There is a weekly earnings cap for automated jobs. This applies to any job where the game is paying you (crate runs, jobs you type work, jobs where an NPC or employment terminal pays you, etc). The cap is a rolling 7 days worth of earnings. So you can hit it, and then be out of it a few hours or days later.
NON-MEMBER RENT OFFSET
For non-members, any money spent on rent each week increases the earnings cap by the amount spent that week, allowing additional income to be earned, which levels the playing field with those that do not spend money on rent due to a membership pad.
You only have the week you paid the rent (regardless of how much rent you paid in advance) to earn it back using the weekly earnings cap increase.
Some examples:
- if you rent a place for 2500c, for the next 7 days, your weekly earnings cap will be 2500c higher. The following week it will no longer be 2500c higher. - if you rent a place for 2500c and then pay 3 more weeks of rent all up front, your weekly earnings cap for THAT WEEK will be 10k higher. The following week it will be back to normal. - if you rent a place for 5k, then payrent for a full year in advance, you only have the week you paid the rent with a higher weekly earnings cap. It goes away after a week.
SELLING ITEMS TO NPCS
If you sell an item to an NPC, most of the time the entire amount you are paid is treated as earnings against the cap. This is due to the fact that many items sold to NPCs were stolen from corpses or pickpockets. We don't have a way to track what you stole versus what you bought in most scenarios.
The exception to this is items purchased at the market. The system will check to see if you purchased the item from the market recently, and if so, it will deduct the purchase price from the earnings that it submits to the system.
So for example:
You buy mRc capsules at the market for 350c You sell mRc capsules to Joe the NPC for 400c Your earnings are 50c instead of 400c.
