Walkthrough[edit]

The event occurs twice every night; once immediately after night begins, and a second time 20 minutes after nightfall. Before the event begins, kodan villagers spawn around the brazier where the Keeper of the Groove stands, and the named kodan dancer NPCs Loving Orchid, Dancing Bard, Sheltered Shoal, Steely Dawn, Trampling Herd and Surging Tide will walk to their places in a circle around the brazier.

Once active, the event will mark 6 circular areas in front of the named NPCs that players must stand in in order to gain the dance skills required to complete the event. 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 gain event progress. Periodically the Keeper of the Groove will change things up and deactivate some of the circles, causing players to possibly have to move to a different circle in order to continue gaining progress. He will first deactivate half of them, leaving 3 circles; then 2, and finally 1, before bringing all the circles back for the finale.

Note that the kodan perform a dance 16 times during the event, and you need 10 consecutive correct dances for the Savant of Dance achievement! Be sure to be at the event in time if you want the best chances of success.
