Instruments are the primary way which all players learn and use the performance skill. While some can be played alone, many others require a tool in order to use correctly. Ownership of an instrument can also allow a user to practice the appraisal skill by utilizing the ASSESS command to see greater details about it. While only Bards and Traders are able to get all the information about an instrument through ASSESS, any member of any guild can get basic knowledge.

In addition to the ASSESS command, all instruments are able to be used with the RECALL system. Use of RECALL does not grant any experience in any skill, but does provide players with a simple way to find out more about the instrument itself like typical construction, how it is sounds when played, if there are any racial associations, and what tool it is generally played with. Here is a list of Instrument recalls.

Clerics and Paladins can gain devotion or soul state respectively by flawlessly playing a psalm or hymn for an Immortal in a holy place.

Bards and non-Bards of sufficient skill can increase the spirit regeneration of all those in the room by flawlessly playing a minuet (or higher) on any percussion instrument.

Training

The best experience per time ratio is achieved by finding an instrument/song combination that is played "with only the slightest hint of difficulty."

Instrument Quality

Instruments come in a variety of different quality levels. This currently does not impact anything beyond the amount the instrument is worth. However, higher value instruments can give more experience when APPRAISED and ASSESSED. Bards see this information in both ASSESS and APPRAISE. Non-Bards only see this in ASSESS

Note: In addition to the normal instrument quality ranges, there are some irregular quality ranges. These are mostly due to instrument alterations.
For example, if your instrument was originally finely made and then you had it altered by a merchant in a special way to go down in quality, it might end up looking very crudely made, and was once finely made.
Order Quality
1 very crudely made
2 very poorly made
3 slipshod work
4 of average quality
5 of good quality
6 well made
7 finely made
8 very finely made
9 created with exquisite craftsmanship
10 created with masterful craftsmanship
11 created as if with the hands of Faenella herself

Stringed Instruments

They are the creation of the goddess Faenella.

Stringed instruments produce sound when tautly-drawn strings are plucked, bowed or strummed, causing them to vibrate. This class of instruments includes zithers and lyres (strummed), fiddles and violins (bowed) and harps (plucked).

Stringed instruments range in size from 10 to 50 stones and can have anywhere from 4 to 24 strings. Some require a pick or a bow in order to be played and all stringed instruments require tuning as the strings gradually lose tension due to inactivity.

In addition to a number of hand-held and portable stringed instruments, there are also some stand-alone instruments (such as harpsichords and cellos) available for playing across Elanthia.


Stringed instruments include

  • aeolian harp
  • angle harp
  • bagana
  • balalaika
  • bandoura
  • bouzouki
  • bow harp
  • cistre
  • cittern
  • cobza

Percussion Instruments

These instruments were created by the god Idon.

Percussion instruments are played by striking, scraping or shaking them. Some require special tools such as tippers to play, while others are simple enough to play in one hand. Similarly, some have skins that require tuning and can be broken, necessitating replacement before playing again.

Some instruments require tools to be played, ie: bodhrans require a tipper, drums require sticks, and other instruments may require a hammer.


Percussion instruments include

  • bodhran
  • bones
  • castanets
  • claves
  • damaru
  • doumbec
  • drum
  • gansa gambang
  • gourd rattle
  • naqqara
  • shaman's drum
  • shekere
  • shell castanets
  • spoons
  • steel drum - second pan
  • stone castanets
  • tabla
  • tambourine/darje
  • tapani
  • wooden scraper
  • zills
