Jobs
Fable Wiki – Your guide to everything Fable.
Jobs are a new type of "quest" in Fable II where the player can make money by playing a small mini-game depending on the job. These jobs can be found in the various towns of the world and include blacksmithing, chopping wood, and bounty hunting, to name a few.
[edit] General Information
[edit] The Specifics
Specifically you make money by working (strange as that sounds), however the amount you earn depends on the quality work you do and what level of promotion you are at the specific job. If you do a good job then you begin to get 'Gold Multipliers'. These will multiply your gold by a set number, however if you make a mistake then your multiplier is gone and you have to restart from scratch and try to build it back up again to earn more gold, which in turn levels you up for a promotion. These promotions can be reached when you get a specified amount of money, which is increased by an exponential amount every promotion, making the higher level promotions harder to get! Every promotion you get gives you more 'Base Money' (money at which the first pint is poured or the first sword is forged) with every promotion that you get, you have to stop your work then get promoted which gives you a higher base wage. The games get increasingly harder and faster as you earn more gold through promotions but even quicker with the higher the multiplier. Jobs are not the most fun thing to do in Albion, but they sure are the easiest ways of getting money, usually legitimately, not forgetting that when you reach a level 5 promotion you unlock an Achievement!
