Artisan (Journeyman) Image

You've learned your trade since childhood, either by your parents, or a master who took you as an apprentice. You've learned to estimate the amount and cost of raw materials needed, and at least all the basic methods to turn them into a finished product. Serving countless customers in your workshop, you know what people want and what they are willing to pay - and what you can charge. You've also gained a fair amount of insight into the different personalities of people, rich or poor.

As it's tradition before settling down somewhere, you took your tools of trade and went out into the world to further hone your skills as a journeyman.
