Hey All,
I've gotten 2 chemistry sets for doing favors and they're both equipped...but the smarts adjustments only shows an increase of 2 (each set should increase it by 2). Is that a glitch or is an item only effective when it's equipped once (equipping a duplicate of the item doesn't do anything)? Should i just sell the 2nd set??
Thanks for the help in advance!!

Okay, the puzzling case of the 1 piece evidence will just have to remain one of those inexplicable mysteries then, but it really is odd, because it shouldn't happen once you have all 4 basic evidence skills. I think I've heard of this happening only once or twice before so I guess you just really struck out on that one.

As for the advanced skills, no unfortunately they don't work every time as they're affected by how much smart gear you're wearing. The higher smart "bonus" your outfit adds up to, the higher you're chance of learning the additional information on the clues is supposed to be - well, at least to some extent.

However, even with a maxed up set of smarts it is possible to strike out and have 1 (or maybe even 2) "unidentified" piece of physical evidence. On the other side I've also experienced to get a full list of completely identified evidence while wearing either a maxed up set of charm or tough gear :)

Yeah i guess so!! But it fits perfectly, things that have the odds of 1000000:1 seem to easily find their way to me so i'm kinda used to it :)! Thanks for the extra info Greyling, it really helps me out! (Oh and the chemist set money just barely covered Mr. Shady's fees.... now i know that the higher experience and cases solved the higher the fees...coulda saved myself some money if i knew that earlier but what the hell...money is made to be spent right?! ;)) Thanks again!!

1000000:1!! Hopefully that covers both good as well as less good things.

That the chemist set barely took care of Mr. Shady is just a sign that you've been doing well, because, yes, his fees go up with every case you solve - and as long as you payed him to clear 2 falses it doesn't matter that it might have looked cheaper earlier when you just had 1, you still get 2 for the price of 1 so to speak :)
