How can one Musicblock be so elusive?
For a good, oh I dunno, 8 or 9 months, the 1 musicblock I need, to get all the music trophy's, has eluded me.
I speak of Musicblock BB-5.
I have had every other one, many, many times over. Before musicblocks stacked, and during the chicken squeezing rampage I went on last Easter, I had the floor of my house littered with a multitude of musicblocks, plucked from the feathers of chickens (and from the shells of the Egg Plants).
But in all those numbers, I still never came across a BB-5.
I know I could buy one from auction, but at this point that seems like a defeatist route to travel.
I know there isn't an answer for me out there, and really I don't have a legitimate question... It just kind of tweaks my brain that the Glitch Gods won't see fit to let me find this one, silly, elusive musicblock, whose sweet song, I have yet to hear.

- Do you scrape a lot of barnacles? There are some uncommon activities that award BB-5 more frequently.
-
Truth be told, I have not scraped many barnacles.
A few for sure, but not many.
I shall, from now on, be a bit more scrapey! -
It is pretty hard to find - it's the one that took me by far the longest to get too. You'll get there in the end though - I've got about four now.
Jellisacs. I'm sure it came from jellisacs. - I have picked up a few BB5s recently, all I think from either barnacle scraping or harvesting jellisacs. The block I haven't picked up in months is the DR3 for some reason.
- try smelting 1200 metal rocks at once
- In my experience, the easiest way to get BB-5s (I have 19) is to tend tree patches.
- Ah yes tending tree patches during the tree chopping badges netted a ton of BB-5's. If all these relatively uncommon actions were more common, BB-5's would probably be common too.

"The block I haven't picked up in months is the DR3 for some reason."
The DR-3 was my second-hardest to get. Herb gardens, I think. - i had more problems with DB-2 than ANYTHING. i would have 10 of each other, and i still never came across it. someone finally just gave me one (kind glitches, we have.) since then...ive gotten ONE more. ugh!
- Tree patch tending! Or, you could just buy one in my tower. Up to you ! :D
- There is a route just for tending tree patches that I did to get my last tending badge. I can just remember that Rnixon the Crook is on it (thanks btw if you're reading this).
- It took me forever to get BB-5. Now I've gotten tons, but I think it must be the jellisac scooping I've been doing for fuel cells lately. Or the peat boggery. Or something.. In the past I didn't do a lot of that stuff.

Misers.
I just left the cube with Sporks' butler.
Now, I really wish I had a GNG block... ;) - I JUST got a BB-5 from harvesting Jellisacs. It's confirmed.
- Further confirming others' experiences, I've gotten 2 or 3 BB-5s over the past month or so from scooping Jellisacs....Get thee to Fjarke!

Anyone know which activities would yield a
DG-1
and
XS-4
Thank you! - I got 2 BB5s from tending patches yesterday.
-
Update:
After interacting (harvest, pet, water) with Bean Trees I received the DG-1
2nd Update:
Finally got that XS-4 while interacting with Bean Trees!
I had had my entire music block collection before, sold it off ~ and now my music block collection is once again complete. YAY! - I try to carry a steady stock of all MBs in my tower, fourth floor.
-
Its funny, most of the elusive blocks everyone have mentioned are the ones i have in multitudes. To be fair though, i have scooped an inordinate amount of jellisacs, peat bogs, barnacles and herb gardens.
The three that have been most elusive for me are DG-1, BB-2, and XS-4. Anyone know what actions give you those? - 2nd Floor = Mystbecky's Music Shop. Come on over. I try to keep a full stock as well. Hopefully we can have musical instruments one day 'soon'
- @ Coconut I just regot that XS-4 by interacting with a Bean Tree Good Luck!!

Well big thanks to both Ayzad & Botia for the awesome gift of BB-5!
Now my set is complete... I'm still determined to find it on my own. I've scraped and scooped a bit, but nothing yet... However, I'm not exactly a professional scooper, so I might need more practice massaging the hidden wonders from Jellisac. - Try eating some rubeweed before you go scooping.
- The BB5 is most likely gotten from 3 or 4 uncommon actions... these be, patch tending, smelting metal, and from what I've heard, barnacle scraping and jellisiac scooping too. And try using rubeweed too... like Botia said.
