Use of the second ability on the Midgard version of the Phoebus Harp Necklace is now restricted to Skalds. Due to the fact that many Midgard players included this artifact in their templates simply due to this ability, along with the length of time it existed in this state, a one-time trade-in has been added to allow the exchange of the Phoebus Harp Necklace for a token worth 10 platinum that can be sold to any merchant. This trade-in will also remove completion credit for the Phoebus Harp Necklace, allowing players to obtain the artifact again if they wish. If you would like to make this exchange, speak to Eldjenamr, located in the Hall of Heroes. Those who activate the Phoebus Harp Necklace after this patch will not be able to make this exchange.

Plays any of the songs, thought he animations appear the same(like when playing power song on a bard, it still brings it to your mouth like it would a flute)   Mar 3 2004

Phoebus Harp Necklace - The summoned harp had the spell haste bonus reduced by 3%. Matter, body and spirit resistance bonuses were added at a 2% value.

 The Phoebus Harp Necklace artifact will no longer summon a harp for Skalds, instead they will receive a new spell "Shrieking Displacement Aura". Additionally, for all realms the Stat Debuff bonus has been
replaced by a Casting Range bonus.    (from the hot fixes Nov 20)

Leveling the Artifact:

Read some stuff about Phoebus's Harp.. actually I've done it with just 7 ppz no sweat at all.  First of all, u just have to visit all 3 named ones and look closely for the one who is holding the harp.  If you want the necklace, chop her.  I got mine off of Hallea I believe.  Feb 19

The Phoebus Harp encounter no longer awards credit to just one player in the group or battlegroup.
(1.68 patch, Feb 19, 2004)

The three named mobs are: Zoea, Hallea, and Kamos. They're located around 30k, 7k in Meso.  Whichever one has the Harp will emit notes from them. (when you play a song, the notes that come out of you) Also during the fight it will specifically state that she plucks the harp, etc.
She's tough if you aren't prepared. Make sure to clear most, if not all the aggro around as it will baf when you attack her. Mobs will also spawn and come after you. A suggestion is to have casters outside the group picking off the aggro that pops.
Spawn aggro is grey - orange. She is purple. CASTERS KILL THE AGGRO. If they don't it just builds up, and eventually she has them all assist on one target... and that hurts.
Our group setup was 2 Minstrels (one was a bot, /stick attacking), 1 S/S Arms, 1 Rejuv Cleric, 1 Fire Wizard, 1 Mind Sorc, 1 Matter Cab, & 1 Reaver.   Nov 8

Did this with a buffed salamander and a cleric, I just cleared a little of the aggro around the mob, And then sent the salamander in, after a few seconds there were like 50blue barracudas on the pet.
But they didn’t do any noticeable damage to the salamander…  Mar 25 2004

Tips:

All the 3 are pretty easy, less than 1fg, did with 1 bombspec necro 1 minst 1 cleric, as for the adds, you need to clear em especially since the named mob manages them to assist on same target.
As for getting credit it s pretty bugged, i got credit by chance after a few days having harp+3 scrolls while killing one of the named who didn t have the harp with 1fg.  Jan 23

Pretty convinced that whether or not you get credit is totally random at this point. Went back yet again, again with myself, a hero, and me botting a druid for extra heals. This time killed Kosma (sp?) without harp, took forever, but pulled it off, and finally got credit. Did exactly the same group setup (me as leader) and no bg, as we did when killing Zoea without harp, so no idea why it worked this time!  Jan 19

Doing the encounter be careful each mob calls for help and summons the sea, bring plenty of ae to combat it.  May  17 2004
