Player Professions

Your **Player Profession** will determine what type of "bonus" your friends will receive when you visit them and click on one of their charge spots. Your Player Profession has no effect within your own game. Whenever anyone creates a new player account, the game automatically assigns a "Profession" to the new account. You do not get to choose which Profession you become; the game chooses for you.

## Determining your own Player Profession

If you want to know what Player Profession you are, there are a few ways to find out.

* Have a friend click on your avatar through the Friends List and then tell you
* Have a friend visit and then tell you
* Look at your own current event progress screen. Your avatar and your Player Profession symbol will be displayed. Although depending on the device you use, you may not be able to see it this way.

## Professions

The **Archaeologist** bonus gives an increase of 10% on coins for exploring. (Ex. Get extra coins if a friend clicks on the Station.) This shows up as a coin symbol.

The **Mechanic** bonus gives an increase of 10% experience points for exploring the location. (Ex. If a friend clicks on City Hall, a user will get extra experience points.) This shows up as a green wings symbol.

The **Pathfinder** bonus increases the chances of finding a collection item by 5%. (The chances are higher for finding that collection item that you could need in the location that the bonus is active in.) This shows up as a box with a green pearl symbol.

The **Psychic** bonus reduces energy consumption and increases the energy returned by 10% on a location. (Ex. If friend clicks on the Station that costs 25 energy by rank 5, a user will only use 23, and 9 energy will be returned instead of the normal 8.) This shows up as a blue lightning bolt symbol.

## Sample Symbols on a Location

You can easily see what bonuses you have for a location by hovering over the hands that are on a location. As you can see, it is possible to have more than one bonus applied to a location, but notice that the bonuses are different. If a Pathfinder friend and a Psychic friend charge the same location, you will get a 5% increase to the chance of a collectible item drop *and* a 10% reduction to the energy cost of doing one exploration at that location.

## Getting the Most from Charges

Bonuses are not cumulative. It is not possible to have the same bonus on the same location before it's played. If two Psychic friends (energy bonus) both click on the same spot before you can play it, then you will only get an energy reduction once, not twice. If two Pathfinder friends both click on the same spot before you can play it, then you will only get an one 5% increase to the chances of a collection item drop at that location. The same location may be charged by another Pathfinder friend later the same day and you will get another 5% collection item bonus. If any two or more friends (of any Profession) apply a bonus to a Totem, only the first bonus has an effect. Subsequent bonuses applied to a Totem before you collects the Totem's reward are lost. Rewards from some Totems can only be collected once per day. If players apply a bonus to any Totem after a friend has collected the last reward for the day from that Totem, the bonus is lost.

However, you can get creative with the floating avatars in your City. Click on one avatar at a time and play the locations that they've charged. Then, click on the next avatar and play those locations. This can be beneficial if more than one friend has charged the same location with the same type of bonus.

For example, if two Archaeologist friends are floating avatars on your map and they've both charged the Crystals mini-game, then clicking one of the avatars and then playing Crystals means that you have used the bonus. If you clicks the second Archaeologist friend then another Archaeologist bonus will be applied to Crystals since the first one has already been used up on the first play.
