SCROOMS Instruments: Compare Prices and Stats
THE EQUIPMENT BAG / CHOOSE YOUR NEXT NOTE
Choose a SCROOMS instrument for the stage that is limiting your catch. Tune Speed helps tuning. Frequency reach and catching control are separate checks. More Luck is not a replacement for finishing the capture.
SCROOMS Instrument Prices and Card Comparison

Your instrument comparison
Choose two cards above to compare them side by side.
Which SCROOMS Instrument Stats Matter?
Section titled “Which SCROOMS Instrument Stats Matter?”Look up the creature’s reported band in the Scroomdex and compare it with the current instrument card. Resonance is relevant to reach, but the Roman numeral alone is not a verified conversion to a fixed Hz range.
For an equipment purchase, check the live shop quote, your balance and the exact item. The source tables are a reference snapshot, not a real-time shop feed.
SCROOMS Instrument Progression: Starter Purchases and Quest Rewards
Section titled “SCROOMS Instrument Progression: Starter Purchases and Quest Rewards”The 100-Chime guitar is the reported opening purchase. Quest rewards such as Floral Flute follow a different acquisition route. Receiving or buying either one does not automatically establish that it is active: open Equipment Bag → Instruments, select the item and equip it.
Choose Your Next Instrument Upgrade
Section titled “Choose Your Next Instrument Upgrade”| Current stage | Next decision |
|---|---|
| No instrument yet | Finish Leo’s opening task for the Wooden Lute. |
| First purchase | The reported Tamer’s Guitar costs 100 Chimes; complete the buy and equip checks. |
| Considering another Grove purchase | Compare the 750-Chime tambourine and 4,500-Chime violin cards against the catch stage you find difficult. |
| Following Elanor’s quest | Floral Flute is a reported quest reward, not another price on this shop ladder. |
These are acquisition options, not a mandatory order to buy every instrument. The reviewed five-card collection does not establish a universal best endgame route. Use the SCROOMS Chimes guide to budget; follow the current shop and quest requirements before spending.
Instrument Luck and Unreported Stats: What the Cards Cannot Predict
Section titled “Instrument Luck and Unreported Stats: What the Cards Cannot Predict”Luck percentages are printed equipment values, not measured odds for a named rare species. An unreported Tune Speed field is shown as missing, not zero. Prices and attributes can change with updates.
This opening collection does not rank every later instrument. For the Sanctum task reward, follow The Magus’ Requiem; for a rare target, check Eversung preparation.
