I've asked about something similar before and may have some follo-up questions, but what would be the cost of a... say relatively simple house?

The plan as you probably know is an orphanage or shelter of sorts, so it doesn't have to be fancy or large - at least not initially.
I mean for outright buying you'd be looking at hundreds of copper, possibly thousands.

Hm... keeping one in another way, then?

I'm not sure how that could work. I thought of something like gentry, but it's definitely not a business!

Most people end up renting and/or going into debt to the Dahabi or other bankers.

Question on post chargen xp spending.

Lets say my faction gives me wealth at a discount, and I already have wealth 2 for 1 point in chargen.

If I were to upgrade my wealth from 2 to 4, does that cost
a) 3 xp (2 for wealth -1, +2 for upgrade,
b) 4xp (2 for wealth, +2 for upgrade),
or c) 6 xp? (2 for wealth, +2 for each upgrade)

I'd say each rank is bought separately so it would be C.

Just trying to understand if each rank counts separate discounts would count separately too right?

So buy one rank after cc usually costs 3 (1+2tax) with a discount it would be 2 (1+2 tax -1 discount)

So wouldn't 2 ranks cost 4?

By RAW the discount only applies to the first rank you buy. Otherwise you can buy infinite Wealth for free.
