If you look at the scroll...it tells you that you have to be a novice musician to use this.

Yes, I understand that. However many people are complaining that you have to be higher than novice to bank the 400K xp to use the scroll. I agree that you probably have to be higher, but then the question is ....How much over Novice do you need to bank 400K. Some people were saying that you needed a tier 3 box (either 3x0x or 0x3x)

That's what I am testing now.

The rule of thumb of being able to hold 2x the next XP box does not apply for music and dance. We know that 900K is the max not only at masterbut also holding a single box 3 working to 4 on music XP. I'm at 0000 dance and I have 245K XP stored.....I think that 0000 will cap at either 250, 300 or 350K xp....we shall see. Most likely you can bank the 400K (and more)xp at 1x0x or 0x1x Music. I shall advise as I hit it.

I agree with Aleyo- this quest is challenging and I don't think that it was ever intended to be do-able in an hour or two. If you do it over time - its enjoyable and natural. Yes you actually have to get lots of xp (but if you are a musician why aren't you playing anyways?) and you need people to watch you (get some of your entertainer, guild or other friends to watch you if you like and/or just stand in a reasonably active cantina and greet everyone who comes in (with either a Hi, nod, smile or whatever your character's style is) and you'd be surprised how many of them /listen to you on their own (and how many tips you'll make!). It may take some time i.e. hours but why is that a bad thing?

The neat part about the quest is that for the promotions part, its just ongoing and doesn't reset or can't be failed so its easy to do along with whatever else you'd normallybe doing. Same with the xp requirement.

My favorite part of the quest is theperformances though. The good chance of failing only heightens my stress (in a good way) and actually succeeding is incredibly exciting YAY!!!!!!! Before theperformances I clean off my entire computer desk (so nothing will bump my mouse or keyboard) set up a specific quickbar and set up a strategically located pad of paper and marker with a big + colum and - column and quickly write down songs and flos (songs by the first letter and number if appropriate i.e. s3 for starwars3) and flos by the number in the correct column as I'm /conv ing with the audience.

so in conclusion I LOVE this quest because its so challenging and unique! But maybe the SWG should have included a warning - "Do not expect to do this quest in one evening. May take months or more. If you are impatient, please do not attempt.Most rewarding when time istaken to enjoy."

Question :

I know that you have to have a skill tree of 4 to be able to get the 400Kxp to learn it - but when it is learned, Do you have to be a Master Musician to play Western?

Or can you just be a Novice Musician?

And what if you drop musicianskill boxes after learning Western, can you still play Western if you are Novice Musician or even entertainer?

Thanks!

Please do, Frag. I'll do 400K for the dance (and a return to the poplockin'), but not sure I have it in me to grind dance to 0040 and then do the 400K.

So...to give an update......

I do not have the exact box needed, but Its all but solid its 1x0x or 0x1x to be able to hold 400K xp on music or dance.

I capped yesterday at 350K having 0000. I'm back over 350K now and headed for 400K at 0010. I'll tell you where I finally cap.
