A sonic alteration is the customization of a bard's Sonic Shield, Sonic Weapon, Sonic Armor, or Singing Sword.

Monthly raffles are held for Premium subscribers to receive this service. The raffles are held in the different Bard Guilds throughout the lands, so characters must be at least level 15 to enter. It may also be distributed at festivals and pay events.

Guidelines

The customizations can have either a short description with a show (recommended), or a long description. Please refer to ALTER 2 and ALTER 3 in the game for further details on these terms.

For sonic shields, weapons, and armors, the base description must demonstrate that the item is created from a mass of air. Words such as 'sonic' or 'airy,' would be appropriate to describe the insubstantial nature of the items.

For Singing Swords, the base description must demonstrate that the item is moving independently of any physical influence. Words such as 'animated' or 'floating' would be appropriate to describe this behavior.

Because of the magical, bardic nature of the items, items can be glowing, be surrounded by floating musical notes, and have other aspects not allowed on solid items.

Please be prepared with:

  • The spell to be customized (Sonic Weapon Song)
  • The item base to be customized (a short sword)
  • The '15/15/15' description of the item (a wavering/grey sonic/gladius)
  • The 'long' or 'show' description desired, if any (a wavering silvery grey sonic gladius shrouded in mist)

Sonic alterations can be performed before a bard can sing any of the spellsongs.

To summon an altered sonic item, SING CUSTOM after preparing the appropriate spell.
