Please refer to the tables below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for availability of food per Wealth Tier. Items Available Per Tier gives an outline of items that your PC may access without spending Wealth Points (so, for free) depending on your Wealth Tier. Per Tier, assume that you have access to enough food on a trial by trial basis to feed one person.

For alcohol, see Drugs & Medicine.

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it.

Cost	Purchase	Quality of Purchase
1 WP	40 trials' worth of food	poor quality
1 WP	35 trials' worth of food	poor+ quality
1 WP	30 trials' worth of food	basic quality

Players can buy most food items from their city's marketplace. It is up to each individual player as to whether or not their PC is hunting for or cooking their own food or purchasing it at markets or restaurants. It is important that you consider your regional variations when thinking about what your PC eats / cooks / buys. Seasons and availability will make a massive difference. Please note that the examples included in the Edibles Section of the Shoppe are real-world examples and are meant to give you, the player, an idea of what is available. However, as Idalos is a fantasy setting, please check your city resources and be aware of the more unusual ingredients you may utilize.

Please note that these are the levels at which certain edibles can be easily bought from the market. Lower-Tier ingredients may be processed into higher-Tier foods as long as it is done in thread (e.g. flour into bread). Please also note that each Tier's access to sweet treats is a good indicator of whether or not other non-essential edibles are available.

When determining your PC's diet, always ensure to take regional variations in cuisine into account.

Finally, while the higher Tiers have access to more and better food, it is up to each individual player, as long as their Wealth Tier allows, to decide whether they would rather eat fancy cakes and champagne or mutton and potatoes. Each player, regardless of Tier, is able to access the type and/or quality of edibles at their Wealth Tier and below.

Please refer to the tables below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for availability of medicine and alcohol per Wealth Tier. Items Available Per Tier gives an outline of items that your PC may access without spending Wealth Points (so, for free) depending on your Wealth Tier.

• Poor-quality drugs and medicine:
  • Will be made out of cheap ingredients by someone with no or very limited skill in crafting drugs and medicine. Drugs and medicines are generally unprocessed (e.g. left in their roughest forms), and have a significant chance of negative side effects.

• Basic-quality drugs and medicine:
  • Will be made out of basic-quality ingredients by someone with Novice-level skill in crafting drugs and medicine. Drugs and medicines are generally unprocessed though may have some processing, and have a good chance of negative side effects.

• Average-quality drugs and medicine:
  • Will be made out of average-quality ingredients by someone with Competent-level skill in crafting drugs and medicine. Drugs and medicines have some processing, and have an even chance of negative side effects.

• Good-quality drugs and medicine:
  • Will be made out of good-quality ingredients by someone with Expert-level skill in crafting drugs and medicine. Drugs and medicines are well-processed and double-checked for quality, which means that they will likely not have many negative side effects. However, the side effects inherent to each individual drug or medicine still apply when overused (e.g. hangovers when having consumed too much alcohol, etc.).

• Luxury-quality drugs and medicine:
  • Will be made out of high-quality ingredients by someone with Master- or Grandmaster-level skill in crafting drugs and medicine. Drugs and medicines are very well-processed and are of the highest quality, which means that they will almost never have any negative side effects. However, the side effects inherent to each individual drug or medicine still apply when overused.

Examples of skills related to drug- and medicine-crafting are Chemistry, Gardening, Brewing, and Vinting.

Due to the items available, different Tiers have access to more and higher-quality jewelry (Tier 1 jewelry is of poor quality, Tier 2 jewelry is of poor+ quality, Tier 3 jewelry is of basic quality, etc.). Going up the Tier System, you may access items from the Tiers below you. This means that you may access jewelry that is worse in quality than that which is offered to you, if you so please.

You may choose to have lower-Tier jewelry *instead* of the jewelry offered to you at your own Wealth Tier. Making alterations in this way does not change how many sets of jewelry you are due by your Tier. Tier 10 will still be able to choose 5 sets of jewelry, for example.

So, at Tier 6:
Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, and Tier 5 jewelry is available,
or
You may choose your default Tier 6 option.

Please note that this only applies to *accessing* jewelry that is available to you through your Wealth Tier. You may still *purchase* jewelry at any Tier level using your Wealth Points.

Please also note that while the higher Tiers have access to more and better jewelry, it is up to each individual player, as long as their Wealth Tier allows, to decide whether they would rather wear onyx and gold or simple beaded jewelry from Tier 1.

Additionally, when going up and down in the Tier System, PCs are allowed to keep the items they received from Wealth Tiers prior.

• Iron
  • Iron jewelry is very inexpensive and is a common choice for the common folk. Studier than both copper and bronze jewelry though less pretty, it is usually used to make jewelry which the wearer does not want to lose or break.

• Bronze
  • Bronze jewelry is another common choice for the majority of the population. Despite its popularity, bronze is not the best metal for making jewelry and because of this, it is very likely to break. Bronze chains don't hold well for a long period of time, and any stones or beads used as decoration tend to chip off. This means that unless the jewelry is well-tended, it will fall apart and need replacing.

• Copper
  • Copper jewelry is much like bronze jewelry in that it is very likely to bend, scratch, and break. Copper jewelry is also very likely to stain the skin. Despite that, it has a very pretty, reddish hue.

• Silver
  • Jewelry made from silver is often sought after because it gives the wearer a certain noble air. Silver jewelry can withstand a lot of wear and tear as well as hold onto the stones and beads set into it. Silver doesn't stain the skin like bronze or copper, but it does tend to show a lot of scratches over time and also has the tendency to lose its luster.

• Gold
  • Gold jewelry is a way of signifying one's status. Though it can still be scratched, gold doesn't lose its luster the same way that silver does. It doesn't stain the skin like bronze or copper, and isn't known for losing its beads and stones like some of the other metals. Most consider gold the best type of metal for jewelry, which is why gold is standard when it comes to the mid-to-high Wealth Tiers.

• Onyx
  • Onyx jewelry is typically worn by the champions of the Immortals, royalty, and the political powerhouses of the world. Owning onyx jewelry defines one's station the moment the person steps into the room. Onyx is a prized, rare stone that is sought after by most. Unlike gold jewelry, onyx jewelry hardly ever receives scratches, and to have a piece of jewelry comprised entirely of onyx is exceedingly rare.

Other Metals & Gemstones

Gemstones by Tier

Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Check the Creating the World Forum, the Standing Trials wiki, or submit your own gemstone (also in the Creating the World Forum) for other possible types of gem.

Wealth Tier	Gemstone	Notes
Tier 3	Aventurine	Aventurine is a type of green, sparkly Quartz often used for carvings. It is also used to make very cheap, though fetching, decorative jewelry.
Tier 3	Cristobalite	Cristobalite usually occurs in small clear or white crystals which typically show up as inclusions in other types of stone. When isolated, these little crystals are perfect for cheap but pretty jewelry, especially when set into rings.
Tier 3	Dendritic Agate	Dendritic Agate is a whitish-gray stone. Though sometimes mistaken for everyday rocks, some specimens of Dendritic Agate have a lovely black or brown pattern which runs through the stone similar to the branches of a plant or tree. These gemstones are quite common but hardly ever used.
Tier 3	Fuchsite	Fuchsite is a green to teal stone which can have sections of eggshell white. In its uncut form, it has a dimpled surface and a unique way of catching the light which makes it seem to sparkle, though it has no true iridescence.
Tier 3	Grossularite Garnet	Grossularite Garnet is a common gemstone found in the Southern Region of Idalos. It is typically a pale green-grey in color with specks of black, and is often used to decorate weapons and armor.
Tier 3	Mali Garnet	Mali Garnet is a common gemstone found across all of the regions of Idalos. Its color ranges from pale yellow to gold to yellow-orange to light copper-brown.
Tier 3	Mica	Mica is an odd, crumbly stone made of fine layers of silver-reflective material that is easily flaked away. It has no practical uses for jewelry or decorating weapons or armor, but can be easily ground into a fine dust used to brighten pigments.
Tier 3	Zoisite	Though a normally dull and unlustrous stone of green and black used mostly for carving, Zoisite can take form in many grades of luster and color, including glasslike yellow, green, blue, and even violet.
Tier 4	Agate	Agates are considered a fairly common gemstone found across Idalos, known for their multi-colorful, generally-concentric patterns of lines and shapes. Agates are one of the more popular stones favored by adventurers.
Tier 4	Almandine Garnet	Almandine Garnet is a matte gemstone, colored dark red-brown or dark purple-red. Garnets in general are very popular for their excellent hardness and brilliance.
Tier 4	Amber	Amber is considered a fairly common gemstone found across Idalos. It is a pure, almost see-through yellow-orange, and can sometimes contain pieces of plants or full insects that have become stuck, perpetually, in its center.
Tier 4	Andalusite	Andalusite is a strongly pleochroic gem, which means that it can display different colors when viewed from different angles.

Please refer to the tables below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for availability of armor and shields per Wealth Tier. Items Available Per Tier gives an outline of items that your PC may access without spending Wealth Points (so, for free) depending on your Wealth Tier.

For the purposes of this section, a set of armor includes any number of separate pieces of armor which, altogether, would compose a full set. A set of leather or studded leather armor might differ in composition to a set of chainmail, scalemail, or plate. For the purposes of purchasing armor and shielding, 1 full set of armor comes with 1 shield of the same quality and type.

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it.

Please keep in mind that the style of your armor depends on the smith who has crafted it. The same way that different fine artists approach painting or sculpting in different ways, each smith has their own method of artistry, their own style and technique. One person's scalemail armor might look very different from another's. Armor and shielding, by no means, has to be uniform.

That being said, there are certain standards when it comes to the quality of your armor.

• Poor-quality armor and shields:
  • Will be made out of cheap materials by someone with no or very limited craft skills. Armor and shields are plain, unadorned, and are likely to need very careful upkeep lest they have to be replaced.

• Basic-quality armor and shields:
  • Will be made out of basic-quality materials by someone with Novice craft skills. Armor and shields are plain, unadorned, and tend to need careful upkeep lest they have to be replaced.

• Average-quality armor and shields:
  • Will be made out of average-quality materials by someone with Competent craft skills. Armor and shields are usually plain with minimal adornments. They require less-careful upkeep and unless they are damaged severely, will not need to be replaced.

• Good-quality armor and shields:
  • Will be made out of well-made materials by someone with Expert craft skills. Armor and shields have some detail and adornments. They still require upkeep, but unless they are damaged quite severely, they will not need to be replaced.

• Masterwork-quality armor and shields:
  • Will be made out of high-quality materials by someone with Master or Grandmaster craft skills. Armor and shields have as many details and adornments as are wanted. They still require upkeep, but masterwork-quality armor and shields are of such high quality and such excellent craftsmanship that they are rarely damaged severely, which means that they will hardly ever need to be replaced.

Please note that adornments at any Tier may include inset gemstones or added jewelry, coloring, filigree or gilding of precious or high-quality metals, embossing or engraving, etc.

Any and all purchases using Wealth Points must be recorded in your Wealth Point ledger.

Please note that PCs may purchase additional armor and shields using their Wealth Points.

They may add this same set of armor and shield each arc that they remain in the Tier.

Due to the items available, different Tiers have different types and qualities of armor and shields. This means that at many Tiers, the armors and shields available are, by default, not of average quality. One Tier, for example, might offer good-quality Tier 6 armor while also offering basic-quality Tier 8 armor.

Going up the Tier System, you may access items from the Tiers below you. This means that you may access armor and shields that are different in type or that are worse in quality than those that are offered to you, if you so please.

You may choose to have lower-Tier armor and shielding *instead* of the items offered to you at your own Wealth Tier. Making alterations in this way does not change how many sets of armor and shields you are due by your Tier. Tier 10 will still be able to choose 3 full sets of armor and 3 shields, for example.

At Tier 6:
Tier 3 armor and shields are available at masterwork quality,
or
You may choose from the rest of your Tier 6 options.

At Tier 7:
Tier 3 armor and shields are available at masterwork quality,
or
Tier 4 armor and shields are available at masterwork quality,
or
You may choose from the rest of your Tier 7 options.

At Tier 10, this means that:
Tier 3 armor and shields are available at masterwork quality,
or
Tier 4 armor and shields are available at masterwork quality,
or
Tier 6 armor and shields are available at masterwork quality,
or
You may choose from the rest of your Tier 10 options.

Please note that this only applies to *accessing* armor and shields that are available to you through your Wealth Tier. You may still *purchase* armor and shields at any Tier level using your Wealth Points.

Please also note that while the higher Tiers have access to more and better items, it is up to each individual player, as long as their Wealth Tier allows, to decide whether they would rather wear plate armor or leather.

Additionally, when going up and down in the Tier System, PCs are allowed to keep the items they received from Wealth Tiers prior.

You have the ability to customize your armor and shields, usually by having them made out of specific types of metal. For that process, see Metals. Please note that leather armor and studded leather armor do not contain enough metal to warrant such modifications.

Please also note that the Metals Section of the Shoppe is not exhaustive. Check the Creating the World Forum, the Standing Trials wiki, or submit your own metal (also in the Creating the World Forum) for other possible types of metal.

Unless you choose to customize your armor, all types of armor (minus leather) are made of iron. All types of shields, when made of metal, are also, by default, made of iron.

Wealth Tier	Armor or Shield	Notes
Tier 3	Leather Armor	Leather armor typically consists of hardened animal hides, and is most commonly found on hunters or rangers. It is a lightweight type of armor that will provide some protection from heavy blows and from cuts or slashes, through it may be easily pierced.
Tier 3	Tier 3 Shields	Tier 3 shields encompass any of a group of wielded wooden implements which are used to deflect or stop missiles or to lessen the intensity of incoming blows. The weight and general durability of a shield depends greatly on the material used to manufacture it. Tier 3 shields are mostly made of wood, though may also include some leather.
Tier 4	Studded Leather Armor	Studded leather armor is made of hardened animal hides with metal studs placed at even intervals along the length and width. These studs give added durability, but come with a light addition of weight. Studded leather armor will protect better than plain leather armor against cutting and slashing, as well as piercing weapons.
Tier 4	Tier 4 Shields	Tier 4 shields are any of a group of wielded wooden implements which are used to deflect or stop missiles or to lessen the intensity of incoming blows. The weight and general durability of a shield depends greatly on the material used to manufacture it. Tier 4 shields are mostly made of better-quality wood, though may also include some leather.
Tier 6	Chainmail Armor	Chainmail armor is made of intertwined links of metal which drape the body. The metallic rings used in chainmail are capable of deflecting many blades, and even weaker projectiles, though those with especially small points will be able to slip between the rings.
Tier 6	Scalemail Armor	Scalemail armor is composed of overlapping layers of metal which drape the body. While this suffers from an added level of weight in comparison to chainmail, it is nevertheless lighter than plate armor, and provides fair protection against most common forms of bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage.
Tier 6	Tier 6 Shields	Tier 6 shields are any of a group of wielded wooden or leather implements which are used to deflect or stop missiles or to lessen the intensity of incoming blows. The weight and general durability of a shield depends greatly on the material used to manufacture it. Tier 6 shields are mostly made of the best-quality wood, and may heavily incoporate leather, as well as some metal.
Tier 8	Plate Armor	Full sheets of metal comprise this suit of knightly armor, granting it a level of unmatched durability in combat. Few weapons are capable of piercing the tough exterior of plate armor, though the joints are typically exposed to allow for ease-of-movement. This is easily the most expensive and weightiest form of available armor.
Tier 8	Tier 8 Shields	Tier 8 shields are any of a group of wielded wooden, leather, or metal implements which are used to deflect or stop missiles or to lessen the intensity of incoming blows. The weight and general durability of a shield depends greatly on the material used to manufacture it. Tier 8 shields are mostly made of high-quality materials, and may favor wood, leather, metal, or a combination of all three heavily in their design.

Please refer to the tables below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for availability of weapons per Wealth Tier. Items Available Per Tier gives an outline of items that your PC may access without spending Wealth Points (so, for free) depending on your Wealth Tier.

For the purposes of this section, weapons can be purchased singularly or in sets, depending on their type. Daggers, for instance, might be purchased in multiples; a warhammer will be purchased singularly. See Items Available Per Tier. for examples of how weapons should be purchased. Smaller weapons, weapons which are meant to be dual-wielded, weapons which are simple in their design, or weapons which are used to be shot or thrown will typically be purchased in sets.

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it.

This table covers weapons which fall into the categories Axes & Bludgeons, Blades, Polearms & Staves, Ranged Weaponry, Thrown Weaponry, Unarmed Combat, and Whips. For Shields, see Armor.

Exemptions to this are cannonballs and ballista arrows / bolts, which fall under the category Seige Weaponry but which should be purchased using this table. However, purchasing Seige Weaponry of any type requires approval from your City Prophet.

Cost	Purchase	Quality of Purchase
1 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	poor quality
2 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	poor+ quality
3 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	basic quality
4 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	basic+ quality
5 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	average quality
6 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	average+ quality
7 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	good quality
8 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	good+ quality
9 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	masterwork quality
10 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	masterwork+ quality

Arrows & Bolts for Bows and Crossbows

For the purposes of purchasing additional projectiles for your bow or crossbow, the cost of projectiles is a one-time 5 Wealth Point fee. This one-time fee buys you infinite projectiles of your choice (either bolts or arrows) at masterwork+ quality.

See Ranged Weaponry in Items Available Per Tier. for more information on the purchasing of bolts and arrows.

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it. However, purchasing Seige Weaponry of any type requires approval from your City Prophet.

Cost	Purchase	Quality of Purchase
9 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	poor+ quality
11 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	basic+ quality
12 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	average+ quality
14 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	good+ quality
15 WP	1 weapon or set of weapons	masterwork+ quality

Please keep in mind that, like with armor and shielding, the style of your weaponry depends on the smith who has crafted it. The same way that different fine artists approach painting or sculpting in different ways, each smith has their own method of artistry, their own style and technique. One person's battle axe might look very different from another's. Weaponry, by no means, has to be uniform.

That being said, there are certain standards when it comes to the quality of your weapons.

• Poor-quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of very cheap materials by someone with no or very limited craft skills. Weapons are plain, unadorned, and are likely to need very careful upkeep lest they have to be replaced. These weapons are of very poor quality, and represent below-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at this level.

• Poor+ quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of cheap materials by someone with no or very limited craft skills. Weapons are plain, unadorned, and are likely to need very careful upkeep lest they have to be replaced. Despite this, these weapons represent above-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at this level. Simply put, poor+ quality weapons are of better stock than poor weapons. In battle, a poor+ quality weapon might break a poor-quality weapon, especially one that has not been properly kept.

• Basic-quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of basic-quality materials by someone with Novice craft skills. Weapons are plain, unadorned, and tend to need careful upkeep lest they have to be replaced. These weapons are of very basic quality, and represent below-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at Novice level.

• Basic+ quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of basic+ materials by someone with Novice craft skills. Weapons are plain, unadorned, and tend to need careful upkeep lest they have to be replaced. Despite this, these weapons represent above-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at Novice level. Simply put, basic+ quality weapons are of better stock than basic weapons. In battle, a basic+ quality weapon might break a basic-quality weapon, especially one that has not been properly kept.

• Average-quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of average-quality materials by someone with Competent craft skills. Weapons are usually plain with minimal adornments. They require less-careful upkeep and unless they are damaged severely, will not need to be replaced.

• Average+ quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of average+ materials by someone with Competent craft skills. Weapons are usually plain with minimal adornments. They require less-careful upkeep and unless they are damaged severely, will not need to be replaced. Average+ weapons represent above-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at Competent level. Simply put, average+ quality weapons are of better stock than average weapons. In battle, an average+ quality weapon might break an average-quality weapon, though one weapon breaking another at this level is relatively rare.

• Good-quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of well-made materials by someone with Expert craft skills. Weapons have some detail and adornments. They still require upkeep, but unless they are damaged quite severely, they will not need to be replaced.

• Good+ quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of well-made materials by someone with Expert craft skills. Weapons have some detail and adornments. They still require upkeep, but unless they are damaged quite severely, they will not need to be replaced. Good+ weapons represent above-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at Expert level. Simply put, good+ quality weapons are of better stock than good weapons. In battle, a good+ quality weapon might break a good-quality weapon, though one weapon breaking another at this level is considerably rare.

• Masterwork-quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of high-quality materials by someone with Master craft skills. Weapons have as many details and adornments as are wanted. They still require upkeep, but masterwork-quality weapons are of such high quality and such excellent craftsmanship that they are rarely damaged severely, which means that they will hardly ever need to be replaced.

• Masterwork+ quality weapons:
  • Will be made out of high-quality materials by someone with Master or Grandmaster craft skills. Weapons have as many details and adornments as are wanted. They still require upkeep, but masterwork+ quality weapons are of such high quality and such excellent craftsmanship that they are rarely damaged severely, which means that they will hardly ever need to be replaced. Masterwork+ weapons represent above-average standards when it comes to craftsmanship at Master or even Grandmaster level. Simply put, masterwork+ quality weapons are of the best stock possible, better even than masterwork weapons. In battle, a masterwork+ quality weapon might break a masterwork-quality weapon, though at this level one weapon breaking another is exceedingly rare.

Please note that adornments at any Tier may include inset gemstones or added coloring, filigree or gilding of precious or high-quality metals, inlay or engraving, pattern welding, etc.

They may add an additional masterwork+ weapon or set of weapons each arc that they remain in the Tier.

Due to the items available, different Tiers have different qualities of weaponry (Tier 1 is poor, Tier 2 is poor+, Tier 3 is basic, etc.). Going up the Tier System, you may access items from the Tiers below you. This means that you may access weapons that are worse in quality than those that are offered to you, if you so please.

You may choose to have lower-Tier weapons *instead* of the weapons offered to you at your own Wealth Tier. Making alterations in this way does not change how many weapons or sets of weapons you are due by your Tier. Tier 9 and Tier 10 will still be able to choose 4 weapons or sets of weapons, for example.

At Tier 6:
Poor, poor+, basic, basic+, and average weapons are available,
or
You may choose your default Tier 6 option (average+ quality).

Please note that this only applies to *accessing* weapons that is available to you through your Wealth Tier. You may still *purchase* weapons at any Tier level using your Wealth Points.

Please also note that while the higher Tiers have access to more and better items, it is up to each individual player, as long as their Wealth Tier allows, to decide whether they would rather use a sword or crossbow at either poor or high quality.

Additionally, when going up and down in the Tier System, PCs are allowed to keep the items they received from Wealth Tiers prior.

You have the ability to customize your weapons, usually by having them made out of specific types of metal. For that process, see Metals. Please note that the Metals Section of the Shoppe is not exhaustive. Check the Creating the World Forum, the Standing Trials wiki, or submit your own metal (also in the Creating the World Forum) for other possible types of metal.

Unless you choose to customize your weapons, all types of weaponry, unless they require other materials in their construction, are made of iron, leather, and wood.

Please refer to the tables below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for the availability of metals per Wealth Tier. Items Available Per Tier gives an outline of items that your PC may access without spending Wealth Points (so, for free) depending on your Wealth Tier.

To make modifications to the weapons, armor, or mount armor you have purchased, please use the modifiers located in Items Available Per Tier. To determine the final cost of your modified item, take the original cost of the item, found either in the Armor, Weapons, or Mounts sections of the Shoppe, and multiply using the modifier for the type of metal you would like to use.

If you would like to make modifications using an alloy made of two or more metals, use the highest modifier amongst the metals you would like to use.

When applying a modifier, always round *up*.

So, if you purchased an average+ quality longsword for 6 WP, and are modifying your longsword to be made of steel instead of iron, the cost of your modified longsword would be:

6wp x 1.15 = 6.9wp rounded up to 7wp.

You may purchase metal ingots in order to craft items like weapons and armor.

When crafting items in threads, your Skill Level in your Craft Skill determines the quality of the items you may craft. Additionally, your Skill Level determines the access you have to Crafting Materials above your own Wealth Tier. Please refer to the Crafting section of the Shoppe for more detail.

Before you purchase metal ingots, please also refer to the Tier Restrictions below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for the availability of metals per Wealth Tier. Please note that you do not need to purchase metal ingots unless the metal is restricted for your Skill Level and/or Wealth Tier.

Please reference the Crafting section before referencing the Tier Restrictions below.

For instance, if you are Competent in Smithing and if your Wealth Tier is Tier 5:

The Crafting section details that at Competent Level, you have access to Crafting Materials 1 Tier above your own.

This means that, when referring to your Wealth Tier and the Tier Restrictions below, you do not need to purchase Common or Uncommon metals, but you do need to purchase Rare, Very Rare, and Priceless metals when smithing items that you wish to use yourself or sell in threads.

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it.

1 metal ingot is required to craft a weapon or set of weapons. In the Weapons section, see Items Available Per Tier. for examples of weapons that are crafted singularly or in sets.

2 metal ingots are required to craft a full set of armor.

Cost	Purchase	Quality of Purchase
1 WP	1 ingot of any Tier 1 or Tier 2 metal	undefined
2 WP	1 ingot of any Tier 3 or Tier 4 metal	undefined
3 WP	1 ingot of any Tier 5 or Tier 6 metal	undefined
4 WP	1 ingot of any Tier 7 or Tier 8 metal	undefined
5 WP	1 ingot of any Tier 9 or Tier 10 metal	undefined

Metal Ingot Quality

Please note that all metal ingots purchased are of a purposefully undefined quality. This means that the quality of Crafting Materials purchased will not affect the overall quality of the items crafted. The quality of the items you craft is determined by your Skill Level, not by the quality of the materials you are crafting with.

---

Any and all purchases using Wealth Points must be recorded in your Wealth Point ledger.

For the purposes of modifying arms, armor, and mount armor, metals come in five levels of rarity. The levels of rarity are Commom, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, and Priceless. The more rare a certain metal is, the higher its modifier will be.

Please note that certain Priceless metals are typically only given by the gods. This means that as long as a god is willing to grant a Priceless metal to your PC, you may own a Pricless metal even if you are not Tier 10. This also goes for any arms, armor, or mount armor granted by Prophets as rewards for a thread. Such items should be recorded in your CS.

Wealth Tier	Notes
Tier 1 - Tier 5	Tier 1 - Tier 5 have access to Common metals.
Tier 6 - Tier 7	Tier 6 - Tier 7 have access to Common and Uncommon metals.
Tier 8	Tier 8 has access to Common, Uncommon, and Rare metals.
Tier 9	Tier 9 has access to Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Very Rare metals.
Tier 10	Tier 10 has access to all metals, including Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, and Priceless metals. However, to attain certain Priceless metals, a Tier 10 PC must apply for the metal via the PSF.

Please note that the modifiers in this table do not apply to the Jewelry Section of the Shoppe.

Please also note that the Metals Section of the Shoppe is not exhaustive. Check the Creating the World Forum, the Standing Trials wiki, or submit your own metal (also in the Creating the World Forum) for other possible types of metal.

Metal	Wealth Tier	Rarity	Modifier	Notes
Idalinium	Tier 1	Common	x0.75	A common metal, idalinium can be harvested from pretty much anywhere in the world. It appears light grey in color, is very malleable, and is very easy to work with. It is a metal preferred by craftsmen.
Iron	Tier 1	Default	n/a	Iron is often used in the production of inexpensive, durable items like armor and weapons. Iron is also used in a number of furniture pieces, construction, accessory pieces, and many other things. This metal is very dull in appearance, but is likely the most-used metal in the world of Idalos.
Tin	Tier 1	Common	x0.75	Cheaper and more malleable than either bronze or copper, tin is often used for flatware, as it it has long been determined to be a safe and nontoxic metal to eat off of. Tin is also sometimes used in jewelry. Despite its relative insignificance as a metal, tin is significant for its combination with copper, as a second metal added to copper hardens the copper and lowers its melting temperature. Tin and copper together create bronze. Tin is sometimes also used in combination with lead to create solder, an alloy of scientific and alchemic interest.
Copper	Tier 2	Common	x1.05	Highly conductive to electricity, relatively cheap and malleable, copper is a go-to for basic tools and implements and, like solder, is of interest to scientists and alchemists.
Crystalline	Tier 2	Common	x1.05	Crystalline is an ore with strange properties, though it is common compared to geminite. Crystalline can be found in caves, caverns, and pretty much anywhere dark and cold. It appears in many colors ranging from shades of pale green and purple to cream and, rarely, white. Crystalline can be transparent, depending on craftsmanship, but must be incorporated with other metals. Its durability is weaker than iron and in most cases, it serves better in jewelry and accessories. However, if fashioned with other metals, crystalline can appear mesmerizing to the eye.
Lead	Tier 2	Common	x1.05	Lead is an exceptionally heavy and fairly durable metal.
Bronze	Tier 3	Common	x1.1	Relatively cheap and malleable, bronze stands alongside copper as a go-to for basic tools and implements, and may even be forged into armament.
Cobalt	Tier 4	Common	x1.15	Cobalt metal is very sleek and shiny, appearing black, grey, or dark brown in color. Cobalt is a better form of metal preferred by armor and weapon crafters. Easy to work into shape and pleasant in appearance, cobalt metal is most commonly used within militaries across Idalos not only for its beauty, but for its price and durability.
Steel	Tier 4	Common	x1.15	Steel is a higher-grade metal used in the making of armor and weapons. Though it is a metal that is better suited for use in combat, it is not indestructible. Still, its durability is better than iron. Steel appears shiny compared to iron, but runs the risk of rusting and/or tarnishing, especially on long journeys.
Embersteel	Tier 5	Common	x1.2	Embersteel is a metal compound that contains hints of metals which give it a smoldering appearance when worked over and set. Surprisingly, embersteel is stronger than steel; however, it weighs much more than cobalt, iron, or steel, making it unfavorable to most.
Blood Metal	Tier 6	Uncommon	x1.25	Blood metal appears deep black with a reddish tint, and can be found near volcanoes, both active or inactive. It is a very light weight, malleable metal, often used in sheets as a lining to reinforce armor. Relatively common and fairly priced, blood metal tends to take on the coloration of other metals, if combined with them into alloys.
Silver	Tier 6	Uncommon	x1.25	Silver is a shiny metal valued for its beauty. It is most commonly used in jewelry, and is not typically found in non-decorative implements.
Gold	Tier 7	Uncommon	x1.3	Gold is another shiny metal valued for its beauty. It is an incredibly soft metal, and thus a poor choice for any weapon or armor.
Minithelite	Tier 7	Uncommon	x1.3	Minithelite is an uncommon metal produced from the bottom of the oceans. It is often worn by the Mer and contains compounds that allow the metal to blend into different locations, no matter the environment. However, minithelite is very soft, light weight, and breakable. Because of this, the metal is often used by tailors to craft items of concealment.
Adamantite	Tier 8	Rare	x1.35	Adamantite is a rare metal, harvested in remote locations around mountains, specifically around Sirothelle. Adamantite is said to hold special properties that allow it to slice through even the sharpest, strongest of materials. However, this effect is dependent on the level of craftsmanship put into the metal. This metal can yield strong, sharp blades or dull, breakable ones. Adamantite is mainly used for weapons, though it is malleable and can be used for armor as well. This metal appears as a burgundy color when finished.
Grave Gold	Tier 8	Rare	x1.35	Grave gold is found in locations where many or great deaths have taken place. A common-to-strong metal when it comes to durability, grave gold's biggest draw is its ability to alter color when exposed to blood. As such, grave gold is often made into weapons rather than armor. Though starting out pure white, silver, or light gold in color, the more blood exposed to the metal, the darker and redder it will become. The darkest weapons made of grave gold are wielded by Master or Grandmaster warriors, who display the deep black-red color of their weapon as a warning to all. Because grave gold absorbs blood it is, essentially, resistant to water damage or rust. This makes for a pretty weapon that can vary in shades of color, and which never tarnishes or loses its mirror-like shine.
Faldrunium	Tier 8	Rare	x1.35	Faldrunium earned its name for the metal's propensity to radiate heat. In optimal conditions, such as in areas of hot climate, weapons made from faldrunium may quickly reach temperatures of up to 600 degrees Celsius (1112 degrees Fahrenheit), giving the weapons a red-hot glow. Unlike conventional metals, the hotter faldrunium becomes the harder it becomes; but the reverse is also true. In cold climates, especially when temperatures reach -15 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit), faldrunium will begin to soften until it becomes unusable. If exposed to cold temperatures for too long, faldrunium weapons will lose their shape entirely. Faldrunium is a difficult metal to work with and a dangerous metal to use. It is advised that special sheaths or containers made to seal out both heat and cold be used to carry faldrunium weapons. No one in the history of Idalos has dared use this metal in armor, as in hot temperatures it would quickly burn them to ash.
Tienite	Tier 8	Rare	x1.35	Tienite is known by another name: glacier ore. Tienite is only found in the most remote of places, one being Oscillus. It is rumored that Treid's living body affects the land around him, thus giving the metal an ethereal radiance of blue and white. Even after smelting down the ore, tienite still radiates the same ethereal colors, causing anyone who wears the metal to appear surreal and divine. Tienite is as durable as embersteel, but unlike embersteel is light weight and easily worked. However, due to its rarity within the other regions of Idalos, this ore is priced at an exuberant amount.
Geminite	Tier 9	Very Rare	x1.4	Geminite is a type of ore found deep within mountains. Appearing as a cross between diamond and glass, geminite seems like liquid water, transparent and smooth, when being forged into items. This metal is highly durable and is easily combined with other metals. When incorporated with other metals, geminite takes on the color of the metals it is combined with, while still keeping its glassy appearance. Geminite makes for a lovely fashion piece.
Ghost Metal	Tier 9	Very Rare	x1.4	Ghost metal is found in areas of highly-active ghostly activity. Tangible to both the living and the dead, ghost metal bolsters the strength of souls, which means that ghosts tend to be drawn to it. A person who uses ghost metal is likely to experience paranormal events, though the metal will not give them the ability to perceive ghosts, nor to truly interact with them. Ghost metal is a fairly light-weight metal with a purplish glow. Items made from ghost metal tend to look ghostly in nature because of the metal's proclivity to give off a lingering mist.
Sorelian Steel	Tier 9	Very Rare	x1.4	Sorelian steel is a metal much more resiliant than iron, steel, cobalt, or even embersteel. Sorelian steel's unique durability is attributed to its ability to suffuse the impact of blows. Strikes that might severely damage other types of metal merely leave dents, scrapes, or small punctures in armor made of sorelian steel. However, because of these same properties, it is not a good metal for weaponry. A handsome metal though not as eye-catching as some, once crafted and polished, sorelian steel glimmers with a soft blue finish.
Corvantite	Tier 10	Priceless	x1.7	Corvantite is a special metal only obtained through circumstances which involve the Immortals. Corvantite is a metal that, even after it is fashioned into items, appears to have captured the wind. Beneath the surface of the metal, celestial colors are in constant motion. Not much is known of this metal, only that it is rarely seen except on the Champions of the Immortals. Corvantite requires PSF approval.
Euvomine	Tier 10	Priceless	x1.7	Euvomine is another metal only given from the Immortals. Euvomine, by nature, is very brittle and easily broken. It is not meant to be hammered into armor but rather sprinkled upon it. This metal is able to fuse on contact with other metals without staining or discoloring them in any way. Each gift of Euvomine has special properties only known by the Immortal who gifted it. Euvomine requires PSF approval.
Malorite	Tier 10	Very Rare	x1.45	Malorite is also known as star metal in Idalos. Star metal is hard to come by, often found in the most unlikely of places. It is very hard to craft into strong armor because of its rarity; however, when crafted properly it is known to withstand the sharpest of blades. Malorite, when refined from ore, appears to glisten as if giving off its own light. Translucent and seemingly starlit, malorite is coveted by many.

Please refer to the tables below (see Items Available Per Tier.) for availability of mounts per Wealth Tier. Items Available Per Tier gives an outline of items that your PC may access without spending Wealth Points (so, for free) depending on your Wealth Tier.

This section deals specifically with mounts. Mounts are animals which may be ridden over land, air, or sea. In this section, there are also mount accessories available, such as items needed to care for a mount and equipment for riding. To purchase animals other than mounts, see Animals. [Coming soon!]

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it.

Please note that upon the purchase of a mount, accessories for that mount will be included. To see examples of mount accessories, see Items Available Per Tier. Accessories do not include mount armor.

The overall quality of a mount is based on a combination of two factors. These two factors are the condition of the mount and its level of training.

The condition of the mount refers to the breeding of the animal and how well it has been cared for prior to being purchased. There are five levels of mount condition. These five levels are poor, basic, average, good, and excellent. For more information on mount condition, see Mount Condition & Training.

The level of training of the mount refers to how well the animal has been trained. There are five levels of mount training. These five levels are poor, basic, average, good, and excellent. For more information on mount training, see Mount Condition & Training.

• Poor-quality mounts:
  • Will be of poor condition, bred and raised by someone with no or very limited skill in Animal Husbandry. Poor-quality mounts will also have poor training, trained by someone with no or very limited skill in Animal Training.

• Poor+ quality mounts:
  • Will be of poor condition, bred and raised by someone with no or very limited skill in Animal Husbandry. However, poor+ quality mounts will have basic training, trained by someone with Novice-level skill in Animal Training.
    or
    
  • Will be of basic condition, bred and raised by someone with Novice-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, poor+ quality mounts will still have poor training, trained by someone with no or very limited skill in Animal Training.

• Basic-quality mounts:
  • Will be of basic condition, bred and raised by someone with Novice-level skill in Animal Husbandry. Basic-quality mounts will also have basic training, trained by someone with Novice-level skill in Animal Training.

• Basic+ quality mounts:
  • Will be of basic condition, bred and raised by someone with Novice-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, basic+ quality mounts will have average training, trained by someone with Competent-level skill in Animal Training.
    or
    
  • Will be of average condition, bred and raised by someone with Competent-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, basic+ quality mounts will still have basic training, trained by someone with Novice-level skill in Animal Training.

• Average-quality mounts:
  • Will be of average condition, bred and raised by someone with Competent-level skill in Animal Husbandry. Average-quality mounts will also have average training, trained by someone with Competent-level skill in Animal Training.

• Average+ quality mounts:
  • Will be of average condition, bred and raised by someone with Competent-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, average+ quality mounts will have good training, trained by someone with Expert-level skill in Animal Training.
    or
    
  • Will be of good condition, bred and raised by someone with Expert-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, average+ quality mounts will still have average training, trained by someone with Competent-level skill in Animal Training.

• Good-quality mounts:
  • Will be of good condition, bred and raised by someone with Expert-level skill in Animal Husbandry. Good-quality mounts will also have good training, trained by someone with Expert-level skill in Animal Training.

• Good+ quality mounts:
  • Will be of good condition, bred and raised by someone with Expert-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, good+ quality mounts will have excellent training, trained by someone with Master-level skill in Animal Training.
    or
    
  • Will be of excellent condition, bred and raised by someone with Master-level skill in Animal Husbandry. However, good+ quality mounts will still have good training, trained by someone with Expert-level skill in Animal Training.

• Excellent-quality mounts:
  • Will be of excellent condition, bred and raised by someone with Master-level skill in Animal Husbandry. Excellent-quality mounts will also have excellent training, trained by someone with Master-level skill in Animal Training. Despite being of excellent condition and training, excellent-quality mounts represent below-average standards when it comes to Husbandry and Training at Master level.

• Excellent+ quality mounts:
  • Will be of excellent condition, bred and raised by someone with Master- or Grandmaster-level skill in Animal Husbandry. Excellent+ quality mounts will also have excellent training, trained by someone with Master- or Grandmaster-level skill in Animal Training. Excellent+ quality mounts represent above-average standards when it comes to Husbandry and Training at Master or even Grandmaster level. Simply put, excellent+ quality mounts are of the best stock possible, better even than excellent mounts. In a competition between an excellent-quality mount and one that is excellent+, the excellent+ mount would win every time.

You may make these purchases as many times as you wish, as long as you have the Wealth Points to afford it.

For the purposes of purchasing mount armor, a set of mount armor includes any number of separate pieces of barding which, altogether, would compose a full set. To see examples of mount armor, see Items Available Per Tier.

For descriptions of the qualities of any type of armor (including mount armor), see the Armor Section of the Shoppe.

To make modifications to your mount armor by altering the type of metal it is made of, see Metals.

---

Any and all purchases using Wealth Points must be recorded in your Wealth Point ledger.

Please note that there are Exotic and Non-Exotic mounts. Exotic and Non-Exotic mounts cannot easily be classified in the Shoppe, which caters to all of Idalos. Because of this, the difference between an Exotic and Non-Exotic mount is determined on a city by city basis. While horses are considered globally Non-Exotic, please see your City Lore, or contact your City Prophet, if you have another, specific mount in mind.

Tier 1 - Tier 4 do not have access to Exotic mounts unless approved in the PSF or awarded by a Prophet. Tier 5 - Tier 10 do have access to Exotic mounts, though many of the Tiers must still buy an Exotic mount with Wealth Points in order to own one.

Please note that PCs may purchase additional mounts using their Wealth Points.

All mounts, whether purchased or accessed through your Wealth Tier, come with appropriate mount accessories.

Wealth Tier	Mount Quality	Notes

Due to the items available, different Tiers have different qualities of mounts (Tier 5 is average, Tier 6 is average+, Tier 7 is good, etc.). Going up the Tier System, you may access items from the Tiers below you. This means that you may access mounts that are worse in quality than those that are offered to you, if you so please.

You may choose to have poorer-quality mounts *instead* of the mounts offered to you at your own Wealth Tier. Making alterations in this way does not change how many mounts you are due by your Tier. Tier 5 - Tier 10 will still be able to choose 1 mount per arc, for example.

So, at Tier 8:
Poor, poor+, basic, basic+, average, average+, and good-quality mounts are available,
or
You may choose your default Tier 8 option (good+ quality).

Please note that this only applies to *accessing* mounts that are available to you through your Wealth Tier. You may still *purchase* mounts using your Wealth Points.

Please also note that while the higher Tiers have access to better items, it is up to each individual player, as long as their Wealth Tier allows, to decide whether they would rather use a high quality or poor quality mount.

Additionally, when going up and down in the Tier System, PCs are allowed to keep the items they received from Wealth Tiers prior.

Mount accessories include items needed to take proper care of your mount, equipment for riding such as reins and saddles, and other, more fanciful additions such as decorative bells, ribbons, or costuming.

Please note that the accessories listed below apply to horses, and thus may not apply to other mounts. If the accessories listed do not apply to the type of mount you have purchased, you are allowed to replace them with accessories of a similar but suitable type.

• Mounts of poor condition will not have a pedigree, and will have only been cared for poorly before purchasing. Usually their care will include feeding the animal.

• Mounts of basic condition will not have a pedigree, and will have only had their most basic needs cared for before purchasing. Usually their care will include feeding the animal and keeping them relatively clean.

• Mounts of average condition will not have a pedigree, and will have been cared for adequately before purchasing. Usually their care will include feeding the animal, keeping them clean, and keeping them in agreeable environs of average quality.

• Mounts of good condition will have a pedigree on one side of their breeding, and will have been well-cared-for before purchasing. Usually their care will include feeding the animal and giving them supplements, keeping them clean and well-groomed, and keeping them in good environs which are cleaned often and which are suitable to the animal in question. Animals will also be given medical care when necessary.

• Mounts of excellent condition will have a pedigree on both sides of their breeding, and will have been given the best care possible before purchasing. Usually their care will include feeding the animal the best diet available as well as giving them supplements, keeping them clean and excellently-groomed, and keeping them in good environs which are cleaned often, spacious, and suitable to the animal in question. Mounts of excellent condition will be given the best medical care, and will usually also be given enrichment to keep them happy.

• Mounts of poor training will not have any training, or if they do have training they will have been trained poorly. Training, if present, is irregular, which makes it difficult for the animal to learn. Training may include teaching the animal to accept being around people and to accept equipment.

• Mounts of basic training will have been trained to accept being around people, to accept equipment, and to agree to being ridden. Mounts with this level of training will not be used to being ridden, and may resist riding or may misbehave or be headstrong.

• Mounts of average training will have been trained to accept being around people and other animals, to accept equipment, and to agree to being ridden. Mounts with this level of training will be relatively good at being ridden, though they may still spook or misbehave on occasion.

• Mounts of good training will have been trained to accept being around people and other animals, to accept equipment, to agree to being ridden, and to accept medical care without fuss when it is needed. Mounts with this level of training will be good at being ridden, though whether or not they follow directions depends on their individual temperament. When being checked by a veterinarian, the animal will not usually resist and will usually be compliant when given medicines or other treatments.

• Mounts of excellent training will have been trained to accept being around people and other animals, to accept equipment, to agree to being ridden, and to accept medical care without fuss. Mounts with this level of training will be excellent at being ridden, though whether or not they follow directions will still depend on their individual temperament. When being checked by a veterinarian, the animal will not resist and will be compliant when given medicines or other treatments. Additionally, mounts may be able to perform spectacular tricks, ride into battle without scaring, or perform any number of advanced duties.

For Seafaring PCs only

Due to the items available, different Tiers have different types of vessels. Going up the Tier System, you may access items from the Tiers below you. This means that you may access vessels that are of a different type than those that are offered to you, if you so please.

You may choose to have lower-Tier vessels *instead* of the vessels offered to you at your own Wealth Tier.

So, at Tier 6:
Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, and Tier 5 vessels are available,
or
You may choose your default Tier 6 option.

Please note that this only applies to *accessing* vessels that are available to you through your Wealth Tier. You may still *purchase* vessels using your Wealth Points.

Please also note that while the higher Tiers have access to better items, it is up to each individual player, as long as their Wealth Tier allows, to decide whether they would rather use a tallship or a sloop.

Additionally, when going up and down in the Tier System, PCs are allowed to keep the items they received from Wealth Tiers prior.

For All PCs

The rigging and equipment of a vessel include items needed to sail a functional ship, such as lines and sails, as well as items needed to navigate successfully and those needed to live on a vessel while sailing or at sea.

Please note that the items listed below are not a comprehensive list. There may be other parts of a vessel, or its rigging or equipment, which are not included here. Likewise, some types of vessels may not require all of the rigging and equipment listed below.

Please refer to the Wealth Tiers page for availability of housing per Wealth Tier.

This section, the Property & Land Section of the Shoppe, deals with the additional purchase of land and/or property.

As outlined on the Wealth Tiers page of the wiki, each PC who starts with access to housing may begin with one property and one property only. Some PCs, depending on their Wealth Tier and Starter Pack, will not have access to housing or will have access to alternative housing, such as a tent, wagon, or ship. Please note that housing does not, necessarily, have to be traditional. Housing may include any type of shelter, as long as it is appropriate to your Wealth Tier or below.

Any additional property or land you wish to own must be purchased using Wealth Points. Many cities have a Housing Office located in the OOC section of their city forum, which includes a variety of pre-made houses and the individual cost of each. You may apply for additional property there.

If there is no Housing Office available in your city, review the costs of property and land in this section, and contact your City Prophet to work out the specifics of the items you would like to purchase. Purchasing any Tier of property or land requires approval from your City Prophet.

For the purposes of this section, there are four sizes of rooms. The sizes of rooms are small, average, large, and huge.

• A small room might be a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen, for example.
• An average room might be a master bedroom, master bathroom, or big kitchen, for example.
• A large room might be a large study, a large workroom, a large living area, or a room for socializing, for example.
• A huge room might be a ballroom, observatory, or library, for example.

While the Tier buildings below are written with a mind to housing, any of the pre-made Tier buildings can be used for other means, such as for businesses. The furnishings that come with a building do not necessarily have to be those which might furnish a house; the furnishings could very well be equipment needed for a business. So,

• A small room might be a large shed, a chicken coop, or an examination room for a doctor.
• An average room might be the reception to an office, a small cabin, or a small stables.
• A large room might be a large stables, a small barn, or a browsing room in a clothing shoppe.
• A huge room might be a large barn, a gallery, or a laboratory with plenty of room for equipment.

In general:

• 2 small rooms are equal in size to 1 average room.
• 2 average rooms are equal in size to 1 large room.
• 2 large rooms are equal in size to 1 huge room.

This means that:

• 4 small rooms are equal in size to 1 large room.
• 8 small rooms are equal in size to 1 huge room.

This also means that if a building includes, for example, one small room and one average room, the average room can be divided in two to create two more small rooms, for a total of three small rooms in all.

Please note that the Number of Occupants in this table refers to how many people could live comfortably in each building that is listed. For many of the buildings, if only constructed of small rooms, the number of occupants could be doubled or more.

Property Tier	Number of Occupants	Notes
Tier 1	Usually 1	A Tier 1 building includes one small room with poor-quality furnishings. Tier 1 buildings are cramped and extremely modest in design. They are usually located within the poorest districts of a city.
Tier 2	2+	A Tier 2 building includes one small room and one average room with with poor+ quality furnishings. Tier 2 buildings are small and simple in design, though they have a little more room to live in. They are usually located within the lower-middle-class districts of a city.
Tier 3	3+	A Tier 3 building includes one small room and two average rooms with basic-quality furnishings. Tier 3 buildings are small and simple, though they have more room to live in. They are usually located within the lower-middle-class districts of a city.
Tier 4	4+	A Tier 4 building includes one small room and three average rooms with basic+ quality furnishings. Tier 4 buildings are medium in size and are more complex in their design. They have a comfortable amount of room to live in for the average family. They are usually located within the middle-class districts of a city.
Tier 5	6+	A Tier 5 building includes one small room, three average rooms, and one large room with average-quality furnishings. Tier 5 buildings are medium in size and are more complex in their design. They have a comfortable amount of room to live in for the average family. They are usually located within the middle-class districts of a city.
Tier 6	8+	A Tier 6 building includes one small room, three average rooms, and two large rooms with average+ quality furnishings. Tier 6 buildings are big in size and are much more complex, not only in design but in aesthetics. They have an ample amount of room to live in, even with a big family. They are usually located within the upper-middle-class districts of a city.
Tier 7	10+	A Tier 7 building includes one small room, three average rooms, and three large rooms with good-quality furnishings. Tier 7 buildings are big in size and are much more complex, not only in design but in aesthetics. They have an ample amount of room to live in, even with a big family. They are usually located within the upper-middle-class districts of a city.
Tier 8	14+	A Tier 8 building includes one small room, three average rooms, three large rooms, and one huge room with good+ quality furnishings. Tier 8 buildings are huge in size and are exceedingly complex and luxurious, not only in design but in aesthetics. They have an enormous amount of room to live in, and are usually located within the rich districts of a city.
Tier 9	18+	A Tier 9 building includes one small room, three average rooms, three large rooms, and two huge rooms with masterwork-quality furnishings. Tier 9 buildings are huge in size and are exceedingly complex and luxurious, not only in design but in aesthetics.

Tier 10 buildings are huge in size and are exceedingly complex and luxurious, not only in design but in aesthetics. They have an enormous amount of room to live in, and are usually located within the rich districts of a city.

So, using the conversions above, if you break down a Tier 10 building into the different sizes of rooms, it would
equate to:

One small room, one average room, and ten large rooms,
or
One small room and twenty-one average rooms,
or
Forty-three small rooms,
or
Any other combination of the four sizes of room, such as one huge room, two large rooms, ten average rooms, and seven small rooms.

• Creation of Maps

• • Non-skilled: Poor quality
  • Novice: Basic quality
  • Competent: Average quality
  • Expert: Good quality
  • Master: Master quality

• Quality of Maps

The quality of a map is strongly related to the level of detail the map contains. In this breakdown, map ‘features’ include the following: cities, mountain ranges, rivers, forests, coastline, roads, city blocks, houses, landmarks, borders, etc. As a rule of thumb, every element that is named is considered a feature as well as all major landscape elements.

• • Poor – Small non-coloured sketch that is more akin to scribbles than a legible map. Less than 5 map features. Likely to be 2-3 major errors in the map. More likely to be accurate when covering a small area, such as a single city.

• • Basic – Simplistic map showing about 5-10 features. Regional maps only show major landscapes features and key cities. Likely to have 1-2 major errors but maps that cover a smaller area are more likely to be accurate.

• • Average – Standard map that shows about 10-20 features. These maps have a good chance of getting the person to where they need to go within the region surrounding a major city, as long as it’s not an obscure location. Likely to have only one major error. Limited specializations are available at this quality.

• • Good – Good quality maps show about 20-50 features. These are very detailed and can cover two major cities including the wilderness in between. These maps can also be tailored to specific needs, such as military maps, sea maps, trade routes, hunting grounds, maps of magical sites, or treasure maps. Elevation lines, such as contours, can be found on these maps instead of simply identifying terrain using symbols or colours.

• • Master – Master quality maps are highly detailed with 50+ features identified. They can cover an entire continent and usually require a large roll of parchment or very fine writing to include all the elements in the map. These maps can be tailored to specific needs similarly to good quality maps. Typically, these maps are not only functional but highly artistic.
