how do i get in with dies arcanum once i am already -10 or something like that? Also which is better advanced sweet-talking or hand writing analysis? Thanks.

you need to do cases where the lady with a magnifing glass says the Acranum Brotherhood would be pleased if you solved this case. Don't do the cases that say the Acranum Brotherhood would like this to go anyway. It will take some taime, but once you get to +1 you can ask to do a "little favor" of them at their headquarters.

Thanks. I've been messing up Costra Nosa cases on purpose. Does that help at all?

Tdb, if you have problems getting all of the suspects or suspects clamming I would suggest Adv. sweet.

Definately get advanced sweet talking first. Get all the manipulative charm skills, then get research, THEN get the analyisis skills. After that, get a kit-kat. You've earned a break.

Messing up cases wont help, just do the cases the DA want and quit the others like reverend said. Dont just falsley accuse in cases cause 3 false will retire your detective - you better just quit the CN cases.

As for the skills, it all depends on your startegy. If you rely on wintness evidence you should get adv. interview skills first. If you rely on PE you should get those and research first. I personally would get sweet talk first, but there are great detectives here that did it the other way around (by getting all smart skills first) and that works too.

Thanks all. Actually I haven't been messing up cases. I meant that I've been messing up those questions.

That's another story entirely then - missing the questions for LCN won't help your DAB rating as far as I know (I'm fairly sure it's like not doing the LCN questions at all), but answering the LCN questions right will lower the DAB rating.

Andy - it looked to me that messing up LCN did improve the other 2. are you sure it doesn't work?
