| Currently, there are 127 jobs in the game. All the jobs are sorted in groups of 3 to 6, depending on their type. For instance, the “mining jobs” – silver mining, Mine sulfur, Mine lead, Dig for rare gemstones, Mine saltpeter and prospecting are all found in the same work area. You can find a particular job by using the minimap.

| The above image shows a typical job page. The five pickaxes in the top left section of the page represent your labor points, showing how good you are in this particular job. The two large circles in the bottom represent ''danger'' and ''job motivation'' respectively. Above these circles you can click on ''Work Clothes'' button to display the best clothes for this job. The right side of the page shows the different times at which you can do the job – 15 seconds, 10 minutes and 1 hour. The rewards are shown in the horizontal bars. By order, they are experience, money, maximum value of a possible item drop and product drop rate.

| | | |finish text=Great job! There you can earn something every day. |
| Under the "start" button, beside the green hammer is the energy requirement which coincide with motivation consumed upon completion of that particular time slice. In addition, the distance to the job site is shown in the top-right corner of the page.

| Extra information may be extracted by hovering the mouse over particular elements on the job screen.

| ===Unlocking Jobs===
| |
| When you start out in the game, not all jobs are open for you to work at. To unlock a job you must fulfill either one of the two requirements:
| |
| * Achieve the required level
| |
| * Have the required labor points
| |
| For example, freeing slaves requires you to have 751 total labor points or for you to be level 99. To check how many labor points you are missing, hover over the job on the map and tool tip will display in red font the missing labor points.
| |
| | |
| In the early stages, some aspects of a job are locked. The 10 min and 1 hour work periods are unlocked at level 10 and 20 respectively.
| |
| | |
| ===Cancelling work=== | |
| It is always possible to cancel the work you are doing right now or jobs you have queued to be done later on. Just click on the X next to the job. The energy will be automatically refunded. If you cancel a job assignment while walking to the job site, you instantly jump back to the beginning point of your journey. If you cancel the 2nd job in your queue, the 3rd job is pushed forward. Cancelling a job in progress will not generate a report.
| |
| | |
| ==Labor points==
| |
| Every job has 5 skill slots, the job represented above – Picking berries, requires 2 x toughness, hiding and 2 x fine motoring skills.
| |
| | |
| [[File: RequiredSkillsForPickingBerries.png|left]] <br/><br/><br/>
| |
| | |
| The skill points you have in each slot are added up to give the total labor points you have in the job. They are represented by the pickaxes, which can take the form of three colors <br/>[[File: BronzePickaxe.png|Bronze]][[File: SilverPickaxe.png|Silver]][[File: GoldPickaxe.png|Gold]]
| |
| | |
| The green bar under the pickaxes represents the progress towards getting the next pickaxe. When you have all 5 at gold, the bar stays full. Hovering over this bar brings up a tool tip containing the total labor points you have for this job. To find out how many labor points a job requires, you should subtract the labor points shown in this tool tip and the labor points from the tool tip generated when hovering over the job icon on the map.
| |
| | |
| Example: [[File: LaborPointsToolTip1.png]] - [[File: LaborPointsToolTip2.png]] = 591 labor points required for ''Pick indigo''
| |
| | |
| To get to the silver level, you have to collect all 5 bronze axes. 5 silver pickaxes are needed to reach the golden level.
| |
| | |
| It must be noted that the pickaxes are simply a representation for how good you are in a job. The amount of cash, experience, maximum luck value and product drop rate are directly affected by labor points. This increase in rewards is great initially, especially while you do not have the required amount of labor points.
| |
| | |
| Here are a few cases where the pickaxes play a significant role:
| |
| | |
| *If you have bronze pickaxes, it means you’re relatively unqualified for the job at hand. The danger levels are typically high. As soon as you get the fifth bronze pickaxe, the danger goes down considerably.
| |
| *Five bronze pickaxes represent sufficient labor points for that job.
| |
| *Experience increases with additional labor points if you do not yet have 5 bronze pickaxes at which point it stops increasing and it represents the maximum experience for that job.
| |
| *Getting all five golden pickaxes in a job gives a bonus of 50% in finding the job product.
| |
| | |
| There are various ways of gaining extra labour points in a job
| |
| | |
| #Gear – click the ‘work clothes” button to find the best clothes in your inventory for the job. It is advisable to do research to find out about other pieces of clothing whichc an contribute to a greater increase in lp. You can either buy them in the stores, travelling merchant or procure them over the market. Also, there are set items which give extra skill points, some sets give you more labour points in certain jobs
| |
| | |
| #Allan Quatermain’s weapons – this comprises the Allan Quatermain’s adventure knife/revolver and rifle. Having two of the set equipped gives you a +100 labour point bonus in all jobs
| |
| | |
| #Work instructions – these can only be brought on the union pacific shop, under “buffs”. (all can be used

| ==Rewards==
| |
| ===[[File:Money.png]]Cash===
| |
| Currently, Jobs are the only known direct source of cash in the game – there are many ways of getting experience and bonds, but money only comes from jobs. All the 23 Billion dollars currently in player's accounts have come from jobs.
| |
| | |
| The money you will earn is accurately represented in the bars on the job page – you will earn nothing more, nothing less than the amount specified when you started the job. When motivation drops, the amount of money you can get also drops | |
| | |
| ===[[File:Xp.png]]Experience===
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Luck.png]]Luck===
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===[[File:Danger.png]]Danger===
| |
| For all jobs there is an element of danger. Irrespective of working time, the risk of getting hurt is constant. The level of danger in all jobs is calculated by the labour points you hold in the job.
| |
| | |
| This picture shows a low danger level – green with a 7% chance of getting hurt – meaning that your chances of injury are low, and if an injury happens, the damage is low. | |
| | |
| For this job, the labour points are lower – so, the danger is higher at 45%, at yellow
| |
| | |
| Here, the danger is at its’ maximum, red with a 99% chance of getting hurt
| |
| | |
| You get hurt, relative to your health points, so while a person with 2000 Hp can suffer a damage of 400 HP, a person with 14000 Hp can get a damage of 2800 HP. It all depends on the amount of labour points you have in the job
| |
| | |
| For the high end jobs, danger can be cut considerably, from 80% to 40% if you manage to collect all 5 bronze pickaxes. From then on, it will decrease gradually as you amass more lp in the job
| |
| | |
| ===[[File:Motivation.png]]Motivation===
| |
| | |
| Motivation affects the rewards you can get from work – the lower the motivation is, the less rewards you get – the rates of luck, cash and experience all go down. The only things which are unaffected is the danger and the chance of finding products.
| |
| | |
| In the picture here, the motivation is full – as seen by the four green circles. One circle is removed when the motivation drops bellow 75%. Then, the rewards drop. They will drop again when the motivation crosses 50%
| |
| | |
| #In a 15s job, motivation drops by 2%
| |
| #In a 10min job, motivation drops by 4%
| |
| #In a 1 hour job, motivation drops by 12%
| |
| | |
| With time, motivation does not replenish itself. At midnight motivation for all jobs is restored to 100%
| |
| | |
| There are certain buffs which can be used to restore motivation during the day | |
