What Are Wealth Points?
Each Wealth Tier has a number of Wealth Points associated with it. These are indicative of how firmly in that Tier you are, and how close you are to the next Tier.
How Can I Use Them?
There are, fundamentally, two things that you can do with Wealth Points. Either spend them on items / goods above your current Wealth Tier as listed in the price list or, you can save them and work towards the next Wealth Tier.
It is important to note that someone having more Wealth Points or less in a particular Wealth Tier has no impact on their lifestyle within that Tier - it is disposable income which might allow for more one off purchases, or it's an indication of working towards a better lifestyle. That's up to you, the player.
How Do I Gain Wealth Points?
You gain Wealth Points in a number of ways:
- Wealth Threads Each season you can undertake a "Wealth Thread" - this is a thread where you use your identified Wealth Skill for the season. Your first Wealth Thread earns you 2 Wealth Points and, the next season your Wealth Thread earns you 3, the next season 4. This cumulative bonus continues indefinitely.
- Other Threads Here on Standing Trials we have many Types of Thread. If, in your thread you have a situation where you might earn a Wealth Point, you can ask for one in your Review Request. Please note, however, that you can only do this after you have completed your Wealth Thread for the season and submitted it for review.
- Moderated Threads if you take part in a moderated thread, be that an event or a one to one moderated thread, the mod in question might choose to give you Wealth Point rewards. That is entirely at Mod discretion, though.
How Do I Lose Wealth Points?
There are two ways to lose wealth points. First - spend them! That has already been covered above. The other way to lose Wealth Points is by choosing not to write a Wealth Thread in a given season. If you do not write a Wealth Thread, you will not be able to gain any other Wealth Points and you will lose 2 Wealth Points per season. However, this is only for seasons you write in! If your pc is retired or you simply don't write at all that season, you remain as you are.
