Just thought id refrain from spamming Ideas wanted forum and expand upon
the idea here. The basic plan is to categorize pre-existing tasks into
certain professions. Once enough tasks of a certain category have been
completed, the player is invited to do work.. in a field, or train as an
apprentice in that profession.

Job - Privateer
- initial job - kill 5 sailors

The premise here is that youre working for one specific continent to cleanse
their waters of dastardly pirates. Of the top of my head, this would work
well to introduce or force players to play around with certain ship features
that they might be unaware of. Benefits to be determined.. possibly a quick
follow feature for random ships?

-Potential jobs.
Get something, deliver something to/from pirate area
Kill pirates in pirate areas. (redtide,VotK nasty harbour)
Sink ships with cannon.
Sink ship with ramming.
Kill ship under a time limit (compass provided)
Kill a ship with a mine.

Profession : Raider

trigger quest-
any quest that involves killing villagers.
- Kill John,Mayor from Brimshire.
- Kill 5 dwarf-gnome guards at mirror mines

Any number of desperate men have found that in this world, there are many
to be preyed upon. This profession encompasses all those who kill helpless
villagers for profit. Profession keeps track of -villagers killed- maybe gives
a means to sell loot.

possible tasks-
-kill 10 different blacksmiths.
-kill all villagers in **** location.
-sell **** amount of loot from certain mobs.
-get **** item from village chief.
-pour poison into the village well.
-abduct **** from this village.

Benefit- Possibly take extra gold, loot from killing villagers?.

Profession : Mercenary

trigger quest
any kill quest involving soldiers, military.
- Kill 3 Lanzia Ogres

You are a soldier of fortune, a fighter who sells his services to the
highest bidder. You roam towns and cities in search of a place where your
unique set of talents are useful; whether for a lord hunting a group of
bandits, or a local barkeep tired of the goblin infestation in his cellar,
you can always find some work if you look hard enough. The job itself
should not matter much for a person like you, at least that is what others
believe. Therefore, other less admirable and shunned upon jobs sometimes
arrives at your lap, giving you the choice and the problem of figuring a
way to compromise between your ethics and your job.

possible tasks-
kill 5 soldiers
scout.
provide weapons.
similar to Raiders, but with generally military targets.


You get the general idea. There are any number of professions that can
be triggered by daily tasks, but should open up a number of related tasks
with the long term grind of giving benefits in that particular field. Amateur
crafting would potentially give someone access to a skill to a limited degree
outside of their milieu.

Profession- Guard
Profession- Bounty Hunter
Profession- Undead Slayer

off the top of my head.
