 Wilderness PCs may earn [[Wealth Points]] the same as any other PC and complete [[Wealth Thread|Wealth Threads]] in the same way.

 These work slightly differently, as the PCs do not live a "conventional" lifestyle. For Wilderness PCs, their Wealth Tier is determined by their [[Field Craft]] or [[Hunting]] skill. Each level of that skill is associated with a Wealth Tier. This means that those who take the [[Wilderness Pack]] start in Tier 1 and, when they reach Competent they move up to Tier 2, etc. However, their starting package means that they are able to live in a self sufficient manner. [[Wealth Threads]] for a Wilderness PC should be a Wilderness or Survival thread, with trade and barter coming later on (as seen in the description of the Tiers). The same is true for those taking the [[Seafarer's Pack]] - whose Wealth Skill is likely to be [[Seafaring]] or [[Navigation]]. If the individual PC wishes to default their [[Wealth Skill]] to another skill, the case for this must be put forward in the PSF and will be approved so long as it fits with the character story (eg: A traveling circus performer might have [[Acrobatics]] that's fine). This can be done on character creation or at any time thereafter.

 Once a Wilderness or Seafaring PC has reached maximum Wealth Tier due to skill, their <b>wage</b> is maxed out. However, as they accrue Wealth Points, their Wealth Tier increases as does every other pc.

 =What Are Wealth Tiers?=
 Here on Standing Trials, your wealth is measured in Tiers. Each Tier is an indication of your lifestyle overall and encompasses all aspects of that lifestyle. Items in the price list, your clothing, housing and so on are all determined by Wealth Tiers, so make sure that you understand not only what your Wealth Tier is, but also where it fits in the bigger picture of wealth (and poverty) on Idalos!
