I was wondering if someone could help me with this:

I recently started playing sleuth, at the beginning I used to get 3 skill points for hard cases. Now I get just 1. I barely did my first really hard case and got 2 skill points. But I just did another one and got just one. How does this work?

Wow.... 50000XP for 1 skill point. I'll probably die by the time I reach that level.

What do you think are the most useful skills? What do you think I should go for next?
Right now I have:
Research
Interrogation
Hand Writing Analysis
Rule Bending
Sweet Talking
Judge of Character
Flirting


Thank you once again! You are really helpful.

First, stay away from anymore tough skills....

Second...I'd suggest basic hair and thread, then work on upping your Rule Bending and Sweet Talking skills.

Thank you.. I have 6 skill points for now, but hopefully I'll get more soon.

Now I know what to buy! : )

*grin* Once you get into the harder cases, the xp comes faster and faster. It's not unusual for someone doing AI's to get 50,000 xp in one day. Well, I should say, someone who is in an agency and doing AI's. But, you're working hard at it and will soon be doing the harder cases with more xp. If you're not getting the points you want try a harder case. If everyone clams up on you go back to the easier level until you have another level of skill. Then try a harder case again.
