Have the skills, but still don't analyze the evidence?

Grr...just need to vent a bit.

It gets frustrating to me when I have the advanced skills (i.e. thread and hair analysis) but still have several cases in a row where I find unknown evidence whether it be threads or hairs. This is now my fourth case (out of five) today where I have unknown threads even though I have A.T.A.

That, and the fact that I have over 700k exp. points and am having a hard time getting my second contacts in some cities. Last week, I solved 9-10 favors in a row in Delhi, and now I'm back in London and still can't seem to get my second contacts in either...

Okay, vent over...back to the game...

I can attest to venulia being there for that long...we here at Sirens had to send her post cards while she was there and wait patiently for her return :)

V - you were gone for a really long time.

Amber, the good news is she finally did get that 2nd contact.

if i have all the evidence skills, am i guaranteed to find all the evidence, even if i can't always sub-analyse it?

If you've got Basic Hair and Thread Analyses, yes, you will find all the evidence there is to find at a particular crime scene. You won't be able to determine the evidence's characteristics (slim v. heavy, left v. right, etc.) though, until you get the Advanced level on all the skills.

So, let me see if i understand this properly... even though I have the advanced hair analysis skill, this does not guarantee that I will be able to analyze that evidence 100% of the time. Wearing gear that gives a smart bonus will increase the odds that I am able to analyze the evidence. This problem seems most prevalent in favor cases (Is this always true?). Are these assumptions correct?

Ive been told there is no such thing as a silly question so here goes.........

As there are no advanced hand writing or foot print skills to obtain does this make a difference when analizing the evidence?

No, I don't think so.

The Normal Thread and Hair Analysis Skills let you find the evidence.

Footprint and Note are not needed (I assume because a footprint and note anybody could find)


Advanced Thread and Hair Analysis give you a chance to Analise once found.
Footprint and Note Analysis give you a chance to Analise no skill needed to find

from what i understand, if you have the basic hair and thread skills, then you will be able to find all the evidence present, whatever type it is. (actually, i'm not sure if this is influenced by smarts gear - ie if i am wearing -10 smarts, will i still find all the evidence?). You need to have the advanced hair and thread analysis, and the normal handwriting and foot print analysis, to determine the characteristics further. This i know is definitely influenced by smarts gear.

Personally I haven't noticed that there is a difference for me btw favour cases and normal cases, unless of course the difficulty is different.
