	The trial-sized tuning forks are actual items that you need inventory space to hold. There are few requirements to obtain these forks: that you have [[Summoner]] at 15+, have level 2 fame in the city/town you want to acquire the fork for. When you are ready to fight, you must be a level 20+ Summoner, and trade your tuning fork to the NPC who gave it to you. They will then ask if you are ready before teleporting you to the appropriate Protocrystal. You can buff up before entering these fights, and you must fight these battles with only [[Carbuncle]] (no other avatars may be used). Each fight may only be attempted once per real life day (reset at [[Japanese Midnight]]).		The trial-sized tuning forks are actual items that you need inventory space to hold.

'''Tuning Forks''' are [[:Category:Key Items|Key Items]] used in the "Trial by..." series of quests, and actual items used in the "Trial Size Trial by..." series of quests. The NPCs for both quests are always together: one is a [[Tarutaru]], and the other is a member of one of the taller races. In the mainlands the Tarutaru are females, and in the outlands the Tarutaru are males. Speaking to the Tarutaru will get you key item tuning forks for the level 65+ fights (Trial by <element>), and the taller NPC will give you the forks for the level 20 [[Summoner]] solo fights (Trial Size Trial by <element>).

==Normal-Sized Tuning Forks==
The normal tuning forks are temporary key items, and having one allows you to fight the Prime Avatar associated with the element of the fork. To initiate the fight, travel to the appropriate elemental Protocrystal and click on it to enter the battlefield. If you wish to fight with others, every member of your party must have the correct key item.
:''You do not have to have summoner unlocked to do this quest, but you cannot gain the ability to summon the avatar if you have not unlocked it.''

When obtaining your key items, you must have an appropriate amount of [[fame]] in the city where the NPCs are located. You must have at least fame level 6 in [[Bastok]], [[San d'Oria]], [[Kazham]], [[Mhaura]], [[Windurst]], level 5 in [[Rabao]], and level 4 in [[Norg]] (also known as Tenshodo Fame). You can only obtain a particular fork once per Earth day (ie. after handing in your whisper, you must wait until Japanese midnight before you may obtain another fork. If the Whispers are used to get a [[Moon Bauble]], this cool down period is ignored.).

==Trial-Sized Tuning Forks==
The trial-sized tuning forks are actual items that you need inventory space to hold. There are few requirements to obtain these forks: that you have [[Summoner]] at 15+, have level 2 fame in the city/town you want to acquire the fork for. When you are ready to fight, you must be a level 20+ Summoner, and trade your tuning fork to the NPC who gave it to you. They will then ask if you are ready before teleporting you to the appropriate Protocrystal. You can buff up before entering these fights, and you must fight these battles with only [[Carbuncle]] (no other avatars may be used). Each fight may only be attempted once per real life day (reset at [[Japanese Midnight]]).

If you succeed, you will be awarded with the ability to summon the avatar you defeated, and a [[Instant Warp|Scroll of Instant Warp]] so you can return home. If you fail, you will have to find your own way home (most likely you will homepoint when the avatar defeats you). Whether you succeed or are defeated, you will still have the tuning fork in your inventory, which you may throw out, or use to enter the fight again.
*Once thrown out, the mini tuning fork can be acquired again on the next Vana'diel day.
