Music Block Trophies

I've just been going through the achievements list to see how I'm tracking, and I'm having trouble working out the music block trophies. My questions are:

1. Do I have to have all 5 of a particular sort actually in my possession (that is - carried on my person) to get the trophy? Or do I just need to have had them at some point?

2. If it's the latter - how do I check which ones I've had? I (maybe somewhat stupidly ) didn't keep a track of what Music Blocks I have found/won, and so I have no idea where I'm at... 

I know it's just for fun, but I'm a stats freak, and I wanna know where I'm at!!!

  • You have to carry all of them at the same time.

  • nah, I just got one and I wasn't carrying them all

  • I think it probably works when some are in your cabinet and some are in your normal inventory, but I have not tested that.

  • The gem trophy is based off of ever owned - its interesting that these work differently

  • Lady SnuggleWumps - Right on! That's what threw me... 

    I had a much of MBs, and then donated some for the 'First Emblem..' requirements for skills, and still hadn't achieved any trophies... 

    Now I got a stack of them in my inventory, hauling them around till i get a set! I'll have to go leave some at home... Hope my piggies don't plop on them :)

    Wasn't sure if it was a bug or I missed it... The encyclopedia does say "Collected all 5 [XX] musicblocks"; whereas the Emblems Trophy says "Held the Emblems of all 11 Giants in your inventory at once" - which I DIDN'T do, but still got the trophy! Weird?

  • IDK, Stoot--I never keep musicblocks in my cabinet or house, but rather donate or sell them almost immediately (except my favorite, which I always have), and yet I got the trophy tonight. I suppose it may have counted some that I had on auction? But even so, I know I didn't have all five of that group.

  • I got mine last night - I only had 1 musicbox in my inventory at the time.

  • @Stoot

    The musicblocks must be in your personal possession to receive the award. Having them in my cabinet did not work for me (mine are in a bigger bag labeled musicblocks in my cabinet) and I had to dig them out into my inventory to be counted. Perhaps it would work if they were not in a bag in my cabinet however, don't know for sure on that scenario.

  • For what it's worth, I received a trophy today and did not have all 5 blocks in my possession.  They were neither in my person, in my cabinet, or on auction at the time.  So I do believe the trophies are awarded for merely having received them at some point.

  • In my experience, it's not consistent.

    I have my musicblocks on the floor in my house.

    Today I completed three musicblocks collections, with differing results:

    DB: Had four on the floor, one came from the auctions by frog. As soon as I got the fifth one, I also got the trophy.

    DG: Had four on the floor, one came from the auctions by frog. Contrary to the DB ones, I didn't get the trophy.

    DR: Had three on the floor, two came from the auctions by frog. I didn't get the trophy.

    In the last two cases, I got the trophy as soon as I picked up the five musicblocks.

  • I got a music trophy today and 4 of the set were in my cabinet. They were not in a bag in my cabinet but instead were taking up 4 slots in the cabinet.

  • fwiw, The same thing happened to me with the DGs as what happened to Ximenez's DGs. *scratches head*  Oh well. I will just hang on to MBs until I get the other trophies.

  • I have a floor and cabinet full of them, just waiting for the elusive ones I have yet to find... We'll see... :)

  • I got my DG trophy when I only had one music block on me. I did not own a house at this point.

  • I've only ever had to have had them at some point - never needed them in my possession to get the trophy... though haven't collected enough since the reset to know how it's working now

  • I got a music trophy, and I know I didn't have all of them in my bags when I got it. I keep all my music blocks on the floor of my house. I was gardening and got another one and got the trophy.

    So I was at the same location as all of them, but 4 were on the ground and one was in my inventory.

  • I had to actually pick all of mine off the floor of my house to get the trophy. Got the last one when it arrived from auction and no trophy there, but once all of them were in my inventory, it worked. All this happened in my living room, so...*shrug*

    It WAS the DG set, so....looks like other people had the same thing happen. May just be that set? This was the first of the trophies that I got, so I'm not sure, but I haven't been keeping track on what music blocks have been going in and out of my possession before today.

  • I didn't get the trophy when I had the other four in my cupboard when I received t the final one. Had to take out the rest from the cupboard in order for them to be detected.

  • The same happened to me with XS today.  I had 1, 2, 3 and 5 on the floor of my house, I received 4 from my garden downstairs, but did not get the trophy until I went upstairs and picked up 5.  So I got the XS trophy when 1, 2, 3 were on the ground, and 4 and 5 were in my inventory.  So weird, and so inconsistent.

  • It could be that if you've had that/those certain music blocks and 'PLAYED' them at some point before getting rid of them that it registered as 'owning' them...

  • Does anyone know about BB-5? It's not in auction, and I haven't yet seen it in world.
    Posted 14 months ago by Quinton Falkner Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, it is weirdly inconsistent.  I had taken to storing my music blocks in a bag in my house cupboard.  When I went to take my bag out to store a new block I had just gotten, it gave me the achievement.

  • I thought there was a change to the way trophies are awarded, but there might actually be a bug.  Over the course of a couple hours of playing the other day, I got the Gem Collector trophy with only one gem in my inventory.  During the play session I had found all the other gem types and had donated them to shrines.  The moment I found the fifth type, I got the trophy.  I figured this was by design, but maybe not?  It definitely didn't used to work that way back in the Days of Yore (tm).

    I don't own a house and there weren't other gems on the ground.  I suspect all the above reports about whether or not things were on the ground or in cabinets are red herrings and that the behavior has something to do with whether you had the needed items in your inventory recently.

  • I had to take them from my cabinet to my inventory to get the trophies.. seems random !

    No sign of BB5 anywhere for me either.  Looks like we're all going to pounce on that one :)

  • I had a similar issue with spices (I got the Spice Examiner achievement therefore must have had all of them at some point but I didn't have the Spice Collector trophy) and raised it as a bug.

    I was told that the intention with trophies is that you should have them all in your possession at the same time, but some trophies don't currently work like that and are being tracked down & fixed.

    So if you find a trophy where simply having all the items pass through your possession at some time or other, might be worth helping out by flagging it as a bug.

  • @Stoot

    ...mine are in a bigger bag labeled musicblocks in my cabinet.... -  omg u can have bags inside cabinets as well?? Whoa that changes everything!

    To the point now: I got the giants emblem trophy and didnt had all the emblems at me, some where spent, only one got (the last received) and got the trophy...

  • Hiyas! I know there was some confusion about how the Musicblock Collections worked, so I just tested all of the Musicblock sets, and they all gave me the Collectors Trophy without having all five blocks in inventory at the same time. Namely, I chucked one of each set into the nearest Shrine, and as soon as I had discovered the fifth Musicblock, the Trophy was awarded.
