So once more thanks to me tendency to rely on skills alone, I find that my bard is sitting on 9557 gold from my last missions and I don't know what to do with it. Currently he has these things of note:
Mithril Chain +1
MW Buckler +1
Masterwork Whip +1
Handy Havard Sack
Belt of Dex +2
Sleeves of many garments
Traveler's anytools
Potions of Protection from Evil (x4)
Potions of Lesser Restoration (x2)
Potion of Fly
Ring of Feather-Falling
Anti-Toxin
Cloak of Resistance
He's currently level 6 and is actually one more job away from hitting level 7. He's a Sound Striker Bard who mostly supports and shoots Weird Words at the enemy during battle, but otherwise serves as the party's talker and knowledge monkey.

When I see 'bard' one of the first things I think of is 'headband of charisma'.
You may or may not want to invest in a wand or two. CLW is a classic, and you can use your Diplomacy skill to talk the other party members into sharing the 750 it costs.
Aside from that, it might help to know if there's any weak points you need to shore up, or strong points you want to emphasise.

Right, I should probably put up some stats too.
Lucius Cypher Musetouched Aasimar Sound Striker
Str: 8
Dex: 19
Con: 12
Int: 10
Wis: 10
Cha: 20
Also I do have a Wand of CLW (Got that with Prestige). As for weak points, I mainly rely on Weird Words to do damage. I do use my whip often however, which is why I'm going to get Whip Mastery next level (I know it's not the most optimal thing to do with a Bard, but I already got weapon focus). I suppose "Direct" combat is something of a weakness of mines, as my Bard's AC is a somewhat respectable 22. I was thinking of buying an Agile Rapier +1 for melee, but I sort of think that if he's in a melee he's already in a pickle.
I typically play Lucius as a supporting type, buffing, setting up flanks, tripping the enemy, that sort of thing. Obviously he can't really take much of a hit and his damage output without using Weird Words is meh.
