Description

A music box made by an unknown person. Used to level up Traces moderately for Harmony characters.

Lore

It plays a hymn sung by a small band. It is impossible to find out to whom the lyric of the hymn sends its praise. "Penury, trial of the Great One! Wealth, grace of the Great One!"

Farm it smart

A Trace (skill tree) material. Harsh truth: traces devour materials late-game, especially levels 8–10. Do not level evenly — pour into Skill/Ultimate (your main damage) first, Basic ATK last.
