmasters of the class.
This is a Peacemaking guide that is focused on creatures that are slow and do not cast spells and/or have abilities that can easily be avoided.
Due to how barding difficulty works, this guide can be followed for the other secondary bardic skills.
Peacemaking Skill | Recommended Creatures | Locations |
0-30 | Bard Trainer (300gp) | Britain, Cove, Minoc, Yew |
30-60 | Ettins, Lizardfolk, Orcs | Ettins, Lizardfolk, Orcs are randomly found throughout the overworld of Britannia; however, Ettins are more concentrated on the second floor of Despise, Lizardfolk at the Bog of Desolation which is far north of the right side of Britain, and Orcs within their Orc Forts (other dangerous Orcs reside there)—one located south of Cove from a ledge found to the left of Cove's entrance and the other is located far south of Yew above Shame. |
60-70 | Earth Elementals, Wyverns, Drakes | Earth Elementals are found on the second floor of Despise alongside Ettins, and Drakes are plentiful in Wind Mountains among Harpies and on the second floor of Destard alongside Wyverns and other hostile reptilian creatures that may be more plentiful than them. |
70-80 | Dull Elementals, Wyverns, Drakes | Dull Elementals are found on the second floor of Shame, and Drakes and Wyverns are found in the same location mentioned for 60-70. From experience shared by another Tamer, Drakes and Wyverns may potentially train Peacemaking enough to reach GM. |
80-100 | Ogre Lords, Drakes | Ogre Lords are found on the fourth floor of Despise and on the first floor of Ice, and Dragons are found on the second floor of Destard among Drakes and other reptilian creatures. |
