Entertainer Archive

I am a fledgling entertainer on Flurry, and have a question about Image Design. Music, dancing, and entertainment healing I understand.

How do most of the rest of you get your Image Design experience? Should I start asking my patrons if I can practice on them, or should I wait for requests? I'd really like to make Master Entertainer, but this branch on our tree is stumping me.

Many thanks in advance!

Personally, I'd find another entertainer friend and work on each other. That's how I worked mine up.

Yeah, like Kaelya said, your bandmates are you best guinea pigs. Since you're grouped anyway, they're ready for you to attack with makeup and hair curlers! Entertainers rarely get asked for image design, although I've had it happen a time or two.

When I was going for ME, I used by musicdown-time (resting my action bar) to design other members in the band. Some pointers:

1. Always ask first. Some of those looks were done by master IDers, and they might not want your "fat fingers" to mess it up. Plus, they'll need to hit accept on your changes, so obviously you can't use anyone who may be busy with /tell chats or afk.

2. In general, there's always some area you can ID without actually making a change. At low levels (I believe up to ID2), it's hair color. For higher levels it's eye color.These categories giveyoua slider bar that represents the color. Just leave it where it starts, hit ok. When they accept you get the xp, and they haven't changed their look.

3. When all else fails, you can practice on yourself either by targeting with ctrl-1, or using the command "/image self". You only get about 1/3 or 1/4 of the experience (with the same mind cost), but the convenience sometimes makes up for that. Say when you're waiting that 9 minutes for the next shuttle.

Thanks a ton Kae and Sci! Even though I'm extremely happy with all of my coloring, it's good to know that I can actually move my own leku around as well.
