• Freesia will take the Lute from your inventory, and will give you The Flute of a Thousand Colors. Put the Flute in your charm slot, and “use” it. This will complete your quest, and will give you the First Magic Lyric. Examine this First Magic Lyric to receive the quest “The Flute of a Thousand Colors”.
Heroic Questline - Quest Two – The Flute of a Thousand Colors
On a quiet, lonely, windswept shore... Grows a plant for which nations would war... Silver spangled, majestic and fleet... Seek its reed for music so sweet... Though this plant may hide from the bare eye... Play a tune to draw it nigh.
Step One – Search for the Silver Threaded Plant with the mystic reed. It will be along a coast with other reeds.
• After searching all over Norrath’s coastlines, a plant fitting this description was found in the Tmorous Deep at 1727, 5.81, 647 (You are heading for the southern coast of the middle island in Timorous Deep. Head North-NorthEast from Faydedar Watch, through the Gorowyn Beach Outpost, across Gorowyn Beach, and continue North to Windhowl Coast on the next island. Once you’re on this island, the location should show on your map.)
• Play the flute to make the Windhowler Reed appear. Gather a Silver Threaded Windhowler Reed from the Windhowler Reed.
• Play the flute again to combine the reed with the flute. Play the flute one more time to receive the Second Magic Lyric and the next clue.
Among the Valley of Ancient dead... Dwells one whose voice inspires dread... His very bones hold the key to his song... Take from him a reed for which maestros long ...Hidden is he beneath the shale... But play a tune to hear him wail.
Step Two – Search Jarsaith Wastes for the individual who carries the bone reed.
• Play the flute in Jarsaith Wastes near -378, -58, -357 to spawn Zaz the Wailer. Zaz is a 80^^ heroic, kill him for a bone reed.

• Play the flute to place the bone reed into the flute. Play the flute one more time to receive the Third Magic Lyric and the next clue.
Like stars trapped in substance and blooming like flowers... The crystals of these caves have untold powers... They resonate with their own splendid song... Play a tune to draw up their throng.
Step Three – Find the crystal flute plating. Play the flute within a cave among creatures who might prize such an item, so the song may reveal resonating crystals.
• You’re looking for a crystal in the Jarsaith Wastes Drachnid caves. Play the flute at -2254, 237, 941 to spawn a resonating crystal.
• Gather the crystal to receive a crystal flute plate. Play the flute again to combine the plate with your flute, and then play again to receive the Fourth Magic Lyric and the next clue.
From only a race so savage and fierce... Could you find a metal that will so deeply pierce... The soul of any listener, stalwart or sweet... From an armsmaster of the drolvarg, seek a deklium plate... To turn one's tune to the tenor of slate.
Step Four – Find the Drolvarg Armsmaster and take the deklium plating from him.
• Your target is the Armsmaster or his placeholder, a drolvarg trainer, in Karnor's Castle. Kill him for the deklium plating. The Armsmaster is in the second courtyard. This is an uncommon auto update.

• Play the flute to attach the deklium plating to your flute. Play the flute again to get the next step of the quest, which is to speak to Freesia again in Kelethin.
Step Five – Speak with Smendrik the instrument aficionado.
• Freesia was not able to repair the lute, and instead has given the lute to Smendrik, a collector of instruments and musical artifacts. Freesia is certain that Smendrik can fix it… however, Smendrik has left for the city of Gorowyn in Kunark.
• Travel to Gorowyn, and talk to Smendrik. He can be found at loc 2,604, 86, 1296. Ask a guard for a waypoint if you are having trouble finding him.
• Smendrik needs a few items to finish restoring the lute. After speaking with him, you will be offered the quest “Sing a Song of Sorrow”.

Step Two – Return to speak with Smendrik in Gorowyn
• Give Smendrick the items you gathered, and give him a few moments to complete the repairs. Once finished, Smendrik will make you a deal you cannot refuse.
Step Three – Return to Ashe Boderra in the Enchanted Lands
• Ashe is happy to hear of the restored Lute, and perhaps a bit too excited when he learns of the sheet music you have. Another deal is made, one that you just can’t pass up…
Step Four – Bring the damaged saber to Smendrik in Gorowyn.
• Smendrick provides you with three clues as to how you might go about restoring the power to the Lamentation of the Intrepid.
• You need to perform a folly worthy of pleasing Bristlebane. Head to Rivervale, near loc -52, -23, 42. Your quest should update telling you to gather the pies off the table. Once you gather all ten, your quest should update again, instructing you to throw them at halflings in Rivervale.

• You now need to tell a tale so heartbreaking, that it makes individuals who you formerly made laugh break into hysterics. Find Liddy Bobick inside the Fools Gold at loc -75, -17, -14, and tell her a tragic story.
