Farmer

The Farmer can encompass many food-based professions: from butchers and cooks, farmers and foragers, to bartenders and brewers.

Whether from an outpost's wheat fields, vegetable gardens, herbal greenhouses, pastures or cellars, if it is consumed then chances are a Farmer produced it.

Tools And Equipment

Farmers will often need a variety of tools in order to work the land; hoes, axes and shovels are usually in abundant supply.

Those wishing to delve into the butchery aspect of the profession may keep some weapons and armour handy for the culling and slaughtering of livestock or wildlife. Similarly, those wishing to look into the apothecarial or brewery aspects of their profession may keep supplies of cauldrons, bottles and other such things.

A Farmer will usually construct their own large dwelling on the outskirts of a town, where they have access to more land and room for livestock.

Farmers In-Game

Many food-related jobs go hand-in-hand with the Farmer profession. There is usually the standard crop-based farmer, who tills the land and plants crops to feed the Outpost.

Some may wish to invest in the other aspects of the profession, becoming full time butchers, brewers or lending their hands to accumulating apothecarial herbs and plants. Others may wish to specialise further, taking on a heavy role-playing aspect in their profession, playing chocolatiers, cheese-makers or other artisanal food creators.

Characters who wish to run food or drink-based businesses will often go with the Farmer profession, to enable the gathering and production of foodstuffs. These could be restauranteurs, tavern-owners and other such things.
