Although wandering across Attica is a hobby to many, it isn't always productive in supporting a Vesper's lifestyle. So, many have taken up Careers to earn a bit of coin on the side.
Vespers have a wide range of tasks they can complete - quests for glory, coins, monsters to hunt, beasts to fight. Some even find a niche and settle into it, using their learned skills to make a little income on the side as well as gather some extra supplies.
Vespers must have completed their Trials of Youth before taking on a Career Track. Career Tracks are entirely different from the randomized, extra jobs available at
The Sanctuary and both may be taken on at the same time. Career Tracks also grant a Vesper
5 extra breeding slots and
decrease the Virus penalty by -5% when breeding!
****Vespers may only choose one career to take up full time, but every month the player will receive 25 coins and 5 items related to their designated career track.
Please note that once you have chosen a career track, Vespers require an Identification Wipe to choose a new one, so please read through and select carefully!
In the future, Careers may involved exclusive prompts, competitions and crafting recipes open only to those in the specified Career Track.

APPLY FOR A CAREER.
Payday is the 5th of every month!
Players who complete the set Bonus Track for their career are eligible for one extra time per payday as well as an additional ten gold pieces per pay day.
Additional rewards may be given for creativity or effort present in a player's career prompt responses. All bonus track submissions must be new pieces, not a prior accomplishment. Bonus tracks do not count as one of your two required prompts to register for a Career.
Bonus tracks do not have to be completed at the time a player applies for a career track - they may be applied at a later date, and the Vesper will then become eligible for the bonus track rewards. To apply a bonus track at a later date, please reply to your original career verification comment!Players may register as many Vespers as they like for Careers, but to prevent abuse of this system, a maximum of THREE vespers will be eligible for reward. If a player has four Vespers registered, the reigning staff member will randomly select three from the four for eligible rewards.
If a player has failed to make use their verified Vesper for a time of or exceeding two months, that Vesper becomes ineligible for pay day. (i.e. players must submit either misc. artwork or official
ATTICA-BOUND pieces for each Vesper at least once over a two month time span)
