Noble Jobs won't worth it

[MoKuS]

I notice that the majority of their job is green-skin hunting which normally takes place far from the location of the contract. Considering the food and salary and repair cost, their jobs don't worth it.

What do you think?

[Heron]

Absolutely check where they want to send you, yes. Then consider if you can make the trip worthwhile or not. Some trips can be combined with camp raiding to make them worth the time investment.

[Calandro]

If you don't like those, then I'd suggest avoiding artefact recovery contracts during the undead uprising. They specifically send you across the map.

[El Turista]

That's what the random bartender always say since the first minute of the game. Don't mess with those MF if you're looking for gold.

[The Duck Knight]

their patrol contracts are insane worth it. If you left some camps along the way you can gather the heads very, very quick and be done with it fast for good money.

[Piggy]

Patrols are worth it usually since the buff but the rest is so often garbage unless it's luckily nearby or some big fight.

[Bird]

Yeah, it's ridiculous when you accept a contract then find it's on the other side of the world. That's okay if there are camps and things on the way but what am I supposed to do when I've already cleared those camps?

[Antifringe]

Noble contracts would be much more viable if you could turn them in to any settlement belonging to the same house. Just say that the guy that hires you gives you a sealed envelope with your contract in it and you can redeem it at any base belonging to that house.

What about Big Game Hunt contract? Is it only for me still terrible? I picked it, went into location, found 2 stacks of mobs and thats it. No other beasts appeared. Great idea, but there is no actual hunt, just walking few days and found nothing.

For those things I count myself lucky if I find two mobs. I've searched all around and found zero even, taking a ton of time to do it.

I think the quest must spawn mobs but by the time I walk all the way over to the location they've already dispersed. These quests feel broken to me.

It spawns 3 stacks I believe, which will be enough for all the heads you need. Problem is that they dont sit in place but start to roam. They could even be killed by neutral parties, I believe.

These contracts work very well for Beastslayers with Lookout as its super easy to spot tracks from afar. For regular band these contracts are kind of meh, but you dont have a time requirement - pick it up, go explore and loot some camps and perhaps you'll run into a few monsters on the way as well.

I never ever take it. No way.

Good suggestion.

[Crowkeeper]

To be fair, I have found that simply camp crashing and hunting roving bands of enemies is more lucrative than jobs. It's not uncommon to go out into the wilds or patrol the roads and make 5-15k easily depending on wagon capacity.

That was an actually quite smart idea, just deliver anywhere to the faction.
And yeah big game hunt imo sucks so bad, it's just endless looking for days. Also sometimes tougher than even close to the pay
