Understanding How Fiefs Work

The first part of involvement in Territory Wars or helping your house sustain land is understanding how Fiefs operate. All fiefs have a prosperity rating. This prosperity determines what percentage of the payout goes to the House that owns the property at the end of the week. The higher the prosperity, the more profitable the fief becomes. A property that is level 1 with 0 prosperity will be the most inefficient concerning income.

Key Factors

If a Fief does not generate the upkeep required by players completing Fief quests it will reduce by 50% every week.
Once a fief reaches 0 prosperity it will downgrade.
Each time a Fief changes hands it will be reduced by 30%.
If the fief is defended but the X point was taken the fief will reduce by 15%.
By fulfilling the upkeep requirement it will go up 30%.
You can also increase the Prosperity by Upgrading a Fief. Each time you upgrade it improves by 30%.
If a Fief downgrades you will lose a big chunk of resources and have to build it back up.

Protecting and upgrading your Fief is the way you generate the highest payouts for your members. It also allows your Fief to have better quests and more prestige for your house leader to assign titles for. For more on this topic view our Fief Ownership guide.
