Lab Assistant

Lab Assistant is the default no-PhD job, built around stealth and mobility. It starts with +3 Sprinting and +3 Sneaking, grants 50% more Sneaking XP, and comes with a pair of starting gloves. This makes it a flexible, beginner-friendly choice for players who want a quiet, evasive playstyle rather than a specialized academic role.

Its bonuses push it toward low-risk movement and stealth-focused exploration, letting new characters move more quickly and build Sneaking proficiency faster than most jobs. The starting gloves also give it a small amount of early utility right away, so it feels ready to use from the beginning instead of requiring immediate gear hunting.

• Best suited for players who want to avoid direct confrontation.
• The extra Sprinting helps with repositioning, travel, and escaping danger.
• The Sneaking bonus and XP boost make it easier to develop a stealth-oriented playthrough early.
• A strong beginner option if you are unsure what kind of build you want and want a broadly useful, mobile start.
