Chronoromancer Wealth Guide

A complete reference for earning money across all three eras. Covers pocket-change street work, part-time jobs, proficiency careers, gambling, dungeon loot, investments, and the brothel passive-income empire.

---

Overview: The Wealth Progression Ladder

Money in Chronoromancer comes from many sources, and each unlocks at a different stage of your character's development. Here's the rough ladder:

1. Day 1 broke-but-willing work — Busking or Flyer Distribution in Downtown
2. Stat 10-15 part-time jobs — 14 different Present Era jobs
3. Stat 15 specialist jobs — Bouncer, Sparring Partner, Lifeguard (better pay, stat/time-gated)
4. Stat 30 proficiency career — your main long-term income job tied to your proficiency
5. Investments — passive income from $50 coffee shops up to multi-million-dollar enterprises
6. Dungeon loot — chests, skull tiles, treasure piles, scenario rewards
7. Gambling & minigames — Vera's bar games, fishing
8. The Brothel — your late-game passive empire

Most mid-game runs look like: morning proficiency career shift → afternoon dungeon or training → evening brothel management → daily investment cash-out. That's your wealth engine.

---

1 — Day 1 Income: Busking and Flyers

Two jobs are available the moment you arrive at the Downtown City Street (a free-travel location with no stat gates):

Busking — Street Music for Tips

Location: Downtown City Street Hours: Available 24/7 (no time gate) Time cost: 60 min Energy/Calm cost: −30 energy, −30 calm Formula: Creativity × 2 + random(1, 10) Skill bonus: Master Performer doubles the Creativity multiplier (×2 → ×4)

At Creativity 10 without Master Performer: roughly $21-30 per session. With Master Performer: $41-50 per session. Creativity 20 with skill: $81-90 per session.

Who starts with Master Performer: The Musician proficiency begins with this skill. Others must learn it through the Bards Guild (more on that later). If you're Musician, busking is a genuinely strong early income source.

Math tip: Every point of Creativity = +$2 per session base, +$4 with Master Performer. Train Creativity at the Music Studio as soon as you can.

Distribute Flyers — Zero-Requirement Work

Location: Downtown City Street Hours: 8 AM - 8 PM Time cost: 45 min Energy/Calm cost: −20 energy, −15 calm Formula: Communication × 1 + random(1, 8) Skill bonus: None

At Communication 10: roughly $11-18 per session. This is your floor — it exists so you're never truly broke. Not glamorous, but you can do 5-6 shifts in a day and earn $60-100 with no stat gates at all.

Day 1 Strategy

• Musician proficiency: Busk all day. You'll earn more than any other Day 1 option.
• Other proficiencies: Alternate Flyers and Busking until your core stat hits 10, then switch to part-time jobs.
• Always broke: Flyers is your safety net. No stat requirement means it's always available.

---

2 — Part-Time Jobs (Stat 10-15)

Once one of your core stats hits 10, a whole tier of part-time jobs opens up. There are 14 part-time jobs scattered across Uptown and Downtown Present Era locations, each tied to a specific stat.

Universal formula for part-time jobs: Stat × Multiplier + random(min, max). Some have skill bonuses of ×1.5.

All share:

• 60 min time cost
• Energy/calm cost varies (see table)
• No stat growth chance (these are pure income, not training)

Uptown Part-Time Jobs

Downtown Part-Time Jobs

Key Observations

Bouncer is the highest-paying part-time job. It's the only part-time with a ×1.5 stat multiplier. At Strength 20 with Intimidating Presence: roughly $57-67 per shift. Pair it with Bar Back for full evening coverage.

Night jobs exist — Bar Back (5 PM-2 AM) and Bouncer (9 PM-3 AM) are crucial if your proficiency career only runs daytime hours.

Every core stat has a part-time job — whatever your build, there's work. Even low-stat characters can get by with Dishwasher or Stock Shelves.

Part-time jobs have NO stat growth. They're pure income. Train your stats separately at the Gym, University, etc.

---

3 — Proficiency Careers (Stat 30+)

Once your primary stat hits 30, your proficiency career unlocks — these are your real long-term income jobs.

Universal formula: random(stat, stat × 2) + 15 Time cost: 60 min Energy cost: −30 (no calm cost) Stat growth chance: 8% per shift (+1 to primary stat) Skill bonus: ×2.0 multiplier with the proficiency's key skill

Proficiency Career Table

Income Expectations

Without skill bonus:

• Stat 30: ~$45-75 per shift
• Stat 50: ~$65-115 per shift
• Stat 80: ~$95-175 per shift

With proficiency skill (×2.0 multiplier): double all of those. At Stat 50 + skill: ~$130-230 per shift. That's the real breakpoint where money stops being a constraint.

The Jack of All Trades Penalty

If you chose Jack of All Trades as your proficiency, you get a massive unlock — you can work every proficiency career once you have the stat requirement. But there's a catch:

Jack of All Trades earns 70% of normal income on all proficiency careers. So a Stat 30 shift that would pay $45-75 normally pays $31-52 for a Jack character.

Bypass: The Buffer Optimization upgrade (Patreon-gated content) removes this penalty entirely.

Why pick Jack anyway? Flexibility. If you want to run 3-4 different stat builds in one playthrough, Jack lets you switch careers without being locked into one proficiency's job. For most players it's a trade-off, not a nerf.

Non-Proficiency Universal Careers

Two additional career-tier jobs don't require any specific proficiency:

Chef (Restaurant, Downtown):

• Requirement: Cooking 30+
• Hours: 10 AM-10 PM
• Same formula: random(Cook, Cook × 2) + 15
• Skill: Creative Cooking ×2.0
• Unique perk: Fills your satiation to MAX every shift — you save food costs every time you work here. At high Cooking stats, this is the best job in the game.

Broker (Investment Planning, Office Building):

• Requirement: Commerce 30+
• Hours: 9 AM-5 PM
• Special formula: random((Charm + Communication), (Commerce + Intelligence)) + Luck
• Skill: Market Analysis ×2.0

The Broker has the highest income ceiling in the game. Four different stats feed into the formula plus Luck. At all four stats at 50 plus Luck 30: income range would be roughly $130-230 before the ×2 skill bonus. With Market Analysis skill: $260-460 per shift. The late-game money-making king.

Commerce skill also boosts investments separately (see Section 6) — Broker is the single most synergistic career path.

---

4 — Vera's Bar Minigames (Gambling Income)

The Downtown Bar is a popular evening spot run by Vera — and she runs four different minigames you can play for money. These serve three purposes:

1. Direct income when you win (or losses when you don't)
2. Vera's romance gates trigger at specific net-winnings thresholds
3. Pure entertainment — they're well-designed minigames

All four are pure optional content. If gambling isn't your style, you can skip this section entirely.

The Four Games

Liar's Dice

• Classic bluffing dice game — 5 dice each, 1s count as wild
• Wager tiers: from low-stakes casual (just drinks) up through $10 / $25 / $50 / $75 / $100
• Higher wagers = smarter Vera AI. At $100 she's genuinely tough to bluff
• Double-or-nothing can appear mid-game for a big risk/reward spike
• Helpful skills: Cheating and Reading People improve your odds

Darts (369)

• Skill-based throwing game — race to zero from 369, must finish on a double
• Fixed stakes per game, no betting tier selection
• Pure dexterity minigame (timing-based click), improves with practice more than stats
• Win gives money and relationship points with Vera; loss costs Vera relationship

Christmas Hold'em

• Poker variant — jokers wild
• Pot-based — bets accumulate through raises, strong hands can pay hundreds
• Vera has a fixed bankroll — draining it completely triggers a special scene
• Ante tiers: $10 / $50 / $100 (Low / Medium / High)

Blackjack

• Classic 21 against Vera as dealer
• Standard blackjack rules
• Money flows based on hand outcomes

Vera's Romance Gates (Net Winnings Tracked)

The game tracks your cumulative net winnings/losses across ALL four Vera games combined in a single vera_net figure. At specific thresholds, romance plots unlock:

This is a unique romance path — most NPCs are gated by talk/gift grinding, but Vera is gated by gambling skill. If you enjoy the minigames, you're effectively progressing two things at once.

Strategy Notes

• Gambling is variance, not reliable income. Don't bet rent money.
• Start small. Play low-wager Liar's Dice and Darts to learn the patterns before scaling up.
• Darts has no money floor — you can't go broke from bad darting — the stakes are fixed per game.
• Christmas Hold'em has the biggest upside — draining Vera's full bankroll is a big payday.
• Skills that help gambling: Silver Tongue, Reading People, Sleight of Hand (learned at Mystic Curiosities), Deception, Cheating.
• Late-game Vera also teaches Intimate Communication and related skills as her relationship deepens.

5 — Fishing: A Steady Supplemental Income

Location: Fishing Hut (Medieval Outskirts, Fishing Village) — also accessible at Present Era Docks for some fishing activities Requires: The Fishing Lesson from Marina (first-time tutorial)

Fishing is a minigame where you navigate a boat through water, collecting rings that represent fish catches. It's primarily a minigame, but it produces real income.

How Fishing Pays

• Each fish caught has a rarity (common, rare, epic)
• Fish are sold at the Fishing Hut or directly to Marina for their market value
• Rare and epic catches pay significantly more than common fish
• Legendary fish (including the Leviathan) pay major one-time rewards

Fishing Progression

• First: Get the Fishing Lesson from Marina (Fishing Hut, 4 AM-5 PM)
• Use Fishing Bait (mystery item) as an early boost to catch rates
• Boat upgrades from Marina (scaling costs: $5,000 → $15,000 → $50,000) increase fishing speed and range
• Helpful skills: Master Baiter (better rarity/spawn rates), Fry Fish (cook catches for food)

When to Use Fishing for Income

Fishing is not your primary income strategy — it pays less per minute than a proficiency career. But it's excellent when:

• You're relaxing between bigger activities
• Your Stamina/Calm are depleted for standard work
• You want to train Perception and Luck passively
• You're farming the 10-species Tutorial Quest reward (+400 wealth bonus)

For most players, fishing is a "fun break" income supplement rather than a core strategy.

---

6 — Dungeon Crawling: Loot, Gold, and Treasure

The dungeon (accessed via Medieval Monastery Scriptoria) is one of the richest sources of wealth in the game — but it's also dangerous. Expect to walk out with $200-500+ per run by Floor 5-10, rising sharply as you push deeper.

Sources of Dungeon Wealth

Treasure Chests

• Locked chests spawn on each floor
• Requires a Strength or Ability check to force open, OR Lockpicking skill to bypass
• Gold reward scales with floor level (deeper = more gold)
• Lockpicking is the single most valuable dungeon skill — learn it at the Thieves Guild

Skull Tiles

• Trapped tiles that test your Luck
• Successful check = one-time treasure equivalent to a chest
• Failed check = you take damage or lose stats
• Perception 22+ skill: see the warning signs

Treasure Piles

• Large floor-level treasure stashes
• Perception 22+ avoids a trap version of this tile
• Luck check doubles the payout — building Luck pays off here

Dragon Coins

• Premium currency found on tiles and from scenario rewards
• Spent at dungeon merchants (not usable at surface shops)
• Used for rare consumables, skills, and high-tier equipment

Glow Tiles (Green / Yellow / Blue)

• Step on them for random rewards
• Drops include: consumables, crafting resources, Dragon Coins, small gold
• Free loot with no risk

Scenario Rewards

• Random scenarios (8% trigger rate per step) can award gold, stats, Dragon Coins, or key items
• The Vampire Ring scenario gives the permanent "1 Ring" key item (+1 to all relationship gains) — not gold, but priceless
• Goldman scenario (Floor 5+) — Storytelling skill unlocks a dialogue path for major gold

Dungeon Income Expectations

Actual amounts depend on RNG — a lucky run with multiple chests, skull wins, and good scenario rolls can easily double these figures.

Dungeon Strategy Tips

• Learn Lockpicking first. Never miss a chest.
• Build Luck to 25+ before pushing deep — treasure piles, skull tiles, and scenario rolls all benefit.
• Bring food. Running out of energy mid-dungeon ends your run badly.
• Perfect Metabolism skill (Future Era) reduces food consumption — useful for marathon runs.
• Strong bosses on specific floors — see the main Early Game Walkthrough Section 7 for miniboss-by-miniboss details.

7 — The Investment System: Passive Wealth at Scale

Location: Investment Planning (Downtown → Office Building → Investment Planning desk)

The Investment System is where wealth becomes real. 50 investments are available, each with 5 upgrade levels, ranging from a $50 Coffee Shop to a $1,000,000 Space Mining operation. Once purchased, they generate passive daily income that accumulates while you play — you just visit the desk and cash out.

How It Works

Daily Income Formula: Daily Income = (Total Cumulative Cost Invested) ÷ 50

Every investment pays back its full cumulative cost in 50 days. Past that, it's pure profit forever. This is why investments are mathematically always worth it given enough time.

Example — Coffee Shop:

• Level 1: $50 → ~$1/day
• Level 2: $50 + $75 = $125 cumulative → ~$2.50/day (Level 1 daily income increases with upgrade)
• Level 3: $125 + $110 = $235 cumulative → ~$4.70/day
• Level 5 max: ~$13/day from a single $650 total investment

Risk Tiers and Variance:

High-risk investments average the same payout as Low-risk over many days — but individual days can be $0 or 2× jackpots. Keep this in mind when planning daily cash flow.

Starter Investment Menu (best early buys)

Rule of thumb: Buy every Low-risk investment at Level 1 as fast as possible. They're the reliable foundation. Then start upgrading.

Multipliers That Stack

Four separate bonuses multiply your investment income:

Math check on Commerce: Commerce 50 = +5% income. Commerce 100 = +10%. Not huge, but it stacks with everything.

The Investment Savvy priority: Two paths — Portia's Villa apartment H2H (deep romance arc, requires 600+ relationship and prior H2H completions) OR Arestes (Thieves Guild Hidden Chamber, just needs Known+ relationship, Intelligence 19, and $500). Arestes is the faster route for a wealth-focused build; Portia is the route if you're already romancing her. Either way, the 15% discount on every investment purchase forever is enormous. On $100k in late-game investments, that's $15,000 saved. Absolute top-priority skill for any serious wealth player.

Investment Strategy by Phase

Early game (Day 1-20):

• Buy Coffee Shop ($50) and Barbershop ($80) as your very first investments
• Upgrade them to Level 2-3 before buying new ones
• Passive income: $5-10/day

Mid game (Day 20-50):

• Max all Low-risk investments to Level 5
• Add Medium-risk if you have cash surplus
• Passive income: $50-150/day

Late game (Day 50+):

• Push into big-ticket investments ($10k+)
• Consider High-risk for upside variance (if you can afford $0 days)
• Passive income: $500-5,000+/day

Investment Cash-Out

Income accumulates passively while you play. Visit the Investment Planning desk and click Cash Out to collect. There's no penalty for letting it accumulate — only a mental/UI reminder to check it periodically.

---

8 — The Brothel: Your Late-Game Wealth Engine

Location: Medieval Era → King's Demesne → The Brothel Unlock: Complete the 7-step Brothel Quest Chain (see Early Game Walkthrough Section 6)

Once you own the brothel, it becomes the single largest source of passive income in the game. Workers serve clients, you collect nightly revenue, and the scaling multipliers compound over time.

How Brothel Income Works

Each night, every worker you've assigned to a room generates revenue based on:

• Worker stats (Charisma, Stamina, Intelligence affect earnings)
• Worker loyalty (higher loyalty = better performance)
• Room upgrade level (Level 1-5 rooms with scaling income)
• Decor upgrades (up to +25% income at Decor Level 5)
• Cleanliness (below 60% tanks income — hire maids!)
• Reputation Level (20 tiers of scaling multipliers)
• Service Room Apprentices (+5% each, up to 3 apprentices, +15% total)
• Christmas Wreath decoration (+5%)
• Buffer Optimization / Patreon Master (+5%)

Reputation Scaling — The Biggest Multiplier

The Brothel has 20 Reputation Levels. Each level increases your income multiplier. At Reputation 10+, a well-run brothel dwarfs any manual income source in the game. At Reputation 15-20, a single night's earnings can exceed a full day of proficiency career work.

How to build reputation:

• Successful client satisfactions
• Room cleanliness maintained
• Worker variety and quality
• Promotion Level (separate from Reputation) multiplies gain rates
• Special events (Christmas, Valentine, etc.) boost reputation

Key Investments Into The Brothel

In rough priority order:

1. Hire maids immediately after purchasing. Dirty rooms = lost income. Chronic cleanliness is the #1 reason new brothel owners lose money.
2. Upgrade room capacity first, then decor. More workers serving = more revenue. Then decor scaling kicks in.
3. Recruit high-stat workers. Better stats = better per-client earnings. See the character walkthroughs for recruitment paths (Honey, Fernando's clothing plots lead to workers, etc.).
4. Build Service Room Apprentices to max (+15% total). One-time unlocks, ongoing bonus.
5. Keep reputation momentum. Every client served well = small rep bump. Every failed satisfaction = rep loss.

Brothel Strategy Flow

Week 1 after purchase:

• Hire 1-2 maids for cleanliness
• Starting workers get assigned to Level 1 rooms
• Run daily routine: check cleanliness, refresh supplies, assign workers

Week 2-4:

• Upgrade room 1 to Level 2-3
• Start recruiting named workers via their questlines
• Pay attention to Worker Loyalty — low-loyalty workers underperform

Month 2+:

• Expand to more rooms
• Push Decor to Level 3-5 in signature rooms
• Reputation Level 10+ = serious income
• Start buying high-ticket investments from brothel profits

Long-term:

• 20+ workers, all rooms at Decor Level 5, Reputation 15+
• Nightly income: $3,000-10,000+ depending on scaling
• Combined with maxed investments and Broker shifts: you're earning more than you can spend

Useful Brothel-Adjacent Skills & Systems

• Leadership skill boosts worker performance
• Commerce affects brothel economic decisions
• Worker Item System — equipment for workers, earned via Fighters Guild quests
• Room-specific bonuses — some rooms have unique client types with unique pay scales
• The Daily Events System — periodic events can boost or harm a given day's income

For comprehensive brothel management details beyond what wealth requires, refer to the Brothel Management Documentation.

9 — Daily Strategy: Stacking Income Streams

By mid-game, you should be running multiple income streams simultaneously. Here's a realistic daily schedule that maximizes earnings without burning out on any single activity.

Sample Mid-Game Day (Stat 30+, Brothel Owned)

7-8 AM: Visit Investment Planning, cash out overnight earnings ($50-500+) 8-10 AM: Proficiency career shift (or Broker/Chef if Commerce/Cooking build) 10 AM-12 PM: Dungeon run — Floor 5-10 for chests, scenarios, skull tiles 12-1 PM: Eat/rest, upgrade equipment if materials gathered 1-4 PM: Second career shift OR romance building (relationships also contribute value) 4-6 PM: Brothel management — collect revenue, check cleanliness, make upgrades 6-9 PM: Romance progression, Tutorial Quests, story beats 9 PM-Midnight: Bouncer OR Nightclub Promoter (evening income), or Vera's bar games

Total daily income (rough): $500-2,000+ depending on luck, brothel scale, and investments Plus: Continuous stat growth, relationship building, story progression

Income Priority Ladder Recap

When deciding what to do for money, check your tier:

Efficiency Tips

Always prefer stat-training when possible. Part-time jobs give no stat growth — proficiency careers give 8%. The difference compounds massively over 20+ days.

Stack career skills. A Scholar with Researching + Material Science doubles their teacher income. Every proficiency has a matching ×2 skill — learn it first chance you get.

Don't hoard cash. Idle money earns nothing. $100 in your pocket does less than $100 in a Barbershop investment.

The "Sleep Strategy" reminder: Sleeping passes 8 hours and fully restores energy/calm. That's 8 hours of investment earnings accruing while you "do nothing." Multiple investment cash-outs per day.

Perfect combo: Chef + Satiation. If you have Cooking 30+, Chef is the only job that fills your satiation to max per shift — saving $20-50 in food costs and freeing another time slot.

Skills Every Wealth-Focused Player Should Learn

In rough priority:

What NOT to Do

• Don't grind part-time jobs past Stat 30. Your proficiency career pays 2-5× more.
• Don't gamble on Vera games unless you can afford to lose. They're variance-based.
• Don't skip Investment Savvy. 15% off investments forever is too good to pass up.
• Don't let the brothel drop below 60% cleanliness. You'll lose more to bad reputation than maid wages cost.
• Don't fish as primary income. It's a great break activity but a weak main strategy.

概述：财富进阶阶梯

Chronoromancer中的金钱来源众多，每一种都会在角色发展的不同阶段解锁。大致进阶顺序如下：

1. 第1天身无分文也能做的工作——在市中心街头表演或分发传单
2. 属性10—15的兼职——现在时代共有14种不同工作
3. 属性15的专业兼职——保安、陪练伙伴、救生员（报酬更高，但受属性和时段限制）
4. 属性30的专长职业——与你的专长绑定，是长期主要收入来源
5. 投资——从$50的咖啡店到价值数百万美元的企业，持续提供被动收入
6. 地下城战利品——宝箱、骷髅地块、宝藏堆和情景奖励
7. 赌博与小游戏——Vera的酒吧游戏、钓鱼
8. 青楼——你的后期被动收入帝国

大多数中期玩法的日程大致如下：上午从事专长职业→下午探索地下城或训练→晚上管理青楼→每天收取投资收益。这就是你的财富引擎。

---

1——第1天收入：街头表演与传单

抵达 城市街道（市中心） 后，立即就能从事两种工作。这里可免费前往，也没有属性门槛：

街头表演——用音乐赚取小费

地点： 城市街道（市中心） 时段： 24/7开放（无时段限制） 时间消耗： 60分钟 精力／镇定消耗： －30精力、－30镇定 公式： Creativity × 2 + random(1, 10) 技能加成： Master Performer会使创造力倍率 翻倍（×2→×4）

创造力10且没有表演大师时，每场大约赚取 $21—30。拥有表演大师后，每场约为 $41—50。创造力20并拥有该技能时，每场约为 $81—90。

谁会自带表演大师： 音乐家专长开局即拥有该技能，其他角色必须通过吟游诗人公会学习（详见后文）。如果你选择了音乐家，街头表演确实是很强的前期收入来源。

计算提示： 每点创造力会让每场基础收入增加$2；拥有表演大师时则增加$4。一有机会，就尽快在音乐工作室训练创造力。

分发传单——零门槛工作

地点： 城市街道（市中心） 时段： 上午8点至晚上8点 时间消耗： 45分钟 精力／镇定消耗： －20精力、－15镇定 公式： Communication × 1 + random(1, 8) 技能加成： 无

沟通10时，每次大约赚取 $11—18。这是你的收入下限保障——确保你永远不会真正身无分文。虽然并不光鲜，但一天能做5—6班，在完全没有属性门槛的情况下赚取$60—100。

第1天策略

• 音乐家专长： 全天进行街头表演。收入会超过第1天的任何其他选择。
• 其他专长： 交替分发传单和街头表演，直到核心属性达到10，再改做兼职。
• 总是没钱： 传单是你的安全网。没有属性要求，意味着它永远可用。

---

2——兼职（属性10—15）

任意一项核心属性达到10后，就会解锁完整的兼职层级。现在时代的上城区和市中心共有 14种兼职，每种都与特定属性绑定。

兼职通用公式： Stat × Multiplier + random(min, max)。部分工作拥有×1.5的技能加成。

共同规则：

• 时间消耗均为60分钟
• 精力／镇定消耗各不相同（见表格）
• 不会触发属性成长（这些工作只提供收入，不属于训练）

上城区兼职

市中心兼职

重要观察

保安是收入最高的兼职。 它是唯一拥有×1.5属性倍率的兼职。力量20并拥有威慑气场时，每班大约赚取 $57—67。与酒吧勤杂搭配，就能覆盖整个晚间时段。

夜间工作确实存在——如果你的专长职业只在白天开放，酒吧勤杂（下午5点至凌晨2点）和保安（晚上9点至凌晨3点）就格外重要。

每项核心属性都有对应兼职——无论选择什么流派，都有工作可做。即使属性较低，也可以靠洗碗工或补货上架维持生计。

兼职完全不会提升属性。 它们只提供收入。请另外前往健身房、大学等地点训练属性。

---

3——专长职业（属性30以上）

主要属性达到30后，你的 专长职业 便会解锁——这些才是真正的长期收入工作。

通用公式： random(stat, stat × 2) + 15 时间消耗： 60分钟 精力消耗： －30（不消耗镇定） 属性成长概率： 每班8%（主要属性＋1） 技能加成： 拥有该专长的关键技能时，应用×2.0倍率

专长职业表

收入预期

没有技能加成时：

• 属性30： 每班~$45-75
• 属性50： 每班~$65-115
• 属性80： 每班~$95-175

拥有专长技能（×2.0倍率）时：以上数值全部翻倍。 属性50并拥有技能时，每班约为$130—230。这是真正的分水岭；从这里开始，金钱不再是主要限制。

万事通的收入惩罚

如果选择 万事通 作为专长，你会获得一项极大的解锁：只要满足属性要求，就能从事 所有专长职业。但这也有代价：

万事通从所有专长职业获得的收入只有正常值的70%。 因此，属性30时原本能赚$45—75的一班，万事通角色只能赚$31—52。

规避方式： 缓冲优化 升级（Patreon限定内容）可以彻底移除这项惩罚。

那为什么还要选万事通？ 因为灵活。如果想在同一轮游戏中尝试3—4种不同的属性流派，万事通能让你自由换工作，而不必受单一专长职业限制。对大多数玩家来说，这是取舍，而不是单纯削弱。

不限专长的通用职业

另有两项职业级工作不要求特定专长：

厨师（餐厅，市中心）：

• 要求：烹饪30以上
• 时段：上午10点至晚上10点
• 相同公式：random(Cook, Cook × 2) + 15
• 技能：创意烹饪×2.0
• 独特优势：每班都会将饱腹感补至上限——每次在这里工作都能省下食物费用。烹饪属性较高时，这是游戏中最好的工作。

经纪人（投资规划，办公楼）：

• 要求：商业30以上
• 时段：上午9点至下午5点
• 特殊公式： random((Charm + Communication), (Commerce + Intelligence)) + Luck
• 技能：市场分析×2.0

经纪人拥有 全游戏最高的收入上限。 四项不同属性都会计入公式，此外还会加上运气。四项属性均为50且运气为30时，应用×2技能加成前的收入范围约为 $130-230。拥有市场分析技能后，每班可达 $260-460。它是后期当之无愧的赚钱之王。

商业属性还会另外提高投资收益（参见第6节）——经纪人是协同性最高的单一职业路线。

---

4——Vera的酒吧小游戏（赌博收入）

市中心酒吧 是由 Vera 经营的热门夜间去处，她提供四种可以赢钱的小游戏。这些游戏有三个用途：

1. 直接收入——获胜赚钱，落败则亏钱
2. Vera的恋爱门槛——累计净赢额达到特定数值时触发
3. 纯粹娱乐——这些小游戏本身设计得相当出色

四项游戏都属于完全可选内容。如果不喜欢赌博，可以直接跳过本节。

四项游戏

吹牛骰

• 经典虚张声势骰子游戏——双方各有5枚骰子，1点为万能点数
• 赌注等级：从低注娱乐（只赌酒钱）到$10／$25／$50／$75／$100
• 赌注越高，Vera的AI就越聪明。赌到$100时，她真的很难骗过
• 游戏中途可能出现 翻倍或归零，风险与回报都会猛增
• 实用技能：作弊 和 识人术 可以提高胜算

飞镖（369）

• 依靠操作的投掷游戏——从369分开始抢先归零，最后一镖必须投中双倍区
• 每局赌注固定，不能选择下注等级
• 纯敏捷小游戏（按时机点击），熟能生巧，属性影响反而较小
• 获胜会获得金钱和Vera好感度；落败则会损失Vera好感度

圣诞德州扑克

• 扑克变体——鬼牌可作万能牌
• 采用底池制——加注会不断累积赌金，强力牌型可能赢得数百美元
• Vera拥有固定赌本——将她的钱全部赢光会触发特殊剧情
• 底注等级：$10／$50／$100（低／中／高）

二十一点

• 经典21点，Vera担任庄家
• 采用标准二十一点规则
• 金钱会根据每手牌的结果流入或流出

Vera的恋爱门槛（追踪净赢额）

游戏会将你在Vera全部四项游戏中的 累计净赢额／净亏额 合并记录在同一个vera_net数值中。达到特定门槛后，会解锁恋爱剧情：

这是一条独特的恋爱路线——大多数NPC受交谈／送礼刷取限制，Vera却取决于你的赌博水平。如果喜欢这些小游戏，就等于在同时推进两项内容。

策略说明

• 赌博充满波动，不能当作可靠收入。 不要拿房租下注。
• 从小额开始。 先玩低注吹牛骰和飞镖，熟悉规律后再提高赌注。
• 飞镖没有资金门槛——投得再差也不会输到破产——每局赌注固定。
• 圣诞德州扑克的收益上限最高——赢光Vera的全部赌本会带来一笔巨款。
• 有助于赌博的技能： 巧舌如簧、识人术、手法技巧（在神秘珍奇商店学习）、欺骗、作弊。
• 后期的Vera 还会随着关系加深，传授亲密沟通及相关技能。

5——钓鱼：稳定的补充收入

地点： 渔屋（中世纪郊外，渔村）——部分钓鱼活动也可从现在时代的码头进入 要求： 向Marina学习钓鱼课程（首次教程）

钓鱼是一项小游戏：你要驾驶小船穿行水面，收集代表渔获的圆环。它主要是娱乐小游戏，但确实能带来收入。

钓鱼如何赚钱

• 每条钓到的鱼都有一种 稀有度（普通、稀有、史诗）
• 可以在渔屋或直接向Marina按市场价值出售鱼获
• 稀有和史诗渔获的售价远高于普通鱼
• 传说鱼（包括 虚空利维坦）会提供丰厚的一次性奖励

钓鱼进度

• 首先向Marina学习钓鱼课程（渔屋，凌晨4点至下午5点）
• 前期使用 钓鱼饵料（神秘物品）提高捕获率
• 向Marina购买 船只升级（费用依次为$5,000→$15,000→$50,000），提高钓鱼速度和活动范围
• 实用技能： 钓饵大师（提高稀有度／生成率）、煎鱼（将渔获烹饪成食物）

何时用钓鱼赚钱

钓鱼不该成为主要收入策略——按每分钟计算，它的收益低于专长职业。但在以下情况下非常适合：

• 想在大型活动之间放松一下
• 耐力／镇定已经不足以支撑标准工作
• 想被动训练感知和运气
• 正在刷取收集10种鱼的教学任务奖励（财富＋400）

对大多数玩家而言，钓鱼是“有趣的休息活动兼补充收入”，而不是核心赚钱策略。

6——探索地下城：战利品、金币与宝藏

地下城（从中世纪的修道院抄写室进入）是游戏中最富有的财富来源之一——但也危机重重。探索第5—10层时，每趟预计能带出$200—500以上；随着深入，收益还会急剧提高。

地下城财富来源

宝箱

• 每层都会生成上锁的宝箱
• 强行打开需要通过力量或能力检定，也可以用开锁技能 绕过
• 金币奖励随楼层提高（越深，金币越多）
• 开锁是地下城中最有价值的单项技能——请在盗贼公会学习

骷髅地块

• 用运气进行检定的陷阱地块
• 检定成功＝获得与宝箱等值的一次性宝藏
• 检定失败＝受到伤害或损失属性
• 感知22以上：可以看出警示迹象

宝藏堆

• 楼层中的大型财宝储藏
• 感知22以上可以避开该地块的陷阱版本
• 运气检定会使收益翻倍——在这里堆高运气非常划算

龙币

• 可从地块和情景奖励中获得的高级货币
• 用于地下城商人，无法在地表商店使用
• 可购买稀有消耗品、技能和高阶装备

发光地块（绿色／黄色／蓝色）

• 踏上后会获得随机奖励
• 掉落物包括：消耗品、制作资源、龙币、少量金币
• 没有风险的免费战利品

情景奖励

• 随机情景（每走一步有8%触发概率）可能奖励金币、属性、龙币或关键物品
• 吸血鬼戒指情景 会给予永久关键物品“1 Ring”（所有好感度收益＋1）——虽然不是金币，却价值连城
• Goldman情景（第5层以上）——讲故事技能可解锁一条获得大量金币的对话路线

地下城收入预期

实际金额取决于RNG——运气好时若遇到多个宝箱、骷髅检定成功和优质情景判定，收益很容易达到上述数值的两倍。

地下城策略提示

• 优先学习开锁。 不要错过任何宝箱。
• 深入探索前将运气提升至25以上——宝藏堆、骷髅地块和情景判定都能受益。
• 带上食物。 在地下城中途耗尽精力，会让探索以糟糕的方式结束。
• 完美代谢技能（未来时代）会减少食物消耗——很适合长时间探索。
• 特定楼层有强力首领——各个小首领的详情请参阅前期游戏攻略第7节。

7——投资系统：规模化被动财富

地点： 投资规划（市中心→办公楼→投资规划柜台）

投资系统能让财富真正起飞。这里有50项投资，每项分为5个升级等级，从$50的咖啡店到$1,000,000的太空采矿项目不等。购买后，它们会在游玩期间不断累积 每日被动收入——只要前往柜台收取即可。

运作方式

每日收入公式： Daily Income = (Total Cumulative Cost Invested) ÷ 50

每项投资都能在50天内赚回全部累计成本。此后便会永远产生纯利润。因此，从数学上说，只要时间足够，投资一定值得购买。

示例——咖啡店：

• 1级：$50→约$1／天
• 2级：$50＋$75＝累计$125→约$2.50／天（升级会提高1级时的每日收入）
• 3级：$125＋$110＝累计$235→约$4.70／天
• 5级最高：总投资$650，单项每日约$13

风险等级与波动：

长期来看，高风险投资的平均收益与低风险相同——但个别日子可能收入为$0，也可能触发2×大奖。规划每日现金流时请牢记这一点。

新手投资菜单（最佳前期选择）

经验法则： 尽快购买所有低风险投资的1级。它们是可靠的基础，然后再开始升级。

可以叠加的倍率

四项独立加成会共同提高投资收入：

商业属性计算核对：商业50＝收入＋5%，商业100＝＋10%。幅度不算巨大，却能与所有其他加成叠加。

投资眼光优先级： 有两条路线——Portia的别墅公寓谈心（深入恋爱路线，需要600以上好感度并完成先前谈心）或 Arestes（盗贼公会隐藏密室，只要求已知以上关系、智力19和$500）。对于专注财富的流派，Arestes路线更快；如果本来就在攻略Portia，则可选择她的路线。无论如何，永久获得所有投资15%折扣都极其强大。后期投资$100k时，可以省下$15,000。任何认真赚钱的玩家都应将该技能列为最高优先级。

各阶段投资策略

前期（第1—20天）：

• 最先购买咖啡店（$50）和理发店（$80）
• 先将它们升到2—3级，再购买新项目
• 被动收入：每天$5—10

中期（第20—50天）：

• 将所有低风险投资升满至5级
• 现金有余时加入中风险投资
• 被动收入：每天$50—150

后期（第50天以后）：

• 开始购买昂贵投资（$10k以上）
• 为追求上行波动而考虑高风险项目（前提是承受得起收入为$0的日子）
• 被动收入：每天$500—5,000以上

收取投资收益

收入会在游玩期间被动累积。前往投资规划柜台并点击“收取”即可领取。让收益继续累积不会受到任何惩罚——你只需要记得定期查看界面。

8——青楼：后期财富引擎

地点： 中世纪→国王领地→青楼 解锁： 完成由7步组成的青楼任务链（参见前期游戏攻略第6节）

拥有青楼后，它会成为游戏中最大的单一被动收入来源。员工接待客人，你收取每晚营收，各项成长倍率还会随时间复合叠加。

青楼收入如何运作

每晚，分配到房间的每名员工都会根据以下因素创造收入：

• 员工属性（魅力、耐力和智力会影响收入）
• 员工忠诚度（忠诚度越高，表现越好）
• 房间升级等级（1—5级房间，收入逐级增长）
• 装饰升级（装饰等级5时最高可使收入＋25%）
• 清洁度（低于60%会让收入暴跌——快雇女仆！）
• 声誉等级（20个等级，倍率逐级提高）
• 服务室学徒（每人＋5%，最多3人，合计＋15%）
• 圣诞花环 装饰（＋5%）
• 缓冲优化／Patreon大师（＋5%）

声誉成长——最大的倍率

青楼共有20个声誉等级，每一级都会提高收入倍率。声誉达到10级以上时，一家经营良好的青楼会远胜游戏中的任何手动收入来源。达到15—20级后，单晚收入甚至可能超过一整天的专长职业所得。

提高声誉的方法：

• 成功满足客人
• 维持房间清洁度
• 提高员工多样性与质量
• 宣传等级（与声誉相互独立）会提高声誉增长倍率
• 特殊活动（圣诞节、情人节等）会提高声誉

青楼的重点投资

大致按以下顺序进行：

1. 购买青楼后立即雇佣女仆。 房间脏乱＝损失收入。清洁度长期不足，是新任青楼老板亏钱的首要原因。
2. 先升级房间容量，再升级装饰。 能接客的员工越多，收入就越高。之后再让装饰倍率发挥作用。
3. 招募高属性员工。 属性越好，每位客人带来的收入就越高。招募路线请参阅角色攻略（Honey、Fernando的服装剧情等内容会引向员工招募）。
4. 将服务室学徒建满（合计＋15%）。一次解锁，持续提供加成。
5. 维持声誉增长势头。 每次成功服务客人＝小幅提高声誉；每次未能满足客人＝损失声誉。

青楼策略流程

购买后的第1周：

• 雇佣1—2名女仆维持清洁度
• 将初始员工分配到1级房间
• 执行每日流程：检查清洁度、补充物资、分配员工

第2—4周：

• 将1号房间升至2—3级
• 开始通过各自任务线招募具名员工
• 留意员工忠诚度——低忠诚度员工的表现较差

第2个月以后：

• 扩建更多房间
• 将重点房间的装饰提高至3—5级
• 声誉等级10以上＝可观收入
• 开始用青楼利润购买昂贵投资

长期：

• 20名以上员工、所有房间装饰等级5、声誉15以上
• 每晚收入：根据倍率不同，可达$3,000—10,000以上
• 与升满的投资和经纪人轮班相结合：赚到的钱会多得花不完

青楼相关实用技能与系统

• 领导力 技能会提高员工表现
• 商业 会影响青楼经济决策
• 员工物品系统——通过战士公会任务获得员工装备
• 房间专属加成——部分房间拥有独特客群，其付费标准也不同
• 每日事件系统——周期性事件可能提高或损害当天收入

如需了解财富管理范畴以外的完整青楼经营细节，请参阅青楼管理文档。

9——每日策略：叠加收入来源

进入中期后，你应该同时经营 多种收入来源。以下是一套切实可行的每日安排，既能最大化收入，又不至于把时间全耗在单一活动上。

中期日程示例（属性30以上，已拥有青楼）

上午7—8点： 前往投资规划，收取隔夜收益（$50—500以上） 上午8—10点： 从事专长职业（商业／烹饪流派可选择经纪人／厨师） 上午10点至中午12点： 探索地下城——前往第5—10层寻找宝箱、情景和骷髅地块 中午12点至下午1点： 进食／休息；若收集到材料，则升级装备 下午1—4点： 再做一班职业工作，或培养恋爱关系（关系本身也会创造价值） 下午4—6点： 管理青楼——收取营收、检查清洁度、进行升级 晚上6—9点： 推进恋爱关系、教学任务、故事节点 晚上9点至午夜： 做保安或夜店推广员（夜间收入），也可以玩Vera的酒吧游戏

每日总收入（大约）： 根据运气、青楼规模和投资，可达$500—2,000以上 此外： 属性持续成长，并同步培养关系、推进故事

收入优先阶梯回顾

决定如何赚钱时，请先确认自己所处的层级：

效率提示

条件允许时，永远优先选择能训练属性的工作。 兼职不会成长属性，专长职业却有8%概率。经过20天以上的复利积累，差距会变得极其巨大。

叠加职业技能。 拥有研究＋材料科学的学者，会让教师收入翻倍。每项专长都有对应的×2技能——一有机会就先学会它。

不要囤积现金。 闲置金钱不会产生收益。口袋里的$100，作用不如投入理发店的$100。

“睡眠策略”提醒： 睡觉会经过8小时，并完全恢复精力／镇定。也就是说，当你“什么都没做”时，投资收益仍会累积8小时。每天可以多次收取投资收益。

完美组合：厨师＋饱腹感。 烹饪达到30以上时，厨师是唯一能在每班工作后将饱腹感补满的职业——既可节省$20—50食物费，又能腾出一个时间段。

每位财富流玩家都该学习的技能

大致优先顺序如下：

不该做的事

• 属性达到30后，不要继续刷兼职。 专长职业的收入高出2—5倍。
• 承受不起亏损时，不要玩Vera的赌博游戏。 它们充满波动。
• 不要跳过投资眼光。 永久享受投资15%折扣，绝对不容错过。
• 不要让青楼清洁度降至60%以下。 不良声誉带来的损失，会超过女仆工资。
• 不要把钓鱼当作主要收入。 它很适合用来休息，却不是强力的核心策略。
