STRENGTH:

Strength is a passive skill that enhances ambiently as you carry more heavy weights like lifting animal carcasses or doing strenuos activities like mining and lumberjacking. The more you lift and exercise, the stronger you become, allowing you to increase your skill giving you access to more inventory space. Fancy yourself a strongman? Lift those weights!

ALCHEMY

If your character finds the works of elixirs, remedies, and chemistry appealing, you might consider alchemy as a strong trade to pursue. You will need help from herb gatherers to utilize nature's healing plants.

Gunsmiths will seek you out for your knowledge of gunpowder as they will need it to make bullets. Use your skills to become a pharmacist, snake oil salesman, gunpowder manufacturer, or a provider of love potions!

BLACKSMITHING

Folks of the forge! The time you spend away pounding metals with scorching heat and sweat allows you to craft some wonderous items out of metal. Manipulate and refine precious ores and minerals like gold and silver. In return, earn yourself a pretty penny with your craftmanship.

You and the miners will have a prosperous relationship. Gunsmiths will need your ingots, and fletchers will need arrowheads.

BREWING

Ale's well that ends well! Your brewing journey will start with you crafting all the necessary ingredients. As you progress you will be able to craft tequila, whiskey, and rum. Bottles of alcohol can either be consumed or poured into shots.

As a brewer, you can make a deal with nearby saloon owner or perhaps make a specialty brand and corner the market! You can craft brewing related items at brewing stations marked on the map.

COOKING

Your food is what makes people’s tummies happy. Whose recipes are you using?! Cook many food recipe for the benefit of yourself and others. You can supply a saloon with delicious food, open up a traveling restaurant, or be your gang's camp cook.

Work with hunters for meat and animal fat, herb gatherers for those delicious spices, and ranches for those eggs, potatoes, and prairie oysters. You can cook the basics at a camp fire of cauldron, but to make the specialty foods, you'll need to find a kitchen.

FLETCHING

We see you whittling away over there. With your precision wood-fiddling skill, you can craft some interesting materials with wood like various arrows and bows. Supply a gun store with your crafted wares, and provide your camp with improved bows for easier hunting.

Make your crafts at woodworking tables on the map, and collaborate with lumberjacks and blacksmiths for the wood for arrow shafts and metal for arrow heads.

GUNSMITHING

Bullets can be the great equalizer in the frontier. As you progress through your gunsmithing journey, you will be able to craft various bullet types.

Work with miners, blacksmiths, and alchemists to get the tools needed. Perhaps you can partner with a gun store owner and be their supplier or help your gang stay in the fight. You can craft ammo at the various crafting tables at gun stores.

LEATHERWORKING

The only thing tougher than leather is a seasoned cowboy, neither of which is vegan I reckon. As you progress through your leatherworking journey, you will be able to tan and cure hides as well as craft leather strips and hide blankets.

Work with hunters to get only the finest pelts! Outfitters will need your skills to craft various items. You could use your skills in an artistic fashion to be a tailor and provide individuals with blankets or taxidermy or work for a cattle ranch and supply leather strips! You can cure and tan pelts near butcher stations marked with specific icons on the map. There are two different crafting stations for both curing and tanning.

OUTFITTING

Who needs a fancy bed when you can sleep under the stars? You will start your journey using the land around you finding kindling, stones, and animal fat to craft torches and campfires. Cooperating with blacksmiths, leatherworkers, and lumberjacks, you will be able to craft bedrolls, various tents, various hitching posts, and more. Outfit your posse so that you can be the nomadic cowboy you were meant to be.

PLACING CRAFTED PROPS:

PROMPTS:

• “PLACE ON GROUND” - snaps the prop to ground level
• “CHANGE MODE” - allows you to change the axis. The first image is how you move it up, down, left, and right. The second image is how you rotate it.
• “PLACE” - places the prop into the world
• “CANCEL PLACEMENT” - Cancels the placement entirely

GENERAL PRACTICE:

• Clicking & holding on the arrows and dragging will move the prop in that direction
• Clicking & holding on the different curved lines will rotate the prop in that direction

TINKERING

Knickknacks and gizmos, the tools you are able to meld and craft will serve a purpose for many tradesfolk out there. Though many may seek your help, you will need some help from fletchers, lumberjacks, and blacksmiths to make these tools. Put on those work gloves, its time to get crafty!

HERB HARVESTING

A proficient forager or perhaps just farmer with a green thumb? You can tell which plants to eat, and which plants give you an upset stomach. Use your keen eye to spot and harvest various herbs and plants. As you progress, you will be able to harvest more plants at a time.

You might take an interest in this skill if you are in search of herbs to make your food taste good, or make interesting remedies and medicines. Many alchemists and cooks across the state would love your skills to help spice and flavor things up.

GOLD PANNING

Finding gold can truly change your life! Anyone with the dream of striking it rich can pursue this interest. But remember, it takes tremendous determination to venture into those rivers, endure isolation, and spend countless time sifting through sediment to chase your dreams. Consider teaming up with a friend, but be wary: they might stab you in the back if they find precious metal in your pocket!

Work closely with blacksmiths to smelt gold into ingots. Perhaps you can be the gold tycoon of the West!

HORSE TAMING

Concussions are your friend, but breaking a good horse can get you a pretty penny in your pocket or a good companion in the future of your story. Do you think you have what it takes to wrangle some horses? Show us what you got Big Shot!

Collaborate with ranches and town stables, catch some livestock auctions. All that work to break a horse might come in handy with a big sell.

LUMBERJACKING

Throw on that flannel, roll up those sleeves, its time to chop wood! If the smell of cedar and tree wax entices you, or even just determined to cut down the tall giants of the world (we’re talking trees!), the trade of lumber might be appealing work for yourself. Grab yourself an axe and make your way to some lumber camps.

Work with fletchers, outfitters, or carpenters of the states and fetch yourself a consistent pay day!

MINING

Pull up that bandana, and get the dynamite ready, you don't want to catch that black lung on the job. Or chronic back pain in your mid-twenties. Actually, lets be honest you probably already have that. Keep hitting them rocks and reveal the treasures that hide deep in the mines.

Your work will be valued by gunsmiths and blacksmiths who will need those precious ores you find. Was that a bat or a ghost I just heard?

FIELD DRESSING

Shhh, be very quite, we're hunting… well probably more than rabbits. If hunting out in the frontier speaks to you but you want to yeild the best cuts of meat from your game, consider gaining proficiency in field dressing.

Ambiently, you and your horse will bond over time the more you ride them, but not by much. If you wish to increase bonding with your horse, read more under Horse Management. Your horse will only come to you if you whistle while in range of it. If you want a different horse, put your current horse up in a stable and bring out a different horse while there! Additionally, if you do not put your horse in a stable, it will remain out, even after you log off. Losing your horse does come with a price however, if you send the stable assistants out on a search party.
