Upper Levels
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
Upper Levels customers are wealthy residents and their associated staff, chefs and charity buyers. Their reputation benefits improve customer value and access, while poor standing can draw unwanted Security attention to the shop.
Build through trade
The structured reputation reference gives this faction a 1.2 trade multiplier. Unlike Security, it does not reward the usual aug-reporting or enforcement actions in the same way. Focus on actual requests and profitable stock rather than assuming law-enforcement activity buys their goodwill.

Read the threshold benefit
A selling bonus, an increased visitor chance and a larger budget are different perks. At low standing, Petition to Security doubles Security reputation losses and accelerates investigations. Protecting this relationship can therefore matter even when Upper Levels visitors are not the shop’s most frequent customers.
