Earning money is fairly straight forward. The bulk of your income will be given to you in the form of Seasonal Wages. In order to qualify, all you have to do is post 450 words in a thread that was started in the current season. After doing this, you are able to post in the relevant thread here.

Your wages are determined as follows:

Base Wage: Divide your highest stat by 100 and round up. Add 1 for every Business Skill you have.
Someone with 750 Strength and 2 Business Skills would have a base Wage of 8 + 2 = 10.

Multipliers:
Base Multiplier: 100
+50 per Combat and Magic skill you have
+250 per Major Combat or Magic skill you have
+200 per Business skill
+1000 per Major Business Skill
+10 per completed collaborative thread completed LAST season
+50 per season you've been on ADBZ6

Total: Multiply your Base Wage by your Total Multiplier

Your living standard is a a reflection of how luxurious a lifestyle you are able to live. This is mostly a roleplay concept which can be skirted in solo threads, but is enforced in event threads. Mechanical benefits and drawbacks to various living standards may be implemented in the future.

If you are a part of an organization, your status with them determines your living standard whilst living in their barracks and carrying out your duties.

Poor: Under 2,000 seasonal wages. You often have a hard time finding shelter and food. You are generally looked down on wherever you go, regardless of how strong you are.

Average: 2,000-5,000 seasonal wages. You live in relatively normal accomodations and can afford the bare necessities.

Above-Average: 5,000-15,000 seasonal wages. You are doing pretty well for yourself. You can get swanky hotels and accomodations from time to time and rarely have to worry about something being too expensive.

Wealthy: 15,000-50,000 seasonal wages. Money is generally an afterthought in all of your endeavors. You could probably earn more of it, but what's the point?

Elite: 50,000+ seasonal wages. Your wealth is so overwhelming that you couldn't hide it if you tried. People recognize your name and face from the tabloids.
