Roles

This article has been flagged to be renamed to Roles to match the name used inside the game

Professions are the roles you assign to characters which provide assistance when you 'hang out' with them. A profession can be selected for a character after the player levels up their friendship for the first time.

You can change a character's profession by crafting Training Manuals and gifting them to the various characters.

Roles

• Digger: Your companion can find more items when digging.
• Gardening: Your companion can find more crops when harvesting.
• Fishing: Your companion can find more fish when fishing.
• Foraging: Your companion can find more items when harvesting wild crops and fruits.
• Mining: Your companion can find more minerals when mining.

Bonus Resources

Hanging out with a Villager with a role has a chance to provide extra resources. Assigning additional Villagers to a role will increase the bonus resource chance for all characters with that role.

The bonus chance of a resource when gathering while hanging out with a Villager with the matching profession role is:

Bonus Chance = Base Chance + Active Friend Level + Inactive Friend Level

• Base Chance: 20% for Gardening, and 25% for all other roles.
• Active Friend Level: 3.5% per friendship level of the Villager hanging out, up to 35% at level 10 friendship
• Inactive Friend Level: 1% per friendship level of all friends not hanging out, up to 10% each friend at level 10 friendship

This means bonus resources will be generated 100% of the time while hanging out if there are 5 Villagers assigned that same role (6 if the role is Gardening).

Roles do not impact the number of items yielded from removing spawning items. For example, Hanging Out with a Mining Companion will not yield more than the standard number of Stones when clearing Small Rocks.
