## Profession Overview

Entertainer is one of the Starting Professions that branches off into a handful of unique elite professions. Those who wish to interact with a large portion of the player base and have a penchant for performing should consider starting as an Entertainer.

This profession requires 77 skill points to master.

XP Requirements to Master:

* 31,000 Image Design XP (granted by performing Image Designs)
* 66,000 Musicianship XP (granted by playing music w/flourishes)
* 66,000 Dancing XP (granted by dancing w/flourishes)
* 41,000 Entertainer XP (having players watch/listen to you)

## Base Skills Overview

Entertainers inspire their audience members. When players listen to or watch an Entertainer, they accrue a buff duration. The Entertainer can then grant a customized buff that the player requests. There are several values that can be buffed such as a bonus to combat experience, faction points, and crafting success. All Entertainers have this ability, but can apply it more persistently with more skill.

The basic Entertainer profession compromises different skill sets, three leading to an elite profession, with one as support.

### Image Design

An Image Design is a character-modification ability that provides avatar modifications (including hair, skin, eyes, etc). If a character chooses to advance to full-fledged Image Designer they will have a wealth of abilities open to them in avatar modification.

### Dancing

Entertainers with Dancing skills learn fluid dancing abilities and are able to mesmerize their audience with their movements. Characters who advance to a full Dancer profession will find a whole world of dance and other visual delights.

### Musicianship

Where Dancers captivate your eyes, the Musicians will be a treat for your ears. Entertainers with Musician skills will be able to construct and play basic instruments and learn new songs. Taking it a step further to Musician will enable the character to play large exciting instrument such as the Nalargon.

### Entertainer Item Use

This skill works with both Dancing and Music in that it enhances the Entertainer's ability to inspire their audience using more advanced instruments or fancier props. Advancing as far as possible in these skills is almost a requirement for those who wish to help as well as entertain.

## Entertainer Buffs

Entertainer Buffs boost a player's attributes or give him/her special abilities for a certain amount of time. To receive a Buff a player must watch or listen to the Entertainer by selecting the watch or listen option from the Radial Menu. You will begin to build up a buff duration - the longer you watch/listen, the more time fragments you'll get, which may add up to 5 hours and a half. You can ask for your Buffs whenever you want, though. An Entertainer with points in the Artiste Expertise may have a maximum of **20 Points** to spend on your Buffs.
