Making passive income was a major interest early on in our gameplay, but how would it work? That part was not so easy. So after a long process I finally came up with a basic passive income option. But, I warn you, "basic" does not mean easy.
Formula for profitability:
P = ((S*L) - (M+W+R))/T
P = Profit
S = Sales (Determined by the type of shop)
L = Level Multiplier (Levels 1-5 multiplier rate at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3)
M = Materials (S * 0.8 for a 20% profit margin)
W = Wages (Average at 2 gp per week)
R = Rent (Average at 1gp per week)
T = Taxes (Fixed at 20%)
