Jack in Graveyard Keeper 2

Jack is a foreman and builder with a shipbuilding background.

You first meet him on Twins' Land during Jack in a Boat; after that he works from Jack's Workshop in The Town.

His reputation is the gate for several factory and steel technologies, so it pays to advance him early.

The first quest asks for 5 Wooden Planks and then 5 Bronze Details.

You also need 10 Village reputation to persuade the brothers to help with the rowing.

Complete the Workshop Hours order at the Town Warehouse and speak to Jack; it gives 10 Jack reputation and one Town Gratitude.

Clear the zombies around his workshop during Jack's Back in Business. Entering the liberated workshop gives another 10 reputation and 2 Town Gratitude.

Then bring 5 Building Kit I and 5 Wooden Kit I, as two separate hand-ins in either order. The repair gives 10 reputation, 2 Town Gratitude and makes you Jack's apprentice.

Delivering only one kit type leaves the workshop unfinished — a common reason the quest seems stuck.

Man of Steel sends you to the Bishop at the Royal Foundry for high-quality steel. Hand Jack 3 Steel Ingots for 10 reputation and 3 Town Gratitude.

It unlocks Factory Tour, which awards another 10 Jack reputation.

Our steel guide covers the route to the Royal Foundry.

60 reputation: required for Stars, Lies, and Contracts, where Gunter recruits Jack as a frontman and Jack signs the PR contract.

70 reputation: needed alongside Iron Products to research Steel Smithing and its Steel Anvil.

80 reputation: unlocks Jack's Pride fragment, a portal fragment reward.

Fextralife also notes a 50-reputation step and his restoration requests before the Conveyors technology opens.

Count what you have done: Workshop Hours, entering the workshop, the repair, Man of Steel and Factory Tour are 10 each.

If you are short, look for the step you skipped — usually the second kit hand-in or the steel delivery.
