Ok. I killed him and got the horn. I sold it to a vendor for 14 plat and when I went to see what he was selling it for... He was selling for 419 pp. Why do they do that? Also I think this is a rare item because i killed him about 7 times after I got that and he didn't drop it again. I'm still trying to get it.
I just spent a coupla hours in the EC tunnel skilling up my brass with this horn. It was bugged for a long while, but I guess someone finally fixed it.

This horn is equippable, BUT your instrument skill does not go up when using it. I had my bard in PoK for hours playing a song and not one skill up resulted. Then I used all my other horns and the skill did go up. I have done this with bards on two servers now, so I don't just think that my bard was bugged.
I was just running around aimlessly through Echo Caverns today and saw this bard with a horn standing there, was green to me at lvl 43 and I saw him holding a horn. Thought I'd kill him since he was glaring at me anyways. Got this horn, haven't tested out on my bard yet as he is only lvl 15 and to my knowledge you have the skill of brass but I don't think there are any brass songs before lvl 15. I'll post more when I try it out.
Reeds spreadsheet v1.9 states the horn has a whopping 2.2 modifier, though I still beleive that while equipable, it is still not working. FYI, when I use the horn to play DDD, it doesnt work AT ALL. Mob gets the glow effect, song greys out, but no damage.. Hmmm, not even normal singing damage.
Where did the 0.0 to bardsong come from? Has this been confirmed? I ask because I'm seeing fear land much more often when equiped. Anyone else tested this yet?
I have seen and killed [was green to my lvl 37 SK] Torin spawn in the mutant area of Echo Caverns. Go through the secret door in the empty room near the soulbinder in Shadow Haven. Whjen you zone into the Caverns make a left and then a right. On your left you will see a Defender and a tattered curtain. This is the mutant area and Torin can spawn in the samll area to the left when you pass beneath the curtain or in the larger area if you follow the passage. You can see if he is holding the hiorn, otherwise he drops his necklace.
The blank effect pegs this as a quest item. grimy lance and a few other things also drop with a blank effect and only get an effect after you finish the quest so...

Uhm, why is it stupid? Dex helps avoid missed notes when playing songs, much like high int/wis helps agains fizzled spells... The odd thing is that it isn't equippable :-)
No, your skill level in that base will affect your fizzles.... Go on and give your caster 250 int, and try casting a spell your pitfully low in... then take it ALL off, you won't ntice anything :)
Well, I found this item. I'm a ranger, so I couldn't even test if I could equip it. I have no idea why it has a blank effect unless Verant decided only Bards could see the effect, which is highly unlikly.
