Profession Choices

[Cptldsilver]

I'd love to see some more diversity in the different profession choices. I like most of the current choices though, and I hope that these just get added alongside it. Here's some of the stuff I'd like to see.

• "Gourmand": Increases the sell price of all cooked dishes by 50%. A farming skill.
• "Archaeologist": Doubles the spawn rate of worms in the ground. A foraging skill.
• Change the "Tracker" profession to double the spawn rate of foragables instead of showing you where they are.
• "Chemist": Decrease the production time of the crystalarium by 50%. A mining skill.
• "Scavenger": Put the effects of the burglars ring (double monster drops) in a skill and change the burglars ring to something different. A combat skill.
• "Fishery", and "Fishery Master": Double the growth and output of a fish pond.

Does anyone else have some professions that they would like to see added?

In my perfect world, cooking is a skill that produces standard, silver, gold, and iridium quality dishes and the skill choices are...

• Level 5: Connoisseur - Buffs from cooked meals last twice as long.
  • Level 10: Nutritionist - Gain energy over time in addition to the normal benefits when eating cooked meals
  • Level 10: Brewer - Kegs process goods twice as fast.
• Level 5: ??? - The quality of cooked meals is increased by 1.
  • Level 10: ??? - Friendship gained from gifted meals is increased by 50%.
  • Level 10: Master Chef - Cooked meals are worth 50% more.

Wow that's way more thought out than what I was thinking. Great ideas!

How would you level up your cooking skill? Would it just be by cooking dishes?

I'd make it a timing mini-game with three checks. No successes would result in a standard quality dish, one would be a silver start, two a gold, and hitting all three would net an iridium quality meal. Each meal cooked would grant a bit of cooking exp. And to put cooking in line with other skills, I'd turn the kitchen in the Community Center into its own bundle requiring a variety of meals.

I like it.

Oh yea. I'd be all over the Gourmand profession. I love cooking both irl and in game >;D

Just the name "gourmand" makes me want it XD
Would the quality of ingredients matter in the quality of the dish though?
