OverviewDancers and Musicians are able to perform in order to entertain and provide valuable services to their patrons. These services include the ability to give Mind buff enhancements, heal mind wounds, and heal battle fatigue.
Where can Entertainers practice their art?All Entertainer skills can be used anywhere in the galaxy, but the performance-based Entertainers cannot benefit their customers everywhere. You can heal Battle Fatigue, Mind Wounds and when you're an elite performer (at least Novice Musician or Dancer) you can administer Mind Enhancements (buffs) in:
Note on Camps: You can only heal Mind Wounds or administer Mind Enhancements (buffs) in scout or ranger camps. You cannot heal Battle Fatigue in one.
HealingBelow, the chart lists many of the base values for experience and wound heals per tick.
Additional Commentary and NotesCan entertainers listen to other entertainers while grouped and playing? No, they cant listen/watch to other entertainers while playing due to client command table restriction. However they can stop performing and listen/watch an entertainer in group, then begin performing again (while remaining watching/listening). This does not seem to be a bug. This allows for entertainers to heal other entertainers in the same group.
Instrument Crafting and UseInstrument crafting: 1. Instruments can only be created by musicians (artisans do not receive the schematics). 2. All the instruments up to and including Fanfar can be crafted using the generic crafting tool. Beyond that, you must use the specialized "Weapon, Droid, Item" crafting tool. 3. Instruments do not decay. 4. As far as has been determined, using experimentation points on the instrument quality does nothing for either the xp the player gains, or the rate of healing of the listener. 5. Instrument Crafting yields Music experience.
Instrument Use All instruments with the exception of two (the nalargon and omni box) are simply equippable from the inventory. Nalargons and omni boxes must be dropped outside of the inventory and into the world to be used. Once done, the player may use a play instrument radial on the object and will get their song selection list. The player must also keep the nalargon and omni box targeted at all times in order to continue using them. If they change targets then they stop performing. (this behavior existed during pre-cu as well). After the player is finished they may pack up the instrument by clicking the pick up radial or they may move past 5 meters from the object and it will automatically pack up back into their inventory. When placing these instruments, the instrument will face in whatever direction the player is facing in.
