Instuments have several different issues around them.

1) They don't wear out.
2) Experimenting on them is pointless.
3) Making them gives music EXP but UXP drops into general crafting.
4) Too many sound exactly the same.
5) Only one string instrument.
6) The nala gives Great EXP. Thing is your master to use it, whats the point?



Things I would like to see:

1) Instuments get worn out eventually, makes a market for selling them.
2) Experimentations can increase the durability, slightly alter shape, sounds or color of an instrument.
3) More sounds, more songs. I would love to see quests to learn other songs or gain instument scematics.


Just a few things. 8)

I'll say I agree with you completely and stop there.

I have to agree with you. I find it very odd that instruments don't decay over time, seems to me there could be a very good market for their creation. Unfortunatley right now there isn't much of a benefit to being able to craft your own instruments. Why waste skill points when they can be bought so cheap for a one time price?

Agree on pretty much all points. My pet peeve is that the horns all sound alike. We get the Slitherhorn and a couple of instruments that sound pretty much identical to it, and the Fizzz and its knockoffs. We don't get a new sound until the bandfill (which rocks). I've heard that the devs did intend to patch in more sounds to the lower-level horns, so that a Fanfar, Kloo or Traz are different from the old Slither and Fizz.

I'd also like more songs. How about epic quests for songs?

First priority is new inst. sounds for me. then maybe decay.

My trumpet doesn't decay very fast at all in real life and that's cause one of the first things I learned was how to take care of it. That being said, (slow) instrument decay would introduce a new profession: instrument repair. Very niche market but necesary nonetheless.
