What points for each of those do you get at each level, i.e. beginner, easy etc.

Thanx for any help.

The higher you go, the more you get for experience. Skill points are easy to get at first, but as time goes by, they become rare and harder to get. I recommend you stay at Beginner, then move up to Easy if you are ready, and so on. I cannot exactly tell you how many points you get for each level of cases, though.

If I recall correctly, experience for cases goes up by multiples of two. Easy is 20, Intermed. 40, hard is 80. By the 6th level (Incredibly hard) its 640 points per case.

No body has figured out exactly what's the formula for converting experience into skill points (or they are not saying) - but early on, you get lots of skill points for relatively little new experience. I think a beginning sleuth with less than 100 experience would get one skill point for an easy case, and two for an intermediate case.

As you get more experience, you need more experience points to generate the next skill point, so now, it takes me btween 40,000 experience and 50,000 experience to get another skill point.

The moral is - spend your early skill points wisely, grasshopper.

Yes, spend them wisely. The more experience you have the less chance of getting a skill point after each successful case. As you get more experience the skill points get harder and rarer to find. I have slightly less experience then arne, and currently Ihave 138 total points with 6 unspent so hopefully soon I should be able to get a new skills. I cant remember the last time i got a new skill.

"(Or they are not saying)" LOL! :)


A few of the detectives know certain 'milestones' when you get a skill point.

but then it's not as exciting when you DO get that new skill point...
