This mod replaces "handing in" crops, ores or wood to farmers, miners and lumberjack. This works well with mods that add ownerships to crops, ores, etc. As such, you can still help farmers, miners and lumberjacks, without stealing their goods and selling it back to them. I always found this a terrible way to help them. Improving that was basically my main inspiration for this mod.
How it works
First, you need to talk to a potential employer and ask if they acually need help. The employer needs to be at their usual workplace.
Several employers will only give a job when their relevant quests have been done, for instance, the tutorial blacksmithing quest.
If they need help, you can work for them for 6 hours, provided you have the required tools. (If they don't need help, come back the following day, as they may be in need by then.)
If you do, the screen will go black briefly while you perform the job. (This will pass 6 in game hours.)
A random roll will be made, to determine how well you've performed.
Your success will vary on, based on various factors:
-
[]Your level in the relevant skills (for instance, Alchemy, when helping Alchemists).[/]
[]Your level in the relevant job. (viewable in the MCM)[/]
[]Your reputation with your employer. (viewable in the MCM)[/]
[]The difficulty of said job and work conditions. (ill-tempered or rude employer, cold weather conditions, etc)[/]
Each job has one or more associated skills. Your current level in these skills influence the success of the roll and may also increase afterwards, depending on the outcome.
I've included the formula after each skill, so for instance (1/10) means roughly around 1 tenth of the skill's level is added to the roll's outcome.
[]Acolyte: Restoration (1/7. 5)[/]
[]Alchemist: Alchemy (1/7. 5)[/]
[]Blacksmith: Smithing (1/7. 5)[/]
[]Caretaker: Restoration (1/10)[/]
[]Court Wizard: All magic skills including enchanting. (1/20 each) (You gain experience in a random magic skill.)[/]
[*]Farm Hand: Alchemy and 2H (1/
