when can we get some contacts? is it random or we need to do a certain amount of favors? i've done some...not many but some and what i get is items...i'd like to have some contacts to help me in some cases where i get 2/3 possible alibis and an evidence in the same place...but ok:):):)

You will get a WE and a PE contact in each city, from doing favors. It is completely random. Keep doing your favors and you'll get your contacts sooner or later :)

Gain exp and enough favours, that´s the way.
It´s quite random, but so are many other things in this wonderful game ;)
Don´t worry, you´ll get them :)

I dont have the statistics on this, but in my opinion, it is totally up to the Sleuth Gods when you might get a contact. In our agency, we have had someone trying to get a particular contact for about 2 months with no luck yet. But if you aren't trying for a particular contact, you should get one after doing less than 10 favors for that person. And that might be on the high side.

Sir Paul you will not have to worry about it, but for those who are trying to earn a contact forever there is an experience mark (150K) that it does become more likely you will earn a contact when you do a favor.

finally!!! i have a contact...unfortunately it's the music teacher...i wanted the barber or the banker or the tailor or the shoe maker...maybe the next one will be one of these:)

Sir Paul, you next contact will definitely be one of those. As Ara said above, you get one PE contact, and one non PE contact. (PE being physical evidence) So, barber, banker, shoemaker or tailor will be your second and final contact in New York.

Sir Paul,

I can tell you now that you will be waiting a long time for your PE contact. I read somewhere on the boards that you get your first contact quickly and your second after a bit of experience. I just got mine tonight and I have 38040 experience points!

I, too, have the Music Teacher as my WE contact. I have found she has not been extremely knowledgeable in that department, but she has talked a few fled suspects out of hiding for me. Maybe a coincidence.

Sorry, Barry, but that is not true all the time. My very first Sleuth contact ever was the banker in NY. I can;t remember exactly how old I was, but I know that I was such a newbie, that I did not know what a contact was!

It's pretty random.

Ms. Andrea,

I think I was misunderstood. Since Sir Paul has his first contact and it's the music teacher, a WE contact, his second contact will be a PE contact. I meant his PE contact. Not all PE contacts. I hope that clarifies.
