Thread: Musicianship points
you will never get music points if you don't flourish. You will always get entertainer healing xp just from playing as long as people are /listening to you in pa halls, camps, cantina's, hotels. A few tips:
Always play your highest song orhighest instrument. This will insure that you get the maximum xp.
Do two flourishes in a row, then pause for a bit and do 2 again. etc etc. This will give you maximum xp, more than 2 flourishes in a row doesn't increase xp. As you learn more and get higher you will find the best balance to keep your action bar up and still get good xp.
If you happen to do just one flourish, your xp will be cut in half. So just do two flourishes again to bring it back up to the max.
Now, that is all for getting xp only, not making a song sound great. Although you can make it great just by doing that. But often times you may want to flourish moreto make the song sound different.
Additional tip (is it?):
You do not get any xp with visual effects 
They're just musicians' magic 
Be careful! they consume your action pool badly!

Lol Modterrik! I thought i was the only one who couldn't handle their spice.
I was scaring off the customers more quickly than when I dance.
Actually, the two flourish per tick strategy is only optimal if you have unlimited action available, or if you can get healed.
There's probably another strategy for when you can't, but I'm too lazy to figure it out.
For example, since exp drops by about 2-3 points on every successive tick in which you don't play a flourish, you could play only 2 flourishesevery two ticks, and play twice as long for only about 100 exp less than if you had played 2 flourishes every tick. Thus, you don't have to rest as often, and get more exp in the long run.
However, it all depends on how long it takes you to rest, and so on, and I don't feel like figureing it out, especially since the optimum would be different for different players.
This is true Marjaliisa. I was just quoting the best wasy to get max xp per tick. Once they figure that out they will notice the action bar and have a better understanding how to balance everything out.
I am a wookiee, so I can usually play longer than most other species. Balance that out with smart play and I can go several hours without ever stopping or being healed.
