Re: The Job Corps Thread

A few questions:

1 - So where does one go to visit the Job Corps?

2 - Can people do jobs that of a different level than what they are?  Could a lvl 6 character take a lvl 5 job, for example? Maybe they would get a slightly smaller reward, since it's an easier job for them?  Likewise, someone taking a job of a higher level than their character would get a bigger reward for going above and beyond the call of duty?

3 - What happens if a Lvl 1 character takes the rat quest, but doesn't finish it until he's lvl 3?

As for a new quest:
Job Title: Clothing Drive
Local tailors are getting started making warm clothes for the coming winter, and need animal furs to do so.
Level: 7
Requires: 10 Deer Skin, 10 Bear Skin, 10 Rabbit Pelt
Reward: 150 toxicity, item of clothing of your choice made from these pelts.

I think I've experienced this deja vu before...

1. Nicoma Park.
2. For now, I'm limiting job assignments to the player's level.
3. He holds the rat job until he either completes it, or pays a fee and grabs a different job.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

Hmmm...just realized that the gear needed for the Ferric Chef quest would take up pretty much your entire inventory.  Break it up into two quests.  One for the meat and wood, and one for the spices.  Make the reward for each part 40 bits and 125 toxicity.  Give the recipe after the meat one, but not the spice.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

You have to remember, what I've posted in this thread are Jobs, not Quests. Rewards are currently limited to toxicity, money, and items.

Now, I certainly could make a "normal" quest based on what you're describing.

Understood.  I'll try to follow those rules if I come up with any others in the future.  Feel free to smack me down again if I stray too far...

Re: The Job Corps Thread

Heh...there will be no smacking down by me. If it doesn't work for a Job, it may still work as a Quest. It's ideas, either way.

Something that just occurred to me:  Can you even get to Nicoma Park when you're level 1 or 2?

Heh...good point. No, you can't, so those probably ought to go...or the Corps gets moved.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

I'm level six so l've never been able to try out the job coprs thing, but l like the concept...could something be done so that you could do the low level ones if you don't have any others available?

Re: The Job Corps Thread

There just needs to be some more jobs available...is there nothing for level 6?

Nothing for level 6 or 7, which is why the two"quests" I suggested were for leves 6 and 7.  Neither of those levels had an available quest in your original list.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

A job can only require one type of item. But I can do something similar for a job, and I'd still like to do yours as a regular quest.

Also, level 7 already has a job available.

I've added a couple of jobs for level 6.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

I guess my character missed the level 6 ones...  Now that you mention it, I think the level 7 was the

Spoiler:

20 Bear Pelts in return for a Bearskin cloak

which is why my characters spent so much time in the Hunting Grounds!!

Any ideas for quests for higher level characters?  I didn't realize that a job could only require one type of item...or I would have put the Ferric Chef into the Quest forum.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

Can we get the option to accept jobs? l am on the 20 stim shots one and l tried buying my way out of it and l just got the same one again...seems like that shouldn't happen

17

Re: The Job Corps Thread

It just selects one at random, and at this point a lot of levels only have one job available.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

It works really well if you have lost and lots of stim shots!  I think one of my characters got about 80% of their tox for 8th level by continually handing in Frag grenades...

The best solution is more jobs at every level. I'm still taking suggestions. smile

Re: The Job Corps Thread

Most of the stuff I've thought of are more quest-type stuff than Jobs.

Would it be possible to have something like the construction sites in MFON 1, where the Job corps would give you a shovel (or some other random tool) and tell you to start digging in (spot where new map will open soon) to help with the construction of a new road?  After X actions spent, you go back to the job corps and get some ox, money and/or items.  Of course, there's also a chance that you might find some buried loot at the dig site...

Re: The Job Corps Thread

Could be, but I'd want to fit it into the game like we did in 1.0. Maybe something involving the railroad could be worked out.

Re: The Job Corps Thread

I think that the jobs should be available to levels higher than the required level. It's just cos the jobs corp didn't come in until I was level 9+ and I never got to do any of them sad
