  • Dancer Profession Overview​

    The Dancer profession is a performance and support profession.

    Dancers may inspire their audience members. When players watch a dancer perform, the dancer may offer an inspiration buff at any time, though most players prefer the full buff timer. Full buff timers can be achieved in cantinas, hotels, private homes, certain GCW areas and camps with an Entertainment Module. All Entertainers have the Inspiration ability, but can apply it more quickly with more skill and special equipment. Watching entertainers also grants rested bonus.

    Experience and skill are earned by dancing with flourishes and inspiring others who watch your performance.

    Where to Start​

    • Two columns from Entertainer: Dancing iV and Entertainer Item Use IV (xx44 Entertainer) are required.
    • Find a Dancer trainer in a Theater or Player City to learn Novice Dancer. To gain experience you will need to dance and perform flourishes (every 5-10 seconds is fastest). While it is not necessary to have an audience, having players /watch does speed experience gain. Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine usually has other entertainers willing to group up and train you (Novice boxes require NPC Trainer).
    • Once you start dancing, apply an Inspiration Experience buff (Utility: Flush with Success) to yourself or ask a master for a stronger buff.
    • For credits while gaining experience, consider picking up Dance missions from a nearby Entertainer Mission Terminal.
