You spend the day performing labor or services in exchange for copper pennies. You must be in a location where paid work is available, such as a city or hub.

You perform basic manual tasks that require no specialized knowledge. This requires no Roll, and the work is almost always available. You automatically earn 1 copper penny per hour of work.

You use your specific talents to earn a higher wage, though you risk lower pay if the work is poorly performed. You must specify the exact trade or profession in which you seek to work.

First, you must spend one hour seeking employment. If you have previously worked within the trade or profession in this community, and did not roll a complete failure, you do not need to roll. Otherwise, roll+CHA or roll+EDU, whichever is greater. On a 9 or greater, you find work in your chosen field. On an 8 or less, you must choose a different field and try again.

Once you have found work, you must put in eight hours in the craft or trade. Roll+CHA or roll+EDU, whichever the Director states is appropriate for the job.
