Hmm, good point. I guess it would make sense for adventuring gear to be anything discretionary that you have, that is not required to maintain your status. But in that case, a warrior who is required to have gear for his status could count it against his total wealth even under the RAW wealth rules. That said, it still does not solve the problem of gear costing too much for relevant status required gear all up and down the wealth/status spectrum.
I guess you could just rule that a character has the gear appropriate to his status in his culture unless he has lower or higher wealth than usual. Then the 20% is for anything in addition to that. That is definitely one way to solve it, though that will privilege certain cultures over others without costing points and makes the generic part of GURPS more complicated.
