What Serious Does
Serious is a clean Work Speed +20% with no drawback — the entry point of the work speed family that runs up through
Artisan
(+50%),
Remarkable Craftsmanship
(+75%), and
Demon’s Hand
(+90%). Its negative mirrors are
Clumsy
(-10%) and
Slacker
(-30%).
Work speed passives stack, so Serious stays useful long after you unlock the bigger ones — on a dedicated crafter it's a fine fourth slot next to the heavy hitters. On Pals that never work at a base, it does nothing.
How to Get It
Serious is one of the default options at the
Pal Surgery Table
— no implant needed, 10,000 gold per surgery. It also rolls on wild Pals like any common passive, but with surgery this cheap there's no reason to hunt for it. See the implants guide for how surgery works and the best passive skills guide for the full worker stack.
