Guide to Fixer Offices
What is a Fixer?
Fixers are hired hands who perform a variety of tasks, from fishing, contract negotiations, intelligence gathering and weaponsmithing, to dangerous tasks like combat, expeditions and city protections. Most of the fixers work in the town limits, but a handful of office types prefer to explore the dungeon to the north of the town. Each office type specializes in a different area, and all Fixers and offices are licensed by the local Hana Association.
Fixer Grades
Fixers are graded on a scale from Grade 9 to Grade 1, with Grade 9 being average Joes, and grade 1 being extremely strong. Rarely, there are Grade 1 fixers that go above and beyond in terms of skill and strength. These fixers are given a special designation, Color Fixers. They they are the first choice for the local Hana Association to send on extremely dangerous (And well paying) jobs.
Fixer grades are given by the local Hana Association, and are often attached to the end of your ID.
How do I join a Fixer Office?
First, To become a fixer, you must start as a Civilian or a Rat. Civilians start with more money, but lower average stats, and Rats spawn with no money, but better stats as well as a license to murderbone
Joining a Fixer office as a Rat will waive your right to murderbone.
Next, you want to locate the local Hana office. It's northwest of the town, a big room with massive windows and a white flooring. Talk to the Hana reps there, and ask for any open offices.
They may send you around town looking for an open office. If this happens, look around for fixers wearing armor, and ask them if they are hiring. If so, report back to Hana for logging, as well as your headset and badge.
Fixer Equipment
Every Fixer needs two things from Hana association, a fixer badge and a headset. The fixer headset lets fixers communicate with each other and Hana, and the badge can only be given out by Hana.
Along with the badge and headset, you can get armor from your Office Director and a basic weapon in the fixer equipment vendor found in the Hana office. Replace the weapon with one from a workshop ASAP, as the weapons in the vendors are very basic.
How do I create a Fixer Office?
First, you want to decide if you want to ride it solo with a Solo Office or create a full registered Fixer Office. Regardless, you have to go to Hana, just as you join an office, instead request to create an office.
Paperwork is required to start an office, of which they will help you
Solo Offices
Solo Offices are offices created by solo fixers, and are usually free. This is a way to create an office and join the fixer cabal without actually interacting with other people.
Solo Offices are however, at a disadvantage due to being poorly equipped, and unable to clear rooms as fast as multiple fixers.
Fixer Offices
Fixer Offices cost a small fee to start, with many bonuses. First, aside from fishing and workshop offices, you get a free set of 5 armor sets to act as a uniform, as well as a small selection of basic weapons.
You also get a physical space to put your office. Find a square room with a marker in the middle, and use your office capsule in the centre of the room. This will be your base of operations.
Your next goal should be to hire other fixers, and finally get to your duties. Fixer office duties are as below.

What Goals do I Have?
Solo Office
- As a solo office, your goals are pretty loose as you do not have responsabilities to take care of. So go do whatever.
- Primarly however, most Solo Fixers (usually) act as a pseudo-Combat Office, clearing the Backstreets for loot to bring back to the City, either to sell to people or sell at Item Vending Machines, and to get stronger.
- This is also a good choice if you wanna limit your RP or time talking with people.
Combat Office
- You are the most daring group of individuals, wanting to take on the Backstreets for their riches to bring back to the city and to grow stronger.
- You are also the most able at completing Hana Requests which are usually fetch quests with monster parts or clearing certain enemies from somewhere.
- Outside of dedicated roles, you will tend to be the strongest fixers in town.
Peacekeeping Office
- For a lack of better wording, you are essentially the police of the City.
- Make sure the City is keeped relatively orderly, make sure to calm down Rats that get too cocky.
- Threats often arise within the City and you are expected to be the first in line to stop said threat.
Recon Office
- You are to seek out information, either dungeon POIs or loot location, learn about the whereabout of individuals or other valuable info that one may search.
Protection Office
- You are somewhat close in action to the Peacekeeping Office, however, you are specifically here to protect the civilians of the city.
- You may also be hired for protection services.
Workshop Office
- Workshop offices can create a wide variety of weapons and customize. Many will seek you out to create great weaponary that can exceed some of the more typical gear that can be found.
Fishing Office
- You fish, that's it.
- Turn in your fish at your office's vendor for points to redeem equipment to fish even better. Or simply sell them at Item Vending Machines for money.
- You can also keep some of the nicer fishes you find to put them in displays for people to see, which even restore a bit of SP.
- You could also sell the food cans you find to hungry people in case of a lack of HHPP Cook or Backstreet Butcher.
