How to Unlock the Bard
When you can unlock the Bard will depend on your Enshrouded playthrough. The Bard was introduced in the Melodies of the Mire update, which was released on June 5th, 2024. So, if you started playing Enshrouded when it was first released, unlocking the Bard might be the last thing you do. If you're new to Enshrouded, you will be able to unlock the Follow the Melody quest by interacting with your Flame Altar after unlocking the Revelwood Ancient Spire and/or reaching level 12.
Once you begin the Follow the Melody quest, you will find her Tomb in the Sunken Ancient City just north of the Blackmire Ancient Spire.
All Bard Quests
Once you've unlocked Valory the Bard, return to your base and use your Summoning Staff to invite her to your camp. You will then be able to start a separate series of quests exclusive to her. Bard quests can be identified by the small Lute icon next to the quest name.

All Bard Equipment
Most of the unlockable survivors have workshops and/or production places that can be crafted or obtained from their specific retrieval quests. Unlocking these workshops is usually how you unlock new recipes with the Craftspeople. Valory doesn't need a workstation, so you are free to craft her wares as soon as you unlock her.
Here is everything Valory the Bard has to offer:

Bard Crafting Abilities
The Bard crafts musical instruments that can be played alone or with friends. Playing music boosts your Rested buff, which can greatly help in the field when you're exploring or during combat. The Rested buff boosts your stamina and stamina regen.
When playing music, you will see a purple bar at the top left corner of the screen. Playing music by yourself raises it halfway while playing music with two or more people fills the bar up to the top. If you're playing in a warm, sheltered area, playing music with two or more people will raise your comfort level dramatically. Don't forget to do so before taking on the Hollow Halls or any other challenges Enshrouded has in store for you.
