Gatherer Laborers:
These laborers will probably be the easiest ones to understand, although a few ones may be slightly harder to figure out than others. They will basically do basic gathering work that any player can do, usually returning with 150-200 of whatever ressource they are assigned to.
Lumberjack
Stonecutter
Prospector
Cropper
Gamekeeper
Mercenary
Refiner Laborers:
