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!
How Do I Know My Wealth Tier?
Your initial Wealth Tier is determined by your starter pack. After that, you will gain or lose Wealth Points each season. Those Wealth Points determine where you are in the list of Wealth Tiers.
Below is a list of the Wealth Tiers with the Wealth Points in parentheses after them:
- Absolute Poverty (0 - 5)
- Destitute (6 -14)
- Poor (15 - 30)
- Struggling (31 -50)
- Average (51 - 75)
- Comfortable (76 - 100)
- Wealthy (101 - 130)
- Very Wealthy (131 -160)
- Rich (161 -200)
- Filthy Rich (201+)
