1st, about traveling to other cities... do you just pay to go over there then you have a new set of mysteries like on the homepage now, or can you only go over there for certain instances?

Also, I was wondering about agencies.. I've seen them and was wondering about them, but cant find info on them anywhere.. how do they work exactly?

3rd, do you have to be in an agency to do a treasure hunt? Or can you do that on your own?

thanks =)

About traveling to other cities, it costs money and turns (daily mysteries) to go there. whatever you have left from the travel, like maybe you will have 6 daily mysteries left to do after traveling,until server change,then you get 10 new cases.

If you go to City Hall, and Detective Agency Recruiting message board, you will be able to see the agencies that are looking for detectives. They usually give a description of their agency, on what they are looking for etc. Agencies are good for help with cases and contacts, getting ahead with a Faction, etc. It is easier to get experience and skills, when you are in an agency. I think :)

I do think you have to belong to an agency to do a treasure hunt. It would be rather difficult anyways, to get ahead on a treasure hunt on your own.

Hope I made myself clear. If not, Im sure someone else will come in and make it more clear :)

1) If you are subscribed and have the money and the daily cases, you can travel at will. The fare from New York to London, for example, is $2000 and 2 cases from your daily work load. So, if you start with 10 cases, and you go to London, when you get there, you will only have 8 cases left for the rest of the day.

2) Agencies...they are all a little different. Some are serious hunters, some just want to gab and have a good time. Some insist you log in daily others, couldn't care less. It's all about what you want from the agency you join. Agents pretty much have their pick of the lot at the moment. :)

Agencies allow you to share cases for extra help, access to an equipment locker, though not always upon arrival, to change your gear from smart, tough and charming, and back as needed, and usually lots of fun working with other detectives. (Even for a hermit like me that usually prefers to keep to herself. Okay...maybe USED to prefer..would be a bit more accurate, at least around here.)

3) You have to be in an agency to hunt. Sorry.

You definitely have to be in an agency to participate in treasure hunts. If you try to start one with one of the factions and you arent part of an agency, the will send you away and tell you that you have to join an agency first!
