hey everyone! Im a virgin sleuth. Just started yesterday n there are SOOO many interesting things that i cant wait to learn about. But im still strugglin with some intermediate cases (specially the featured ones)..im not really sure what to do. And not to mention all the factions and visiting cities and agencies and villians n sidekicks...*brain explodes* haha

anyway i would really appreciate it if someone could step up n offer me some mentoring. It would be great to learn more from an experienced player..feel free to PM me anytime!! Thank u ever so much!

PM sent regarding skill choice and case levels.

Luthien, besides Zanjana's great help, which I'm sure you'll appreciate, I also suggest considering joining an Agency, say like Hunter's Academy or Barry Grant Associates that is aimed at teaching Newbies ('virgin sleuth' kinda has that Bram Stoker feel to it) the ropes.

You can do this by going the Agency Recruitment Board and posting your intention to join up. Someone will snap you up.

thanks a lot guys..but umm how do i receive a PM?(haha how dumb am i)

im goin to check out the agency board now..

this is so fun. its been a day and im already totally hooked!

ps why is it that in my list of levels, i can only select up to 'hard'..the higher levels arent in bold n i cant click on them. Do i have to solve a certain amount of cases in the lower levels before the higher ones are obtainable?

oops actually i just checked again. And it stops at 'really hard', not 'hard'. sorry! ;)

As you get more experience, the higher level cases will become unlocked.

Yes and like noted above joining an agency will allow you to get better equipment and help with cases.
