    Stupid Suggestion: Income for Nonfactioned

    I was thinking, it would be a nice idea if you got some income based off your highest Profession or Crafting skill.

    Factioned characters usually get ~1000-5000gp per pay period right? I don't think it should be able to get that high, but maybe like:

    Highest skill rank + (Appraise rank/5) *100gp

    So a lowbie could get maybe ~700gp, and a master craftsman with maxed out Appraise could get ~3000gp

    High level officers of factions only get 1/2 of that max (the 3000); Some low level ranks in some factions only get around 700 (some get 1000ish).

    Although I do feel sorry for the non-factioned, they don't have to report to anyone nor do they have to be told to do something that might get them killed. If the non-factioned had a guild at best (money money money) or their own shop (investment investment) then fine; but they shouldn't just get money for walking around and thumbing their nose at the working class. They're adventurers after all!

      Profession can earn their income by simply selling any goods they collect. It's not much, unless you can harvest something other players want, but it's an income.

      Crafting unfortunately almost always costs more than you can get from NPC merchants for the product. Crafter income has to come strictly from other players to be profitable.

      That said - a PC of significant skill can make some decent coin though these avenues (though I know its hard for those in less popular time zones to find other PCs to make sales too)
