Basic rates

Basic rates are the cost per item before any MODlvl multiplier is applied.  They are calculated on a % share of $50.  This means that, when we increase rates, we simply increase the $50 and ALL rate shares will increase proportionally.

Studio Artist pay will be calculated as basic rate + MODlvl % (+ collection bonus if applicable).  Anyone above MODlvl 0 will earn more than basic rate....
