Wealth
In Enigma, the richness of your journey stems not only from the stories you create and the challenges you face but also from the treasures you collect. To help you concentrate on the unfolding narrative instead of getting bogged down by counting coins, we've introduced the Wealth system. This new system transforms your collective riches into a simplified, point-based treasure trove.
Wealth Points: Imagine a treasure chest that expands as you collect coins through daring exploits and clever deals. This system converts your financial skills into wealth points, reflecting your party's economic prowess as you navigate the story of Enigma without micromanaging finances. Wealth points increase with each monster hoard discovered, quest completed, and deals struck. You’ll start with nothing, embarking on a rags-to-riches journey in search of fortune and glory.
This approach focuses on adventure—rescuing allies, forging connections, and making discoveries—while integrating economic elements. Wealth points become opportunities: use them to replenish supplies, upgrade your gear, secure lodging, or establish powerful alliances. Each decision shapes your journey, balancing immediate needs with future ambitions, ultimately empowering you to craft your destiny in Enigma.
Below are tables that show you typical examples of how you might earn and spend wealth, as well as guidance for selling loot:
Spend Wealth: Your spending habits will change over time, influenced by your needs, the availability of items, and your location. Here are some examples of what you can purchase with your wealth, along with an estimate of their cost in wealth points.
Earn Wealth: Ways to earn wealth may differ from table to table. Below are a few examples of how a mercenary can accumulate wealth in Enigma, along with the corresponding Wealth Points for each accomplishment.
Selling Items: Characters can sell valuable items, with wealth gained depending on faction influence, negotiation skills, and market demand.
