Hello people. I need help in getting fast to novice ID from entertainer, and from novice to master.

Let me first start by saying I am not a holo-grinder. But there is a true fact about IDs: you can't start making good money or having fun until your almost master.

Im at image designing II in entertainer profession, and its taking forever.

All Im asking is a tip or something on what to do to move up faster. Do only hair until novice and then body changing till master? or what?

thank you.

Switch to eyes as soon as you can, and work on other people as much as you can. If you have to work on yourself do it in the tent and make sure you target yourself before the ID session with /target self or CTRL +1 (or during the sessions with /image self). I wish you much serenity and willpower, you will need them.




Final word of advice, take frequent breaks. Grinding up to master in long sessions is probably not good for your health.

Well there really isn't any way to do ID even remotly fast, the fastest possible way to do it would be to get a friend, go sit in one of the tents, grind outhair changes till you can do eye color changes (ID 2 or 3 in the ent tree I believe), then doeye color or body changes onyourfriendtill master. Even doing this, which is currently the fastest method possible, you are looking at 60+ hours of straight non-automated grinding, meaning you will have to be at the computerto make the changes. I also agree with Bri that you shouldn't grindthrough IDas fast as possible as the ID tents have the nasty side effect of stealing your sanity if you ID for extremely long stretches of time.

Once you hit Novice ID you'll have a lot more fun. :-)


I've got 200,000XP worth of more fun to have yet.

Expect a very very long grind if that's how you're doing it.

Total Exp Required: 441000
Amount Per Eye Change (self): 150
Changes Required: 2940
Time Per Change (non-tent): 4 minutes

Total Time: 11760 minutes/196 hours/8.16 days


That's grinding 24 hours per day. I am very happy I attained master pre-patch. I have my own personal ID alt to do anything I want.
