how good of a standing do you have to have with one of the political groups to learn their special skill?

Jun-8-2006 21:15

The basic numbers that you need to keep in mind when dealing with the factions:

+1 to get in the door and do little jobs
+10 to open hunts (for those subscribed & in agencies)
+25 to learn the special skill (plus the applicable skill points)
+30 to get the best price on gear


Remember it is not recomended to pick any of the faction skills until you have a good set of interview and smart skills.

how do you use safe cracking?

Jun-20-2006 03:10

Don't get it if you're not subbed Neri. It's only any good if you're in an Agency and is used during Treasure Hunts.

also, because it's related... the safe in the Bank vault...

To quote cfm from the Welcome newbies thread (which I'm aboou to bump back up)

"What is in the SAFE and how do I get in? The safe is only useful if you are subscribed, in an agency, hunting, have the LCN skill, and it's a "key" hunt. So if you aren't subscribed, DON'T GET THE SAFECRACKING SKILL."

I'm fairly good with the brotherhood. What does pickpocketing do and is it of any use to a non-subscriber?

Jun-20-2006 06:14

Read the welcome newbie thread its all in there.
Or look around the board - this question has been answered a lot lately :P

Pickpocketing allows you to get your reward from your guilty client. While this skill can be fairly handy at first, it's less and less useful as you will have less and less instances where your client is the guilty party with the harder cases.

And there is a lot of great info in the Wecome Newbies thread, so be sure to read it, too. :)
