Profession Changes

[Ander]

As many of you have already noted, there are some annoyances with the way the Profession system is currently run. Since the problems are very specific, we ultimately decided that only a couple of small tweaks are needed to address them:

1.) Currently, every time you switch Professions, your rank automatically reverts to 1. This ruling has now been changed. Instead, whenever you switch Professions, your rank is only reduced by one, to a minimum of one. For example, if I was a Level 3 Mailman and I wanted to switch to a chef, I would be a Level 2 Chef, instead of only a Level 1 Chef. But if I was a Level 1 Mailman, I'd just become a Level 1 Chef.

2.) Currently, doing a quest outside of your Profession incurs a zeni penalty. This penalty has now been abolished; you get paid the same amount of zeni for every job quest you do, but you are still identified by a "main profession." So if you're a mailman, and you want to do a chef job on the side, it's okay.


The official Rules page will be amended shortly. As always, you're welcome to ask questions or give constructive commentary. Thank you for your suggestions.
