-Chimes are created from a fine glass rod using an [http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale6/Acoustics_Laboratory | acoustics laboratory]. The laboratory has 14 possible upgrades which allow you to push the tuning of a chime in different directions around the tuning map.  (Once any upgrade is installed, there is no cost to use that upgrade on a chime). The specific actions of each upgrade is '''laboratory dependent'''--rubbing with silk in one laboratory will have a very different effect than in another laboratory.  It is useful to calibrate or keep notes on what your laboratory's actions each do. The more upgrades you have available, the more options you will have to move about the map.

 In order to create the other chimes, use the upgraded actions to "tune" the chime.
-Each action will attempt to move your position a set length and direction (unique to that action). Note that this length is most likely '''not an integer cell length nor a pure N,S,E,W direction!!''' If your action isn't blocked by a wall on the map, then one tuning action will usually move your position far from the center of the cell in which you began. When you end far from a cell center, your chime is in a non-pure state. When you play a chime in a non-pure state, you will be told in Main channel "The sound is as pure as water after a rain. You think you hear: ''chime name''" (the chime name is the chime whose map cell center you are closest to). You will also hear a muddle mix of chime sounds playing. If you remove the chime when you are not in a pure state, it will ruin the chime.

-However, there is no limit to how many tuning actions you can take, so you can keep tuning until you get close enough to a cell center to have a pure chime. You'll get a flyaway message indicating its a pure sound: "The sound is as pure as crystal. You hear: ''chime name''". You can then safely remove the chime, and it will permanently be tuned to that chime sound.

 Moving around the chime map is not so simple, though, as most paths are not open for free movement. There are many walls that separate cells. Some of these walls are totally blocked, and there is no way through them. Others are only partially blocked, and (with persistance) you can find a spot to pass through.  And some cells do have totally open boundaries.

 The chime map is the same for all players, regardless of the laboratory. It changes each tale (or the walls do).

 There are 100 total chimes available, each with a unique sound. They are denoted with an action (Diving, Floating, Gliding, Hovering, Soaring) and a type of bird (Albatross, Crane, Raven, etc.)
