Where the heck is the lute?

[Aisynia]

I looked everywhere, so I looked online. Everyone says it is in a locked chest in cursed village of Lethyre in Ludern. I cleared the whole place, no lute. Opened every chest, interacted with every object, even resorted to clicking around the map randomly, nothing.

EDIT: So where do I learn new songs?

such an odd decision to add an unnecessary profession that is unlocked from the start but you cannot progress in it until halfway through the game

The recipe is sold at the circus camp in vertruse

Was that changed in the patch? Cause OP is right, the internet says it was at that location but I just got there today and found nothing.

Yes, this is a change since the last patch. I bought the recipe there after the patch.

Same. I was halfway through clearing ludern, patch hit, that same day I went to the village and it wasn't there. Yesterday on my way to grinmeer passed by the circus and indeed the guy on the left had its recipe up for sale.

Edit: Some people seem to have mentioned that if you've gone to grinmeer already, where they relocate to eventually, that then it becomes bugged out and you are no longer able to acquire it at all.

It looks like you need to do certain things to unlock them. Check the lute in the camp for details.

They all seem quite annoying to get though, for example, one involves naming a boar 'hammy' and using it to kill 5 enemies in 1 mission. Easy enough in a rats nest but I really can't be bothered to get it.

Nope, been to the camp, empty of NPCs! Cleared both cursed villages and opened all chest and inspected all--no lute! Went to the circus performance with Buddy in Grinmeer--no lute!!! So I guess I am one of those that can't get it. Time for the devs to add a way getting it from vendor like the tavern.

Yap. I think it was the Inn Keeper from Vertruse.

I wrote a guide on blueprint and recipe locations:

The Lute used to be found in the Cursed Village of Lethrye in Ludern but then they changed/patched it so that it was instead found at the Jugglers' Camp in Vertruse. But apparently it was still buggy so they changed it again, and now it is found at various inns in Vertruse, Arthes, Grinmeer, and Ormance. More specifically:

Vertruse: Marheim - Mother Bear Tavern
Arthes: Cortia - Ploughshare Inn
Grinmeer: Gosenberg City - Tavern of Fortunes Made
Ormance: Town of Two-Shores - Last Stop Tavern
