A Miner's Missions Spelunking, Pickaxes, Resources
For Depth:Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth from an ore body, lode, vein, seam, or reef, which forms the mineralized package of economic interest to the miner. In layman's terms, digging into the ground of the Shinobi Nations will yield some sweet, sweet loot. Some shinobi have it easier than others, of course, and may not have to go mining for resources. Others can simply make their own resources, but what comes from deep underground is more than that: it's blood, sweat, tears, laughter, and the promise of vast untold fortunes.
Rewards Worker class shinobi accrue AC and Ryo normal rewards for [E, D, C] missions. Worker class shinobi accrue double Ryo and normal AC for the [B, A, S] missions.
Non-Worker class shinobi only accrue Ryo from Job missions unless the mission was assigned by a Village Leader. If a job is assigned by a Village Leader, non-Worker class shinobi accrue AC and Ryo as per normal rewards for [E, D, C] missions. If assigned by a Village Leader, a non-Worker shinobi accrues double the Ryo and normal AC for the [B, A, S] missions. If it is not assigned by the Village Leader, no AC is earned by shinobi who are not of the Worker class.
When Mining, roll a single 1-22 dice. The number you land on will indicate what ores are discovered, starting from Coal (1), to Other (22). All numbers equal to and lower than the one you roll are eligible for picking the desired ore. You may pick one to actually mine, and the rest are collected by the village or camp, as indicated by the mission giver. Without including ability usage, the normal amount that one person can carry is 50 lbs, in an empty backpack.

(i.e. failed dice rolls will give the minimum, instead) A vein will also not need to be scouted after found, and can be mined like usual, at half the post rate required, not including post reductions.
Treasures, Fossils, and Fortunes The world underneath one's feet
-_-_-Fossils Description: A fossil (from Classical Latin fossilis; literally, "obtained by digging"') is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the fossil record. -_-_-Treasures Description: Long buried secrets, aged common artefacts, or even the most bizarre, supremely valuable treasures can be found if given enough search time. Please refer to the treasures section below the fossils section, for further information. -_-_-Guide Usage: This Guide is currently useful only for situations where Fossils and Treasures are found via the Mining [Job]. Each section has a structure, like '1d10', which indicates how many, and what kind of sided die to roll. For ease of use: dice roller. The first column shows the kind of sided die, whether it's a simple 6-sided, or a potential 41-sided die (the column's last box). The second column is how many of those die are going to be rolled. The box all the way on the right will show all of the rolls that are performed, and will persist until the reset button is pressed.
-_-_-Fossil Guide
The types of fossils are: (1d10)
Index: Also known as guides, indicators or zonals, 10 ryou, +1 additional roll on the 'types of fossils'. Trace: Consist mainly of tracks and burrows, but also include coprolites (fossil feces) and marks left by feeding, 15 ryou. Transitional: Any fossilized remains of a life form that exhibits traits common to both an ancestral group and its derived descendant group, 20 ryou. Microfossil: A descriptive term applied to fossilized plants and animals whose size is just at or below the level at which the fossil can be analyzed by the naked eye, 25 ryou. Resin: A natural polymer found in many types of strata throughout the world, even the Arctic, 30 ryou. Derived, reworked or remanié: A fossil found in rock that accumulated significantly later than when the fossilized animal or plant died, 20 ryou. Wood: Wood that is preserved in the fossil record, and may be petrified, 10 ryou. Subfossil: Can be used to refer to remains, such as bones, nests, or defecations, whose fossilization process is not complete, either because the length of time since the animal involved was living is too short (less than 10,000 years) or because the conditions in which the remains were buried were not optimal for fossilization, 5 ryou. Chemical fossils, or chemofossils: These are chemicals found in rocks and fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, and natural gas) that provide an organic signature for ancient life. 10 ryou, requires a chemist to understand, no further rolls. Pseudofossils: Visual patterns in rocks that are produced by geologic processes rather than biologic processes, 10 ryou.
Ways to Fossil: (1d8)
Permineralization: Most common type, minerals fill in empty spaces in bones, etc. Leaves the solids intact. (1.0x ryou value) Mold: A hollow 'shell' that has an imprint of the once fossil. Everything other than the imprint is gone. (1.5x ryou value) Cast: When a mineral fills in a mold, and can be made of various quartz or other rocks. (1.5x ryou value) Authigenic Mineralization: A specimen that rapidly went through the phases of a mold and a cast, preserving a lot of information in a 3d structure. (2.5x ryou value) Replacement and Recrystallization: A specimen that slowly went through the phases of a mold and a cast, preserving bone and shell information in a 3d structure. (2.0x ryou value) Adpression: This term covers both 'impression' and 'compression', as they usually arrive together. When an adpression fossil is broken open, one half will have the former, the other half the latter. This fossil is great at preserving soft tissue information, albeit in a compressed, rather 2d structure. (2.5x ryou value) Carbonization: A fossil wherein the soft tissues became merely a silhouette of the original. (1.5x ryou value) Bioimmuration: When one fossil overtakes another, preserving it much more efficiently. (3.0x ryou value)
Ages of Fossils: (1d5)
Fresh: Specimens that have only just begun to have one of the Ways to Fossil occur. Usually extremely common, and not worth much. (.05x ryou value) Young: Specimens that are only marginally older than the Age of the Shinobi. Commonly found, they may be seen as decorative objects in history loving citizens' homes. (.5x ryou value) Aged: Specimens that have had sufficient time to become a proper fossil. (No ryou value change) Old: Specimens that have not only had sufficient time to become a proper fossil, but are usually buried underneath even more fossils. (1.5x ryou value) Ancient: Specimens that are so old, the fossils are starting to decay from age. (2x ryou value)
Where they Became: (1d41)
If of unknown, 1.0x value. If of a 5 main village country, 1.5x value. If of any other country, 2.0x value.
Land of Ancestors Land of Bean Jam Land of Bears Land of Benisu Island Land of Birds Land of Claws Land of Demons Land of Earth Land of Fangs Land of Fire Land of Forests Land of Honey Land of Hot Water Land of Iron Land of Keys Land of Lightning Land of Moon Land of Mountain Steams Land of Mountains Land of Neck Land of Noodles Land of Rivers Land of Rouran Land of Sand Land of Sea Land of Silence Land of Sky Land of Snow Land of Stone Land of Sound Land of Swamps Land of Tea Land of That Land of This Land of Valleys Land of Vegetables Land of Water Land of Whirlpools Land of Wind Land of Woods Unknown
Size of the Fossil: (1d8)
Tiny (less than 1 centi) (0.2x ryou value) Little (1 centi - 5 centi) (0.4x ryou value) Small (5 centi - 1 deci) (0.6x ryou value) Medium (1 deci - 5 deci) (0.8x ryou value) Large (5 deci - 1 meter) (1.0x ryou value) Very Large (1 meter - 2 deca) (1.5x ryou value, needs Takumi's excavation team) Enormous (1 deca - 5 deca) (2.0x ryou value, needs Takumi's excavation team) Gargantuan (5 deca - 1 hecto) (3.0x ryou value, needs Takumi's excavation team) All values in '-meters' If Takumi's excavation team is needed, their City Hall will have a team of individuals for assistance. An excavation generally takes a large amount of time (1 irl month at very large, 2 months for enormous, and 4 months for gargantuan) for 1 hirable to excavate all on their own, at 100 ryou per week. Additional hires are available, and reduce the work load by 50%, multiplicatively. Alternatively, the finder may assist the excavation team, taking on the task alongside them. This requires 1 non-reduceable post per week, within the excavation thread, and functions as an additional (multiplicatively) 50% off.
What is the Fossil: (1d10)
Land animal, warm blooded Land animal, cold blooded Aerial animal, warm blooded Aerial animal, cold blooded Aquatic animal, warm blooded Aquatic animal, cold blooded Plant, deciduous Plant, coniferous Fungi Insect Species: 2d26, these rolls represent a capitalized letter on the English alphabet. Physical Gender: 1d5, this is generally male (M), female (F), hermaphrodite (H), parthenogenesis (P), or isogamy (I). Age: 1d100, this being a percentage value of a species' normal maximum life span.
Potential Price of Fossil:
Type x Way x Age x Where x Size x 100 = Final Example: Transitional (20) x Mold (1.5) x Young (0.5) x Land of Silence (2.0) x Large (1.0) x 100 = 3,000 ryou. If everything is identical, the potential price of the second fossil (and any other successives) drops by 50%. Please note that the final price given is a maximum, and not an actual. It is not unheard of for sellers to only receive half of the maximum amount, or even lower, depending on the buyer.
Identification Number of Fossil:
Type - Way - Age - Where - Size - What (less the '-') Example: Transitional - Mold - Young - Land of Silence - Large - Coniferous (7, 25, M, 50) = 2 - 2 - 2 - 26 - 5 - 8 is 2222658GZM50 No two are truly alike.
-_-_-Treasure Guide
Size of Treasure Horde: (1d9)
Lost and Found: 1 item. Fossil: 1 item, refer to the fossil guide. Animal's Grave: 2 items, 1 of which is an animal fossil. Commoner's Grave: 2 items, 1 of which is a human fossil. Commoner's Couples' Grave: 4 items, 2 of which are human fossils. Noble's Grave: 4 items, 1 of which is a human fossil. Requires Takumi's excavation team. Noble's Couples' Grave: 8 items, 2 of which are human fossils. Requires Takumi's excavation team. Royal Tomb: 8 items, 1 of which is a human fossil. Requires Takumi's excavation team, and a monster dispatch. Royal Couple's Tomb: 16 items, 2 of which are human fossils. Requires Takumi's excavation team, and a monster dispatch. For each item, roll to figure out what it is, with fossils referring to the above fossil guide. If Takumi's excavation team is needed, their City Hall will have a team of individuals for assistance. A treasure excavation generally takes a medium amount of time (2 irl weeks at Noble's, 1 month for Noble's Couple's, 2 months for Royal Tomb's, and 4 months for Royal Couple's Tomb) for 1 hirable to excavate all on their own, at 100 ryou per week. Additional hires are available, and reduce the work load by 50%, multiplicatively. Alternatively, the finder may assist the excavation team, taking on the task alongside them. This requires 1 non-reduceable post per week, within the excavation thread, and functions as an additional (multiplicatively) 50% off. For the 'Royal' finds, they will be guarded by a minimum of 1 monster, having been sealed in to prevent tomb raiders.
Ages of Treasures: (1d5)
Fresh: Specimens that have only just begun to age. Usually extremely common, and not worth much. (.05x ryou value) Young: Specimens that are only marginally older than the Age of the Shinobi. Commonly found, they may be seen as decorative objects in history loving citizens' homes. (.5x ryou value) Aged: Specimens that have had sufficient time to become properly buried and forgotten. (No ryou value change) Old: Specimens that have not only had sufficient time to become properly buried and forgotten, but are usually buried underneath even more than the usual amount of debris.

(.05x ryou value) Decayed: Due to long term exposure to air and/or moisture, the item has lost all luster and color, and has begun to crumble. (.5x ryou value) Tarnished: Due to exposure to air and/or moisture, the item has dropped in quality, losing luster and most color. (.8x ryou value) Preserved: Due to it being sufficiently sealed, the item has only a tiny bit of degradation, retaining most luster and color. (1.0x ryou value) Well Preserved: Due to it being well sealed, the item has no significant degradation, and retains nearly all luster and color. (1.5x ryou value)

Summoning: Turtle/Tortoise. Summoning: Bird. Summoning: Hare. Summoning: Lizard. Summoning: Bat. Summoning: Insect. Summoning: Behemoth. Summoning: Rodent. Other (monster, plant, fungi, bacterial, natural, etc) This list is useful for finding out what the purpose was of the treasure, as not all items will be designed the same way, even if they are for the same purpose. (such as a sweater for a squid, rather than a human) Any inscriptions that aren't from a human will likely be in said person's tongue, and thus unreadable by outsiders. For all non-humans... Species: 2d26, these rolls represent a capitalized letter on the English alphabet.
Is it Trapped? (1d6)
No. (no further rolls required) Yes, but the trap is already destroyed. Yes, but the trap is already sprung. Yes, but the trap is of low quality. (1 rank less to avoid) Yes, and it is in good condition. Yes, and there are multiple. (roll this section two more times, taking all 1s to be 2s)
If a 4 or 5 was rolled, roll the following, (1d5)
Did not activate any traps, cannot see the activation mechanism. Did not activate any traps, can see the activation mechanism. Activated a self-destruct. (-1 to the Degradation roll) Activated 1 trap. Activated all traps.
For what kind of trap, (1d11 [type], 1d8 [rank of nothing, and E-S+])
Snare Pitfall Punji-pit Deadfall Explosive Trapdoor Rolling Boulder Scything Trap (blades swinging, rotating, etc) Chemical Trap (fire, acid, water, etc) Kuchiyose (bringing in something) Fuuin (usually an illusion or Ninjutsu)
What is the Treasure's normal Maximum Value? (1d12)
All numbers stated are the maximum ryo value of said item(s), along with examples, and includes all valued items up from the previous item value. It is possible to find multiple items from lesser values, totaling said maximum, if the Size of the treasure indicates multiple items.
Age x Where x Degradation x Quality x What = Final Example: Aged (1.0) x Land of Moon (2.0) x Decayed (0.5) x Master (2.0) x Job Importance (200 ryou) = 400 ryou. Please note that the final price given is a maximum, and not an actual. It is not unheard of for sellers to only receive half of the maximum amount, or even lower, depending on the buyer.
Identification Number of Treasure:
Size - Age - Where - Degradation - Quality - Who - What (less the '-') Example: Lost and Found - Aged - Land of Moon - Decayed - Master - Hare Summoning (rolled FS), Job Importance = 1 - 3 - 17 - 2 - 5 - 14FS - 6 is 13172514FS6. A Hare Summoning's version of a Chuunin's scroll, perhaps? No two are truly alike.

Smithing Types
Whitesmithing Description: A common occupation, it involves shaping soft metals (tin, pewter, gold, silver, etc) or working on cold metals, filing, polishing, and other types of finishing work. These folks produce forks, pitchers, candle holders, chandeliers, and other commonly used metallic items. Gaining experience as a whitesmith helps in learning the basic metal smithing types. Smithing Example: Receiving a touch-up job from a client, Yakou-san takes a polishing cloth to an almost broken pitcher. Shining it up just like new, he finds where a delicate crack is, that would otherwise cause issues later on. Shaping some pewter into the crack to fill it, Yakou-san buffs it up, applying a new layer of polish to make it seem like the crack was never there to begin with. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Whitesmith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times with metals, for each above title, to a minimum of 1 post per item. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Blacksmithing Description: A common occupation, it involves shaping and working iron and steel by forging with hammers, anvils, clamps, and other many tools. These folks can create nearly anything needed by the populace, including nails, horseshoes, weapons, armor, railing, furniture, cooking utensils, and other commonly used metallic items. After producing an item, he or she will hand their craft off to a whitesmith for finishing up. Gaining experience as a blacksmith helps in learning the basic metal smithing types. Smithing Example: Yakou-san has received an order for some horseshoes. Throwing some wood and fresh coal into the furnace, he waits until it has reached just the right temperature. With sweat on his brow, he takes his tongs and iron, holding the iron in the fire until it is blazing red. Quickly pulling it out, he lays it on an anvil, to beat upon with his family's hammer. After a while of shaping, he quenches the hot iron in cool water before calling over a whitesmith to finish up. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Blacksmith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times with metals, for each above title, to a minimum of 1 post per item. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Woodworking Description: A common occupation, it involves shaping and working many types of wood by many means, including chisels, hammers, sanders, and grinders. These folks can create nearly anything needed by the populace, including bridges, chests, statues, arrow shafts, hammer handles, and other commonly used wood items. Gaining experience as a woodsmith helps in learning fletching (arrow making), whitesmithing, and other crafts. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's ornery cousin loves to carve wooden handles, chairs, and mini-statues of his family. Day after day, the cousin whittles away on small chunks of wood, or taps a hammer on the end of a chisel, to reveal the underlying shapes. Sometimes, he is called upon to use a large saw, to create stacks of 2x4 for making buildings. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Woodsmith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times with wood, for each above title, to a minimum of 1 post per item. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Tailoring Description: A common occupation, it involves creating, shaping, and working many types of hides, leathers, wool, and finer materials by many means, including the usage of scissors, weaving, tanning, shears, sewing machines, and measuring tapes. These folks can create nearly anything that needs to be worn by the populace, including basic clothing, suits, leather armor, and shoes. Gaining experience as a tailor helps in learning armor-smithing, and can provide insight to how one fights on the battlefield. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's mother typically makes the family their clothes, but he sometimes dabbles in doing some sewing, himself. Bolts of cloth get unfolded, snipped with some sharp scissors, measured to the correct lengths, and then sewn up with one his mother's sewing machines. To this day, she still cannot figure out where Yakou-san keeps getting all of his blankets. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Tailor'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times with tailoring, for each above title, to a minimum of 1 post per item. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Glass-blowing Description: A less common occupation, it involves shaping and working many types of glass by many means, including blowing, using molds, jacks, paddles, and shears. These folks can create very delicate pieces, windows, or even weapons and armor in the long run if they go that route. Gaining experience as a glass-smith helps in crafting, jewelry, and other delicate smithing types. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's intrepid daughter loves the art of shaping glass. With her very own tri-partitioned furnace, she's able to pool a bunch of glass, dip her tubing into it to pull out a large blob, blow some air into it, and repeat with other sections of the furnace. When the glass becomes cool enough for the daughter to shape it, she'll use paddles, molds, and other tools to gently push and pull parts into place. As an aspiring buki-student, she also remembers to let a 'Harden' marble fuse with the glass, letting her create spiffy helmets, daggers, and other battle-ready items. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Glass-Blower'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times with glass, for each above title, to a minimum of 1 post per item. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Rare Material-smithing Description: A less common occupation, it involves shaping and working atypical materials, such as Beheader Steel, Samehada Scales, strange metals like uranium, and materials gathered from monsters, by forging with hammers, anvils, clamps, and many other tools. These folks can create nearly anything needed by the populace, including nails, horseshoes, weapons, armor, railing, furniture, cooking utensils, and other commonly used metallic items. After producing an item, he or she will hand their craft off to a whitesmith for finishing up. Gaining experience as a blacksmith and as a whitesmith is a must, requiring apprenticeship in both before taking this task. Smithing Example: -To be added- Requirements: Apprentice rank in blacksmithing and whitesmithing. This tree must be taken for each rare material. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Metal-smith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Replace the word 'Metal' with the type you are studying. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times with materials, for each above title, for each different material, to a minimum of 1 post per item. This title must be taken for each individual metal. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Weapon-smithing Description: A less common occupation, smithing just for weaponry is a specific path involving many different types. Basic weapon-smithing requires both black and white, while woodsmiths can provide handles, fletching (arrow making), and other more minor details. Jewelers may even have a hand in it, if the overall product is not for heavy use. Metal-specific smithing can be used to make unusual metals into weapons, such as silver, gold, and platinum. Glass-blowing can replace Metal-specific. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's battle-hardened wife knows even more about weapon and armor smithing than even Yakou-san. When it's her turn at the furnace, she gets the entire family there in the workshop to have a hand in creating absolutely fascinating pieces. To her, it's not just an arrow, it's an oaken shaft, tipped with eagles' feathers and a sharp glass arrowhead. Even her brass knuckles have diamonds and a highly distracting blood red tassel hanging off the end. Requirements: Apprentice rank in blacksmithing, whitesmithing, and one other smithing type. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Weapon-smith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version. Benefits: Grants a 2 post reduction to crafting times for weapons, for each above title, to a minimum of 1 post per item. Apprentice and Journeyman titles must be learned while on the job, doing missions for customers.
Armor-smithing Description: A less common occupation, smithing just for armor is a specific path involving many different types. Basic armor-smithing requires both black and white, while tailors can provide stitching, leathers, and other more minor details. Jewelers may even have a hand in it, if the overall product is not for heavy use. Metal-specific smithing can be used to make unusual metals into weapons, such as silver, gold, and platinum. Glass-blowing can replace Metal-specific. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's battle-hardened wife knows even more about weapon and armor smithing than even Yakou-san. When it's her turn at the furnace, she gets the entire family there in the workshop to have a hand in creating absolutely fascinating pieces. To her, it's not just an arm brace, it's an arm brace that's had its leather dipped in the finest oils, the rivets holding it together are made from the purest wave steel, and is made to be as light as a feather or as heavy as an ox at a moment's notice. Truly, such amazing armor dazzles on the battlefield. Requirements: Apprentice rank in blacksmithing, whitesmithing, and one other smithing type. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Armor-smith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version.

Jeweler Description: A rare occupation, it usually involves molding and working uncommon materials like silver, gold, and titanium to accept very precious minerals, like diamonds, jade, and opals. They usually have a small workshop that contains a top-notch blowtorch, tongs, optics, filers, and other high detail work instruments. These folks can create nearly anything needed by the populace for decoratives, including rings, necklaces, broaches, and amulets. After producing an item, he or she will hand their craft off to a whitesmith for finishing up. Gaining experience as a blacksmith and whitesmith, requiring apprenticeship in all before taking this task. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's nephew works as a jeweler, when he's not filing off iron scale or hammering away on steel. Often seen with his optical visor on, hunkering over his workbench with ring in hand, the young man is busy with the tiniest of details. For the nephew, every piece of jewelry his auntie wears means another variable marble can be stuffed in to her battle dressing, to help his auntie slay. He has to balance the rings, amulets, and such so as to not make them heavy or unwieldy. Once, a too long necklace was torn from her neck because she had too many rings on: there wasn't enough space to let her fingers move very well, and they were heavy, slowing her down. It was only once, but the nephew vowed to never let it happen again. Requirements: Apprentice rank in blacksmithing, whitesmithing, and one other smithing type. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Jeweler'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version.

Infusion Artificer Description: A rare occupation, it involves taking several resources and either Orichalcum or Gelel, and shaping them into objects called 'Variable Marbles'. They usually have a small workshop that contains a top-notch library, various mythical jujus, religious paraphernalia, scientific equipment, and other items that help them to delve into the mysterious world of chakra. These folks can create nearly anything they can infuse with chakra, including stones that emit smells, flash bright lights, or even become edible foods. After producing an item, he or she will hand their craft off to either a merchant or a weapon/armor-smith for use in item creation. Gaining experience as a wood-smith, a glass-blower, and as a tailor is a must, requiring apprenticeship in all before taking this task. Detailed marble descriptions are found here. Smithing Example: Yakou-san has a very.... interesting father figure in his life. This father figure was always sequestered behind closed doors at night, chanting, praying, or yelling very specific scientific obscenities. Holy sounds would emanated from under the floorboards, illusionary demons would fly through the curtains, and a chemical distillery churned away with its bubblings in the background. Rough ores and various items would go in by day, and come out as strange variable marbles by night. Nobody questions this man's practices, so long as the steady flow of marbles keeps on coming. Requirements: Apprentice rank in woodworking, glassblowing, and tailoring. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Infusion Artificer'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version.

Gear-smithing Description: A rare occupation, it usually involves creating and tinkering with anything mechanically complex, including grandfather clocks, trains, and chakra-intense items. They usually have a large workshop situated on even larger parcel of land that contains vehicle lifts, piles of unused gears, ominous robots, and many cabinets full of wrenches, ratchets, and rusty nails. These folks can create nearly anything needed by the populace for heavy duty use, including engines, carts, elevator systems, and rudimentary monitors. After producing an item, he or she will hand their craft off to a whitesmith for finishing up. Gaining experience as a blacksmith, a whitesmith, and one other smithing type is a must, requiring apprenticeship in all before taking this task. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's sister is almost as battle-hardened as his wife, only with the mechanical kind. Having taken herself to task on putting clocks into every nook and cranny of the local towns, her delicate placing of gears into gears, springs into winding gizmos, and craftswomanship for intricate dealings is only surpassed by her crazy side jobs. Using train lifts, she is able to replace parts underneath trains with ease, help with making complex shipyards, and design new kinds of elevators for the Wind Country's city of Rouran. Every once in a while, she has to refer to her Book of Gelel to help with repairing mechanical items that run on the ever elusive stone. Requirements: Apprentice rank in blacksmithing, whitesmithing, and one other smithing type. Training times: 10 jobs for 'Apprentice Gear-Smith'. 10 more jobs for the 'Journeyman' version. 5 more posts for the 'Master' version, with an additional 5 more for the 'Grandmaster' version.

Pharmaceutical Chemist Description: A less common occupation, it usually involves creating and tinkering with anything that deals with drugs, poisons, viruses, and diseases. They usually have a small laboratory situated in or around a hospital, to provide both security and a constantly sterile environment. These folks can create nearly anything needed by the shinobi populace for general medical use, including painkillers, knockout gas, lethal mists, and body altering substances. After producing an item, he or she will keep the substances from deteriorating, until their natural time passes. This is different from Eiseijutsu's Souzou Dokubutsu [ Poison Creation ], in which the latter is instantaneous, whereas the former takes time and proper handling to create and maintain. Gaining experience as a glass-blower and a botanist is a must, requiring apprenticeship in both before taking this task. Smithing Example: Yakou-san's second cousin works for the hospital, deep in its recesses as a pharmaceutical chemist.
