Hi I start to play for ministrel class. Im 6 level :o)
My question is... Which weapon can I use to play (dagger,sword?)

And second question ... Is Ministrel solo class? I think, If can I exp alone without others? or I have exp with group?

You play lute, drum and pipe of some kind. While you can solo as a minstrel its not the easiest.

Minstrel can spec in either Slash weapons or Thrust Weapons. Most go slash, which you should unless you are saracen specced.

Soloing on a minstrel is tough at early levels. Your damage output is not very good, and your armor/shield is mediocre. Your insta shouts don't damage enough early, so there will be much resting in between fights, but sure, if you want, you can solo. Any toon CAN solo, just stick to fighting yellows, and if struggling on them, go to blues.

He means what do you have to have equipped to cast the songs.

For minstrels, you use either lutes, flutes, or drums depending on the song (speed and power use drum, mez uses flute, and heal uses lute). You can also find harps that will function as all three instruments, which is what I recommend. Fletchers (correct me if I'm wrong) can make harps, and there is also an artifact necklace (Pheobus) that can summon one at level ten. Seeing as you're level 6, just go with the lute/flute/drum setup for now.

Once you get used to the class, they can be very effective PvE soloers. A high instruments spec is recommended so you can get pets, though. My 50 minst is specced 50 inst, 45 slash and can solo one red w/o pet and several with one.
