The Pearl has to be carried by the Tribal Chief, and a child chief certainly can exchange the blue for the black pearl, and use it as a key.

I just saw this . . . there's one problem here.

Build? Parent? Heal without being told to? Fish, harvest fruit, and harvest honey? Research? Re-assemble the alchemy lab? Tell stories? As a chief, they can teach or lecture -- this won't count numerically though, since 'chief tasks' is a single item in this list.

We seem to have forgotten the actual jobs, when making this list.

Resurrecting an old topic as I am newbie!

My child chief got the pink jewel key fine.

As soon as I had an adept scientist and she had built the lab I made the potion and let the child Chief drink it and go get it. He was only 4.
I like my Chief to do the Keys though!
Have not tried any other child try.

Perhaps only letting the chief is a bit elitist??
I know he has to do the pearl key, but........,.

I always try to get my chief to the bones first too.

Silly me!!

They can lecture the whole tribe, but child chiefs can't teach other kids. They have to be 18 to be able to do that.
