I'm a Master Dancer/Master Musician/Master Entertainer/Tattoo Artist/Expert Hairstylist and I manage just fine. I've got two houses, a speeder, lots and lots of clothes and a cantina deed I'm waiting to use. The good thing about entertainers is that we don't need a lot of money to pursue our professions. Once we've sorted out our wardrobes we're pretty much set. Unlike the combat professions we don't have to buy buffs and equipment and replace our armour all the time. It's not a lot of money but I always seem to have around 100k in my account, more than enough to live well on.

I have made it as a pure entertainer. I have my own cantina, a medium house with a good selection of 'collectables', 3 vehicles, 5 droids, too damned many clothes, and over 3 million credits in the bank.

Those of you who do make a living it at it, where does the income come from? Selling buffs, healing BF, just performing...and where do you go to do it?

This random sig quote is brought to you by Brian Daley:
"A good punchline is itself a victory over those who would destroy you."

Deli’ah is master Dancer/Musician/Entertainer with the remaining points in ID.

And I guess my answer would be yes and no.

She does have plenty of credits to survive, travel and have fun with fairly nice houses and wardrobe bursting at seems.

However there are plenty of items in game I would like her to have but can’t afford. At least not as long as the game’s economy remains in its current inflated state.
Sure, some of those items are nothing but eye candy, purely for vanity purposes but it doesn’t make me want them any less.

Other are actually items important for her profession I can’t seem to be able to put the credits together for.

It is true my playtime is fairly limited, so that may be the reason also.
I consider myself a casual player so I try not to think too much about the financial difference between entertainers and combat.
But I do find it strange that all classes are not created equal with equal chances.
I’m not sure how many slippers I would have to dance thru in order to make as much in tips as the guy I just buffed will make with my buffs.
In the past I did try combat (for purpose of boosting my income) but never could get “in to it”, for me it was just very boring, lonely and unfulfilling.

No entertainer can match the earning potential of a combat profession minute for minute. An artisan can exceed both of those after a few months and after they have colected a goodly amount of rare rescources.

Since entertainers are merely beggars in the current game mechanics it depends on "other" things the entertainer is doing to augment their income. Those other things might be role play, combat missions, delivery quests for semi-rare items (these are an easy source of income for some people), joining a guild or partnering with a dedicated combat/artisan type etc etc.
