Swappable weapons

Hi there, I answered your question on the Weapon talk:Bar mace (crafted) page, but that probably means we can do a better job documenting that on Elanthipedia. Would you mind replying here with a couple of the places you might have looked for the information? I'll try to update the SWAP page with information as well. Cheers! - padhg (talk) 10:55, 12 August 2017 (CDT)

Thank you so much! I looked on the Bar mace page, and the above Weapon talk page, and I looked for a two-handed weapons page but there wasn't any. I think I might have looked under heavy blunt weapons as well, but I didn't see anything there, either. Gehayi, 12:05 p.m., 13 August 2017 (EDT)

Instrument Messaging

Could you give me a bit of context for your question? There are tons of different messages for instruments, depending on what's being played and how skilled they are. Are you just looking for a list of things to squelch? -CARAAMON (talk) 12:12, 14 August 2017 (CDT)

I don't know what "squelch" means in this context. I'm looking for a list of messages for stringed and percussion instruments, depending on what style and what type of song is being played, as a) I am having a hard time figuring out if I'm making any progress and b) I could use the messaging in performance if I actually knew it. Also, I'm finding that it's possible to improve in performance skill while making no progress on the messaging--or to improve in one style but not another (despite not having practiced one more than the other). It's extraordinarily confusing, and I'd really like to know what messages I should be looking for and how I can improve my skill. Because just practicing over and over isn't telling me either.

Performance moves like most skills, slowly. To improve your skill you need to play a challenging song on your instrument. You will get the most training when playing with a "slightest hint of difficulty". This means the song is just above your level and ideal for practice. If you "fumble" the song, it is too hard. If you play the song "master"fully, it is below your level. As a point of reference, by a little over 400 ranks in Performance you'll be able to play a gavotte on the easiest instruments (such as a lyre), but only a wedding march on harder instruments (such as bagpipes or harp). By a little over 600 ranks you'll be able to play any song on the easiest instruments. - padhg (talk) 23:39, 14 August 2017 (CDT)
