#### 🧮 Formula

```
Total Credits = BaseCredits × (1 + Influence × 0.0025)
```

Each Influence point adds **0.25 percent** more <mark style="color:orange;">**Credits**</mark>.

* `BaseCredits` = <mark style="color:orange;">**Credits**</mark> normally earned
* `Influence` = skill points

***

#### 🔍 Example

* <mark style="color:orange;">**BaseCredits**</mark>: **100**
* Influence: **40**

**Calculation:**

<mark style="color:orange;">**Total Credits**</mark> = 100 × (1 + 40 × 0.0025)\
\= 100 × 1.10\
\= **110 credits**

You earn <mark style="color:orange;">**+10 credits**</mark> from Influence.

***

#### 📈 Why Influence Matters

Influence compounds dramatically:

* Every credit payout becomes larger
* Large quests & Patron rewards scale sharply
* More <mark style="color:orange;">**Credits**</mark> → more gift cards, raffle tickets, real-world rewards

Influence is the **strongest attribute for maximizing real-world value**.

#### ✅ Best For

* Users who care about real rewards
* Players completing many quests
* Long-term contributors accumulating credits
