Workers

Workers are hired NPCs who run skill sessions independently while you play. You manage them from the Inn in the Town screen.

Slots

There are two worker slots:

• Slot 1 is reserved for the Long Laborer, a low-cost generalist who works slowly but does anything.
• Slot 2 accepts a Skilled Worker (Apprentice, Journeyman, or Master). Each day a new pool of workers is available to hire; you choose the tier.

Every hire is one job per hire: the worker is dismissed as soon as you collect their session, in both slots. Hire a new worker to keep that slot working.

Each worker has a daily name that changes at 6 AM. Firing and rehiring on the same day gives you a new random name from the same pool.

Worker Tiers

Gathering output = session hours × efficiency multiplier, applied to all gathering loot and XP at collect time. Crafting output shows the maximum number of items processed per session. Per-item time scales with efficiency (1 min/item at 1.0× efficiency; faster above, slower below) — the per-item rate is noted where it differs from that 1 min/item baseline.

Skills Available

Workers can be assigned any skill from the following categories. Farming, all combat skills, Slayer, and Mercantile are not available.

Inn Upgrade Bonuses

Upgrading the Inn building increases the XP gained by both workers.
