Store Item: Mystery Music Box

Please note that it is intended that this will be one of our most expensive store items. The primary reason for this is we do not wish for players to turn the ENTIRE world into one big melting pot of biomes. It is our hope that by making these instruments semi-exclusive and rare that players will value them and who they loan them to more heavily.

Also please keep in mind that we intend to add a 'skill' that is required to do the biome shifting. For now biome shifting occurs without the skill, and anybody can play the instrument provided they simply have the musician skill.

Each instrument changes to a different biome.

Play the instrument (not spamming the same button for greatest effectiveness) and if mother nature likes your music she will slowly transition herself around you to the biome that is tied to your instrument.

I like the idea of that but as dallane would most likely say, couldn't this just be used as a crutch for poor base planning?
I think I have a hat problem.

You think $50 is a crutch? Not to mention all the insp that is needed to get a good spread and/or digging up areas to reduce the amount needed to play.
Do not argue with idiots, for they will pull you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I presume he means, pick a spot with no useful biomes, repent horribly later on then just buy a handful of instruments with your paycheck and proceed to terraform this alien world into one with an atmosphere and plant life you can assimilate! Odd choice of person to put words in the mouth of though xD

The hole panning in providence and using the well is a crutch for bad base planning thread you made.
