## What does a beYou Artisan do anyway?

Will encompass all relaxation,artistic & holistic healing role-play and crafting. Will craft objects/equipment for other profession such profession painting loaders - pottery, etc. Example, professions like artisan would need to work with Artisan for all nailpolish, shaving creams, etc. If it involves chemistry, it probably goes through Mixology.

## Becoming an Artisan

While you can start some of your guided task to level this profession, please note that this profession will not allow you to use most of the equipment required till beYou level 25. This does not mean you can not start working your way through your task. For example, you can start your starter training books, get cured of your illness, get your pamper session, do the exercise session, etc.

Once you establish yourself as a Artisan and can have stock to sell, you will need to advertise your services to procure clientele. You can do this by either joining several inworld spam groups, using the beYou Ad Service prims that you can get at the main beYou sim by the adboards, or by doing grassroots advertising on your own via your social circles or other social media outlets. However, *you can not advertise in the main beYou group*; This is against the group charter.

## Leveling Your Profession

Once you become a Artisan, you will advance your profession by leveling your skill points. To determine what skill points you need to advance, click on the account options button on your profile, and choose ‘My Career Path.’

In ‘My Career Path’, you will see what research you must accomplish, which skill points you need to advance and how many life experience points (LEP) you will need to advance to the next level.

### Books

Your professions training books will allow you to progress through your leveling process. If you do not already own one, you will need a *beYou Study Hall Skill Trainer* Desk in order to begin training with your books.   You will also need to complete the Learn to train book that comes with the *beYou Study Hall Skill Trainer* desk prior to any starter profession books.
