Work, levels, and boosts

This is the deep dive on how you earn a steady income and grow your account in the economy. It covers jobs and shifts, the weekly quota, promotions, how XP turns into levels, and the two boost items. Command syntax is in the command reference, and the items you buy and carry are in the inventory guide.

The short version

Getting your first job

You need a job before !work does anything. Without one, !work just tells you to pick a job.

1. Run !jobs (or !work list) to see the job board. Jobs you qualify for are shown in green, locked ones in grey, and your current job is marked.
2. Run !work apply <job>, for example !work apply courier.
3. Run !work to start your first shift. If you have never worked before, there’s no wait.

!work apply dishwasher
!work apply line cook
!work courier

• Job names can be typed with spaces, dashes, or underscores, and in any case.
• !work <job> is a shortcut for !work apply <job>.
• You can only hold one job at a time. If you already have one, resign first or promote.
• Taking a job doesn’t cost anything.

The job board

There are four branches with three tiers each, so twelve jobs. Pay is a range per shift before the shift outcome is applied (see How a shift works).

How a shift works

!work (aliases !job, !shift) does one shift.

• Cooldown: 2 hours between shifts. The wait is tracked from your last paid shift, so resigning and re-applying doesn’t reset it.
• Pay: a random amount inside your job’s range, then multiplied by how the shift went.
• XP: your job’s XP (15, 22, or 32) goes along with the pay.
• Pay goes into your wallet, not your bank.

Great, normal, and poor shifts

Every shift rolls an outcome after the pay is picked.

So a Head Chef rolling 250 earns 375 on a great shift and 125 on a rough one. A Coin Charm adds on top, see Boosts.

What the cards show

Most work commands answer with a card image. If the card can’t be drawn, you get the same information as a plain embed.

The promotion bar reads READY once you have both the shifts and the level for the next tier, and MAX on a tier 3 job.

Weekly quotas and getting fired

Each job has a quota: the number of shifts you must work per week.

How the week works:

• Your week starts the moment you take a job, and again when you are promoted. A week lasts 7 days from its start.
• Shifts count toward the quota of the week they were worked in. The quota bar on your shift and status cards shows done/needed and how long the week has left.
• A new week starts back at zero shifts.

How firing works

You are fired when a week ends and you did fewer shifts than the quota. You are also fired if a whole two weeks or more have passed since your week started, no matter how many shifts you had.

• The check happens when you next use a work command (!work, !work status, !work promote, !work list, or applying), not at the exact second the week ends. If you were short, the bot tells you that you were fired.
• After being fired you can’t take a job for 6 hours.
• You lose your current job, but your lifetime shifts are kept, so you can come back at the tier you earned once the 6 hours are up.
• If you try a shift in the same moment the check fires you, no shift is paid. Apply for a job again once the wait is over.

Resigning

!work resign (aliases !work quit) quits your job right away.

• You can take another job after 3 hours. The job board and the resign card tell you when.
• Your lifetime shifts are kept.
• The shift cooldown is not reset, so quitting doesn’t give you a free shift.
• Resigning is also how you switch branches: resign, wait, then apply for a job you qualify for in another branch.

Promotions

Each branch is a ladder: tier 1, then tier 2, then tier 3. Tier 3 is the top.

After a promotion your shift count in the new job starts at 0 and your weekly clock restarts. Your quota goes up, so check the new number.

The shifts needed add up. Tier 2 needs 12 shifts and tier 3 needs 12 plus 40, which is the 52 lifetime shifts listed on the job board.

If you are short, the bot says which part is missing: how many shifts you have against how many are needed, or the level.

How XP is earned

Most things you do in the economy give XP. Nothing needs setup, it just adds up.

• A wrong answer or a timeout in a minigame gives no XP.
• An active XP Tonic multiplies every row in this table by 1.5, rounding down.
• Work is the biggest steady source, followed by the daily and weekly claims.

The level curve

Level n starts at 40 × n × (n − 1) XP. Each level asks for more than the last one, by a little more every time.

Level 5 (tier 2 jobs) is 800 XP and level 12 (tier 3 jobs) is 5,280 XP.

Level rewards

• Every level pays 40 FlCoins times the new level, straight into your wallet. Level 5 pays 200 and level 10 pays 400.
• If one action takes you up several levels at once, you get the reward for each of them.
• The bot posts a level-up card under your command’s reply with the reward, your new bank limit, and the XP needed for the next level.

Bank limit

Your bank starts at 5,000 and grows by 500 for every level you gain, so level 15 holds 12,000. Coins in the bank are safe from robbers, and !deposit only moves what fits.

Your profile and the leaderboard

!profile (aliases !level, !lvl, !xp, !rankcard) shows a card with:

• your level and a progress bar of the XP into the current level
• your wallet, bank with its limit, and net worth
• your job, branch, tier, and pay range, or a hint to pick one
• each active boost, with its multiplier and the time left

Add a mention to look at someone else, for example !profile @sam.

!levels (aliases !xptop, !lvltop, !leveltop) lists the 10 highest levels, with each player’s level and total XP.

Boosts

Two shop items give you a timed multiplier. Buy them with !buy (80 for an XP Tonic, 90 for a Coin Charm) and start them with !use.

!buy tonic 2
!use tonic
!use charm

Item aliases tonic and charm both work.

What they affect

• XP Tonic multiplies the XP from everything in the XP table, including the promotion bonus.
• Coin Charm multiplies the FlCoins from !work shifts (including the great or rough outcome), !checkin (including the streak bonus), !hourly, !weekly, !beg, the minigames, and loose coins from !dig. Your shift card shows the extra coins as a Coin Charm bonus.
• The Coin Charm does not change what items sell for, crate payouts, or robbing.

Stacking and the cap

• Using another boost of the same kind while one is running adds another hour on top. The multiplier stays at 1.5x, it does not compound.
• An XP Tonic and a Coin Charm can run at the same time, because they are different kinds.
• One kind can’t be stacked past 6 hours from now. If using another would go over, the bot says that boost is already running for close to the maximum, and the item is not used up. Wait for it to wind down, then use another.
• Each use costs one item. The reply shows when the boost ends and how many you have left.
• !profile shows your active boosts and the time left.

Strategy tips

• Start shifts immediately. The 2 hour cooldown is the limit on your income, so never leave a ready shift sitting. !work status shows when the next one is ready.
• Level matters as much as shifts. Tier 2 needs level 5, and a high-tier job can be locked behind XP rather than shifts. Do your claims, gathering, and minigames too.
• Aim for tier 3. Pay roughly doubles with each tier, and the XP per shift goes from 15 to 32.
• Bank your pay. Your wallet is what a robber can take. Deposit after a shift.
• Mind the quota after a promotion. The quota goes up (2, then 3, then 5) and your week restarts.
• Time a Coin Charm for when you have several things ready, such as !checkin, !weekly, and a shift, so one hour covers them all.
• XP Tonic pays for itself fastest while you are chasing a level gate, because shifts, claims, and promotions all benefit.
