Does you chance of obtaining contacts improve with the more experience you get or is it completely random each time you do a favor.

How about treasure hunts as well. Are you more likely to get a favor that helps solve the treasure hunt when you get more experince.

I'm just curious since after solving dozens of favors, I've only got one contact and have never been able to do a favor for hunt.

Contacts - usually first one arrives pretty quick (5 or 6 favors). Second one often does't arrive til you have 40,000 to 70,000 experience or more. Sometimes sooner, sometimes longer. Seems like forever.

Chance of getting the right favor at the right time is totally random - our newest agents are as likely to pick up the key favor as the oldtimers. Biggest effect is how much you play (more cases = more favors = higher prob. of getting the right favor.

Oh, yes. And sometimes holding on to a favor that hasn't been played yet in a hot hunt can put you in the right place at the right time. So far I haven't found favors to repeat within one hunt (at least within one city) - so if the hunt has already gotten the Curator in London, you won't get another curator in the same hunt.

Also, being on line and checking the hunt status often can help too. If you and another teammate both have the Tailor when it comes up in a hunt, the first one to notice it usually gets to play theirs. That may differ for one agency to another, though.
