Courier

The Dockmaster in the Harbour hands out delivery jobs. You carry the cargo in your handcart to someone in town and get paid on hand-in.

How it works

Stand near the Dockmaster and open the job board. Pick a job and the cargo rides in your handcart, which follows you. Walk it to the named person, such as the Greengrocer, the Master Smith or Mara Bell at the inn, then crouch beside them or right-click them to hand it over.

Some cargo has rules. Soup spills if you jump, pottery chips if you knock it, and reagents need you to keep walking. Better condition means better pay. Each job has a 15 minute time limit.

The loop

1. Take a job from the Dockmaster's board.
2. Carry it across town, minding the cargo's rules.
3. Hand it over for coins, reputation and sometimes a tip.
4. Rank up to unlock new cargo and cart parts.
5. Fit your cart with wheels, springs, a load, a lamp and paint.

Where it leads

Reputation takes you from Dock Hand to Harbourmaster's Favourite over six ranks. Each rank opens better paying cargo and more cart parts. You can do 12 paid jobs a day; after that, jobs still count towards your rank.

In game, /guide explains every system and /menu opens them all.
