This article is about the resource used by troubadour specialization. For other uses, see Note (disambiguation).

Fully-charged Troubadour Notes

Note is a profession mechanic of Troubadour, an elite specialization of Mesmer. It partially replaces the Mesmer's Illusion mechanic for extending the on-field duration of their Instruments.

The number of accumulated Notes is visually represented by a set of musical notes replacing the Mesmer's traditional 3 clone charges on the skill bar. One visual Note equates to one charge, for a maximum total of 3 Note charges.
