I've been wondering about that myself.....it sounds really neat on that website.


Any musicians out there know how to get this one?

If there is a new instrument available for Western, that's news to me. The devs have promised us new instruments eventually, but I've never heard them say anything about a new instrument in connection with this song. Of course, they don't tell me everything they're thinking, so who knows.

Well, from listening to the sound files, it seems a pretty important instrument (not to mention fun, God forbid we have any of that! )


I honestly hope it will be integrated soon. Oh please oh please.

Last time I heard it only had sound files for Western. Period. So I guess before they release the thing, IF they release the thing, we're going to have to have the skin, model, and the rest of the music for the other songs for it.


PS - Did anyone ever find music files for the other songs for the Xantha...?

no, the xantha only has sounds for western and no other songs as it stands right now, butthe fact that the xantha sounds are in the game files, and go with the western song when put together, it is very sound beliefe that it will be added 'eventually'. possibly after they get a musician or three to add the xantha into the original songs(its much easier to write music from scratch adding instruments as you go than it is to add a new instrument to an exsisting song and make it sound like it belongs there).


odds are that if they cant get the xantha to fit into the exsisting songs, it will be a dropped project...



here is a thought to stew on in the meantime


what do you think the quest to get it if/when they add it will be like and how many hundreds of thousands of music exp will we need to fork out after we complete the quest to play it?

I believe the devs said that a new instrument is justa rumor and they haven't heard anything on it yet, which is complete BS since there's already sound bite files for the Xantha in the game files


And since the sound files are there I don't understand what's taking them so long to push it out.

It's for Musicians, ergo it is nota priority. I wonder who was so bored that they actually spent time creating the sound files.

Or they will just make it sound like the Mandoviol for most songs...


Maybe they are saving it for the Hutt Casino that is on the cards after JtL, Combat Revamp, GCW revamp and so on...

I'm thinking that although the Xantha makes its 'debut' with the Western song, it is the Musician's equivalent of a Mandoviol.


So, in other words, if they do bring us the Xantha, ME's no longer need to feel like they get anything special for their profession. /sigh

Not trying to be negative, I just hope this isn't the case.

FWIW, since I heard the reports of the new dancer flourishes being on TC, I went on TC and blue-froggied master musician to see if there would be any appearance of a Xantha, and no such luck. So there go my hopes that, like the dancer flourishes, this would be the musician upgrade when JTL releases.

From the Western sound bite that I've heard, a Xantha sounds nothing like a Mandovial.


From the description it's supposed to be a woodwind and a string instrument, which would make quite a unique sound.
