Provocation

0 - 40: Buy from an NPC Bard in New Haven.

I will admit the following training method will get you in trouble with the GMs, so use at your own risk. However, it is used all the time and you can probably get off with a warning if a GM bothers you about it.

Get three boats and place them in a triangle pattern. Tame 2 animals from the following list and release them onto seperate boats. Sail the boats to somewhere secluded and start provocating the two animals onto each other from the third boat. Repeat.

In order to really maximize your skill gain, you should take advantage of either a Skill Tutor Statuette or a Crystal Ball of Knowledge. You can stay in the "Optimal" difficulty range by switching between NPC-bought, GM-made exceptional and slayer instruments as needed.

40 - 65: Provoke Bulls, Scorpions, Great Harts, Polar Bears and Gamans.

65 - 90: Provoke Beetles.

90 - 100: Provoke Hiryus.

100 - 120: Provoke Cu Sidhes.

Mastery
Indoctrination of a Battle Rouser is a quest for learning the Bard Masteries of the Provocation path: Inspire and Invigorate. In order to begin, you will need to have at least 90.0 skill in Provocation and Musicianship and you should locate a Battle Rouser NPC at any conservatory on Trammel [Bard Mastery Quests - Battle Rouser (Trammel)] or Felucca [Bard Mastery Quests - Battle Rouser (Felucca)].
