Thread: dancing my way to heightened senses???
I know a person though that went Jedi w/ Dancer and I'll get her name ASAP for you. I'm sure she has more detailed information.
It is possible i know at 3x4x dancer i can in a full group with a 15% xp buff using exotic 2 cap 900k dance xp and 300k ent xp every 15 hours. But when your group drops or you cant get a group it will take alot longer.
Takes roughly 11 trips to do 1 branch. You get 120k fs xp per trip.
Im dancing my way to senses master right now and many others have done it before.
But once you havesome combat professions, it's kind of hard to switch over and then back again for the trials and Mellichae and all.
so basicly here's what Ive gotten from you guys so far...
1. I dont need master dance, just 3x4x
2. If I play the game for fun (normal RP without dancing)and then go afk at night and while at work, I can get a full branch in approx 11 days with no effort whatsoever.
3. In these post CU times, an elete combat prof can be grinded out in 2 days, so lets say it will take 13 days to get my template back.
Anyone see how this is not a good idea?

I always check with the performer by talkig to them via /tell first. If I don't get a response, they don't get a tip. If I can find an ATK performer they get double my normal tip and I will get my buff through them.
I was once a Master Entertainer/Master Musician until I realized that no matter how much effort I put into trying to entertain, I would be upstaged by the AFK-Macroer grinding for force or to make money for some Chinese credit farmer and standing in the doorway of the Cantina.
I sincerely hope they remove translating Dance or Musician experience to Force Experience, or put it at 35:1 or something. If you really have to take this root, at elast have some mercy on those who play in the profession and go do your dancing/musicplaying in a private house.

And this would be the reason you see so many AFK dancers in the cantina, spamming requests for tips, and generally p***ing off the rest of the entertainment professionals by making it more difficult for those who actually want to be an Entertainer/Dancer/Musician to survive.

Go Master Image Designer.
First of all, you can grind it out in a few hours. Faster if you have a friend who runs a /ui action defaultButton macro to repeat and accept your changes (eye color, eye color, eye color, and keep going). Caution: /ui action defaultButton is a powerful command - any window popped up with be "clicked" on with this command, including but not limited to respec windows, duel challenges, etc. Most default to "no" when using this command. Just fair warning.
Second, you can grind like crazy while at the keyboard doing eye color changes to yourself again and again - no grouping or AFK'ing required. Again, faster if you have an ID victim. You will cap xp in no time.
Third, it will be a lot faster than AFK'ing dance and music and you won't annoy the people who now play those professions live because profession-specific buffs need to be done live.
Fourth, Image Design converts at 7:1, better than 10:1 - and if you can Master it in a few hours, think of how fast you can rake in Senses xp.
Fifth, you can do this in the Village right next to Paemos. Log in, change your eye color for a few hours, make the xp that would have taken you many more hours grinding Dancer or Musician. Granted, you can't AFK Image Design, but getting the branch will feel a lot more satisfying when you've really taken the time to work on it instead of leaving your computer going at night.
Finally, should you actually decide to AFK Dancer or Musician, just let your character run...don't put annoying spam in the macro. Once every hour of "If I'm not in a group, please invite me" would probably be the only acceptable thing...and even that's a stretch. AFK spammers in cantinas are really annoying.
As for myself, I ground out 3 branches of Senses xp doing Creature Handler, and had a ball doing so.
By the way:
900,000 Dance/Music xp converted at 10:1 is 90,000 FS Senses xp.
900,000 Image Designer xp converted at 7:1 is over 128,000 FS Senses xp.
And 900k of ID xp racks up pretty darn fast.

maybe i should have mentioned this in the beginning...
My origional template on this server was dancer/id. with this in mind, i am well aware of the needs and pet peves of the ent community. trust me, i dont need credits and wont be begging for them. most likely i will be dancing at the starport by the village anyway. i would never spam while afk, nor would i do anything to hurt the "real" entertainers.
