NEW JOBS: 24 NEW PROFESSIONS
Twenty-four brand new careers, none of them existing anywhere else in the
game: Search and Rescue Volunteer, Fish Farm Operator, Jeweler, Carpenter,
Clock Repairer, Mountain Guide, Archaeologist, Photographer, Club DJ, Fashion
Designer, Gardener, Cleaner, Security Guard, Marine Biologist, Meteorologist,
Radio Host, Referee, Translator, Real Estate Agent, Sculptor, Ambulance
Driver, Librarian, Toy Maker and Perfumer. Open the New Jobs menu from
Life plus (in the game menu) or type /morejobs. Each career also answers its
own shortcut command, e.g. /sar, /jew, /crp, /tra, /rea.
GETTING HIRED
Every career is free to join. Open its menu and choose Get hired: you get
the career's tool or uniform in your bag and your first rank (Trainee).
Using the item from your bag takes it out to hand.
GOING ON DUTY AND WORKING
Once hired, go on duty from the career's menu, then use "Find the next
job / do the work" (or the career's own special action, listed below). Most
careers post real customer requests to a shared board: anyone, hired or not,
can post one from the career's menu, and any on-duty worker of that career
picks up the oldest one waiting. If nobody has posted, you can usually still
practise solo for smaller experience.
RANKS AND PAY
Every career shares the same four-tier ladder: Trainee <career>, plain
<career>, Senior <career>, Master <career>, gained through experience from
completed jobs; each promotion is a real title you can wear from the titles
menu. Pay per job is small (6-14 ln point) and capped per career per player
per day. None of this ever creates ln_credit.
SEARCH AND RESCUE VOLUNTEER
Anyone can signal for help with /rescuecall or "Signal for help" in the menu (once
every ten minutes). Every on-duty volunteer hears it at once with the
caller's map. Go there yourself, then use "I found them" once you are within
a few steps of them to complete the rescue.
FISH FARM OPERATOR
Feed the farm, then come back roughly two hours later to collect a real
harvest of fish. No customer needed; this is your own small business.
JEWELER
Needs 1 rough gem on hand. Post or pick up a request for a gem cut (round,
oval, princess, emerald or brilliant); delivers a real cut gem to the client.
CARPENTER
Needs 3 wood on hand. Builds a custom furniture design (oak, pine, walnut,
birch or cedar) and unlocks a real home look for the client.
CLOCK REPAIRER
Repairs a customer's timepiece (pocket watch, wall clock, cuckoo clock,
mantel clock or wristwatch) and hands back a real repaired keepsake.
MOUNTAIN GUIDE
Leads a guided climb up a real route and unlocks a summit badge look for
the client.
ARCHAEOLOGIST
Digs, and about a third of the time turns up a real find (a relic) worth
sending to a client or keeping for the museum. Every dig counts towards
your day's work either way.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Needs your camera bag on hand. Shoots a real photograph (portrait, candid,
scenic, group or action) and delivers a keepsake photo to the client.
CLUB DJ
Play a set wherever people are gathered (within fifteen steps); pay scales
with how many people are actually listening. Once an hour each, listeners
get a small energy lift too.
FASHION DESIGNER
Designs a clothing collection (vintage, sport, glam, street or formal) and
unlocks a real look for the client.
GARDENER
Takes on a garden maintenance contract (rose, tulip, lavender, wildflower or
herb) and unlocks a real garden design look for the client.
CLEANER
Takes on a paid cleaning job (kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom or
whole house); the client gets a real energy top-up and a good feeling
about the place.
SECURITY GUARD
Anyone can request protection for an event, a home or anything else with a
short note; an on-duty guard picks it up and stands watch, with a small
energy top-up for the client.
MARINE BIOLOGIST
Logs a dive every twenty minutes, recording a real species sighting
(clownfish, sea turtle, reef shark and more) towards your own collection.
METEOROLOGIST
Puts out one forecast a day (clear or rain); players who turn on weather
news (New Jobs menu) hear it. Check your forecast later against the real
weather for a bonus if you called it right.
RADIO HOST
Anyone can tune in from the New Jobs menu. Go on air (once every ten
minutes) to type a short segment; every listener online hears it and pay
scales with the audience.
REFEREE
Picks two consenting nearby players and referees a fair friendly match
between them with a whistle and a coin-fair result. Purely for fun; no
points move between the players.
TRANSLATOR
Anyone can request help in a language from the New Jobs menu. An on-duty
translator picks it up and types the real translation or help themselves,
relayed straight to the requester.
REAL ESTATE AGENT
Lists a client's property (a short description and an asking price in ln
point) on the shared board. Any player can browse and buy a listing: the
seller is paid automatically, and the listing agent earns a 5% commission,
paid the moment it sells.
SCULPTOR
Carves a statue (village hero, local wildlife, an abstract form, the
village founder, or a favourite animal) for the public Town Gallery,
credited with your name; browsable by anyone from the New Jobs menu.
AMBULANCE DRIVER
Anyone can call an ambulance; an on-duty driver has to reach the caller in
person (same map, a few steps away) before treating them for a real energy
top-up.
LIBRARIAN
Anyone can borrow one of eight curated books; an on-duty librarian issues
it as a real keepsake book you can read from your bag.
TOY MAKER
Needs 1 wood on hand. Builds a handmade toy (wooden train, rag doll,
spinning top, puppet or toy boat) and delivers a real keepsake to the
client.
PERFUMER
Blends a real scent (rose, lavender, citrus, vanilla or pine) and delivers
a bottled perfume keepsake to the client.
