Previous period

00:00 UTC

When the event begins, kodan villagers will gather around the town square where the Keeper of the Groove stands, and the lead dancers will position themselves in a circle around the brazier at the center.

Six circular areas are marked in front of each lead dancer, where players must stand to receive the dance skills required to mimic their moves. Each kodan will perform one of the five dances, and players in the circle in front of them must use the corresponding skill in order to progress the event. As the event continues, the Keeper of the Groove will change the circle patterns, requiring players to move around the stage to continue dancing. He will first deactivate half of them, leaving three alternating circles; then one singular rotating circle, before bringing all the circles back for the finale.

Depending on amount of participating players and scaling, the event may be completed in as few as 13 moves. The Savant of Dance achievement requires you to perform 10 correct consecutive moves, so be sure to be at the event in time if you want the best chance of success.

Loving Orchard: Haha! A fine partner you'll make!

Loving Orchard: Watch my moves and follow suit.

Sheltered Shoal: Oh, a partner? Charmed, I am.

Steely Dawn: Watch my moves and follow suit.

Surging Tide: Brave to join us. Years before I worked up the nerve myself.

Surging Tide: Follow my steps, and you'll be set.

Event failure

Keeper of the Groove: Not all can be graced by the gift of rhythm, newcomer. Take it not to heart.

Notes

• Not performing the correct move in time will cause you to take damage equal to 10% of max health. This is inconsequential because you will heal up by the next one. Humorously, the combat log reads: "You hit yourself for X using Dancing."

Bug:

The stage will sometimes not transition back into 6 circles for the finale.
