Step 1. Take the quest from Raien

Teleport to the Town of Aden and enter the Warrior Guild on the east side of town. Master Raien gives the quest only to a level 76 Swordsinger — a subclass works too. She hands you the book Criticism of Biel's Song and sends you to Blacksmith Feynn in Goddard.

Step 2. Feynn in the Goddard smithy

Teleport to the Town of Goddard and find Blacksmith Feynn in the smithy in the north of town. Press "How about a song?": the dwarf agrees to listen only over a Bitter Cold Beer, and only Chef Donath in the Hot Springs can brew one.

Step 3. Beer from Donath

Teleport from Goddard to the Hot Springs: Master Chef Donath stands at the camp next to the teleport. The beer needs an Ice Crystal — it comes from The Finest Ingredients — Part 1 by Chef Jeremy in the same area at level 73+ — and a Big White Fat Fish. The fish is caught with a rod at Fishing skill level 23–25, best on a purple lure, or bought from players. Give both to Donath, take the Bitter Cold Beer to Feynn and press "OK, here goes...!" — you get Resonance Amulet - 1.

Step 4. The first tablet near the Tower of Insolence

From Hunters Village teleport to the Northern Pathway of the Enchanted Valley and run east along the road to Aden. The Tablet of Vision stands south of the Tower of Insolence. Talk to it and touch it with the amulet — the next tablet is in the Valley of Saints.

Step 5. 10 guardians in the Valley of Saints

From Rune teleport to the Valley of Saints and run north, bearing slightly east, to the Tablet of Vision. Guardian of Forbidden Knowledge lv. 76 (level 76) fly around it: you need exactly 10 kills, only your own kills count, and the amulet comes with a 100% chance after the tenth. With Resonance Amulet - 2 talk to the tablet again — it sends you to Ketra.

Step 6. Biel northeast of Ketra

From Goddard teleport to the Ketra Orc Outpost and run northeast, towards the Hot Springs, to the Tablet of Vision. After you talk to it, Sword Player Biel lv. 76 (level 76) appears — kill him yourself and out of a party: if anyone else hits him, he vanishes with no reward. With Resonance Amulet - 3 talk to the tablet again — the vision shows Tunatun north of Rune.

Step 7. A Divine Stone of Wisdom for Tunatun

From Rune teleport to the Beast Farm and find Beast Herder Tunatun east of the teleport. He gives the next amulet only for a Divine Stone of Wisdom, which comes from Magical Power of Water — Part 1 by Wahkan in Ketra or Magical Power of Fire — Part 1 by Naran Ashanuk in Varka — both need level 74 and an alliance of level 2 with that side (Ketra and Varka alliance). The side you name to Tunatun changes nothing — he accepts a stone from either. For the stone press "Yes, please." and get Resonance Amulet - 4.

Step 8. The tablet near the Monastery of Silence

The Tablet of Vision stands north of the Varka camp, next to the Monastery of Silence. The fastest way is the Rune teleport to the Monastery of Silence and a short run south; from Ketra it is a long run west. Touch the tablet with the amulet — the vision shows Priest Cerenas from Goddard.

Step 9. Cerenas in the Goddard church

Teleport to Goddard and find Priest Cerenas in the church in the south of town. Press "Why not?" — he won't give you his stone, but tells you the next amulet is held by the Archon of Halisha.

Step 10. 700 Halisha's Marks at the Shrine of Loyalty

From Goddard teleport to the Wall of Argos and run east to the Shrine of Loyalty. Kill Grave Scarab lv. 73, Scavenger Scarab lv. 73, Grave Ant lv. 74, Scavenger Ant lv. 74, Shrine Knight lv. 75 and Shrine Guard lv. 75 (levels 73–75) — each drops a Halisha's Mark and you need 700 (see the table below for your rate). Once you have 700, the next mob you kill summons the Archon of Halisha lv. 76 and takes 20 marks. Kill the Archon yourself and out of a party within 10 minutes to get Resonance Amulet - 5; the marks disappear.

Instead of step 10: the Archon in the Four Sepulchers

1. Gather a party for the Four Sepulchers: every member needs the Four Goblets quest and an Entrance Pass to the Sepulcher.

2. Kill the Archon of Halisha lv. 81 inside the sepulchers — he gives Resonance Amulet - 5 right away, no 700 marks needed. On some servers every Swordsinger of the party on this step gets the amulet, on others only the one who lands the killing blow.

Step 11. The tablet on the way to Goddard

The Tablet of Vision stands between the Shrine of Loyalty and Goddard, on your way back from the shrine. Touch it with the amulet: the vision shows a demon at the sixth tablet southeast of Hunters Village.

Step 12. Fallen Angel Narcissus near Hunters Village

Teleport to Hunters Village and run southeast towards the Catacomb of the Witch, where the Tablet of Vision stands. After you talk to it, Fallen Angel Narcissus lv. 81 (level 81) and Moon Voice Irene appear: you don't need to kill Narcissus — land 16 hits on him in under a minute and he flees. Talk to Irene right away, press "I agree.", take Resonance Amulet - 6 and touch the tablet again.

Step 13. Sword Muse from Raien

Go back to Raien in Aden and press "What should I do now?" — your class changes to Sword Muse. The reward is 2,299,404 XP, 5,000,000 adena (multiplied by the quest reward rate on some servers) and the Secret Book of Giants. If your level dropped below 76, Raien asks you to come back once you are 76 again.

Next up is the subclass quest, if you haven't done it yet.

How many mobs to kill on your rate

Halisha's Marks drop with a 100% chance, and the quest drop rate multiplies the amount per kill. On some servers marks come one at a time on any rate — then you need 700 kills. The Valley of Saints always takes 10 guardians: it is a kill counter, the rate does not affect it.

Add one more mob to this number — it summons the Archon.
