Princess Maker: Children of Revelation Money Guide

Where the gold goes

Lessons are charged per day and are the biggest cost in a run. Food (0 to 110 gold a month), Free Time (15 a day), vacations (30 a day), gifts and peddler items come next. Stat-heavy endings like Queen also need a pile of gold for stat items before the 1217 banquet.

Money fate cards

  • Let Money Make Money (Head of a Housekeeping Service Company ending): +4% of your gold every month. It was 5% until 0.9.7, when the developer admitted it “underestimated the terror of compound interest”.
  • A Stable Civil Servant (Royal Clerk, listed as Scholar on the wiki): more starting gold.
  • Mysterious Income (King of the Back Alleys): extra gold each month.
  • With Gracillis / With Cresty: gold on your daughter’s or your own birthday each year.
  • Princess Maker (Princess ending): free lessons, the biggest saving of all.

The Rich ending

Hold 20,000 gold and a visitor offers an investment. Accept it. One video says to finish with 50,000 or more. The matching achievement, Pinnacle of Wealth, was at 18.1% on launch day; A Heavy Purse (hold 20,000) was at 37.0%.
