Kyrian Bell - Tooltip

Benevolent Gong -
Pretty music!
Speed!
Damage!

Lasts 15 minutes

Speed and Damage increase. The speed is great. The damage aspect seems to "damage" friendly mobs. You can click the buff off if you choose. I unfortunately did not pay attention to what it dropped from .

EDIT: The item has been hotfixed, as expected, and now heals you periodically and has a 15 cooldown. All other benefits are gone.

======
This drops off of a treasure chest in the Temple of Purity in Bastion. The item sits in your bags, is instant cast, and currently has no cooldown. It provides a buff that silences you, grants the same speed as a ground mount, works indoors, works in every zone I've tested, and works in instances. I even tested this in a Freehold m0, and the buff remains active. It stacks with +speed gear. The buff lasts 15 minutes, but can be refreshed at any time. In order to cast spells, you will need to click off the buff.

The buff also both heals and damages you and friendly players/NPCs around you for a small amount. You can interact with objects while the buff is active, but the damage tick occasionally interrupts interaction casts (such as on a quest item or herb). It also sometimes interrupts quest item interaction casts of other players around you, which seems broken and I assume will be changed before SL goes live.

Honestly, it's so OP, I expect it to be nerfed very quickly. This is essentially an insta-cast ground mount with the added benefit of being able to attack mobs while moving quickly, so long as your attacks aren't spells.

As of today, I am not showing any tooltip info for this item other than soulbound.

As the others have mentioned, it does provide a great speed buff!

WHILE ACTIVE, YOU WILL BE SILENCED!

As a melee character who can still be productive while silenced, this little buff feels great.

Edit: While entering a town, this buff ticked on someone nearby putting me into war mode.

Comment by Strokelock

As a BM Hunter, the Silence affects Kill Command, Intimidation, Bloodshed. Those are only the ones I noticed. I did Not know why I was silenced so, if you get a Kyrian Bell and click it, well, that's why the above spells quit on ya.
You can click off the spell, but not knowing that's where I got the "buff", I didn't look at my Buff Bars ><
Not sure this item will stay in a Hunter's bags for long ;)

On today live hotfix, this item is not giving extra speed anymore.
With all the trouble he was creating, it's not so bad.

Its new tooltip says :

Use : Play this instrument of Bastion, improving the performance and morale of nearby friendly players while outdoors in the Shadowlands. (15min CD).

Now this item is no longer gives speed and silence anymore.
It will give you a 15min buff Music of Bastion that heals you periodically (approx. once every 5s by around 700hp) and "improving your mood", at least that's what the tooltip says.
It will also buff nearby friendly players (no need to be in group) with Music of Bastion :

increasing their armor ;
healing them periodically (maybe same amount as our self buff) ;
increasing their mount and ground speed (no numbers yet) ;
increasing their intellect (no numbers yet) ;
and also "improving their mood" ;

The buff applied on allies lasts as long as you're close to them with your bell active (15~20yards range).
Since the buff has same duration as item CD, you can have this buff permanently, with no bad side.

I dont think it's stackable with other players' bell, but i haven't tested yet.

Comment by Haldhur

Right now this item heals you every 15 seconds, the amount varies and seems to decrease as you stamina increase.

Comment by JasperKazai

In case you see this map icon (on an addon) and wonder why you can't get it - you only see it once you are in the phase where the Temple of Purity is under attack. There was nothing present to loot when I first entered the area, but once I did quests and progressed to the next phase, it appeared.

Comment by ady292

6% mount increase speed, from 209% to 215%. Found out using a speed macro:

/script x=GetUnitSpeed("player") DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format("Speed: %d yds/sec, %.1f kph, %.1f mph, %d%% normal run speed",x,x*3600/1093.6133,x*45/22,x/7*100))

Comment by Khazi

So I had this on my bank, together with the Drums and in my inventory I had the Ascended Flute. I tried to pull this Bell here ouf of the bank, and poof, Drums and Bell both are gone, vanished into thin air. Now I just have the Flute left.

Comment by Lolumbine

I have the bell and the drums and the effects stack. It even updates the tooltip and tells you “increases mount speed and heals your periodically”.

Comment by Khazi

If you ever unlocked one of these instruments and lost it somehow, there's a steward namend "Pico" who gives them back to you at /way 55.7 27.9

Comment by EXPERIMENTONGOD

The "You may only hold one Instrument of Bastion at a time." (Music of Bastion) part of the tooltip is bugged for these instruments.

I got the Bell, then the Gong and after that the Flute and I had no problems using all three even at the same time (the buffs stack). But a few days later I looted the Drums and they replaced my Flute and when I looted the Chime it replaced the Drums.

On a second character, I looted the Bell and the Drums. But a few days later I looted the Chime and it replaced the Drums, then looted the Flute and it replaced the Chime.

If you go to Pico (/way 55.7 27.9) he will actually let you get any ONE of the five instruments BUT IT WILL REPLACE THE LAST ONE YOU OBTAINED.

TL;DR If you already had all the instruments in your bags DON'T DESTROY ANY OF THEM or move them to/from your bank and you will be able to potentially hold all the 5 instruments/buffs.

EDIT 08/12/20: It's still bugged, today I checked my mail and I had 3 "lost instruments" there. I had Bell and Drums in my bags. I looted the Chime from the mail and it replaced the Drums, so I now had Bell and Chime. Then I tried to loot the Drums from the mail and it didn't work (Drums stayed in the mail), but suddenly I had Drums and Chime in my bags (for me those 2 buffs are the best by far). I will NOT bother touching any more instruments as long as I can have Chime and Drums (both the movement AND mount speed buffs).

Also weird thing is the game doesn't let me delete the mails with the instruments.

Comment by Djuntas

I like to think the ascended flute is the best one between kyrian bell and heavenly drum. Think flute gave me like 85 AGI. Kyrian bell is what 700 hp heal every 5 sec? And drum is like 10...20?% mount speed.

I macro the item when I mount up, below my mount macro:

#showtooltip Swift Zulian Panther
/cast Mighty Caravan Brutosaur
/cast Grand Expedition Yak
/castrandom Invincible
/cast
/cast Swift Zulian Panther
/dismount
/use Kyrian Bell <----

Comment by Regent2203

Wanna change this Instrument of Bastion to another one, previously learnt? Visit Pico.

Comment by JayDAxis

I don't know if it was just missed up but I had all 5 instruments in my bags at the same time and all worked. If anyone like me had/has all of the instruments do not, I repeat DO NOT pick up a second copy of any of them. When I did it removed the Kyrian Bell from my bag and Blizzards answer to me was "it has been removed it's because you may only hold one Instrument of Bastion at a time."

Comment by JasperKazai

9.0.5 seems to have limited how the instruments can be used. Before, you could use multiple, and get all of the buffs active upon you at once. Now, in 9.0.5, using just one instrument puts all of them on the 15 min CD.

But, they now work in Oribos and the Maw, which they previously did not, so that's nice.

Comment by torul72

this is stupid. i understand for the shared cd between them but they could atleast let us have them all in our bags

Comment by Spilledstars

Well I finally was in such a pinch (as a clothy in Revendreth) that I figured what the heck, even vague buffs might help. Healing per second? oooh and yay and I didn't die nearly so much. I might even succeed at completing this anima-forsaken quest chain.

Comment by F0rsak3n

Beware, if you attempt to change instruments using Pico and you're below max level, he will give you a version that requires level 60 and effectively cancel them all out. Just found that out the hard way. -,-

Comment by DCPrimus

Alright, so here is the list of what the buffs actually are:

Ascended Flute: +80 to Primary Stat
Benevolent Gong: +100 to Armor
Kyrian Bell: 2% Healing every 15 seconds
Heavenly Drum: +10% to mount speed but capped at 220% on ground and 420% when flying
Unearthly Chime: Stealth buff of +100 Speed. Doesn't show on Character tab, stacks with Speed, doesn't affect mounted speed.

Take your pick on usefulness. Many use potions, enchantments, and food buffs so +80 on Primary stat has an effect, but say you have 1730 Intellect and 355 Armor.
Do you want an 80 point Intellect buff, ~= 4.62%, or a 100 point Armor buff, ~= 28.17%.

YMMV

Comment by weltallica

I had the bell in my bank, and the flute in my bags.

I wanted to swap them around, so I dragged the bell onto the flute... and the bell overwrote the flute!

So now the fluet is just... gone?

Comment by cordell9

Ok for those of you confused where your items went, if you loot one of the other items your original one disappears from your bags
you can only have ONE instrument in your bags.
However, you can swap between them, go to NPC Pico at 55 27 just northwest of the spires of ascension raid on the map
once you talk to Pico they give you an option to swap between any instrument you have previously looted
