Hey, adventurer~!

Enjoying life and making the most of your time in Erinn?

Adventures and battles are important,

but taking time to relax matters just as much~

There's plenty of fun to be had lighting a campfire and gathering around to play music together,

or crafting gathering tools that suit you perfectly and heading out to collect materials.

I'm curious how many different instruments you've collected, adventurer,

and how much you've raised your Life Power.

If you haven't had a chance to try many instruments yet,

or low Life Power is holding you back, this guide should help!

Each town's general store sells a variety of instruments.

They support different numbers of voices and come in different grades, too.

Sheet music has slots for a melody and harmonies.

The more voices an instrument supports, the more harmonies you can add.

For example,

a piece with a melody and two harmonies needs a 3-voice instrument.

If you mostly play solo, a 3-voice instrument is a good choice.

For ensembles, 1-voice instruments work well, with each player taking a single part.

Higher-grade instruments have a subtly richer sound and a different appearance.

If you love collecting things, you might want to pick up one of each!

Here's a handy rundown of which towns sell which instruments,

along with their gold prices and any extra requirements.

All but the most basic instruments require a certain amount of Life Power.

That's why it's worth steadily building up your Life Power, too.

I'll show you a handy way to gather materials quickly and efficiently

while leveling up each of your Life Skills.

The trick is endless gathering, using specific materials in just the right spots!

Of course, it's not truly endless,

but it lets you keep gathering almost indefinitely.

Just check in every now and then to make sure your character is still hard at work.

Don't forget to stock up on gathering tools and put them in your inventory before you start~

Use the guide below to set the listed items as your gathering targets, then get gathering!

*Equip a Swordsman weapon for a movement speed buff that lets you move around and gather faster.

*You can look up golden gathering items under Collection>Adventure Journal Collection Rewards>Tir Chonaill or Colhen Treasure Material Chest>Contents Info.

Instead of stressing yourself out trying to rush through it, take your time and enjoy the process.

The important thing is to keep going!

Keep at it little by little, and you'll reach your Life Power goal, adventurer.

I hope you have a great time discovering all the different experiences Erinn has to offer~

That's all for today's tips!

See you all next time~
