Make sure your Stamina and Quickness are both at least 500, preferably higher. It does not matter if your Action pool is only 400 or so, the Cost and Regen stats are much more important. My Rodian can do two flourishes per tick non-stop, on account of an 800 Stamina regenerating Action faster than it is spent.

Once you've set those up, the max xp is now determined by the number of active performers in your group, the number of people listening to or watching those performers, and the instrument you are using. If you're using an instrument that isn't the highest you can currently play, you'd probably get more exp out of a higher song.

Now you too can grind your way up the Musician tree!

Stat Migration

Or

Eat certain food/drink certain drinks...

All of my stats are FUBAR at the moment. Each one is about 30-40 below where they are supposed to be and have been there for quite some time. The food thing didn't work to fix them either. I do ok, though.

Besides, I hunt pretty regularly as a brawler/pistol fighter, so I can't really afford to switch stats at the moment. But if I ever get my stats straight I may try adjusting them a bit.

If you're going to grind instruments, get more than one crafting device and go for the ones that take more resources.

But the cost of that is horrendous, and I think the cantina might take it in rate anyways.

The following commands may be of use to you, if you want to change your profession title in a macro:

(Novice Entertainer) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_entertainer_novice;

(Apprentice Musician) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_entertainer_music_04;

(Apprentice Performer) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_entertainer_healing_04;

(Master Entertainer) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_entertainer_master;

(Novice Musician) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_musician_novice;

(Composer) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_musician_knowledge_04;

(Virtuoso) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_musician_ability_04;

(Skilled Musician) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_musician_wound_04;

(Mesmerizer) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_musician_shock_04;

(Master Musician) /setCurrentSkillTitle social_musician_master;

The command will not work if you do not have the appropriate skill box.

the quality of the instruments does not matter, the class
of the instrument does. Always try to use the last instrument
you got to get best xp rate.

The xp changes you observe are from listeners or people who
/cheer your performance. The more /listeners the more xp.

That is the main reason why entertainers who need to get xp
went to "social gathering" points.

HTH

There's no mention of the fact that /flourish x followed by /bandflourish y gets you more XP (around double)

Also the crafting and performinf certificates seem to be the wrong way round, I'm musician 2003 and I can't use the mandivol (the way I read the certs I shoud be able to use it, just not make it) and couldn't make a Traz with just novice, when I think I should be able to make it at novice. But now I can make it...

The skills thing isn't clear at all.

Certification for mandoviol is at Master Entertainer, not in the Musician skilltree. And yeah..double flourishing will give you the xp for 2 flourishes. You don't have to use /bandflo. Please keep in mind, when you call a /bandflo, you're the only one in the group who will get skill xp for that flourish.

No it isn't clear at all.

Simply put, the skills gained going up the Music Tech tree ONLY grants access to making the instrument. Certs in the Music Knowledge tree grant the ability to play them.

As to the other certs in Nov Ent, Music 1-4, Master Ent, Nov Music, and Master Music....Each instrument has two separate listings, one with a check and one without. I can never remember which is which, but All on the listings of each type, checked or unchecked, correspod to crafting or playing. I THINK that the unchecked is to play it and the Check is to craft it. Easy was is to check Master Entertainer. There is one instrument listing for Mandoviol in that box. It is the certification to play it.

Regarding flourishes, if you do ANY 2 flos in one tick, regular or bandflo, you get the "double" or max XP for that tick. You can do 2 bandflos or 2 regular. There is no benefit for specifically doing one flo then one bandflo. Bandflos, however, give no xp benefit for anyone other than the person doing them, BUT they do use up action from EVERYONE. Its always nice to ask before doing them, but anyone can always turn them off by doing a "/bandflo off" or "/b off".
