IDIOT'S GUIDE TO FED2
GROAT-MAKING FOR BEGINNERS
AKATURI JOBS
So you've promoted to Adventurer. Now you can hang up your hauling trousers and go and do something a lot more interesting: Akaturi jobs. That's an alien term that has crept into the Earth language. What it means is that Armstrong Cuthbert, having been impressed by your work, wants you to become a trusted courier and deliver small valuable items.
To obtain an Akaturi job, go to any Armstrong Cuthbert office and type 'AKATURI' (or 'AK' for short). They will tell you to go to a specific location on one of the Sol planets, to pick up a package. When you get to the right place, use 'PICKUP' to take charge of the package. You will then be told where the valuable item needs to be taken; when you arrive at the destination, deliver the package with 'DROPOFF'.
At any point, you can check the details of the job with 'DISPLAY AKATURI' or 'DI AK'. The items you are carrying do not show up in your inventory, because they do not belong to you.
Successful delivery of the package gives you a payment of groats plus 1 akaturi credit. You will need those credits in order to qualify for the next promotion.
These jobs don't pay quite as well as cargo jobs, but there is no time limit on them, and no competition from other players. Akaturi jobs are only available in the Solar System.
If you decide you don't want to do the job, you can 'VOID' it, but not only will you be fined a large number of groats, you will also lose 5 Akaturi credits - after all, you are carrying extremely valuable and rare items that the owners will not want to lose!
Now you see why knowing your way around the planets is important!
