There are 7 stats that affect the entertainer professions:

Wound Healing (Dancing)
Wound Healing (Music)
Battle Fatigue Healing (Dancing)
Battle Fatigue Healing (Music)
Dancing Mind Enhancement
Music Mind Enhancement
Instrument Assembly

Of those 7, only the first two can be obtained via BE-enhanced clothing. Those two stats will be in any entertainer BE clothing item you purchase. A +25 Wound Healing (Dancing)/+25 Wound Healing (Music) clothing item can be had for as little as 10k off of various vendors on Eclipse. Depending on the clothing item and the number of tissues needed to make it (some will be "waste" tissues), this can go up quiet a bit. About the most expensive thing waste wise are the Grand Twi'lek Headpiece and the Twi'lek Ys'rak Headpiece.

The other 5 stats can only be augmented via skill tapes. Most are fairly inexpensive, with the exception of the mind enhancement skill tapes. Those can go for millions, and the price of them on Eclipse has gone up of late as more and more combat blokes start their own personal buff-bot... You can also find Wound Healing skill tapes, but those are pointless since you can get +25 already and much cheaper in BE clothing.

You forgot music and dance knowledge. Though I don't think I've seen a skill tape for either. (I'd so be all over one for dance knowledge, don't think music knowledge effects anything though.)

I'll add a few things here.. Firstly, 10k is a good deal. Sometimes I can't even find tissue for that cheap, and enhanced myoflex is usually special order. 5k per tissue (And believe me, with how hard to obtain the components are, I fully understand the price) and 2 are needed MINIMUM for an enhanced item. Market price I've heard often on enhanced clothes, and what I sell mine for (I think I'm ripping people off, but nobody even bats an eyelash at it) is the enhancement of the tissue multiplied by how many tissue are used. So to get +25 hotpants, 2 tissue are needed of at least +13, so 26k. A grand healers robe, grand twi'lek headpiece, or leather trim shirt for example (The only shirt that can be enhanced with two myoflex that men can wear) all use 6 tissue, so would cost minimum 78k, up to 90k.

However you can save some money. The most skill enhancement you can get off clothes is +25. So one article of clothes will do it. Or you could save money and get two with only one tissue each and still get your +25. In this case it will show up as more in your stats, but only the first 25 count.

For non-combat tissue (taming wild/vicious creatures, injury/wound treatment, dancer/musician wound healing) you can get the following articles of clothes enhanced. There are some things such as dresses and bodysuits that can be enhanced as well that cover more than one spot. These are just the single spot items.

Pants: 2 tissue slots, smallest item is 2
Shirt: 2 tissue slots, smallest item is 5 (women) or 6 (men)
Hat: 2 tissue slots, smallest item is 2 (Human, wookie) or ? (Twi'lek, don't recall off the top of my head.)
Vest/Jacket: 1 tissue slot, smallest item is 1*
* Actually the grand healer's robe counts as a jacket and doesn't cover any other enhanced clothing slots, so can be worn with everything else. It has 2 slots but uses 6 tissue.

So theoretically you could get +100. In fact, I've made +100 suits for people before. (Cost, around 300-350k.) But it's still effectively only +25.

You can probably find better deals if you look hard enough. I only do enhanced clothing as a side thing by special order, since people are always saying how hard it is to find a tailor that does enhanced clothing. I like to specialize in fashionable clothing, and leave the functional stuff to someone else.

Now, speaking as an entertainer, enhanced myoflex (Entertainer +wound healing tissue) just doesn't seem worth it to me. Only reason I even own a pair of +25 hotpants is because I had the tissue laying around and was making a vessel for SEAs, so figured I might as well enhance it too. When I'm healing someone in the cantina, the mind wounds usually go real quick, and the BF can take a while to heal. So healing mind wounds faster doesn't really help. In the field it may be useful, however. I'd love to see it changed to BF healing or mind enhancement. Doctor's tissue (Despite being called injury/wound treatment) already helps with their buffs, and the rest of the tissues all provide useful bonuses.

Anyway, if you still want to get some entertainer's clothing, you're looking for clothes made with enhanced myoflex. The medic stuff is made with active biosensors. The entertainer clothes will list in the item stats (Either just above or just below the serial number, I forget which)
Wound healing (Music): +15
Wound healing (Dance): +12
Note that the numbers may not be the same. You could even have +25/+12 or something similar. It all depends on how many tissue are used, and the BE's experimentation when making the tissue. Finally, save yourself some money and don't go for anything over +25 unless you're just looking for a more diverse wardrobe of enhanced clothing to select from.

You can get a Wookie Sage's Hood made maxxed out on both Injury Treatment/Wound Treatment AND Wound Healing (Dance) & (Music). That way if you have Novice Medic along with your Entertainer skills, you have one item of clothing that's adding to both. Might take some doing to find a Tailor who knows enough to do it and has the bio tissues, but it's possible.

---

If I recall, you can even throw in some taming vicious/wild creature in there as well. The sage's hood is the only item that has 5 slots. And to make it even better, they all use only 1 tissue.

Of course, the rest of the wookiee clothes is laking in slots, and there is only one thing that can take battle related tissues. (A shoulderpad.)

I should have clarified -- only 7 stats that can be added to via bonuses, be the bonus from BE or from skill tapes.I have never heard of Dancing Knowledge or Music Knowledge skilltapes. And I always assumed these were faux skill attributes, anyway, that were just another way to indicate which dances/songs you know. I suppose maybe Dancing Knowledge could be a modifier on how often you fall when dancing without holding a weapon. But it seems to me with no weapon equipped, I fall about as often as a Novice Entertainer that doesn't even have Dancing 1 yet. But then that's been hashed to death already on the dancer forums -- Master Dancers should NOT fall every 3rd step...

As to BE-enhanced clothing prices, this is obviously server dependant. And I know some of what goes into making the tissues, as I have some BE friends. How or why people have set their prices as they have, I don't know. But for the simple, 2 tissue non-stacked BE items, I know vendors that sell them for around 10k. On the other hand, a Grand Twi'lek Headpiece with 2 SC stacks enhanced myoflex and 1 SC stack active biosensers (9 tissues total) goes for around 100k.

You are also correct about BF taking much longer to heal. I have some BF healing skill tapes, but have never done any real systematic tests to see how much a difference they make. As a gross generalization based on what people have told me their BF is when they come in and say "I've got a TON of BF!", I heal roughly 500BF in about 3 minutes while dancing. (I do dance buffs before music buffs since it gives a 3 minute warning as to when the really important buff is going to run out, and in the time it takes to do the dance buff, their BF is gone.) And I only have a +6 BF healing (dance) skill tape, putting me at +21 when you include the Twi'lek species bonus. (BF Healing (Music) seems more common on Eclipse -- I have +25 to that in skill tapes.)

I really wish we knew what the forumulais for BF healing skill to time taken to heal BF... (And yes, I realize it does include a random component.)
