Just a point on an earlier post here Silver mining is a job you get if you are a pure trader not builder and by pure builder they mean put all your level up points in strength and construction it unlocks not only good cash jobs but even better exp ones such as laying railroad tracks, setting up telegraph poles, building the railroad station, constructing a ranch house, drilling for oil and carving out claims.
Construction is definitely not considered a build noted for it's amazing cash jobs / xp jobs... The best jobs @ level 45 for construction are:
Constructing ranch house - 61% xp
Building Wind Mills - 45%xp 45 wages
building train station - 47% xp
picking agaves - 42% xp 25 wages
building coffins - 42 wages 8% xp
AND with the right items, you can do Drilling for Oil - 25% xp 82 wages
At level 45... that is a WEAK character build in terms of XP / cash...
Take a peek at this
level 35 leadership pure w/ 30 SP in swimming:
( Constructing a Manor House )
33% CASH
71% XP
17% LUCK
( Hunting Buffalo )
24% CASH
62% XP
0% LUCK
( Protecting the Track of Settlers )
10% CASH
60% XP
30% LUCK
( Building a Ranch House )
12% CASH
47% XP
7% LUCK
( Exploration )
1% CASH
45% XP
22% LUCK
So... @ level 35 with pure leadership, you can have 3 jobs OVER 60% xp... and a total of 8 jobs over 40%xp. ( I haven't listed all of them )... AND This is at level 35, not level 45. At level 35 you should start putting points into either shooting (for a very good jobs build) OR stamina (for a fort fighter).
I just wanted to point out, that construction ISN'T all it's cracked up to be when it comes to jobs and making money. I could name 5 builds off the top of my head that are WAY better for both cash and xp. The only difference is, none of those builds can do construction (...construction itself is HORRIBLE xp and a financial burden to a character unless you have a large town funding the build).
If this is your first time playing, don't do a builder... and don't make a worker class character. You will regret it if you continue playing this game longer then a month.
