It’s no secret that several of us like playing music in the game. It was quite an expensive journey to 204, not to mention the cost associated with collecting the music along the way.
The current tip prices are way too low for the amount of effort invested in the skill and the benefit of the buff; what’s worse, if you play as a group of people, that minuscule number is split less!
Us bards want a pay raise. You want a luck boost awesome 50GP. Then I could at least make a living wage. Especially true after paying well over 20K for some music.
I’ll still stick with the idea i posted a week ago to simply just play the music afk style, meaning you have a drop down to play it by doing keys, or just play it to listen to.
I think the point is to make sure that people that are playing music have those keyboard skills. AFK style really detract from the skill? I would expect someone to be making it happen.
Regardless of this, a 10GP tip is measly compared to the cost and effort spent.
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,
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
