So what’s the final verdict (or is there one) when you /setperform on someone is it 5 min or 10min to give a 2hr buff? Also is the group passive buff 10min and last 2hrs? I am hearing conflicting statements from my customers.

10 mins with /setperform and 20 mins in group is what I'm seeing consistently, and I sell buffs in theed all day long for tips.

I have 2 accounts and smart friends and I'm still not seeing consistency. My 2nd account is a Master Musician and when I buff mymyself for 6 minutes with /setperform it sometimes lasts only just over 1 hr, while I've also gotten 2 hr buffs. It's the same with my friends. Maybe there's something I"m missing but I use the same flourish macro each time.

I made more money the day that i start using the musican mind buff then i get in a normal playing mode. i still learning how it work but i am enjoying my proffession.

Dumb question but you can buff yourself right?

No, can't buff yourself. But I like that fact. It will stop all the Riflemen now going musican/dancer

those poor riflemen..they would love the +melee defense though

I am really upset with how vague our buff is. It has taken me quite a lot of work to realize how it even works... and the fact that if you have any buff on you when you recieve our buff our buff makes your character unplayable as soon as our buff wears off... don't think you'll be getting far with focus/will at 150 now are you?

thus, with that problem in there... my final analysis is, it doesn't matter how long our buff lasts, cuz your buff is murder to your character. It means I have to sell the focus/will buff then the mind buff, or else I get some royally pissed off customers.

Monkeyboy3DX: I don't see entirely consistent results either, but I think the devs have said that your flourish rate (and possibly song or instrument choice) influence the efficiency of the buff. Personally, I play it safe and err on the side of a longer performance: /setperform for 10 minutes and the passive buff for 20 minutes. Each seems to produce about a two-hour buff, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.

Zechs-Marquise: The devs are aware that many players would like a self-buff. I'm hopeful that we will get one eventually,and I'll keep you postedif I hear anything one way or the other.A related issue, also under discussion,is whetherthere should be mind heals, and if so which professionsshould confer them.

DreadDuur:I also hope the devs fix the stat bug soon. It's very annoying. It affects me not only in my day job as Musician, but also in my evening work as a Carbineer, sinceI rely heavily on food buffs to shoot. The devs have said they're working on it, andI andseveral other Correspondents pester them about it regularly. I pestered most recently just two days ago.

Yea Ive noticed Instruments and even songs played affect it.
I flourish non-stop on every song,sometimes it takes people longer depending on the song and instrument.Im seeing people who die with the buff on have to wait for the timer to get another buff.

Are buffs working properly again ? I've been on 2nd account doing weaponsmithing (dang holocrons) and haven't used my rifleman. Last I tried they either didn't work or bugged my stats.

bugged stats hasnt been fixed yet
