Job and wages

The job is your most regular source of money. But a job is not a button you press, it is played: the better you finish a small skill game, the more you earn. As you work your job level rises and better-paying jobs open up.

How you work

You go into the Job section of the Job tab and start working. When the job finishes you take your wage and cannot work again for a while. When the wait is over, you work again.

This loop is the game's most stable income: it does not pay the big sums a business does, but it is always there and requires no investment at all.

If you are VIP the wait between jobs is shorter.

The skill check

Here is the real part of the job. While working, a small skill game appears, and your wage depends on how well you finish it.

• A perfect hit pays the most.
• Come close and you are still paid, but less.
• Miss and the job still counts; only your earnings are low.

Higher jobs pay more but the window for a perfect hit narrows. So levelling up is not enough by itself, you also have to pay real attention. That is what stops the game from being a clicker.

Job level

Every shift earns you job experience. This is a number separate from your character's general level: a high-level player may have a low job level, and the other way round.

As your job level rises, new jobs open up. There are 20 jobs in total; the lowest pays a modest wage, the highest many times that. So the job ladder is the game's longest and steadiest line of progress.

Once a job is unlocked you can switch to it whenever you like. If the narrow window of a high-paying job is giving you trouble, staying one step lower is also a sensible choice.

The working streak

Work at least once every day and your streak grows. The streak raises the gold you earn from the job as a percentage: the longer the streak, the higher your wage, up to a ceiling.

What to know:

• Only working grows the streak. Collecting from a business, digging a mine or collecting from a factory does not count. The reason is simple: collecting from a business is one tap, and if that counted, the streak would mean nothing.
• The day boundary follows world time, not your phone's clock. So a streak cannot be saved by changing the time.
• Miss a day and the streak breaks — but you can save it with gems within a short window. After that you start from zero.
• The game warns you with a notification; keep notifications on if you do not want to miss a day.

Tips

• Work at least once every day. The boost from a streak grows into serious numbers, and it is easy to lose.
• Take the skill game seriously. The difference between two players in the same job is entirely this.
• You do not have to force the highest-paying job. A higher job you keep missing earns less than a lower job you keep hitting.
• Make coming back a habit when the wait ends. The job is the only income you earn without investing anything.
• Turn on notifications. You get a warning before the streak breaks.
