Musician Archive

Can someone help me out....im a little lost on building macros so i need someone to email me a macro that can help me grind up musician...it would be greatly appreciated.

depends on what kind of macro you need:

playing music drains your action, so most people go for the two macros/30 seconds approach.

if you don't want to drain your action, this is the macro for you:

make this macro on F1 [toolbarSlot00]

/flo 1

/flo 2

/pause 30

/ui action toolbarSlot00

----

This macro will allow you to indefinitely play music.

If you are not worried about action drain (IE: you are stamina buffed, spice that increases stamina, or food that increases stamina), this is the macro for you:

put this macro in F1 [toolbarSlot00]

/flo 1

/pause 5

/flo 2

/pause 5

/flo 3

/pause 5

/flo 4

(etc. etc.)

/ui action toolbarSlot00

---

note that the F1 slot is toolbarSlot00, and F2 is toolbarSlot01, etc.

and i'm not emailing you because mainly we don't know your IG name.

First, make sure ya have some skills in medic. I used this one to master musician and it took roughly a week, so not bad.

/startmusic (song);

/flourish 1;

/pause 7;

/tenddamage self;

/flourish 2;

/pause 10;

/ui action toolbarSlot00;

There you have it. Just put it in the top left toolbar slot and your set.

I don't think you can do anything else (like tending damage) but emote and chat when you are skill animating (playing music). and ya, u g2 be novice medic.

with the /healdamage macro it is actually quite smart, the macro is short, so you cycle through the flourish's i would extend the pauses to 12 seconds myself, but having it in the middle like that, with a /startmusic (song), at the top, if you run out of action, you stop anyways, by then the /healdamage will work, and the macro starts up again on its own. easy, simple nice.

Here is a macro I wish more people would use.. Name it Silence

/pausemusic;
/pause 2;
/macro Silence

Doesn't interfere with your xp gain, doesn't cost any action, it just makes you not play any music most the time, so you don't add to the noise.

Is this really the kindof threads we should be having. I would hope that this thead be sealed and deleted see as to the fact that it is directly against the member agreement.

I don't think it's the kind of threads we should be having, no. Sadly, it's what the profession has become. (Well, a more verbose description of what I think the profession has become was posted on the entertainer forum.)

The best xp is for being AT THE KEYBOARD. You don't get kicked out of groups, you can actually perform and get people to watch you...

And when they master and move onto something else, two more will replace them.

Well, look at it this way...

The AFK macro-ing holo-grinders have absolutely no interest in role-playing their character as a musician. The second they master music they'll pop their next holo and drop the profession, and then they'll be gone. Making the music/dance professions harder or take longer to master just means that the hologrinder will be sitting in your favorite cantina that much longer, roboticly dancing and playing, not interacting with anyone. I would think that in the interest of getting rid of these people as fast as possible you'd want them to discover some ultra mega XP macro that lets them master the profession in as short of a time as possible and then get out of the "real" entertainer's way.

Just a thought.
