Adventurer's Guild Badge

Any character that has completed a task in the Adventurer's Guild can get a badge from the guild. The badges serve as a status symbol as well as being able to enhance the abilities, skills, and statistics of the character who wears the badge. There are five things that can be upgraded on the badges as a character earns Bounty Points through the Adventurer's Guild: the material, the bounding, the device, the motif, and the gem. A badge can only have a value of the lifetime bounty points that a character has accumulated. The first upgrade for an item on the badge is valued at 10,000 BP. The second upgrade is 20,000 BP, while the third upgrade is 40,000 BP, so a character with 70,000 lifetime bounty points could have 3 upgrades for the material (10,000 + 20,000 + 40,000) and nothing else, or 2 upgrades on the material (10,000 + 20,000), two upgrades on the binding (10,000 + 20,000), and one on the motif (10,000) for a total of 70,000 bounty points.
