Musician Archive

I know, I know. Holocron professions stink and the people that get them don't necessarily want them, but I was told to master Musician last night after finishing Weaponsmith.

I don't hate musicians, I search them out on my main account (master rifleman/master doc) for the buffs and I pay very well for them. But after the clickfest of weaponsmith I do want to get through master musician quickly if possible.

I do intend to do AFK playing but only to an audience of my own (2 RL friends and my main account in one of our houses); NOT in a cantina because I don't care to do it that way.

I have a repeating macro setup for flourishes and enough pause time to regen action, but I am wondering about the viability of crafting my way through. It seems that getting 90exp every 17seconds or so would be a faster way to get basic musician exp than just playing/flourishing. Then I would need to have some massive mind wounds on my friends to get the healing exp.

Has anyone else used a combination of crafting/power playing to mind damage PC's to level up ? I am wanting to see if this would be the best path or just continuous playing with normal flourishes would be better.

With great respect for those who make this a chosen profession,

It's a grind
If your human my advice is to raise your action secondaries to at least 850 preferably 900.
that way you can nonstop flourish.
Once you have your stats like that, you burn no action while doing 2 flourishes every 2 ticks of xp.
I fiddled around with instrument making with my first musician and decided it wasnt a viable source of xp not to mention a waste of valuable resources.
If your going to afk/macro in a house for friends and your main your biggest problem will be the healing xp.Best place to get that will be in Theed, Coronet, Bestine. when your not afking.

Have a medic quick heal you to have ent healing XP. Some said you gain XP by buffing but I have no proof (cap XP long time ago)

Ahh, good information... As a Master Commando who's first Holocron told him Master Musician it's good to see support from those who enjoy this profession. Thanks for the tips guys.

The issue is going to be you still need that Entertainer Healing XP and grinding Musician XP via crafting does nothing to help you - so you will still spend time singingaway to get it.

With AFK'ing, your other issue will be apprenticeship points.

don't know if it is the quick heal or tend damage, but I've had that done for me to get entertainer healing xp and the is 5 points in total

i know that right now ur friends can go outside and survey for radioactive and get MASSIVE mind wounds. but on a side note to the survey ur friends will also take health and action wounds so find a novice medic or some one needing to grind in doc to heal every body up.

also u can have a combat medic do disease mind on u and ur friends and get ent heal xp. i know for a fact that both of these work.

good luck

If they're willing, have your friends get Novice Medic, if they don't already, and do /tenddamage on you. That'll keep you playing by keeping your Action pool going, and they'll take fatigue and mind wound damage.

An update to this thread :

I have been AFK macroing since I got the holocron and made it to 0-2-4(will train 4 tonight)-1.

I migrated stats to max Stamina and some into quickness so I can do 15 or so flourishes and pause for 15 sec to regen action quickly.

My plans for healing exp involve using a master rifleman (main character) to continually duel and kill my 2 RL friends (3 toons total) while they are naked to get massive mind wounds and have them listen to me to heal.

For app points : I have eng 4 from artisan (Master Weaponsmith on first holo)

1) Find someone with at least Engineering 3 so they can make personal harvesters

2) make sure they have one free skill tree in artisan (not surveying)

3) have them make personal harvs (about 12 needed in total with practice mode on) and train them as needed in the Domestic Arts or Business line.

4) have them surrender those skills you taught them and then make more personal harvs to build them up again, training as needed.

This method took me about 25 minutes to get enough app points to train Master WS. Takes a few resources but thats no biggie.

I have the utmost appreciation towards musicians and dancers who play the class as a chosen class, and I do sort of feel sorry for wanting to power through it as fast as I can, but it wasn't my choice.
