What is the maximum number of suspects you can have in a case?

Well, Kouraditsa just got there at 240,000 experience, so that's a good estimate about when you can expect to see Incredibly Hard favors.

I started getting Incredibly Hard Favors around 50,000 or so, I think. Now I'm around 75,000 and so worried that they're suddenly going to give me Stupendously Hard ones!

Wow! you really started getting them so early? That's weird. Maybe it's because I gave up some favors back then at the race of good contacts, but still it seems a huge difference.
Maybe you're not doing hard enough regular cases to get experience quickly... (?)

i'm getting incredibly hard ones too. i have 59,470. is it that odd for the 2 of us to be getting them that soon?

I guess it's odd for me, to get them so late :)

Think it could be connected to being subscribed or not too - the more favours you complete successfully in a row, the quicker you advance to a higher favour level :)

I think the favor levels increase not with your experience points, but according to how many favors you completed. I believe Sleuth Admin pointed out this before.

Kouraditsa, you are not the only one. I was also quiting favors so I got incredibly hard favors very late too.

i think wayne's right, i got my first incredibly hard favor today and my experience is nowhere close to wayne's

Another explanation could be that Kouraditsa was playing and winning higher level non-favor mysteries faster than usual. So, although he got to harder mysteries after reaching a much higher experience level, his detective's age is not that much older than when other detectives start getting favors of that difficulty level.

It's probably a combination of both of those factors.

I was doing incredibly hard favours about 2 weeks into playing. I was no where *near* to playing incredibly hard cases at the time!
