How many occupations are in the game?

48 jobs can be put on a card, from Actor to Travel Agent. They are the same list in both campaigns, so one job never means two different things.

Does every blood relative need an occupation?

Yes. A card with no job chosen cannot validate, even when the name and the portrait are already right.

Can two jobs be accepted for the same person?

For 4 relatives, yes. The card locks with the primary job or with the second one the checker also accepts.

Does a partner or spouse need the right occupation?

No. A partner or spouse slot is validated on the name alone, so there is no job to get right.

Does an extra portrait need an occupation?

No. That card is only about the face, and the job field is not part of it.

The job is right but the tree still will not lock. Why?

Because the job is only one of the three things a blood card needs. The name and the portrait have to be right as well, so check the whole entry rather than the occupation alone.

Why does a guide name a different job than mine?

Both cards can be right. When a relative has a second accepted job, walkthroughs often list whichever one their own investigation turned up first.

Can I search for a job only?

Yes. Choose a job instead of a person and the page lists the relatives who held it, with the ones the tree merely accepts kept separate.

Are the job names in my game language?

Choose your game language and the job names switch with it, while the rest of the page stays in English.

Know the person but not the job, or the job but not the person? Go either way — look up what a relative did for a living, test a job against a tree entry, or start from a job and find everyone who held it.

Where an Occupation Goes

A blood relative's card asks for three things: who the person is, the portrait you matched them from, and what they did for a living. The tree will not accept the card without all three, so a job you cannot place is enough on its own to keep a branch from locking.

Not every card wants a job. A partner or spouse is checked on the name alone, and an extra portrait is only matched to the face it belongs to. If one of those is what will not lock, changing the occupation will make no difference.

Find an Occupation

Fill in the name, the job, or both. The answer changes to match what you already have.

Why Are Two Jobs Accepted?

A few relatives have a second job the tree will take, so the same card can lock with either one. That happens when the investigation points at more than one line of work for the same person — a family business, a career change, or a document that names a side job.

The second job is not a second career the game presents as equal. It is only a second answer the checker allows, which is why a guide and your own card can both be right while naming different jobs.

Occupation Problems in the Family Tree

The person is right but the job is wrong
The card is checked against the primary job first and the second accepted job after it. Try the other one before you rebuild the card.
The card is a partner or spouse
Only the name is checked. No occupation is asked for, so nothing here will unlock that slot.
The card is an extra portrait
The face is the whole answer. The occupation field is ignored on this kind of card.
No job was chosen at all
A blood relative cannot lock without one. This is the single most common reason a correct name still will not take.

Where to Go Next

You have the job but not the person
Turn a job into a short list of relatives and let a face or half a name finish the job.

The card still will not lock
Run the entry through the checker and see which of the name, portrait or occupation is holding it back.
