A Bard capable of performing may choose their present set by summoning the performance NUI menu with chat command !perform, short alias !per. Unique performances are performed by using the sheet in the inventory as one would a scroll.
All sets have a level and Performance skill requirement, and may have other requirements in order to play or ascend its tiers. Soft ranks in Performance do apply for the Performance skill requirement listed so long as any other prerequisite is met.
