 Beggar (Bettler)
 Day Laborer (Tagelöhner)
 Tinsmith (Zinngießer)
 Goldsmith (Goldschmied)
 Market Warden (Marktwart)
 Gardener (Gartenbauer)

From the publisher:

"Here are six new craftsmen you can add to your Pillars of the Earth games! They are compatible with both the basic game and the expansion. These craftsmen are mixed together with the ones in the basic game (and the expansion if you are using it). But the number of craftsmen available is not increased. In 2-4 player games, only four craftsmen are available each round, as normal (two on the spaces in Shiring, and two below the board with the resource cards). In 5 or 6 player games, there are five craftsmen each round (three below the board). Before the game begins, randomly remove one craftsman from each round, and return them unseen to the box."
