Musician Profession Overview
The Musician profession is a performance and support profession.
Musicians may inspire their audience members. When players watch a performer, the musician 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 playing an instrument with flourishes and inspiring others who watch your performance.
Where to Start
- Two columns from Entertainer: Musicianship IV and Entertainer Item Use IV (x4x4 Entertainer) are required.
- Find a Musician trainer in a Theater or Player City to learn Novice Musician. To gain experience you will need to play an instrument and perform flourishes (every 5-10 seconds is fastest). While it is not necessary to have an audience, having players /listen 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 playing music, 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 Music missions (click the MUSICIAN tab at the top) from a nearby Entertainer Mission Terminal.
