Task

How better to make your fortune than to become a black-market Moonshiner. Establish your own bootlegging business in this new Specialist Role – an ideal fit for players progressing along the Trader path or anyone seeking a property to call their own.

Purchase an unassuming Moonshining Shack, the main floor acting as a front with all the details of an ordinary homestead. The basement, however, is where you'll ultimately get down to business.
