 ====== 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
-trade deal, you get 10 xp (700-650 = 50. 50 / 5 = 10).
+  * **Tier 4** A single item worth 50000 dinars or more, or an artifact

+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.)
