Walk Of Life - Profession Overhaul

What this is

This mod is an extensive overhaul of the skill progression and profession tree systems. It replaces the unbalanced and rather boring vanilla professions with more unique and impactful choices. The goal is not to re-optimize gold-making potential, but to expand the gameplay and encourage new experiences.

Optionally, this mod also brings "classic" game progression tropes, like Prestige Classes, Class Change Level Reset, and Limit Breaks. They are enabled by default, but can be disabled. Learn more about them below.

This mod is inspired by such legendary overhaul mods as Enai Siaion's Ordinator for Skyrim and ReaperAnon's W3EE. It borrows many ideas and a few assets from the classic Ragnarok Online and a few other popular games. It also includes new and improved profession icons delivered by IllogicalMoodSwing (please visit and endorse Profession Icons Redone).

The Professions

Click twice on the professions below to expand for more details. I encourage reading this section fully, as some professions have some "hidden" minor perks not mentioned in their description, while other descriptions are intentionally vague due to the in-game length limitation. Golden text refers to Prestige Professions (read more about them in the next section). All perks are cumulative except when written with strikethrough, which means a previous perk is being replaced/upgraded.

Level 5 professions always grant one minor early-game perk. Level 10 professions always give two perks: one minor and one major; the minor perk usually being a simple numeric buff, and the major perk a new gameplay feature. These professions have gone through several years of iteration, aiming to strike the right mix of consistency, gameplay fairness, realism/immersion, and overall fun factor.

[] Harvester (Lv5) - 10% chance for extra yield from harvested crops.

Master Harvester (Lv15) - 10% → 20% chance for extra yield from harvested crops.

Equivalent in value to vanilla's 10% price bonus on average, but also provides value if you don't sell raw crops.

[*] Agriculturist (Lv10) - Crops grow 10% faster, plus 5% per different crop type grown in the same tile and season. Highest-quality crops can be harvested organically, without fertilizers.

Cropwhisperer (Lv20) - Chance to harvest crops grown previously in the same tile and season. Use Retaining Soil to grow crops out of season.

Every tilled tile keeps a memory of the previous crops grown on that tile in the current season. For each unique crop in that memory, the next crop gains 5% bonus to growth speed. If prestiged, each crop in memory also has a chance to be harvested as a bonus yield. Chance is 20% for the most recent crop, and decreases by 2x for each subsequent crop (10% / 5% / 2. 5%). Caps out at 4 crops.

Soil memory resets on the 1st of every season, and is completely lost if the hoe dirt disappears (whether from using a Pickaxe or left unplanted).

Highest-quality refers to iridium, which normally requires Deluxe Fertilizer. The chance is very small; about 7% at level 10, without fertilizers. Deluxe Fertilizer increases
