Composing Songs

There are indispensable skills and a musical attribute for composing songs. Unfortunately, unless you maximize these 3 skills and one attribute, the songs you write cannot go beyond being the lower steps of your career.

• Musical Ability (the one in the attributes section, developed with experience points)
• Basic Poetry
• Basic Composing
• Specialized Composing Skill (Crowd-Pleasing, Catchy, Folk Song, etc. Choosing and developing one is enough.)

The skills are ready, but I have one last piece of information and warning for you about songwriting. With the change that was made, songs written by characters who have been with an artist for more than 56 days now receive a small extra score. Therefore, the value of songs you write in other bands or outside a band will be lower than those you write after staying in a band for more than 56 days. So I recommend making your artist plans before writing songs.

If the final checks are done and the force shields are active, we are starting. We open the songs section on our character page and click the “on a new song…” part. After writing the song name (please do not give songs original names such as unknown artist track 01, 02… from the old Winamp list :p), below we will choose, in order, the music genre in which we will write the song, its original type in accordance with the specialized composing skill we have developed, and its tempo. You do not need to learn a music genre’s skill to write a song in that genre. Tempos go from slow to fast, with Lento > slowest and Presto > fastest. I do not think tempos affect the quality of the song.

After making the necessary choices, we start our song by pressing the continue button. To work on it, we need to choose the composing music focus in the focuses section.

After spending around 10–12 updates working on our song, with its dominant instruments also added (or you can add them after spending updates on your song), you can tell that your song is complete from a diary message similar to “I no longer need to work on xx.” Working on it any further after this point certainly adds nothing to the song. Also, if you finish your song before its progress bars are 100%, you will experience a serious drop in quality proportional to the missing part. Neither less nor more: when the bars are 100%.

There are also strategies for writing songs other than spending updates. You can write a song from scratch with around 13–14 experience points. Its average quality will be so slightly lower than when you spend updates that it is not noticeable to the eye. You can use your surplus experience points this way later. You can also complete the part beyond 7–8 experience points with updates. In the reverse case, if you spend experience points on a song on which you have spent updates, you will receive half the increase you normally get, which means wasting the points.

If you use the song you composed on a single, an album, or at any concert, the song’s aging process begins. Your song loses 1% of its maximum effectiveness every year.
