Musician is a Cultural Life Skill. This profession allows the user to play music using the Qin, granting nearby allies stat boosts based on the chosen song. Although some songs are designed to apply debuffs to enemies, a bug prevents the debuff effects from working correctly.
To use the Life Skill, the player must have a Qin in their backpack.
Learning the Life Skill[]
Players can learn the Musician Life Skill by paying a small fee in 
Silver Coins to a Musician NPC, who can be found in the starting towns (Qiandeng Town, Yanyu Villa, Jiming Posthouse, Chengdu), major cities (Suzhou, Luoyang, Jinling, Yanjing), Evil Men's Valley, and the Great School of Scholars. However, players who have already mastered another cultural Life Skill must abandon it before they can learn the Musician.
Upon learning the Life Skill, the player will gain access to the Play Music skill and Musician identity titles. After claiming the first identity title from the identity menu (hotkey U), the player gains access to the Musician daily tasks.
Music[]
| The Minigame Interface |

When the player plays music, they enter a minigame and cannot engage in any other actions. There are two modes of music:
- Practice Mode: Activated by clicking the "Play Music" button next to a tune in the Life Skill interface. Successfully completing the score awards the player with Musician EXP and Ranking Points.
- Battle Mode: Activated by playing a tune from the skill shortcut bar. This mode provides buffs to nearby teammates, but does not grant any Musician EXP or Ranking Points. To add a song to the shortcut bar, simply drag the song icon from the music book into an empty slot.
The minigame is a timing challenge where players must press a button at the precise moment as visual cues slide across the screen. Despite featuring background music, the game does not synchronize the button presses with the musical rhythm.
Musician Scores[]
To unlock a song, the player must study a Musician Score. There are multiple ways to acquire these items:
- The Musician NPCs in various scenes sell several Musician Scores.
- The Musician NPC at the Great School of Scholars sells a unique selection of Musician Scores.
- Stack of Books can be looted for some Musician Scores.
- Chests in Forbidden Instances and Influence Challenges can be looted for some Musician Scores.
- Random Encounters may reward the player with Musician Scores.
For a list of all Musician Scores, how to obtain them, and the effects of the songs, see: List of Musician Scores.
Auto-Playing[]
Musician can auto-play music if they meet two conditions:
- Must have VIP Subscription.
- Must reach the required Musician Rank, which varies by song.
Once the required conditions are met, auto-play begins after the player manually completes one-third of the song. In auto-play mode, the minigame is skipped and the player gains access to four single-target combat skills that heal nearby allies and knock back enemies. However, the player remains stationary and cannot use regular Martial Arts Skills until the song ends.
Endless Practice Mode[]
Players who have purchased the Young Hero Master subscription can enable the endless practice mode by toggling on the "Refine" option in the Life Skill interface. This feature lets the player leave their character unattended for extended periods while continuously earning Life Skill EXP and Chi.
Experience Points[]
Musicians earn experience points by playing in Practice Mode and completing the daily tasks. When a Ruyi Pill is active, all experience gains are multiplied. The Life Skill can be leveled up to Rank 10, and leveling up the skill will improve the stat boosts of songs.
Daily Task[]
The Musician daily task can be started by talking to the Apprentice NPC standing next to Musician NPC. The task can be done once per day, with each task requiring the player to play a song in Practice Mode. Reaching a new Life Skill Rank will reset the daily quest cycle, allowing the player to complete an additional daily task.
The task reward is a bound scroll that grants Musician EXP when read.
