How can a killer run away?
I have fake alibi and PE so is the killer! I clik on the name to accuse him... and he run away :/

I was just wondering about that one, Luniar (sorry, off-thread) - is there any formula or known pattern that says what you have to do to get skill points when you're a bit more experienced? It's driving me crazy!

I don't know if there is a pattern in all honesty, just that the skill points come slower and slower. I can't remember, how fast they actually came, when I was still acquiring skills. Also the new features of the game, with the new faction skills that got introduced earlier this year.....I already had more spare skill points then I could handle.

I guess only someone can tell how fast they come, who is working on his or her last few skills. I really have no idea if that would be someone with less or more then a million skill points.

It's been a while since I have seen you post Andrea. :)

I would actually be interested to know at how many experience points you have obtained all skills approximately.

I still dont have all the skills I wanted and they come very very slow. So I guess milion exp is not the mark.

It takes about 50,000 experience points for me to get a skill point anymore....

I track it down a little bit ;p
So... when i was getting Really Hard Favors... i count that i can get 1 point per 6 solved cases/favors!
No i'm incredibly hard.. and i'm sure is more than 6.. dont know yet!

Reda how close are you though?

Aug-27-2005 17:18

I have almost a million experience points and I am nowhere close to getting all the skills. So I am not sure when you hit the mark to get them all. This might actually vary depending on what type of character you have also.

I have reason to believe that the acquiring of skill points is akin to that of Final Fantasy X's sphere levels. It's like normal RPG levels, requiring more and more experience points to level up (in Sleuth's case, gain a skill point), but after a certain number of levels (total skill points), the experience required becomes fixed. It's only a theory. But I noticed that one of my "levels" happened at a thousand; let me explain. It was 340,620 when it leveled up. I was doing a favor, so I would receive 640 experience points upon its completion. I think that level needed 340,000 to work. So it's not just random increases. It takes me about 30,000+ experience to level up nowadays. But then again, I've got a half-million.
