Promotions for Apprentice Healers

How does one get a promotion within the Hall? First, check your persona's age and length of time as a healer. Considering the average Pernese apprentices at 12, the earliest age for Sr Apprentice is 15 (or three turns of experience). To earn this promotion, the character must also gain the Hallmaster's approval. To make Jr Journeyman, one must be 18, or have 6 turns of experience and gain the Hallmaster's approval. For Sr Journeyman, one must be at least 21, or have 9 turns of experience and gain the Hallmaster's approval.
For Master, club government must first approve a need for an additional Master, and the Hallmaster must approve the promotion to Master. The promotion is then put to the Hall's healers for a vote. It is strongly preferred that a member already have a senior journeyman/woman who is at least 30 and has at least 18 turns of experience before trying for Master.

Secondly, learn the basic Pernese herbs, how they are used, and what they do. You don't have to memorize them - that's what the herbal scrolls are for. But if you've earned a reputation for repeatedly slapping numbweed on every injury, you're unlikely to gain a promotion. The herbs are the basis for the healercraft, and one must post correctly with them.

Thirdly, post with your persona as a healer - get noticed. The Hallmaster is not going to approve a promotion for a healer if the first question when the persona name is brought up is "Who's that?".
