Pssst.... it's 120 flourishes. 
And I still need to do a bit more testing on the 2 minute methods to find out more about what's going on with it. What conditions may break it, which don't, etc. The kinds of things that devs will ask me about so they can narrow down whether it's allowable "as intended", and such. So, there's a stealth update on my looking into the 'possible exploit' question for you, Danial.

It takes 150 flourishes. At the rate at which you can perform flourishes, presuming your action bar isn't a problem, that means 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
However, there is a way to buff in two minutes flat. (Please don't ask for it. I am not sharing it here, as it may or may not be an exploit).

That was SOOOOOOOOOO a typo....lol
Anyways...she's right. When she figures out, she'll let us know. For now, the three minute 20 second method is your best bet, at five flourishes and then an eight second pause (that's how I did it when doing 3:20 buffs).
Also--To all who have PM'd me in game or via the forums about the 2 minute buffs...please don't be upset I haven't answered. I will only release this after Deila confirms that it is NOT an exploit and is actually something that is okay to do. I do not want to get anyone into trouble.
Thanks,
Dan

Just curious, has anyone actually experimented with the t'ssolok? Its chef-made, and has a base bonus (non-BE'd)of 15-24% reduction in buffing time for (base) 6-12 minutes? I never have tried it, just wondering if anyone had.

I tried it a few months ago (I also have a BE/Chef char) and it does not appear to work. Others have confirmed in posts on the Chef forum that it is broken. I haven't even thought about it in a few months so can't say if that has changed.

It's still broken, waste of chef resources to even make it, till it gets fixed, but if ppl can't wait for 3min 20sec, then why bother with a buff then?

just as the title says.
I'm finding it takes about 4 minutes
/tsk Garlic! I could have told you that! I can't believe you didn't ask me! 5 flourishes,/pause 8, and repeat for 3 min 20 seconds. If you need help I'd be happy to fix your macro...but we'd have to take out the lekku stomping.

From what I gather, T'ssolsk is reported to be broken, but it makes me wonder if it's being used properly. It's not the dancer or musician that drinks it, I'm told it's the buff recipient that drinks it.

Yes..it is the recipient who is supposed to drink it.
