▶️
 And here we are, your workshop.

▶️
 This place sure's seen some wear and tear.

▶️
 What do you think?

▶️
 Anyway, since this is your first commission, I've kept one just for you.

▶️
 Higgins! You already took one today!

▶️
 That runt. He's the owner of the current number one workshop. Brilliant businessman, but I don't like the way he does things.

▶️
 Well, I'm sorry, that was our last one today.

▶️
 Or not.

▶️
 The Commerce Guild is always busy, but I feel like I'm taking part in the telesis of the world.

▶️
 When I was your age, I worked from dawn 'til midnight. All that hardwork paid off, and I'm now the commissioner of the branch.

▶️
 If you work hard and never give up, you'll be well off in no time at all.

▶️
 Good to see you again! Hope you had a pleasant journey...from Barnarock, right? That's quite far.

 Anyway, I'm here to show you to your workshop, so if you would please follow me, it's pretty close.

▶️
 No one's been working there since your Pa left Portia so many years ago. He was a good friend.

▶️
 Now then, here's a letter from your father. He asked me to present it to you when you've seen this house.

▶️
 Here's the Workshop Handbook of your Pa's. Take your time, come to the Portia Commerce Guild tomorrow, it's located around Peach Plaza, can't miss it.

▶️
 As much as I'd like to give you a Builder License right away, you'll need to prove your worth through a couple of tests.

▶️
 Anyway, I'll leave you be. Get some rest!

▶️
 Nice to see you. How are you settling in?

▶️
 Great!

▶️
 Good, good!

▶️
 Hang in there!

▶️
 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.

▶️
 Now then, let me give you your builder test. This is pretty easy, make an axe and pickaxe and bring them to me.

▶️
 You'll need to have wood and stones to make these. You can gather them on your own or buy them from the Total Tools in Central Square.

▶️
 After you have the raw materials, you'll need to craft the items on a worktable. I saw your Pa's old one in your yard, so check and see if that still works.

▶️
 Excellent quality! Nicely done. You can keep them, I just wanted to see what you can do. Now, for the second test, you are to build a stone furnace. This one's a bit tougher, you'll need to use the Assembly Station in your yard to complete this task.

▶️
 If I remember correctly, your Pa kept a very detailed account of the things he made. You might want to flip through his Workshop Handbook and see if you can find a diagram for the stone furnace. Once you have a diagram, just use it on the Assembly Station in your yard to start construction.

▶️
 Great job!

▶️
 This is your Builder License, congratulations!

▶️
 Now you just need to take this license over to the Mayor's Office and get your workshop registered, after which you can start taking regular commissions.

▶️
 Come back and talk with me after you register.

▶️
 Don't forget to finish the guild's test and get yourself your Builder's license. I have faith in you.

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

▶️
 Let me explain some of the processes for 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.

▶️
 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.

▶️
 What is it Arlo?

▶️
 So the Mayor finally put up the money? Well! Young... here is up for the challenge.

▶️
 Check your Pa's Workshop Hand book to see if he has a bridge diagram in there, I remember he built a bunch. If it's there, use it at your Assembly Station. After you're done with the bridge pieces, you'll need to go to the designated spot and assemble the bridge.

▶️
 When you're done with an order taken from the Commerce Guild, drop off all the products here. Antoine over there will take care of the rest.

▶️
 Also, and this is important, for a project as big as a bridge, you'll probably need to dive into the Abandoned Ruins to gather materials. We have one such ruin in Portia, it's located at the bottom of the Temple tower.

▶️
 Hello! I've got great news! The Mayor has secured the funding to make 5 Dee-Dees, these are three-wheeled transports used for short distance travel. They will make our town much more accessible!

▶️
 The is a big order! The Mayor posted the five orders separately on the Commerce Guild board, you can start working on them immediately. I'm sure the other Builders will be after these commissions as well. So, come on, what are you waiting for?

▶️
 My sofa disappeared! What the heck, how can something that big disappear? Sorry, I wasn't able to sleep last night.

▶️
 My sofa! I'd given up on ever finding it! How did the rats get this into their cave? Thank you so much!

▶️
 And here we are, your workshop.

▶️
 This place sure's seen some wear and tear.

▶️
 What do you think?

▶️
