When is it worth it to go to Lucy's cabaret? If you buy equipment from her does it depreciate like it does when you buy it from the detective store? And what do you have to do to be able to talk to Lucy? And why would I want to talk to Lucy?
Thanks!

Sunny once said you can only use that location until you open your next case. I know you can go back more than once if you have not opened another case, but I don't know if it carries over overnight.

I think it does carries overnight.

I learnt about it after I had finished a favor for the priest, father Gesling, on my second day. I foolishly paid for it with all the money I had. Then I found out that it had no use to me at all. Trying to make the best use out of my money, I had gone to it the next day and stayed for a while before I started another case.

I still remember the painful experience till this day...

another question: do the items at lucy's change at all?

May-10-2005 06:06

Yes, if memory serves, 2 out of 3 change, but you can always get the flapper dress (if there are more than 3 items then more items change) :)

what does lucy sell anyway know ones telling me

May-12-2005 03:02

She sells equipment, always the flapper dress which is good for charm. And the other items alternate.

Just visit her some time, you'll see.

May-12-2005 05:41

but don't visit her unless you have $500 that you don't really need for something else.

... and if you don't want to go there just to chat and feel "been there, done that" , I suggest bringing lots of money - more than $10,000 is advised.

Okay, I've just been to Lucy's for the very first time - it seems that she didnt want to talk to me! Is there any particular way of getting her to talk!? And is it useful!?

May-27-2005 09:01

Yes, when she talks it's pretty useful ;)
