Now that you are officially a Builder in Portia, Presley and Gale want you to get familiar with the town and the Commerce Guild (especially the Commissions Board).

1. Go speak with Presley.

  Presley: You're now a bonafide workshop owner! Your Pa would've been so proud!

 Let me introduce you to the Commerce Guild. We're the organization that orchestrates trade across the entire Free Cities region, this is the Portia branch. We're pretty busy throughout the year.

 Let me explain some of the processes of our trade. Here at the Portia office, we post workshop commissions every day on the board over there. Based on the speed and quality of the results, we make a ranking of the workshops every week listed on the wall behind me.

  Player: There are other workshops in Portia?

  Presley: Oh yes, adding yours, there will be five workshops in our jurisdiction. Besides the ranking list, you also have a workshop rating, which is listed on your license. The higher your rating, the higher quality the commissions you can get. But don't worry, if you have your father's work ethic, you'll be number one in no time.

 Once you're done with your orders, you can pick up the commission fee from Antoine if it's from the guild or the respective person who commissioned you. Builders make most of their money from doing commissions through the Commerce Guild. But some just build items and sell directly to the market, that's fairly lucrative as well. There are many ways to make a workshop profitable. Commissions from the Commerce Guild are a workshop's cornerstone. Selling extra materials, parts, and assembled builds to the different stores in Portia can also net a healthy profit.

2. Speak to Gale, who suggests that you introduce yourself to some key people in town.

▶️
  Gale: Oh right, you should get to know some of the people living in this town, for your own benefit. I've made a list of the store owners within the city walls. You should go introduce yourself.

3. Search the town for the seven shop owners: Dr. Xu, local doctor; Django, restaurant owner; Paulie, furniture maker; Mars, tool shop owner; Carol, clothing store owner; Albert, young construction guru; and Sophie, elderly ranch owner.

  Dr. Xu: Hey, welcome to Portia. I'm pretty much the only doctor around here, so come see me when you need to heal up or buy health items. Here, have these as a welcome gift.

  Albert: Welcome, if you're in need of house or workshop upgrades, this is the place to be. All you need to do is select a plan from the catalog book in our company.

  Paulie: Welcome! Smallish builder! I sell furniture here in my store, so if you have any need for manly decors, you know where to find me.
▶️
 And since I'm so manly, I'm going to give you this to get you started.

  Mars: Nice to have you. If you need tools or weapons, you can come to my shop. It's got the best selection around these parts.

 Now, you look like a nice kid, so I'm gonna give you these for free, as a leg up. Don't tell my wife though!
