Entertainer Archive

I am a Marksman, but I've recently picked up some entertainer skills in order to heal the Battle Fatigue wounds when we are out hunting in the middle of nowhere.

I thought I was supposed to be able to heal BF when playing music in a camp ? It sure doesn't seem so. I am not getting it to work at all !

Can someone enlighten me ?

Don't quote me on this, but it might be camp level related.

I know for sure that in lower camps, BF is not healed, but heard rumours that it is in higher level camps...

I'm a Pistoleer who just picked up Enterainer as a second profession but beforehand I looked on the board to see if the profession was for me. I found out that you can heal mind wounds in the camps but not battle fatigue. I would think this was added so everyone would get Noivce Enterainer and make the profession useless.

I found that on the boards so it might not be true but it seems logical

You are correct. BF can only be healed in Cantinas, Theatres, and MAYBE Hotels (I forget).

According to the rangers, the highest level camps do not heal BF.

I'm inclined to believe them.

add PA Halls to that list

Battle Fatigue can only be healed in private structures, cantinas, hotels and taverns. I can't even do it in Medical Centers... though I play anyway for the poor medics

BF must be healed in town (this is really a hook to get people to visit and be social once in a while, and prevent continuous raids, I expect.)

And as for everyone getting novice entertainer and making the profession useless... Well, first off, 15 skill points is not trivial once you get into the high end. I've already had to drop novice scout and novice marksman for other uses, and will drop novice artisan as well soon.

Second, it's true that any entertainer can heal mind wounds in camp, and BF in town, but... the higher skill a player has, the faster it is healed. This decreased downtime is also non-trivial.

Third, only an advanced profession Musician or Dancer can buff your mind stat, and only a Master Musician or Master Dancer can buff that stat by the maximum amount possible. Now that we know a bit about how these buffs work, I think things are going to get more interesting. And hopefully the master musicians and master dancers will get a bit of respect for their abilities, both in towns and in the field. I know that I don't know many people who'd turn down a doubled mind stat from having one of each in their group.
