 ====== XP for gold ====== ====== XP for gold ======
-Any OSR player that joins the group might be expecting that finding 
-gold gives you xp. That's how it was in the old game. But in 5e, all 
-the gold you find on adventures, in dungeons etc, the xp has already 
-been factored into the monsters (you don't have to kill the monster, 
-sneaking past them or talking to them is fine). 
  
-What about money that you make trading, running the domain etc? Well, +## Pillar Items 
-you have to be making a lot of money per month for it to give you xp. + 
-For level 5, you have to make more than 650 dinars (dinars = gp, +  * **Tier 1** A single item worth 100 dinars or more, or a nonconsumable rare magic item 
-dirhams = sp) in month in this way. You get 1 xp for every 5 gp you +  * **Tier 2** A single item worth 1000 dinars or more, or a nonconsumable very rare magic item 
-earn above the threshold this way. So if you earn 700 dinars in a +  * **Tier 3** A single item worth 5000 dinars or more, or a nonconsumable legendary magic item

 + 
 +For example, if a level 2 party finds a gem worth 100 dinars, everyone gets 60xp. 
 + 
 +In addition, whenever you find treasure (whether it meets the criteria 
 +on this page, or is of lower individual value, such as coins), you get 
 +the XP from the monsters that were guarding it. So let's say a level 
 +one, a level two, a level three and a level four character sneak past 
 +a skeleton (in our ruleset a 50 xp enemy) to find a 100 dinar value 
 +gem. They each get (50/4)+380 = 392 xp. Joy! 
 + 
 +Every character doesn't have to make it to the treasure room in 
 +person. As long as you are part of the same expedition, part of the 
 +same venture, present in the session, and alive, you qualify. Absent 
 +players, dead characters, or characters who stayed in town while the 
 +other characters went to the dungeon get zilch. Merely unconscious 
 +characters do get a full share. 
 + 
 +### Faction Treasure 
 + 
 +Alternatively, if you are using a domain game system, such as Worlds 
 +Without Number, when you are level 10 to 16, Tier 3 items give one 
 +domain treasure and Tier 4 items give 1d4 domain treasure. When you 
 +are level 17 or higher, Tier 4 items give 1 domain treasure. This is 
 +instead of character XP. 
 + 
 +### NPC hirelings 
 + 
 +Some NPCs have it in their contract that they don't get any XP, others 
 +that they get full. Often enough the deal is that they get a halfshare 
 +of XP, calculated as follows: 
 + 
 +Each halfshare of monster XP is the total monster XP divided by 
 +(Number of NPCs + twice the number of PCs). PCs get two halfshares. 
 + 
 +So in the skeleton sneaking example, if two heroes would've been 
 +halfshare NPCs, then instead of dividing the 50 by four it would've 
 +been divided by 6 (2×2+2 = 6) and each player character getting two 
 +such halfshares. NPCs also get half of items' worth, so the NPCs 
 +would've gotten 198 and the players would've gotten 396. Slightly more 
 +joy! 
 + 
 +## Merchants & Domains 
 + 
 +A.k.a. making an honest living. 
 + 
 +For every five dinars over the threshold you earn per month you get 1xp. 
 + 
 +So if you are a level 5 character who earn 4000 dinars by trading, you 
 +get (4000-650)/5 = 670 xp. Your fellow party members don't get anything.

-(This rule comes from ACKS; but there it's one xp per dinar --- however, in ACKS it takes typically about five times as much xp to level up as in 5e (averaged over the four main classes). You'd be a pretty broke caliph if we used the ACKS rule; i.o.w. I've transposed their curve to our econ so it matches.)
