Scientist

Research Tool

Official description

The scientist makes the blueprints an engineer needs to build wanted items. Besides that he identifies strange parts of technology that the hunters bring home from their trips into the wastelands. Many scientists have a collection of blueprints at hand to sell copies of them to those that do not have an in-house scientist or to engineers that want to sell made up weapons. The spies dominate this field, but monks can concur because of their speed.

Job

The scientist is essential in creating items by making blueprints for Engineer to build. Most of the useable items can be researched and built, including drugs or weapon parts. Research is also essential to make best equipment in the game by identifying rare parts for rare weapons if your skill level is high enough. High investment, high return profession. If you can get cheap Research Substance, its also easy way to earn money by doing your faction's CityCom research missions.
