Guys, this is seriously a good thing. This + Terpander is going to make brd a much more accessible job for the average person. If you've made a horn, you still have the best Instrument available + the option of having upgrades in the future, not to mention the accomplishment of having made a relic.
Still don't get why the poster is hiding, and not letting others on the server check to see it for themselves. This could still be a fixed picture, not impossible to fake these either
I'm more convinced this to be real now, but I still find it strange that nobody else posted a message like "Yes I obtained this with number X stones of type Z" or "here is a pic of mine" or "here is a pic of random guy called XXX I met on the server who has it". We keep on getting these pics without any message or explanation... it's not that I doubt this can't be possible, but it still, dunno, kinda feels unusual to me let's say.

Well, an additional option is obviously welcome, but I'm not sure how more "accessible" this will make BRD, judging by the amount of these harps around it might actually be faster/cheaper to just build a horn. That's of course if you meant the +4 total augment. If you were talking about the +3 total it's a different story and I agree with you. But either way, completely different league than Terpander in terms of "accessibility for new bards".
