Musician Archive

Why does it take forever to level? I mean, you gain so little music xp which takes you for ever to level! Is there any way to gain more xp other than grouping with as many musicians as you can, flourishing like crazy and using the highest instrument and playing the highest song you can?

Whats the rush?

It does take a lot of time and dedication to become a master musician.

Ifind that what works best is to go play some music for a little while then go work on some other skills that way I dont gt burned out on one thing.

You can practically get a skill per casual night of gaming in a good sized group right now... how much easier could it be.

Heehe.. why does it take so "long" to level.

The game has been out 1 month. And there are master musicians already. *blinks*

When Master Musicians bring in the Nalargons and Omnibox, it CAN raise XP for everyone BiG time

Be patient young padawan....you'll get to "Rock" in no time.....

You can just use auto-loop macros and earn your xp while sleeping or working. I know it's not the most honorable way of earning xp, but I'm willing to bet that most if not all master musicians did it and as long as this "feature" is available, most musicians will do it if they know how...

Yes Prometheus, many Musicians I know are using aliases to get to Master fast. Because they are sick of hearing the same old thing again and again. Once they reach Master, they'll be more social because there's no need to grind anymore. They can whip out any instrument that they want and just play alongwhile socializing with the people. Or do some combat since there's no need for them to gain any music xp or healing xp anyway. I'm just 200K away from Master because of a 7.5hr script I'm using. It's not honourable I know.

I'm not blaming anyone for using scripts,I have started doing it myself after seeing all those Master Musicians/Dancers show off at my local cantina

Because I like to social, anyway, but when there is barely anyone on the server, in the cantina, etc that's the only time I afk/macro a lot

I don't know about music playing, but in Sampling I have been knocked off the server (Game shut down to desktop) several times.

Oops Missing words correction:

Because I like to social, anyway-> I don't do a lot AFK/grinding... because I like to social, anyway

Thanks everyone for your input!

I just have one question. Prometheus79 said: "You can just use auto-loop macros and earn your xp while sleeping or working." What excactly are auto-loop macros, and how do you do/use them?

Sorry, maybe you all flame me now, but I think it should take 100x the time to get up to Master Musician. And that not only for the musician profession, no, for all professions.

There are already loads of Masters in the game, 4 weeks after the game started. I will make my master degree next session too.

Same for architects, droid crafters, and so on.

High end content in SWG = missing. So what's the goal after you mastered 1 or even 2 skills?

Gaining money? For what? Talked to a Master Architect friend of mine today, she said she has 4 million CR in bank and cannot find anything worth to spend on.

So after you have 2 master degrees and your points are burned, the game is kinda over for you.

No goal anymore.

No high end mobs for rare item drops.

No items to spend money on.

Dead game.
