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

- Daily income: Influence points; see below
- Daily cost: none?
- Hours: 9-5
- Age: Any

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 Skills and Attributes. Intelligence, Charisma, Beauty, Performance skill, the Starlet trait, a high Battle Fame, social status, and being old enough to be taken seriously (age below 16 is possible but penalized) all contribute to someone's effectiveness as a Herald.
Herald Skill = Intelligence + Charisma + Beauty + Performance, +10 if Warfame >199, + another 10 if Warfame >599, -15 if Convict or Slave, - 15 if age <17, +15 if Starlet trait >69, then finally divide by 4.

Janitor
- Daily Income: Special
- Hours: Special
- Age: Any
- Risks: Low
A janitor's main duty is to maintain your household's Disrepair value at reasonable levels. This will remove squalor effects, make Materialistic NPCs happier and keep you from losing Influence. Assigning someone as a Janitor is a way to encourage them to eventually become a workaholic. The role can also be used to help NPCs develop the Workaholic trait. Beware that people who hate you or are angry with you, if assigned as Janitors, will use this opportunity to surreptitiously damage your property though.
A household can have any number of Janitors.
Effects:
- -1 Household Disrepair, daily
- If Janitor's Discipline is 40+, extra -1 Household Disrepair, daily.

- 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!)
Details found here: Assignments and Jobs - Scavenger.
Slave Master/Mistress
- Daily Income: None
- Hours: Special
- Age: 18+
- Risks: Low
You can assign any NPC to be a Slave Trainer. It is a full time, daytime job, accessed through the Jobs & Titles interface. You can have up to three Slave Trainers in your Household at once. You can assign any Convict or Slave to any one of the Trainers, through the Houserules interface (second page). You can assign any number of slaves or convicts to a Trainer, but at a -2 effectiveness penalty per trainee above four. Being assigned to a trainer does not count as a Job; trainees can still do their normal jobs. Being assigned to a Trainer means that the slave/convict will increase in skills, traits or attributes, depending on the capabilities of the Trainer. It may mean they also get sexually used by the Trainer, if you permit that, with consequent effects on their Happiness, Fear, Humiliation, and oral/vaginal Wear - and Happiness gains to the Trainer.
More details here: Assignments and Jobs - Slave Master
The Academy
You can pay (on a daily basis) to have 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 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.
Learning at The Academy
- Schedule: 9am-4pm (plus commute time).
- Maximum Age: 25* recommended; see below.
- Cost: $60 or $80 per day
- Benefits: each course will improve 5 or 6 of a student's relevant Skills and Attributes, 1- 3 points each per fortnight on average. This display of your wealth and your valuing of the finer things in life will also gain you +2 Influence per student per day.
* The Academy is currently experimenting with allowing people of any age to attend its courses (money talks!) However these courses were designed with people of a set age and expected education level in mind, so older students might find the courses pitched at the wrong level for them, or they might feel socially uncomfortable or lonely if they are a generation older than everyone else in the class.

More details here: Taverns
Gladiatrix training, and performance fights
You can send a slave to the Arena's Gladiatrix School. It costs $125 to enroll 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 enroll 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, up to a maximum of 80.
- 10% daily chance to increase Ranged combat skill, up to a maximum of 60.

- Up to a 20% chance to decrease Weight, based on Body Type and Traits.
- Girls with the Bloodthirsty trait have a 100% daily chance to increase Happiness, up to a maximum of 80.
- 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 an hour. 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.
More details here: The Crystal Hills Arena Gladiatrix School
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. They can do this in addition to doing a daytime job. Their daytime job can also be Goldwalker if you wish.
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.
More details here: Gold walking
Horse Riding
- Hours: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
- Base Happiness Gain: 10%/day chance for +1.
- Base Discipline Gain: 0%/day chance for +1 (cap: 70).
- Base Influence Gain: +0/day.
- DEXTERITY: 6%/day chance to increase by +1 (cap: 60).
You can send your slaves and servants to one of Ikaanos' evening riding schools. Caring for and riding horses is a great way to reduce Stress, raise Happiness over time, increase a person's Discipline and their Dexterity, and can increase your Influence.
Note: To assign someone to a stable, be at home, select the person, Interact > Events & Activities > Horse Riding.
Note: You currently cannot change stable, you can only withdraw a girl and then sign up for the other stable. This automatically sells her private horse, if you bought one, at a loss. A fully upgraded white stables horse costs you $5,100, and sells back for $2,100 if you withdraw the girl.

Titles
In addition to Jobs, NPCs can be assigned Titles. These are duties which can be performed at the same time as working a Job - though in some cases the Title duties may be performed more effectively if the Title holder is not assigned a Job at the same time. Examples include: Head Maid, 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. Titles do not earn money; they look after your Household. For more details see the TITLES page.
