ok ill start...

who has a Villager Jack of all trades?.. or Master of all skill's

...me i dont have... its hard to get a master parent... i think...

im close...just working on my doctor..but she is 56 and im only at level 2 on everything..dont know if she will make it..lol

me i have a 1 villager

all of she's skill is master..

the problem is she is not a master of parent she is just Untrained... even i breed and i breed her...

I had one. He was a master at everything except Parenting. So I waited until one of the women was too old to have babies and then just kept putting them together over and over until he became a Master Parent. It didn't take as long as I thought.

how old is she princess? because if she is over 50 you should just have her kiss the guys over and over and she will gain parenting..thats how i got my master parent

I am very very close. I just need parenting but I don't have enough housing yet so it won't let me breed him anymore. I have everyone working on the hut because my guy is elderly.

I have, well had, one. He died a while ago At the beginning I always rotate jobs and once he was a master of everything, I decided to make him the doctor. When he mastered that, I kept having him kiss a woman who was over 50. Then he became JOAT.

i did the same as masmaba... it only took like five minutes for him to become a master parent if that much. I also had another one that was master in everything except for farming and she became adept to the point where her next step would make her become farming but she was just so old and walked too slow and died b4 she got there...

i just got one JOAT at age 39!
my chief was very proud of him

I haven't had one even close yet. But I'm hoping I will in the tribe I'm playing now. I had one child that was already pretty high up in the Doctor area when she turned 14. By the time she was 15, she was a Master Doctor and my first Child Prodigy. Then I had her start on building a hut. I made her work on it by herself until she became adept and by that time, two of my three trees were ready for harvesting so I made her harvest both by herself. Then, my third tree was ready and I made her harvest that one by herself also. Now I have her fishing all by herself, trying to get her up to Master Farmer. She is currently 17. I was hoping to have her become an Esteemed Elder by 18, but that's not going to happen, lol! Anyway, once she hits Master Farmer, I'm going to have her go back to building. As soon as she hits the Master Builder, then I plan on starting her in on having kids. Leaving Research for last. I hope it works!

This was a "new" tribe and she was the second youngest when the tribe started. Unusual tribe too, for me anyway, as the first and only Chief so far was the two year old when I started the tribe, lol! I guess this tribe just has smart kids.

Oh, and the women in my other tribe became Master Parents sometime during their fourth child. I have one now though on her third infant and she's still only a Trainee Parent. But her Dislike is Children, hahaha! That may be why she hasn't moved up very far.

its not entirely hard to make a male master parent. What i do is i constantly make him embrace an elderly woman or one over fifty so she desnt get pregnant but he still gains experience. also i dont let them go indoors.

mine.. is died!!...

she is allmost become Jack of all trade but..

she is just still adept healer...

all of she's skill is master except healer...

then i just woke up then i saw her become's bone...

i allmost got it..

I'm sorry Princess. My Jack of All Trades was a runner which I found gained skills very fast especially with farming and building. Perhaps try and make a runner your Jack of All Trades?

I had a jack of all trades names Carli, but she died unfortunately

I know that more than likely nobody will care, but I wanted to post an update on my Child Prodigy that I'm trying to turn into my very first Jack of All Trades.

It seemed like it took forever to get her Master Farmer status, but she did achieve it sometime after she turned 18. Then I had her working on become a Master Builder. In my last post, I explained how I got her up to Adept Builder while waiting on my trees to be ready for harvesting. So, once she finally hit Master Farmer, she was already an Adept Builder. Still is seemed like it was taking a really long time, even with the help of a potion. I used the potion 3 separate times and all three times it said it increased the skill.

Of course, it wouldn't say Master Builder when she became one, because she was already a Master Doctor and Farmer. Anyway,right after she turned 22, it said she had increased in her building and I finally saw the Esteemed Elder title. At 22, lol! So, then I pulled her up to the waterfall area and clicked on Parent. She went after one of my only two adult males, but that didn't work out. She didn't want to go after the other one, she wanted to go and Study Medicine, hahaha! I had other plans though and now she has a baby by the other guy -- the one she didn't want. (I know, I'm mean, lol!)

Oh, and I had her read to a few kids before I had her get together with the guy, so she's quite a ways up there already and only 22 years old. Maybe this will will actually work.

Good luck Simsane!

Thanks Tamerah! I know it's kind of pathetic posting about it here, but neither my husband nor my son could care less. I just had to tell someone about it.

My Jack of all Trades was a female that the game was started with. She had an event, which made her a runner, and she was already on her way to becoming master parent, as I appointed her as my main breeder

congratulations to you simsane!
i like to read about the success that others have with the game

Simsane, that's why we're all here. We get into this stuff and the people around us don't get it, and we just gotta tell someone!
I think you're well on your way with your JOAF, Way to Go!

Thanks everyone, I'll keep you posted. I have another tribe who had a runner, but it was when I first started playing and I didn't know what I was doing. Didn't even notice the Awards page for a while, lol! That runner, sadly, is now gone. He has one of the original tombstones. I haven't had a runner since. Now in this second tribe, the one where I've been working on creating a JOAT or JOAF (?) I haven't let the game run unless I'm playing it. I pause it when I'm not actually playing. So every bit of progress has been painstakingly eked out. But I really have hope with her (I named her Becca -- the game named her Buca) so I'm pausing it so that I can control what happens.

I have three meza 55, Vanau 39 and Daku 60. Meza and Daku I had to make them tell stories to children to make the master parents, i tried putting them together after 50 to gain skill for parent but never moved. If you are stuck making master parent have them read to kids.

Wow, bulldoglover24, three of them! I can't even manage to get one. Good going and thanks for the tip!

I am working on that award right now

well mine passed away sometime last night..but before she died..she made it to JOAT

Thanks ya'll. I had been having problems figuring out how to get a Jack of All Trades. I really hated to just click parenting on the detail screen, if it's a male---they keep all the breedable age women PG all the time, so they accomplish nothing else--and, of course, a female just stays pregnant all the time---no time to complete the other four tasks. The key here is post menopausal women!!!!! I got it!!! Gonna go try now!!!

Got my Jack of All Trades when she was 40. Master Parent is easy, if you do it during a time when you're at your population limit. OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

Yay! My child prodigy is now 37, lol! And I looked to make sure I still didn't have a Jack of All Trades (which I didn't) but all her bars were way up except for the Parent bar, which was ALMOST as high. I clicked on parent and had her read to two kids. Still didn't quite do the trick. So, I let her go embrace (yech! Picked the wrong guy -- but luckily it didn't 'take') then I dropped her on the guy that had fathered her other kids. It 'took' and then I looked again and I now have my first Jack of All Trades. Yay!

Hi Everyone! I just to throw something out there that I haven't seen mentioned in increasing parenting skills; it's a good way to do that and 'teach' children. If you drop an adult on a child, they will change to "telling stories" and both will go to the ampitheater.. that's a way to increase parenting even when there aren't women available to get pregnant. It works for the men, too!

Hope that helps a bit!

A sad update. My JOAT has passed. When I first started playing, she was one of the original members. There were two younger than her and now, there is only one member left alive out of the original tribe and she is 71. So sad. I know it's dumb, but I felt so sad when I opened my game this morning and found her gone. Then a little bit later, the Chief had passed as well. The chief had been two years younger than my JOAT and did get me the Award for having a chief for at least 50 years.

I can't believe how attached I was to them and how I miss them. :-(

If she was going to have a child not letting them go indoors doesn't stop that she still has her child even though you didn't let them go indoors. I never wait for my couples to go indoors and I still get my babies.

No, what prevents them to make babies is to keep kissing a woman over age 50. Otherwise, babies may happen anytime by kissing.

I had a male adept parent (running and embracing) for 40 virtual years and still no luck. :((

My Jack of All trades was my favorite villager. She died a few weeks ago. You have to watch them constantley as soon as they turn 14. Once they master, keep on moving them to the different work places. I got mine when she was in her 30's or 40's.

SoulSmilen, theoretically you're right; I wish it worked in practice. But see my post at http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/199717#Post199717 in the other thread on this subject.
