Every job hinges on Constitution.
That is not unique to dancing.
Because one busy night can run the risk of taking her out of service for several.
Auto-rest scanner?
The reason for Dancer is entirely due to testing various jobs for how much you get paid in practice. Dancer was already high income in practice, likely because it's very easy to max all used stats and keep them there. I don't feel like digging through code to check exact modifiers.
How did you test it? Because if you tested only one girl, that's obviously going to be skewed. The 'all used stats' for dancers are Body, Libido and Refinement, and I
seriously doubt these are easier to max and maintain than e.g. waitress's Charm, Constitution and Body.
Anything else is also skewed at least a little in a waitress's favour: greater chance to have a customer that likes blowjobs instead of anal, commoners are probably a better clientele than sailors, etc.
...all without spending 10+ energy per working event.
Whoring has its boosts, although now that I look at it, the bonuses have been nerfed
a lot. But the question is, did you try it with a chapter 3 or 4 girl? Because whoring is supposed to come online later than jobs.
Also, did you try to make a whoring-focused slave, or did you just look at your dancing specialist not making as much money and wrote it off? Because obviously a specialist is going to be worse at another activity.
If she can turn 20 energy into 1k+ dancing, any extra work she takes on the side from customer requests will just be icing on the cake, and won't drain her energy so fast that she needs many days off.
The energy situation might reverse itself with bathtubs and especially Rejuvenation (or somewhat with Summon Phoenix). And how much
exactly she makes via dancing doesn't matter, because comparing jobs is all about ratios, and whoring has higher multipliers, group sex for ~25% energy efficiency boost at the price of some score penalties, the 'Focus', 'Business&Pleasure', 'Me So Horny' perks and more.
'Days off' is not a useful metric for anything except how much re-scheduling you need. What's important is how much money she makes
per energy point spent. Well, until you have something that trivialises energy, like Rejuvenation. Then it's all about just cash per night.
Customer requests are essentially mini-whoring and cost as much energy, so these are actually counterproductive if dancing is the focus.
And in chapter 1, 2, 3, and even 4, the Okiya hasn't been a significant winner in my experience, possibly because the available customers would far rather have dancers, waitresses, or masseuses, which seem to be easy wins regardless what part of the city.
Chapter 4 gives you bourgeois, who are into geisha and sex. By then you also have the furniture to nudge preferences somewhat.
The real issue is probably that Refinement is harder to raise early on. Or maybe something else.
I'm not asking all this because I want to put you down or anything. But Goldo is really not testing balance very thoroughly, what with his RL situation not allowing him to play the game much. And he's been too much on a nerfing roll for my taste lately.
Whoring and group sex used to be more powerful. Now, the job-boosting may have been too much in recent versions.
And I'm almost physically unable to play any incarnation of vanilla for an extended period any more...
Does anyone else find jobs better than whores by using 'Elite'?
