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:):):)

I'm pretty sure that as far as contacts go, the only thing that isn't completely random is the fact that the odds increase overall after (I believe) 150,000 XP.

If someone older and wiser knows otherwise, feel free to rip to shreds. :)

I think you misunderstand what Barry is saying, girls.
He is saying that your SECOND contact might take longer. In this example its a PE contact. But it could also be WE one. The point is SECOND.

That said, Im not sure its true... LOL I think its random. some people get it fast and others wait long time. Maybe it has to do with how many favors you've quitted. But no one knows...
The chance should indeed increese after 150,000 exp But still some are waiting... Espescially if they try for a certain contact.

Ms. reda,

You are correct in interpreting what I am saying.

I don't remember where I read it but there was a post somewhere (maybe in the subscriber's section or a very old Welcome Newbies entry as I recently re-read that one front to back) from Ben who said that the second contact is more difficult to come by. That, while the first contact happens pretty quickly, the second will take much longer.

If that has changed, I don't know. Only Ben knows.

I was trying to manage Sir Paul's expectations as it took me a great long while for me to get my second contact.

Ms. reda, I thank you for stepping up for me. A true lady you are.

I would love to know when exactly I got my second contact. But I seem to remember it did not take too long.

I have heard some people say that the 8th contact takes a long time too, but I am not sure. Maybe I've been lucky!

Andrea, that second contact can take ages sometimes. I've seen it time and time again. It can be nearly heartbreaking at times. I am sooo glad that Ben gave us the 150K mark improvement, it's helped a lot, but there are still times when Sleuth decides to be evil and hold off on that second contact for eternity.

Count yourself lucky that you haven't gone through that struggle, or watched a friend or two go through it either.

well, i think that it's not a matter of quit favors...'cause i only have 1quit case and it wasn't a favor...concerning the experience let's hope that it doesn't take too long...i only have 2400...and i'm tired of selling gear, I WANT A PE CONTACT!!!:):):):):):):):):):):)

I know it can seem to be an endless moutain, but 2400 XP is not far along.

Keep working the cases you will get there.

If you subscribe you will be sure to find an agency that can help you out with gear, additional cases to help build up your skill points, lots of good things.
