Thread: Suggestion for Master Dancer

Hello fellow dancers!


I was just wanting to make a suggestion. I understandthe purpose of the higher action costs for each new dance while we are leveling up to master, otherwise we would be able to level up too fast. However, once we become masters, I wish it could be lowered. Kind of a perk for becoming a master. You can't do anything with the dance XP after you become a master anyway, so it would be nice if we could dance longer for the love of entertaining!

Welcome, Findrake


Check out Ravenmist's sticky post at the very top of the forum, where she lists the top Dancer issues as of 7-25. #2 is:


2. Action cost for dancing is way too high. As it is right now, a Master Dancer can only dance for a few minutes before having to sit and rest again. This is completely out of sync with reality and is not acceptable in the least.


*Ideas to fix this problem.


a.) As things are currently the more skilled the dancer is the faster they run out of action. A real dancers stamina and ability to dance longer improves as they practice and condition their bodies. If anything the action cost should go down instead of up and at Master should be very small so they can dance for much longer periods of time.


So, you see, you're thinking in exactly the right direction!

Hello Sinda!


Wow, that was a fast response. I went to read something on the Radiant board, came back for just a second and there was already a reply.


I'm sorry, I had read the post by Ravenmist. I was actually just suggesting this for masters. I have read many posts listing not enough perks to make it to Master Dancer...I think this would be a large perk to becoming master! This way you still work very hard to get to master, but you get extra incentive for achieving master.


Thanks for the quick response!

I definitely agree. There should be mroe of a benefit to getting master dancer. I am coming towards it, and I would definitely like a lower action cost, as I am already only able to dance for about 4-5 min before having to heal.

Seems like costs should be lowered as you get better anyway. You'd think that fitness comes with massive time spent dancing, and by the time you're master you should be able to go hours without a rest.


Oh, and btw, when I was chef before having to drop that skill for my main skill, I would offer free drinks to entertainers and dancers, and maybe 1 out of 10 would take them. Seems no one realized that the drinks I was offering would increase their action and decrease their action costs. Tried telling people this and no one would listen. So if you keep eating and drinking that helps too.
