New professions

Seven brand new careers, none of them existing anywhere else in the game before

tonight: Firefighter, Veterinarian, Interior Designer, Locksmith, Personal

Trainer, Event Planner and Insurance Agent. Open the New Professions menu from

Village life, More to do, or type /newjobs. Each career also has its own

shortcut command: /fire, /vet, /arc, /lok, /fit, /evt, /ins.

Getting hired

Every career is free to join. Open its menu and choose Get hired: you receive

the career's uniform in your bag and your first rank. Wear the uniform any

time by using it from your bag; using it again takes it off.

Going on duty and finding work

Once hired, go on duty from the career's menu, then choose Find the next job.

If another player has posted a real request for that career, you take it.

If nobody has, you get a walk-in customer instead, so you are never stuck

waiting for other players to be online.

Posting a request

Any player, hired or not, can post a request for a career from that career's

menu (Post a request). A real worker of that career will pick it up and you

get a real result: a design theme for your home, a security upgrade, a spare

key, a training session, a party, an insurance policy, or a vet visit for

your pet. Firefighter calls work a little differently: use /reportfire to

report a fire at your own position, or you can simply be dispatched to one

of fifteen real trouble spots across the village and Palmera Bay.

Firefighter

Go on duty and Find the next job to be sent to a real reported fire or to one

of fifteen curated spots on the village and Palmera Bay maps. Some doors are

jammed: stand close and press shift and enter with your fire axe in your bag

first, then use your fire extinguisher to finish the call. Any player can

report a fire with /reportfire even without being hired. Items: fire_jacket,

fire_helmet, fire_axe, fire_extinguisher, fire_radio. Ranks: Trainee,

Firefighter, Senior Firefighter, Lieutenant, Captain, Fire Chief.

Veterinarian

Treats a real player's pet (posted with a short note) or a walk-in stray.

Listen to the symptom and pick one of three treatments: there is no wrong

answer that ruins your day, every patient leaves better than it arrived.

Items: vet_coat, vet_scanner, vet_medicine_kit, pet_carrier. Ranks: Trainee

Vet, Veterinarian, Senior Veterinarian, Clinic Lead, Chief Veterinarian.

Insurance agent

Sells a policy (Basic 30, Standard 50 or Premium 80 ln point premium). A

hidden chance is rolled when you buy it: if bad luck strikes, using your

certificate within 14 days refunds exactly your premium, never more. As an

agent, process real policies for a modest, capped wage. Items: agent_coat,

policy_ledger, agent_briefcase, safety_pin_badge, policy_certificate. Ranks:

Junior Agent, Agent, Senior Agent, Underwriter, Chief Underwriter.

Pay and ranks

Pay for on-duty work is small and capped per career per day. Experience never

resets and each promotion unlocks a new title you can wear from the titles

menu. None of this ever creates ln_credit.
