Thread: This is INSANE!!!! I am so doing something wrong.
No offense, but I want to hurry you through the profession as quickly as possible.
Here are my suggestions--first of all, forget about your dancing macros. They won't work because they are based on max xp for 1 flo every 10 seconds. For the maximum music xp you need to flo 2x every 10 seconds. If you are in a huge group, and have lots of people watching (probably on Dathomir or in Coronet) then you should be raking in the xp like nothing else. Since you are already a master dancer, I would say YES, you should go ahead and grind through the healing xp by dancing, it will come much faster for you that way.
Also, make sure you're using either your highest-level instrumentOR your best song.

I am doing the same thing. To craft ALL the Music XP is VERY expensive, so you may wnat to mix it up--do a little crafting when you are at your PC, AFK music playing when you are gone, etc.
Anyway, here's the list--I think this is accurate, but with calculations like this and having done it while I was at work and rushing I may have made a mistake, so don't shoot me:
MUSICIAN:
Novice Entertainer to Novice Musician (114000XP needed)<--this one may be off cause I calculated based in what I had left and I think I had 2000 XP already:
Slitherhorn: 45 Metal=90XP each
1267 needed=57K Metal (get whatever's cheapest)
Novice Musician to Music Tech 2 (212500XP needed):
Fanfar:55 Metal-110XP each
1932 needed=107K Metal (cheapest)
Music Tech 2 to Music Tech 3 (175000XP needed):
Traz:45 Non-ferrous metal (Aluminum)
1458 needed=66K non-ferrous (Aluminum)
15 Metal (cheapest) =22K Metal (cheapest)
Music Tech 3 to Music Tech 4 (225000XP needed):
Bandfill:50 Ferrous metal (Steel)
1500 needed=75K Ferrous metal (Steel or Iron)
25 Aluminum =38K Aluminum
Music Tech 4 to Master (612500XP needed):
Nalargon:150 Ferrous metal (Steel)
1361 needed=205K Ferrous metal (Steel or Iron)
75 Aluminum =102K Aluminum
TOTALS:
186K Metal (cheapest)
66K Non-ferrous (Aluminum or Copper)
280K Ferrous (Steel or Iron)
140K Aluminum
TOTAL RESOURCES (ALL):
672K @ 3cpu= 2,016,000
@ 2cpu= 1,344,000
If you want to do Musician the cheap way:
Make sure you have the latest instrument (the higher level instruments give you higher xp). I just finished it this way and have 450k extra healing xp so I wouldnt bother using dancer to gain healing xp.
If you want to do musician the quick way:
Use dancer to grind out your healing xp, then craft-grind slitherhorns until you are master. Slitherhorns take 45 metal and give 93xp. If you run a loop of 4-6 crafting tools you should be done in no time. In hind sight I am VERY sorry I did not utilize this method myself musician was the longest of all of my 15 grinds so far.
