Preparing an NPC for adventures and combat

You can add any NPC to your combat group by clicking on the Add Follower button next to their Interaction shortcut (see screenshot).

Add an NPC to your follower group by clicking on this button.

Adding NPCs as a Follower immediately terminates their current job assignments.

Clicking that button again removes the NPC from your combat group and reassigns him to his earlier assignment..

Most NPC character quests require that you've assigned the NPC to your group in order to resolve his or her quest.

Weapons and gear

You can arm an NPC from its Inventory which you're able to access either through the NPC Menu (second screenshot) or through the NPCs>Inventory button while out on adventures (third screenshot).

You can access an NPC's Inventory through this shortcut in the bottom right corner while navigating the NPC Menu.

Any weapons/armor equipped through this menu will be transferred from the player's inventory to the NPC.

You can also access an NPC's Inventory directly from its Inventory button while out on adventures.

Herald

• Daily income: Influence points; see below
• Daily cost: None
• Hours: 9-5
• Age: Any
• Risks: None

A Herald travels Ikaanos spreading her household's good name, hoping to increase its status and influence. As long as your Herald has an Affection of Neutral or above, and is not Angry, they will increase your Influence by +2 per day minimum, and possibly a lot more depending on relevant Skills and Attributes detailed below.

• Hours: 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
• Age: Any
• Risks: High!

NPCs assigned as Scavengers go out all day searching for scrap and other things which can be sold on or processed into their useful constituents. Each day, each Scavenger will try to bring back some Merchandise. Their chances are helped by having high Intelligence, Survival skill, and particularly if they have the natural affinity for the job indicated by the Scavenger trait. Having this trait also means they might find stuff much more valuable than Merchandise.

N.B. The siblings Laika and Loden both have this trait, and if sent Scavenging on the same day, will work together to bring home extra Merchandise (up to +6), and maybe extra tendstims too. (Don't ask them where they get this loot!)

Stores

General Store (Roo's assistant)

• Daily Income: $25
• Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Age: 19 or younger
• Risks: Low

Working at your neighbour Abbot Roo's General Store in Redhaven is a relatively easy assignment, that'll not cost your slave any significant stamina or risk of injury. Roo however has hungry eyes and wandering hands, only accepts teenage girls for the job, and hints that they may be expected to provide oral "stress relief" if he's having a bad day.

Devious Tools (product demonstrator)

• Daily Income: $50
• Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Age: 35 or younger
• Risks: High!
• Requirements: 50+ Corruption OR Willpower 9-

Working at Devious Tools in the otherwise-reputable Whitehaven district affects both mind and body in many ways. A girl must endure prodding customers, spontaneous orgies and the cruelty from Miss Devious herself. Only a slave with very high Corruption will appreciate working here, and she can still obtain injuries due to mishaps or reckless customers. The despicable acts your girl will have to endure also require a special mindset.

Effects:

• 16.67% chance +1 Discipline, up to 70.
• 16.67% chance -2 Willpower
• 16.67% chance -2 Happiness, if Corruption is less than 40.

Bookstore (salesperson)

• Daily Income: $25
• Hours: 8.15 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Age: Any
• Risks: Special

Working at Ms. Bouchard's quaint boutique in Whitehaven, the "Secret Garden", is a rather special experience - selling teas, trinkets and all kinds of books; but also hanging out with a very peculiar crowd of other girls - little Everette, proud Maria and the jovial Elsa.

Effects:

• 16.67% chance +1 Willpower
• 16.67% chance +1 Happiness
• 16.67% chance +1 Feminist trait up to 100
• heightened Escape risk if your slave's Anger is Upset or worse (Unconfirmed)

Weapon Store (ammo sorter)

• Daily Income: $15
• Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Age: Any
• Risks: None
• MC Background: Soldier lvl 2 or higher.

If you have a military background, your neighbor Timothy Walton will offer you, as a fellow soldier, a chance to employ one of your slaves as a (low-paid) ammunition sorter at his workshop & store in Redhaven. You believe he's doing this just to be kind, and the task would probably not be very taxing for the person in question. There are no risks involved, other than Exhaustion from the mindless work in the cellar. Being several hours a day in close proximity to Mr Walton's troubled nephew Bud Walton might not add to the pleasantness either.

Nika's Clothes (shop assistant)

• Daily Income: $30
• Hours: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Age: Any
• Risks: None

The proud Russian Nikolai offers one of your staff the opportunity to work at his Westside clothing store, in sales, customer support, and administration. There are no risks involved - Nikolai is a nice guy who treats his employees as friends, not slaves. The shop has a relaxed, fun and supportive atmosphere, which over time will help bring reserved people out of their shells.

Effects:

• 16.67% daily chance that a girl will increase her Charisma up to 60.

Carpenter (assistant)

• Daily Income: $40
• Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Age: 12+
• Risks: Low

Working at Mr. Lombar Kai's Furniture store in South Redhaven involves heavy lifting, cleaning, helping the chief carpenter with administrative chores, and performing basic carpenter assignments. It often involves hard work that builds strength (up to a point), and brings risk of occasional minor injury.

Effects:

• 16.67% daily chance to increase Strength up to 60.
• 16.67% daily chance to lose 10 health, but only if health is 20+.

Golden Dragon (performer)

• Daily Income: $150, $180 if Extroverted
• Hours: 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
• Age: Any
• Risks: Low
• Requirements:
  • Can not have the Shy trait
  • Beauty 60+
  • Charisma 60+
  • Dancing OR Performance 70+

Working as a performer at the upmarket Golden Dragon restaurant in Crystal Hills is an honorable assignment, but it does require a degree of class, and training. Though the restaurant is open late, the shift currently on offer is from lunchtime to early evening - though the girl is expected to arrive earlier to get dressed and rehearse. There are no risks involved other than a very small chance of increased Willpower.

Effects:

• 16.67% daily chance to increase Performance up to 90.
• 16.67% daily chance to increase Charisma up to 80, if Happiness is 60+
• 16.67% daily chance to increase Willpower up to 30, if Happiness is 30+

City Assignments

The Arena

You can send slaves to the Arena's Gladiatrix School, for training, and performance fights. It costs $125 to enrol a slave here, plus $125 per night - and in return the school will teach her combat skills and allow you to schedule her for fights in the Arena. Arena fights are not mandatory, but are a way for your slave to earn you Influence and money. A skilled slave can more than pay for the price of her combat education through fighting. These fights are not to the death, but your slave can be severely wounded in them. If your slave wins, you receive both monetary reward and influence from owning such a skilled slave.

You can enrol 3-6 of your female slaves and other employees in Crystal Hills Arena Gladiatrix School (CHAGS) depending on your Influence (3 spaces for any owner, with extra spaces for those with 15k+, 50k+ and 100k+ Influence) - but you can only arrange one fight per day regardless of how many of your personnel are training there.

• Daily Cost: $125, plus occasional tendstims - but you may also win money on the daily staged fight. And note that food is not included in the fee, and girls assigned here will need extra rations due to the intense physical regimen they are under; without extra food they will lose weight and Happiness. Note also that the act of assigning a girl here costs $125 in addition to the nightly fee.
• Hours: 24 hrs
• Age: 14+
• 15% daily chance to increase Melee combat skill (cap: 80).
• 10% daily chance to increase Ranged combat skill (cap: 60).
• 10% daily chance to increase Discipline (cap: 100).
• 15% daily chance to increase Dexterity (cap 80).
• 15% daily chance to increase Strength (cap: 65).

• Risks: High risk of daily injury even if just training; visit personnel assigned here daily, bringing tendstims.
• Option to have 1 girl a day in a public fight (see below).

To initiate a fight requires you to visit the slave (Interact > Manage NPC). Fights take less than an hour, including travel time to and from the Arena. You get to choose who they fight, and what weapon they will use. Victories bring Influence (+10 to +70) and Money (+$50 to +$3,300); defeats bring severe health point loss, plus permanent reduction to Strength, Dexterity &/or Beauty. The fight can be staged at any time of the day or night. But you can only organize one slave fight per day.

Student

You can pay (on a daily basis) to have any number of your NPCs take classes at The Academy during the day - or, once they are knowledgeable enough and if you'd prioritize earning over learning, you can send up to eight of them there to teach or lecture; there is always demand at the Academy for day-labor "supply teachers" to fill in for absent staff, help students with their work, or assist in practicals.

Evening and Night-Time Assignments

Prostitution Ring

Female NPCs who are willing to work as a Prostitute (Corruption 50+, or Willpower <20, or Nymphomaniac trait) can be assigned to "The Ring" - your own evening prostitution ring - through options on the "Prostitution" interface rather than the "Jobs & Titles" interface.

You can assign them to offer Oral service, Full service, or if their Notoriety is high enough, Escort. They earn increasing amounts of dependent on their Charisma, Oral skill, Corruption, and Affection for you.

The girls do not work unsupervised; you have to institute a Ring session if you want them to work on any particular evening. This option becomes available after 7pm. Clicking the "panties" button will then take you to a screen where you have to choose where in Ikaanos they will work, what rooms they will work from if any, whether you will pay a bribe to the Skyguard to look the other way, or protection money to whichever gang you are on the patch of, or for bodyguards, or for advertising. This can bring in a lot more money than daytime goldwalking, but with risks.

Titles

In addition to Jobs, NPCs can be assigned Titles.

Examples include: Head Maid, Butler, Pantry Girl, Quartermistress, Nanny, Floor Crawler, Head Chef and Nurse. Some of these Titles are for roles which your household can only have one of at a time; for others you can have as many in that role as you like.
