[Bast]

I'm bored and i can't sleep (clowns will eat me!) So I was thinking the what are worst jobs in arm?

My pick...Ginka farmer! They -must- tie those plants down..They are viscous! in fact I think my next  char might be a horribly scarred former ginka farmer...class? Warrior obviously.

[Sephiroto]

Recruit of <Insert name of Organization> - These jobs typically have high mortality rates and often start with no salary.

Tek's Poison Tester - Tek likes his grub spiced with poison.  Its your job to make sure the food is up to standards.  Poison testers are lucky to live through lunchtime.  Testers tough enough to survive until the next breakfast become blue-robes.

[Cutthroat]

Hiring:

Mekillot Attractor
House Salarrius is looking for an talented ranger to aggro exactly ONE (1) mekillot so that the rest of the hunters can take it out with ease. Pay starts at 100 coins a day, under condition that the employee keeps the payment on his/her person during time of job. Newbie clothes preferred.

Height Measurer
Lord Templar Amos Fale is searching for an agile Allanaki citizen, willing to tie ropes of various lengths around his/her waist and jump off of the Shield Wall, for a Shield Wall measuring project. Pay starts at 100 coins a day, under condition that the employee keeps the payment on his/her person during time of job. Elf preferred. Rope will be provided by the Lord Templar and is made of the sturdiest withered numut vines of the northlands.

'Rinth Explorer
Lady Templar Talia Tor requires one silk-clad commoner of absolutely no status or rank in any organization to scout the Labyrinth and all its alleys. The scouter will be paid upon return of information. Elf or half-elf preferred, though other races are fair as well.

If you're messin' with the dude who has enough poisoned knives that he makes a living selling them, you aren't going to be messin' with him for long, because you know he's saving the good stuff for his personal stash.  Even elves should be smart enough not to go grabbing that rantarri by the tail.

Merchant House Property Organizer

The Coalition of GMH Agents have gathered together and offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for that lucky lad or lass. Your task will be to organize the barracks, crafter halls, mount pens, and wagons, of every GMH in the Known World. Each of these prestigious merchant houses has very active hunters/gatherers, who bring bags and boxes filled with random crap from every corner of the Known, and drop it off in random spots within each House's property. Your responsibility will be to pick it up and put it away where it belongs. That will occur, shortly after you figure out where it belongs. You have exactly four days to accomplish this task, and after the fourth day, you will be required to pack it all up into each House's argosy for a long journey to the Silt.

You can eat whatever food doesn't fit in the boxes you organize, you can drink from any of the 14-dozen leftover half-filled waterskins, you are welcome to wear any of the stained, cracked, gith-stenched items of clothing or gear, and therefore you have no need for pay.

When you are done organizing, you will be required to empty the mount pens of dung, in each Estate property. Your bonus will be whatever you can acquire by selling of the dung.

Serious inquiries only, elves need not apply.

No way man. They'd all try it on. It's fine to wonder if the salesman might actually be a ninja in disguise, but it doesn't make it true. I'm thinking of it in the selling native americans guns and them having them shoot you context.

To stay on topic. My next candidate:

Can you imagine a life spent writing by hand what other people dictate to you ... but not really ever being allowed to read anything because it's all too top sekrit for your lowly eyes?

I'd imagine that slaves trusted enough to be used for writing live pretty good, pampered lives. They probably care about that more than about reading books.

Oh I agree, but given the frequency of the postings, I am dubious of the turnover rate.

Some days you're the bone sword, other days you're the motherfucka. Seriously though, that link is a gateway to possibly the best role in Armageddon. *waxes nostalgic*

Anyway, worst jobs on Zalanthas? A door guard in a compound. All you do all day is open and shut the door for douchebags. Hrm, what else? I think it's been said already, but I think being a mek tamer/trainer would really suck. Being a farmer around Allanak wouldn't be fun at all, for a variety of reasons.

Have to disagree firmly on that one. 

[Twilight]

Anything that keeps you safe but bored.

On topic.

nakki Census taker. Uh huh, -That- would be the bitch of all jobs. You take his name, age, job, and personal details down, for him to walk two minutes down the road, and -BAM- dead.

[RogueGunslinger]

Salt grebbing.

Yeah, right.  If your forage skill doesn't suck, you can make more money than God.

Was speaking realistically, not codedly...  And yes, Salt-grebbing is easily the most profitable job on zalanthas for any guild_ranger or Subguild_scavenger who practices finding shit every so often.

[Akaramu]

A whore.

Seriously.  Why pay when the other girl is spreading her legs for free?

Oh.  And whoever harvests wezer wax.  I imagine there's a high turnover rate.

[Sunburned]

As a player...

Byn Sargeant.

Not the worst job in the game to have, but just so damn thankless, I had to put it out there.  Thing is, though, I still miss it, some days...

[Chettaman]

That woman hunched over the bucket... where in the world does she get that grey water?

[RogueGunslinger]

citizens waste-water.


Edit: Greywater is wastewater generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing which can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape irrigation, and constructed wetlands.

Greywater comprises 50-80% of residential wastewater generated from all of the house's sanitation equipment (excepting toilets). Water from the toilets is designated sewage or blackwater to indicate it contains human waste.
