Job
Jobs are a form of repeatable daily quests that involve finding and collecting various items for mob collectors e.g. rare spell components for alchemists. Items can be virtually anywhere and are sometimes difficult to find. To complete jobs it is helpful to have good knowledge of where various items load across the mud, as well as knowing scryer spells like locate object.
Added in June 2013, jobs are still a relevantly new and experimental feature of alter aeon and may be subject to change over they coming months.
