Taking 1st level credit for higher level chroincle sheet

[Davor Firetusk]

I have GMed a few of the Free RPG day modules, and I'm getting around to wanting to apply that credit to my character who is 1st level. Between the guide to play and what I have heard at the local tables I'm not quite sure what the rules are if I take a higher level chronicle and convert it to first level credit. Specifically how much gold do I get and do I have access to the boons right away. Finally can I still purchase items off the chronicle if I do this?

1) you can convert the gold to 500 for a scenario or module granting 1xp, or 1398 for a module or AP granting 3xp. You can apply this to any first level character with 0, 1 or 2 xp.

2) you have immediate access to the items.

3) I believe you only get the boon when you reach the level of the adventure.

Correct, via pg. 21 of the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide. You also get no downtime for dayjob rolls, etc.

Page 37 lists the gold reward rules.
"If the player is playing a non-1st-level
pregenerated character, he may choose instead to apply
this Chronicle sheet to a 1st-level character by reducing
this value to 500 gp (or 250 gp for the slow advancement
track)."

Thanks for the rapid response, the role playing guide has the info listed in 3 different places! None are exactly contradictory to each other, but some discuss it in terms of chronicles others in terms of modules and scenarios. And the gold being different for playing 3 1 XP adventures instead of 1 modules is a bit counter intuitive.
