Tinkering Chimesmith

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Tinkering Chimesmith** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Flight who offers the  Tinker Stance. The Chimesmith is found on the Wind Paths' main island, to the left of the Flight Guide. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are  Hair, a  Hair Accessory, the  Kalimba (instrument), and an  Outfit.

## Memory

The Tinkering Chimesmith spirit can be found on the Wind Paths's main island, up the stone steps to the player's left if facing the Flight Guide, who stands in the center of the island. This spirit is a standard memory quest with 10 memory fragments and a 15-minute overall time limit.

As you relive its memory, you can see the Tinkering Chimesmith climbing up the stone steps, hanging bells from each stone arch on their way up the mountain. At one point, they drop their hammer while hanging bells from the arches. As they reach the arch on the top of the mountain, they pause and use their hands to measure where they want their bells to hang from. Once they successfully hang the bells from the topmost arch, they board a Manta-driven boat which takes them to an island towards the right of the central island relative to the entrance from the Hidden Forest's Social Space. This island, which is positioned at a higher altitude than the Talented Builder's neighboring island, is home to their workshop, where they are seen pondering their work and curling up next to their worktable.

At the end of the memory, the Tinkering Chimesmith listens to each of their bells ring, lost in thought.

## Stance

The Tinkering Chimesmith does not offer an Expression but instead offers a Stance. The  Tinker Stance will raise your avatar's arms and point your feet inward. The Stance will affect your avatar's position when standing, kneeling, sitting, or lying down.

* Standing will make your avatar raise their arms close to their chest, and will point their feet inwards.
* Kneeling will make your avatar crouch down, supported by their toes, with their hands placed over their knees. They lean forward as though looking closely at something lower to the ground.
* Sitting will make your avatar sit criss-cross, with their legs folded over one another, and with their hands placed on their knees. Their head is bowed as they sit.
* Lying down will make your avatar lay on their left side with their legs bent and with their hands pressed together under their head.
