The Music Festival is upon us, when everyone can run around and pretend they're Kenny-G! More importantly, we’ve finally gotten an event before the UK/EU servers so it’s our turn to have our guide out first! YAY!
We had a lot of participation for the Spring Rain Festival guide so please help us make this guide as accurate as possible again, which means post, post, post!
Have fun playing with your instruments!

Activities!
Activity: Music Parade
Activity NPC: Jade Baglama
Description: The parade takes place six (6) times a day and lasts for one (1) hour. The times are 6AM, 12PM, 4PM, 8PM, 10PM, and 12AM PST. [Please read the note about the event times] Jade Baglama will ask you to bring a particular melody theme back and will give you an instrument to play/place melodies on other players. Once you've gotten the correct themed melody (buff) and have played your own instrument on yourself, return to Jade Baglama to receive your reward. During each event, the parade group will play two (2) random instruments per channel throughout that hour. If you’re lucky the parade will have the musical theme you need in one of the channels. If not, event instruments last for 24 hours, so ask around for those who could help you, and keep an eye out for those who need your musical skills.
Rewards:
- 4 x
Note (No Title)
- 6 x
Note (With Title)
Thanks to everyone's help, we have found four (4) titles to the parade activity. Are there more? Let us know!
Title: One-Man Band
- Alpenhorn; Clarinet; French Horn; Guitar; Horn of Demeter; Lute; Saxophone; Wind Instrument; (Any Order)
Title: Sunrise Beach
- Guitar; Lute; Saxophone; (Any Order)
Title: Musicians of Bremen
- Guitar; French Horn; Saxophone; Clarinet; (Any Order)
Title: The Highlands Song
- Alpenhorn; Clarinet; Horn of Demeter; Wind Instrument; (Any Order)
NOTE: Keep in mind that the events will happen one (1) hour earlier than the information given by the activity NPCs. This will be corrected some day, but until then this activity will be at 5AM, 11AM, 3PM, 7PM, 9PM, and 11PM PST.
If you're unable to complete the parade, click off your activity buff to get one (1)
Note. Don't forget to click it off if you plan on NOT finishing the activity that day. Failing to do so will bug you for the next day. You'll know if you forgot, because you'll get one (1)
Note right when you log in.
Here' s a comment from
FalRhiann you might find helpful:
For people experiencing the Music Parade glitch where she doesn't recognize you've completed, even after buffing yourself, try clicking on one of the NPC parade members. It seems that, for some reason, sometimes you need to do this and sometimes you don't. I just know that when the glitch happened to me I clicked on a parade NPC and the conditions were immediately fulfilled. Hope this helps.
Just to clarify, I did have the correct buff and had buffed myself, but the conditions did not fulfill until I clicked a parade member.
Adding to
FalRhiann's comment:
I've done this as well, but it has only worked for me after changing channels or logging out/in. This worked great for when I got a duplicate instrument which expired before I could get all the melodies.
Activity: Musical Horse Trial
Activity NPC: John Bach (Start),
Owen Brahms (Checkpoints),
Lia Luther (End)
Description: You may do this activity two (2) times a day, once as the leader and once as a member. Once the leader/members accept the activity, a fifteen (15) minute countdown will start. Each person has their own countdown timer, so try to accept the activity close to the same time. Mobs will spawn along the way to each checkpoint. When at least one mob has been killed, the leader and members will all receive the
Sign-Up Sheet. The leader and members must individually take their
Sign-Up Sheet to
Owen Brahms to check-in and he’ll tell you to proceed to the next checkpoint. Repeat this until you reach
Lia Luther. Leaders receive their reward by turning in the chest to
Lia Luther and members receive their reward by asking
Lia Luther for it.
Checkpoints:
1- Forsaken Abby (38.7, 68.3)
2- Maidge’s Farm (54.3, 58.4)
3- Dorian’s Farm (56.8, 47.1)
Turn-in:
- Bridge (54.7, 39.1)
Rewards:
As the Leader:
- 5 x
Musical Score
As a Member:
- 3 x
Musical Score
NOTE: Higher levels can do this activity as a leader solo, but you’ll obviously need to group with someone to be the leader for you to complete the member option.
Activity: Phantom of the Forsaken Abbey
Activity NPC: John Bach
Description: John Bach will give you three (3)
Mysterious Music Boxes to put the
Phantom into a
slumber. Proceed to Forsaken Abbey (downstairs before all the pews) and use one on the
Phantom.
Slumber only lasts for one (1) minute, so kill quickly if you want to complete this three times.
Three (3) waves of five (5)
Little Phantoms will appear, defeat each wave to spawn the
Angel of Music and five (5) chests.
Wave 1: Five (5) Level 15 Elite
Little Phantoms (~3khp)
Wave 2: Five (5) Level 20 Elite
Little Phantoms (~4.5khp)
Wave 3: Five (5) Level 25 Elite
Little Phantoms (~6.5khp)
Rewards: (Chance in each chest)
- 1 x
Musical Score
- 1 x
Note
- 1 x
Phirius Potion - Type
A,
B,
C,
D, or
E
- 1 x
Phirius Elixir - Type
A,
B,
C,
D, or
E
- 1 x
Phirius Special Water - Type
A,
B,
C,
D, or
E
NOTE: If you have the DPS, you’ll be able to do this three (3) times, so that is fifteen (15) chests! Also, even though the activity NPC’s information says you’ll need to kill the Phantom, you don’t. The
Phantom is a non-KoS, un-killable, level 50 crown boss mob, so for those lower level players running around Forsaken Abbey, watch your AoE attacks and spells. Nothing’s worse than getting Debt EXP from event mobs. (Well, there are worse things, but it really sucks.)
Activity: Music Scale Challenge
Activity NPC: Venus Garter
Description: Venus Garter will ask you to play her a tune. Pick either the Simple Melody or the Difficult Melody. The melody will be a random string of notes. The simple one allows you to see the notes as many times as you want, but the difficult version will only allow you see them two (2) times. The “keys” to your scale are the floating platforms around the plaza fountain. Click each one in the correct order, and then return to
Venus Garter for your rewards.
Rewards:
Simple Melody
- 1 x
Note
Difficult Melody
- 3 x
Note
NOTE: There isn’t a time limit, so don’t worry about rushing. Take a screenshot or write down the notes to make it easier on you. I’m not sure how random the notes are, but I’ve gotten the same melody more than once. You can do both the Simple and Difficult melody once per day.
Platforms going clockwise from
Noreve [Teleporter] (12 o’clock): FA LA TI MI DO RE SO
I've only gotten three (3) different scales per difficultly level, if someone happens to get a another one please let everyone know.

Activity: Cavy’s Riot
Information NPC: Venus Garter
Activity NPC: Hank Piero &
Tak Piero
Description: A magic circle will appear close to
Hank Piero (Blue) and
Tak Piero (Red) at 2PM, 5 pm, and 8PM PST. [Please read the note about the event times] Slaughter the Cavies until the boss Cavies spawn. Once the boss Cavies have been slain, the circle will close until the next event time.

NOTE: Keep in mind the events will happen one (1) hour earlier than the information given by this activity NPCs. Someday this will be corrected, but until then this activity will be at 1PM, 4PM, and 7PM PST.
Please don’t be That Guy. You know the one, he's that guy who sits in the middle of the circle and AoEs the Cavies before they even get a chance to move. Please be considerate to your fellow gamers, especially to the lower level players who are trying to enjoy themselves and advance in the game. For those on PvP servers: at least you can dispense justice as your community sees fit. PvE servers:
Egg of Bad Intentions works great and they are so properly named.
Activity: Lost Music Note
Activity NPC: Anja Lud
Description: Anja Lud would like you to replace the magic note lost in her score. The Little Note Faries living in the nearby tree can do this for you, but you’ll need to find a way to make them happy. Look at the Magic Score with A Missing Note and then go and talk to Gelia Green just inside the Dalanis gate, she’ll tell you how to make them happy.
Gelia Green says she’ll help you out, but you’ll first need to collect five (5) Rare Feathers from
Wild Gulo or
Milasso Gulo. You can find the
Wild Guloalong the path up to the Herbalist Camp and
Milasso Gulo can be found in the Milasso Forest.
Once you’ve gathered the Rare Feathers, head back to Gelia Green and get the item for the fairy you want to make happy to replace the note.
Small secrets with their corresponding favorite item:
"loves something which glows in the night" --> Pearl of the Night
"loves the melody of nature" --> Mysterious Conch
"loves candy with mint flavor" --> Cough Drops (eww?)
"loves pink flowers" --> Pink Carnation
"loves sweet and refreshing dew" --> Crystal Dew
Now comes the “fun” part! Head back to Anja Lud, where you'll find some platforms. Jump your way up to the correct fairy.
Here's a comment from
MODRUNE01 you might find helpful:
Additional tips on:
Activity: Lost Music Note
This seemed to help me get up the platforms:
- Change video settings to low.
- Take all speed buffs off!
- PORTS DON'T WORK! I wasted many transport markings before realizing it doesn't work...

- First platform -> Not too bad.
- Second platform -> Not too bad.
- Third platform -> Try to get on as it is crossing middle.
- Fourth platform -> Try to get on as it goes up.
- Fifth platform - Wait till fourth goes to the very top, then try to get to fifth via diagonal.
- Sixth platform - Wait till sixth comes to a stop and then try to jump on it via diagonal.
- Seventh platform (the one you need) - Almost there! Line yourself up but don't jump yet. Wait till it goes around and then jump.
Hope this helps.
P.S. I've been told some have just skipped this platform part and used the "Crazy Breakout" Potion given by the housemaids.
Once you’re gotten the correct note you’ll receive the Complete Magic Score. Take this back to Anja Lud for your reward.
Rewards:
