I still get dancer & musician buffs, then stack vasarian on top.
If I get into a 1on1 fight with someone, I'll also pop a muon

Yes, you are the new musicians. Why? because, at least on Eclipse, sometimes it's impossible to find a non-afk master musician and a non-afkmaster dancer in the same place at the same time.


And sometimes the master musicians/dancer available don't want to buff, or charge a ridiculous price. I've been asked 10K for a musician buff, which is absurd if you consider that they don't use resources to buff..


When I'm asked to tip "what I feel it's the right price" I usually tip 6K, but 10K is ridiculous.. with 10K I believe I can pay Brian May to play for me lol

Yes, and It think 6K it's a nice tip, if you consider that they buff only one (dancer) or two (musicians) bars. If you want 10K at least name your character Brian May and play a Red Special guitar.. I'll be happy to tip you 10K

Nah... I know I wouldn't bother running through half a continent to buff someone that PM's me with "Buff me in coro cant plzzz" for 6k.

If I'm in place and dancing/singing/whatever and someone asks up front... maybe.

Still, 10.000 credits aint nothing for someone needing a buff. They last quite a while and remember that entertainers dont have much else to give them an income.

I never ask a musician/entertainer to run on my planet to buff me, this wouldn't be fair. I check the most populated cantinas all over the galaxy to find one (if the guys on my buddy list are offline), so 6-8K it's in my opinion a very fair price. With 6K for Mind+6k for the secondary stats+ the travel tickets a mind buff can easily reach the price of 14-5K... but the worst thing is that sometimes, after I manage to find 1 half of a mind buff (primary or secondary stats)I waste 30-40 mins to find the other buff, then 10 mins listening to the buffer, and after that I can run missions for just 1hr... Oh, and sometimes I can find only a musician or a dancer, but not both... If they don't allow you to create some kind of buff pack, more and more people will will use the chef foods to boost their stats, because now that the holo grinding is over it's hard and sometime impossible to get a mind buff in a reasonable time. not to mention at a reasonable price.

I've got a Master Doc/Master Musician alt, and no I don't think you are the new musician. You're like the backup singers

But seriously, my mind stats are like this when normal: 1100 mind, 800 focus, 1100 will.Here's what I can get it to with all my buffs:

Musician buff to 1600 focus, 2200 willpower.
Vasarian Brandy to 1900 mind, 2400 focus, 3000 willpower
Vagnerian Canape to 3000 focus, 3600 willpower
Muon Gold to 2400 mind, 3500 focus, 4100 willpower
Powerboost to 2950 mind

I'm at 2950/3500/4100 when I'm fully buffed. Now that ain't bad

CM's... here I come... lay your mind poison on me...

As I sit and craft +400 Vasarian Brandy with a cask(18) and medium BE components(Lasting 45 minutes), I have to feel sorry for the poor musicians who are trying to buff people for 500 for 2 hours. I have to wonder if sony intended us to be able to make such good secondary mind buffs, and I have a feeling it wont stay exactly the same for to long. (Or stacking will be eliminated. +800 to all mind stats for 45 minutes anytime, anyplace?) So im wondering what you guys think, will Vasarian Brandy be nerfed?


If not... I feel bad for the entertainers. If so... I will be sad cause I already love the stuff.

Solution, buff up the entertainer buffs a little!


Just some random ideas ive been thinking about to late at night.

But there buffs stack on this =) and if anything, the food that reduces there buff time will increase there buff demand. I know I've always skipped getting mind buffed just because I don't want to wait 10 minutes to be buffed (if theres not a line-up). If some Dancer/Musician was advertising buffs in 3-4 minutes, I may be more inclined to get one.
