-XP for treasure in dungeons and vaults and similar is already factored in to the monsters that are guarding the treasure.

 For example, if a level 2 party finds a gem worth 100 dinars, everyone gets 60xp.
-===== Merchants & Domains =====
+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!
