#### XS-4 - how and where?

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I've been really excited to get all the musicbox cheevos by myself, even it's meant squeezing chickens to death. Up until recently I had been held back by green-4, blue-5, but through some magic mojo I got both drops in one day, both from actions I've performed fairly regularly.
I have one last musicbox trophy left, and it's the XS collection. My question is this: what actions cause an XS-4 drop??
Things I've done (i'm primarily a basic resource auctioneer so I've done some of these things hundreds if not thousands of times):
-petted, nibbled piggies
-squeezed chickens
-petted, watered, harvested all types of trees
-scraped barnacles
-harvested jellisac
-(edit) harvested peat
-watered, planted, harvested crop plots
-mining
-grinding
-smelting
-making ingots
-test tubing
-beaker-ing
-using test tube/beaker
Things I haven't done:
-everything related to herbs, potions, and tinctures
Any info/stats on other musicboxes for other interested parties also welcome! Personally, I get a bazillion XS-1 and XS-3 drops from trees.

- yes! I was just whining about this on Global the other day, during which someone said "hey, I just got one" by doing completely ordinary things I do every day - tending/watering/petting trees. Looking at your list - I pretty much do all those things too, plus all the potion/herb/tincturing stuff. Still no XS-4. Every other damn box, though.
  I wonder if we're each assigned some arbitrary cursed box that is just really hard to get. It doesn't seem uncommon, I know I could buy it on auction, but I really want to pry it out of the game with my own glitchy hands!

- I support the cursed box idea as well. I get a good amount of 1, 2, and 4s. It's the XS-5 I keep on missing as well.
  And I don't think a musicblock is given by a specific action. I think it's just given randomly out of doing any action. So if you want you can keep on petting bean trees over and over again till you get it.

- It's pretty random. I get multiple copies of musicblocks except the BB-5, of which I only ever got one.

- You might try something I tried today as an experiment - Munch some Rubeweed. You tend to get different blocks, because it marginally improves your luck. gl!

- I had a hard time getting this one too; I think I got it eventually from a barnacle.

- I believe I got mine digging in the peat bogs----something not on your list.

- I have bags full of extra music boxes, and many just piled on my floor if anyone is interested in a trade. I'm sure I have 2-3 extra of everyone. find me in the game and we can do a trade.

- @Poney - actually I forgot about that but I actually get a lot of peat too. ^^
  @Mal'akh - I had heard you can get the BB-5 from tending crops, but I remember getting at least my most recent one from a barnacle...
  @Choo - Do you want me to send you one sometime? But seriously, I get them ALL THE TIME.
  Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll keep trying :)

- @Mal'akh: I get mine from tending patches. I've gotten over 4 or 5 from tending a patch in my backyard.I think I got my XS-4 from the gamesehow wheel or something. Not entirely sure.

- I got my first XS-4 today while tending a patch I had just cleared of a miniscule wood tree.

- I just got an XS-4 from harvesting an Egg Plant.

- It's all pretty much just random, except that the lower grades are weighted to be more common, and the 5's are the most rare of course. If you haven't got a particular block yet it's just random unluckiness.

- I have noticed (for me at least) when I am in a particular area that I get particular blocks when perfoming common actions such as harvetsing watering, gardening etc. Eg when I am in groodle forrest and I harvest I get XS blocks, when I am in groodle medow I get BB blocks and so on.

- This is days late but I finally logged in and thanks for the people who sent me XS-4 - my collection is complete now but here's to hoping I will one day get it myself :)

- I wanted to update everyone on the XS-4 situation - I FINALLY got one! And I actually think I can tell people why. I recently finally caved and got light green thumb 3, and right after I started noticing I was getting way more awesome things from trees - the red block and white blocks, fertilidust all night long, etc etc. Lo and behold not shortly after I got an XS-4.
  So for everyone who's having trouble getting certain blocks - I think they are linked to your skills :)

- I have XS-4 almost each two days of tree petting )))

- Crayon, same! I forgot about this thread or would have posted earlier. I also finally caved and got light green thumb 3, and finally got my XS-4. Glad to see it worked for us both! Prior to that I had every other music block coming out of my ears - just not XS-4. But I finally got it a day after finishing LGT3, from an egg plant in Chakra Phool. I will never forget :)
  Then I did unlearn LGT3, got tired of all the SWF blocks and mild sauce, and I'm still getting lots of fertilidust via Gardening 5 or whatever started that.
