Overview of Mermaid Isle Materials
In Mermaid Isle, crafting the powerful Trident of Honor requires collecting three unique materials through specialized mini-quests. These materials—known as rainstones—are tied to distinct world events that test your musical memory and observation skills. Whether you choose to grind the quests or pay in premium currency, understanding how each event works is essential for efficient progression.

You can obtain the Trident of Honor through two methods: complete the three quest events over a day or two for free, or purchase it instantly for 13,500 pearls. Questing is highly recommended for the gameplay experience and pearl savings.
Material Types Comparison
| Material | Source Event | Key Mechanic | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jellyfish Stone | Jellyfish Event | Follow path, match notes | Easy |
| Rain Stone | Raindrop Event | Pop surface bubbles in open areas | Medium |
| Night Ray Stone | Night Rays Event | Observe and match bubble notes | Medium |
Jellyfish Event: First Material Farming
The Jellyfish event is the most straightforward of the three material quests. When the event begins, the game sends a notification allowing you to teleport directly to the starting location. Your goal is to follow a designated path and sing the correct notes corresponding to each jellyfish you encounter.
There are numerous jellyfish along the route, providing ample opportunities to accumulate points. Each jellyfish displays a specific note that you must replicate accurately to earn credit toward your material reward.
Watch for the notification pop-up when the Jellyfish event starts. Teleport immediately to maximize your time on the path. Focus on accuracy rather than speed—correct notes yield consistent points toward your stone.
Jellyfish Event Breakdown
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Automatic server notification |
| Teleport | Available when event starts |
| Objective | Match notes on jellyfish path |
| Point Yield | High (many jellyfish spawn) |
| Reward | Jellyfish Stone |
| Recommended Focus | Accuracy over speed |
Raindrop Event: Clay Rainstone Quest
The Raindrop event tasks you with popping bubbles that appear on the water's surface. You must sing the correct note displayed on each bubble to pop it and earn points. The key strategy here involves positioning yourself in open, deserted areas where more bubbles tend to spawn.
Unlike the Jellyfish event, Raindrops require active searching. Players who cluster in popular zones will find fewer bubbles, making spatial awareness a critical skill for efficient farming.
More bubbles spawn in completely deserted, open areas. Avoid crowded zones where other players compete for the same bubbles. Find an isolated region to maximize your point gains during the event window.
Find an Open Area
Teleport to a low-traffic zone with wide open water. Avoid popular gathering spots where other players are actively hunting bubbles.
Scan the Surface
Look for bubbles appearing on the water's surface. Each bubble will display a specific musical note that you need to match.
Sing the Correct Note
Input the matching note for each bubble. Correct matches pop the bubble and award points toward your Clay Rainstone.
Collect Your Material
After accumulating enough points, you will receive the Clay Rainstone material needed for crafting the Trident.
Night Rays Event: Final Material Guide
The Night Rays event introduces a layer of observation challenge. You must summon night rays and look for bubbles they carry. Each bubble displays a correct note that you must sing to pop it and earn points. However, not all night rays carry bubbles—some will appear without any indicator.
This event requires patience and careful visual scanning. Rushing through without checking each night ray for a bubble will result in missed scoring opportunities and slower material acquisition.
Some night rays will be missing their bubble entirely. Stay observant and only sing when you can clearly see the note on a bubble. Wasting notes on empty rays slows your overall progress.
Night Rays Quick Reference
| Element | Behavior | Player Action |
|---|---|---|
| Night Ray with Bubble | Displays a note | Sing matching note to pop |
| Night Ray without Bubble | No indicator | Skip and move to next |
| Scoring | Points per successful pop | Accumulate for stone |
| Event Duration | Time-limited | Maximize scans per minute |
Crafting the Trident of Honor
Once you have collected all three Mermaid Isle materials—the Jellyfish Stone, Clay Rainstone, and Night Ray Stone—head to Tranquil Waters to find Ekko. Ekko serves as the crafting NPC who combines your materials into the Trident of Honor.
After crafting, the Trident appears in your weapon section within the inventory. It is immediately ready for battle use, making it one of the most accessible power spikes available through questing in the game.
If you prefer to skip the questing process entirely, the Trident of Honor can be purchased for 13,500 pearls. This is a significant currency investment, so weigh the value of your time against your pearl reserves.
Trident of Honor Checklist:
- Obtain Jellyfish Stone from Jellyfish event
- Collect Clay Rainstone from Raindrop event
- Acquire Night Ray Stone from Night Rays event
- Travel to Tranquil Waters
- Locate Ekko and craft the Trident
- Equip from weapon inventory section
Questing vs. Purchasing: Cost Analysis
| Method | Time Investment | Currency Cost | Experience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Questing Route | 1-2 days | Free | Full gameplay |
| Purchase Route | Instant | 13,500 pearls | Skips content |
| Hybrid Approach | Partial | Reduced pearl cost | Mixed |
Material Farming Tips & Efficiency
Maximizing your material farming efficiency comes down to understanding spawn patterns, event timing, and optimal positioning. Each of the three events has distinct mechanics that reward different playstyles and strategies.
Jellyfish Efficiency
- Teleport immediately on notification
- Follow the full path without backtracking
- Focus on note accuracy for consistent points
- Large jellyfish count means high yield potential
Raindrop Efficiency
- Find deserted areas for better spawns
- Open water zones produce more bubbles
- Avoid competing with other players
- Scan surface continuously while moving
Night Ray Efficiency
- Check every ray for bubble presence
- Skip empty rays without wasting notes
- Maintain steady observation pace
- Balance speed with visual scanning
All three events operate on server-side timers. Missing an event window means waiting for the next cycle. Plan your play sessions around event notifications to avoid downtime and maximize your material output per day.
Event Priority Rankings
| Rank | Event | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jellyfish | Easiest mechanics, highest point yield, notification-based |
| 2 | Raindrop | Medium difficulty, requires open area positioning |
| 3 | Night Rays | Most observation-heavy, some rays lack bubbles |
