Even though I feel for all holo grinders, and I know holo grinders upset you. I got to say this class needs a OVERHAUL bigtime. I admit I ground thourgh ID for my holo as fast as I could. Now heres the bad part .... I did it in 52 minutes! from novice entertainer to master ID in 52 minutes!

I make this post in the hopes you guys will get some attention, 52 minutes is obsurd.

heres how I did it. Grab a crate of V Brandy, grab a crate of M Gold .. grab a partner who has nothing to do for an hour, stand next to a trainer and group.


Eat 2 v Brandys and 1 Moungold ... setup macro as follows


/im;


/imageDesignSetValue hair_color 1;


/pause .25;


/ui action toolbarSlot##;



now sit down and hit your macro, you will gain xp as fast as they can click. In the first 10 minutes you should be done with Novice Entertainer to Novice ID. Now, during M Gold downer change macro to eye_color 1. rinse and repeat until you open the options for changing facial features. (faces 4 I think) Which you should be able to attain before the next M Gold Downer. Now change macro to cheeks 20 or whatever the default that comes up is when you try it out. Now during the next2 M Golds you should be able to average1.5 trees per cycle if your partner is fast enough. 130 something xp 4 times a second is about that I averaged. You will be done in under an hour. Or if you got a twillek as a partner it will go MUCH faster, 3 times the xp for doing the rat tails.

It should be harder to make master image designer, but don't let mastering it in 52 minutes fool you. Actually doing image design, making it look right and finding out what the customer wants is not so easy.

I had a tailoring client last night who used to be a master image designer. After I made him a couple outfits (something for the field, something for the cantinas…) he asked if I would recommend any ID. Keep in mind, he used to be a Master Image Designer, he was the last one to ID himself…and he had no chin. So, yeah, sometimes even the serious IDers don't get it right, and you think that getting 22 skillboxes in 52 minutes really means you've mastered the profession?

Yes, I have had more botched jobs lately than any other time to fix. Many of them are people who botched themselves (I was mastering ID on myself, and now I can't go bald again). Hee hee.

It kind of reminds me of last night. I was talking to a member of my guild who is a master bioengineer about BE stuff and I mentioned that I consider BE to be a sideline for me and that image design is my real profession. He said he was suprised and never thought he would hear anyone say they actually *like* image design. He's a really nice guy and I didn't think he was intentionally trying to insult me, so I didn't get mad or anything. Anyway, he said that he thought it was basically just tweaking how people look and that there really wasn't much to it (which I think is what most people think). I said that was the basics of it, but that is kind of like making pets by sampling random creatures and throwing the ingredients randomly into a crafting tool. It makes a pet, but its a really crummy job.

I didn't really care before and I care even less now. ID needs help but it has nothing to do with how fast someone can race through the trees.

Actually, this is why I love ID I just mastered over the BH I finished and dropped. You get the initial rush of a fast, no-grind mastery, and you still have a content-driven social profession to learn and play!

Ina way its nice, but as long as it takes only an hour to master image designers will never get much respect. People master it quickly for the badge or a holocron, mess themselves and their friends up without even realizing how bad they look, and then drop it thinking that it is the easiest and most trivial profession ever.

I'm almost kind of glad that Hologrinders get through the profession so quickly.


I say that because of my past week. I've been sitting in Coronet and getting a lot of requests. I get tired of watching dozens of afk people so I go to a player town comprised almost entirely by entertainers. I get a heap of ID requests because they don't have any IDers. I go to another player town on another planet for a tailoring appointment, I get hit with a bunch of requests because "Image Designers rarely come through here." I have to go pick up a crate of spiced teaa friend made in another player town across the map (spiced tea lets me get around the "not enough mind" bug when changing age/lekku markings and doesn't break the bank like brandy) and I log in today to several tells and mails about ID requests from there, because someone saw me with my master ID tag up.


My point being, just about everyone and their cousin has mastered ID, but they are dropping it faster than a bad hairstyle. That leaves the handful of people who enjoy the profession primarily being the practitioners of it. (Unlike dancer/musician which people spend weeks on and have alts with for the buffs.)
