Everything About the Journeyman Class
By Sleepy
This is nowhere near the first guide to walk through the Journeyman quest line, but the goal here is to make the process of learning about the Journeyman class and its' mechanics as easy to understand as possible.

DISCLAIMER
For most, if not the entirety of this guide, I will be referring to the IdleOn wiki, which can be found here[idleon.info].

What is the Journeyman Class?
The journeyman class is, as the game calls it, the "secret fourth class", which shares most of its' attributes with the beginner class, having both accuracy and damage rely on the luck stat. The class' abilities and talents are a different story though, as the majority of them focus on increasing rare drop rates, be it for cards, crystal monsters, or even gems, journeyman was basically designed to help with the more grindy aspects of the game. Although as a drawback to this, it's hands-down the weakest class in the game, with a good example of this being the "Curse of Mr Looty Booty" talent, where it takes away a percentage of total damage for an increase in overall drop rates.
Journeyman Questline
Before You Begin
Before beginning the secret questline, you're going to need to complete the second quest of the Picnic Stowaway's daily questline to unlock the peanut recipe, and preferably characters able to gather money, gold, and bleach wood reliably. Along with that, be sure you are using a beginner class character for the whole process, and to not get a class from Promotheus

To Begin
After you've gotten the peanut recipe, craft one and drag only one out of your inventory onto this bush in the Vegetable Patch



After that, you should be able to speak to this bush, after which, you'll be sent on a fetch quest to retrieve more peanuts for it, and upon completion of each quest, these peanuts are not kept in the inventory, each of these quests go as follows

Quest Name
Peanut Requirement
Rewards
A Peanut For Your Thoughts
50 Peanuts
  • 1 Mystery Upgrade Stone
  • 777 Coins
Honk if You Love Peanuts!
200 Peanuts
  • 2 Mystery Upgrade Stones
  • 1500 Coins
A Peanut Saved is a Peanut Not Eaten
400 Peanuts
  • 3 Mystery Upgrade Stones
  • 2500 Coins
  • 1 Stone Peanut

For the next half of the quest, you're going to need to bring the stone peanut you got and drop that next to the rock in Froggy Fields



After that, more peanut-related quests will arise, which go as follows:

Quest Name
Peanut Requirement
Rewards
How It's Made Episode 7. The Super Peanut
500 Peanuts
  • Golden Peanut Recipe
  • 5000 Class XP
If Life Gives You Peanuts, Make Shiny Peanuts!
5 Golden Peanuts
  • 1 Mystery Upgrade Stone
  • 5000 Class XP

After all's said and done, all that's left is to become a Journeyman, for which you will be rewarded with the Club Member trophy and a Beginner Best Class star talent, which provides +1 base weapon power for every 10 levels on your Journeyman (or highest leveled Journeyman character if you have more than one) which caps out at +100 base power per 10 levels after leveling the skill to level 100.

To Conclude
To sum this up, you'll need
  • 3300 Hot Dogs
  • 1650 Bleach Logs
  • 1650 Copper Ore
  • 250 Gold Bars
  • 1 Beginner Class Character
