Trouble Playing Mandolin 08/12/2014 10:34 PM CDT
I've been away from DragonRealms for a few years, and I'm unsure if what I'm seeing is something buggy because my instrument is from my long-ago inventory or if non-bards can no longer play music...? The catalog in the bard shop says that the pick is the appropriate tool for the mandolin. What am I doing wrong?

You are holding a mandolin in your left hand and a carved pick in your right hand.
>play mandolin with my pick
You must free up your right hand to play the mandolin.
>play mandolin with my pick gentle
You must free up your right hand to play the mandolin.
>swap
You move a carved pick to your left hand.
You move a mandolin to your right hand.
>play mandolin with my pick

>play mandolin with my pick gentle
You must free up your left hand to play the mandolin.
>put pick in back
You put your pick in your silver backpack.
>play mandolin
You will need the proper tool in order to play your mandolin.

You have to WEAR the pick.

PLAY: Instrumental Performances
To stop playing a song, use STOP PLAY.

Syntax: () indicates a required field. {} indicates an optional field.

PLAY (song) {mood} {ON} {instrument}
PLAY (Song) {mood} {ON} {instrument} FOR (TARGET)
PLAY /PERFORM (message)
To use this option, you must be already successfully playing a song.
If you aren't skillful enough for that song, /perform will not work.

Available Song types (from easiest to hardest):
scales (ruff), arpeggios (rudiments), ditty, folk, ballad, waltz, lullaby, march, jig, lament, wedding, hymn, rumba, polka, battle, reel, elegy, serenade, minuet, psalm, dirge, gavotte, tango, tarantella, bolero, nocturne, requiem, fantasia, rondo, aria, sonata, and concerto.

Note: For percussions, ruff and rudiments replace scales and arpeggios. You may use either version -- it will default to the correct type for the instrument.

Available Styles/Moods:
off-key, halting, confident, masterful, slow, loud, quiet, quick, fierce, flashy, playful, solemn, mournful, wistful, excited, haunting, romantic, and cheerful.

Off-key and halting styles will make all songs easier to play. Confident and masterful styles will make all songs more difficult to play.

Please be aware that not all 'moods' are compatible with all song types, and some combinations may result in unexpected play styles. In addition, certain combinations can make a particular song easier or more difficult to play. Except as noted above, this varies from song to song.



You may also have to add 'with (tool)' i.e. play (song)(mood) ON (instrument) with (tool). idk.
