Evidence and scope
This is an editorial ranking from the October 12, 2026 All Things How comparison, checked against accessible community records. It is not official, a hands-on benchmark, or a complete ranking of quest instruments.
Conditional starter ranking
S: Violin of Pilgrimage for a Luck-focused hunt. The reported card lists 40% Luck, 10 Harmony, and a 4,500-Chime price.
A: Adventurer's Tambourine for a lower-cost instrument with faster tuning. The reported card lists 750 Chimes, 15% Tune Speed, and 8% Luck.
B: Tamer's Guitar for the 100-Chime entry purchase. The reported card lists 6% Precision, 5 Harmony, and 5% Luck.
C: Wooden Lute for a free starting option. Its reported card lists zero Luck and zero Harmony, so it is a baseline rather than a long-term recommendation.
- Choose Violin when rare-attraction Luck is the priority and 4,500 Chimes is acceptable.
- Choose Tambourine when 750 Chimes and faster tuning matter more than maximum reported Luck.
- Choose Guitar for the cheapest paid step; keep the Lute when spending is not yet justified.
