Prestige is a quantitative score represenfing a character's standing in the game.
The following elements are used in prestige calculation:
- collectible coins owned and items with embedded [gold](Gold).
- the set of gemstones owned
- the rare fish discovered
- prestige bonuses from any owned items
- lightsources used in buildings
- any prestige bonuses earned in scripts
- the badges obtained
- the time spent as head of the house
Prestige has some hysteresis: for example, if you reach a new level as a result
of obtaining a new badge, your prestige will increase, but will take a few game
updates to reach its final target value. Similarly, if you sell some of your
coin collection, your prestige will take a few game updates to settle to its
new lower value.
Succession in a house has a notable effect on prestige: when a head of house
retires, the house prestige takes a hit. This effect will last until a new head
is nominated.
Conversely, as a character's time as head of house increases, their prestige
will start to very slowly go up as recognition of a house's governance stability.
At each game update, the game awards a small gold bonus to the 20 accounts with
the most prestige.
See the "Prestige" page in the player info screen for all the details.
