Your OC's job is the profession on their application—it ties to story and home village. For /job work, use the Roleplay text channel that matches that OC's home village (names below under Village work). The bot rejects the wrong village channel for job commands. /battle wild and /battle challenge work in any village Roleplay channel — see Battling → Wild Pokémon battles.

Each finished shift rolls a focus: Gathering, Combat, Crafting, or Culture. Most jobs draw at random over time. Leader, Guardian, and Sentinel always get Culture. Focus shapes mon, home-village reputation, character XP, item pulls, how often combat can chip HP or leave a short status, and whether a Crafting roll can spend mats from your shared bag.

Workshop materials in your shared bag keep Crafting in that day's random pool when your job can craft at least one matching recipe. They do not force a Crafting shift — you can still roll Gathering, Combat, or Culture on any given day. Without enough mats for any eligible recipe, Crafting is left out of the roll until you restock.

Village work is optional—skip whenever you like. Use it when you want mon, items, and roster XP from a quick Discord step. You can add a short in-character line after the bot post if you want; rewards never depend on that—see Optional roleplay after a shift.

Shared plots, /berryfarm tend, live maps, and berry care tiers live on Berry farming. For which Roleplay channel to use when you tend, see Village work.

Each OC can complete /job work once per Eastern calendar day (resets midnight Eastern). /job status shows when that OC can work again. The same daily rule is summarized on Villages → Jobs.

Run /job work and /job status in the Roleplay channel whose title matches that OC's home village:

/job work and /job status both require character. Autocomplete lists approved OCs; you can also type a Pokimono id (for example C00012) or a name. Rewards use that OC's saved job and home village. Mon and home-village reputation scale with village and level (low / mid / high bands). Items roll from shared pools for your job plus that shift's focus, so hauls change day to day. When the random roll is Crafting and an affordable workshop recipe matches what you carry, the bot spends those mats from your shared bag and adds the crafted item. Browse odds in the item catalog (Mechanics → Shops, filters by job and focus).

• Each shift adds mon to your shared wallet, home-village reputation for the OC who worked, and character XP toward level. Items go to the same shared inventory as shops, crafting, wild battles, and workshop recipes.
• Culture leans hardest on reputation; Combat usually pays more mon and character XP but can chip HP or leave a short status; Gathering favors materials; Crafting pays out only on a Crafting roll when a recipe matches what you carry — mats in your bag make that focus possible, not certain. Priest, Healer, Entertainer, Diviner, Scholar, Sea Merchant, Sōhei, and Sake Brewer apply a small extra reputation multiplier on every shift.
• Wild KO wins add OC XP into the same roster total as village work and quests—see Battling → Wild Pokémon battles.

Each focus tile is a quick read for what that roll tends to pay or risk in play. Most jobs can hit any focus over time; Leader, Guardian, and Sentinel always land on Culture for village work. For Crafting, carrying workshop mats only keeps that focus in the random pool — the shift still has to roll Crafting before anything is made.

• Gathering

  Plenty of materials and ingredients, moderate mon and home-village reputation, and a low chance of HP loss or a short status — steady days for restocking and small chores.

• Combat

  Stronger mon and character XP, sharper item pulls, and a real chance of HP loss or a short status — heavier work that still adds home-village reputation, though not as much as Culture.

• Crafting

  On a random Crafting roll, spends mats from your shared inventory when a workshop recipe matches; carrying those ingredients keeps Crafting in the daily pool but does not guarantee it. Home-village reputation runs lower than the other tracks while the shift is about making something.

• Culture

  The strongest home-village reputation and solid mon; items lean social and trade tags — errands, customers, performances, and other days where your OC is out among people.
