Boost bar fills as you do shows etc. and when it's full it changes to 'RELEASE BOOST' where you have three options:archibalduk wrote:Oh, what does the Power Boost bar mean (it's on my Artist Profile)? It's the white lightning bar.
Boost your repertoire to 100% for every song you have selected with a check mark at the time your release your boost (make sure you have all your songs checked first!!) and then they will begin to go down again just like normal. Advantage being it's your whole rep and to 100% which you'd need everyone in the band to have 5* in your genre skill to get otherwise.
Boost your SQ: A fixed number of Star Quality points to be divided up amongst the band, this is however temporary. Advantage: for a soloist or duo you could get your SQ over 50 to use a stage name much earlier.
Boost your potential ratings for a few shows: Allows you to perform at a higher level than usual, allowing you to get a better rating for a big show. Advantage: Mainly for use if you have a Competition you have a shot at winning and that one or two levels of improvement might seal it for you.
So, early on I suggest that people use the repertoire boost as it saves you a lot of jam time and money from those jams and also lets you reach practice levels that might be impossible for you to reach otherwise. Solo artists might want to use their SQ boost if they get to like 25% Star Quality if they are dying to have a stage name. I'm not sure how useful the ratings for shows boost will be for most bands really.
