[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7353936, member: 12731"] To put some numbers on what otherwise has been a rather "dry" issue, here's the gold piece values for the first nine levels: [CODE]Item Level "npc" "xp=gp" "typical" 1st 1 300 0 30 2nd 2 700 100 60 3rd 3 800 300 100 4th 4 1100 900 200 5th 5 1400 2200 1400 6th 6 1900 4700 2500 7th 7 2400 7700 3600 8th 8 3100 11300 4800 9th 9 4000 16000 5900 [/CODE] What's this, then? First, peruse the wealth curves thread: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?619626-Design-amp-Development-Wealth-Curves[/url] Then I've chosen the red, burgundy and blue curves, respectively.
