FAQ - Ver 1.0
- What happens if I fail the quest?
- You have to start over with that quest after waiting 24 hours.
- Also server reset will not effect this timer so it is a true timer, like those used in faction bases.
- How do I know how may people I have Entertained?
- Every time that some one selects you to watch, during the advertising quests.
- You recieve a system message stating the person that watched you and the number of people left.
- All of the Theaters have Managers, can I start multiple quests from each of the Theaters?
- Absolutly not, all Theater Managersare linked.
- After you get a quest you get the standard, finish your quest dialogue from all of them.
- Also this means that you can travel around to different cities and not have to travel all the way back to the theater you started in.
- However this is not very realistic.
- What else does My entertainer rank give me access to?
- The rank is currently being used only for the Theater quest.
- One last note of the Rank, there is no command currently to see your rank and it does not display on your character sheet.
- The Audiance
- The Audiance will give you suggesstions on what they would like to see / hearor not see /hear, this includes specific dances / music, flourishes, and specticals.
- How do I get a high rating during the quest?
- Use flourishes, specticals, and the dances / music the audiance wants to see or hear. I have yet to perform the same flourish that the audiance likes to see if the system is fluidic.To find out if the audiance will reject what they like after X number of performances of that flourish.
Entertainer Terminal Missions have not been changed, just for those that may ask.
This guide is no longer being updated, any solid entertainer may use this data in combenation with testing to create a new guide, TC just takes to long to grind a proper entertainer to test these quests. Thank you for all the help in creating this guide.

Thank you for putting this together!
I wonder if we could get badges for the various ranks.
I would, however, argue that the theater managers being linked could be realistic depending on how you look at it... All the theaters seem to be related in some way (They all display the same posters...) so perhaps it is some sort of entertainer's union.
But it would be nice to see different quests from different theaters.

"Forbidden Love" (The human/bothan)
"You won't eat my nuna!" "A play by ..." (Someone's name that I can't make out, it's too small) (The twi'lek pointing)
"The Merchant of Mos Espa" (Umm, forget which one)
That's all I remember off the top of my head. I can check again tonight.

Thank you very much for the information! Perhaps this will renew my interest in visiting theatres for things other than shows!

To me this looks like a one-time quest thing. That means you can't re-do the tests. So the rewards are only going to be one-time rewards. In short, no entertainer is getting rich from these new quests, and I can't see what there is to be excited about. These quests are about as wet as a fish's wet bits. I shall do them in about 5 minutes while yawning - they don't exactly look as if they're going to put much pressure on me. After that I'll be, what, 1500 credits richer? Woop-de-doo!Finally enough money to buy a pair of second-hand underwear. Oh yeah, and probably a badge - can I get more excited?
Oh I hope so. If I can't, there's probably something wrong with me.

Its a beginning. This rank system should be expanded upon. Here are some ideas for development:
After the first set of auditions are done, the real life of the entertainer could start, for example like this:
Player Cantina owners could access a screen in their cantina where they requests musicians, dancers or both.
They should pay an upfront fee, that will be paid to the entertainers if they successfully complete the mission. They should enter in when the mission offerstarts and when it expires, and the maximum number of people the mission should be offered to.
Entertainers looking for work could then, after successfully doing the auditions and initial npc missions in the theater, contact theater managers to get presented a list of the nearest player owned cantinas that are looking to hire entertainers.
when they accept the mission, they get the waypoint, mission start time, and mission end time.
Cantina owner can get an email from the theater manager, with the names of the people that have signed up for playing.
And something else to think about: The highest ranking entertainers should get a poster of them selves up on the theater walls, and earn the right to a limited schematic of themselves that they can use for marketing purposes.
Not exactly sure about how to go about with creating posters of in-game characters though, but it would have been cool to have some changing posters.
Just a few ideas I got on how to improve this system.

That all sounds great. I just hope something positivewill be added before I againleave the game in frustration - next time willmost likelybe the last time. I fear that the current Theatre Quest thing is about all we'll see in terms of contentfor a year or two. And given the game's history, especially concerning the cantina professions, I doubt we'll see anything ascomplicated as your idea (even justin terms of necessary gamefixes)for a number of years - if ever.
