Instrument progression

Unlock order is a route, not a power ranking.

Evidence and scope

I walked the price column from free to 35,000 Chimes and inserted quest instruments where a badge exists. I left Tall Trees shop prices blank where the table had dashes.

Route

Grove: lute, guitar, tambourine, violin, Floral Flute quest, lyre trials, Ocarina statues.

Bluestone: Prospector's Lute 5,000, Blackwood Fiddle 9,500, Deepchord quest plus 16,000.

Sorin's Respite: Stillwater Flute 24,000; Lotus Hymn 19,000 after quest access. Sanctum Magus: Runed Horn 32,000; Soaring Tone 35,000; Magus' Requiem quest. These are region groups, not a mandatory purchase order.

Tall Trees: The Red Wind, Autumn's Grace, and Heartwood Drum are purchases in the community INSTRUMENTS list; Crooked Chime and Ballad of Three Reigns are quests. Prices are not confirmed here.

  1. Take the lute.
  2. Buy the guitar when 100 Chimes is comfortable.
  3. Finish statues for the Ocarina before you need songs.
  4. Do Deepchord when you are ready for the memory puzzle.

FAQ

Should I skip the tambourine?

The 750 price is the published sink. Whether it is worth it depends on the card you see, which has conflicting published stats.
