Elin – How to Farm Money Using Music

How to Earn Lots of Money

By Nyagger.

Music Level Requirements

• You need Music Level 40.
• At Level 40, no NPCs will throw stones at you during performances.

How to Level Up Music:

• You must perform for NPCs (playing alone won’t work).
• You get experience when:
  • NPCs give you money.
  • NPCs throw stones.
  • NPCs comment on your music.

Performance Icons:

• Green music note = NPC likes your music

• >< symbol = NPC dislikes your music

• Vein symbol = NPC is bored and stopped listening

Tips:

• When NPCs get bored, find new listeners or go to another town
• You can use any instrument, including the basic starter lute

What Actually Makes Money

• Take performance quests from the quest board.
• These can be found in two towns:
  • Palmia (Northeast from your starting point in Meadow, near the snow).
  • Lumiest (inside a volcano, Southeast of Palmia).

How to Start:

• Begin with simple quests.
• Look for ones that need 150-200 points.
• As you get better, take on harder quests with higher point requirements.

That’s the basic process for earning money in the game. It’s a good system to follow as you progress.

Getting Points:

• Your score depends on two things: audience size and how well you play.
• When you start, quickly find a big crowd.
• You have about 10 turns to perform before time runs out.
• Use the instrument in the middle of the area (usually harp or harpsichord).

Point System:

• No reaction = less than 50 points.
• Some applause = 50-100 points.
• Regular applause = 100-150 points.
• Applause with cheering = more than 150 points.

Getting Money:

• Taking performance requests pays better than playing on the street.
• Different types of people give different amounts:
  • Shop owners give average money.
  • Higher level characters and special named characters give more.

Tips:

• Don’t worry about failing the quest – you only lose some fame and karma points.
• You keep all money you earn even if you fail.
• Practice playing each instrument’s songs, especially harp and harpsichord.
• Playing a full song gives more points than stopping halfway.
• Bring your own instrument in case you can’t find a crowd quickly.
