Music is a useless skill to the vast preponderance of players. A faction buff? Garhering buff? You’re lucky to get 10 bucks.

The power of PVP compels you!
Just like we need hippos, we need a pay raise

Acoustic folk musicians having spare change thrown at them as townsfolk generally ignore their work is one of the most realistic and immersive parts of new world. If you all started making real gold it would be too farfetched for even the most high fantasy mmos.

The only difference is the buff in the game is more than just music. It gives the player an advantage. I liken it to purchasing infused potions, or other items on the market, So it really should be relative and commensurate with the performer.
However; people will abuse it, so something that feels good baseline is 50GP,
Can always ask players to trade you the coin before you play.
It’s still optional if they want to tip. That is a possible solution but seems like this could be automatic.
The tip should be commensurate to the skill level and star rating.
Example: Novice 1 star 10 gold. Expert 5 star 100 gold.
That would be a more fair system.
I think there should be a sliding scale. I don’t like hearing you break strings. sorry

I agree with both of you, On the mastery level bonus for playing.
Would love some of that gold piece bump:)
I’m fine with letting players just choose their own tip amount, if I can also turn off the tip screen in the middle of my screen.
would be great ! 10g doesn’t do much it event wont tickle for the prices that some instruments are ! 50 g ? id say minimum 100g or give people choice 50g, 100g and maybe 200g

It’s back yes, give us that raise!
I agree and as a bard, I wish that people could have the option to vote for the songs that I pick, how well I play, and my various performing outfits via slide scale tip!

This may be the single important thing in the entire new world universe!

Like real life… the tip should be entirely optional and customizable. That said, the musician should be able to configure a concert fee before they play where that is the default required amount of gold to be paid to acquire whatever buff they are offering from having played the music.
I sometimes feel if it’s not PVP mechanics, related its hard tog et a response on here. THis should be a relatively easy adjustment to make.
