Anyone been awarded a white lab coat for a favour recently? I haven't seen one for MONTHS. Wondering if it's just my bad luck, or if something else is up...

I don't think i have ever been awarded a white lab coat. At the minute it seems to be fancy cowboy boot

I think the lab coats are only rewards for really hard favors.

Sometimes they're at Lucy's, and I seem to remember a faction selling them (I think it was OS). :)

Yep, Andy is right, lab coats are from really hard favours so as you've probably moved on to higher level favours, you won't come across them from favours again.

The only other option is trying Lucy's as none of the factions sell these, but as the selection there changes, it might take you a few tries to find one on sale :)

Yes, I'm now at Incredibly hard favours... pity you can't easily get things from earlier levels.

Favor levels increase automatically. I've never sat down and counted but it raises by the number of favors that you solve.

wow thanks. No one is on at this time. I even went on sleuth chat and no one is there.

My question, though, is: HAS anyone ACTUALLY been awarded a white lab coat recently for really hard favours?

I know it used to be awarded a year or so ago for favours (with another detective), but going up through the favour levels again, I missed out on it.

I'm just wondering if Ben has decided there was too much smarts gear around, and wanted to limit its availability.

Yeah, I think it's still around - saw one on someone yesterday who was about 2 months old and not subscribed so she must have gotten it from a favour since she wasn't in an agency.

You just struck out while you were passing though the really hard favours. There are several items per favour level, but there is also the chance that there are items you'll never be offered and those you'll see more than once (I remember I went through a ton of golden turbans when I just started out) so it's a bit of a lottery what you get :)

But just to repeat there's always Lucy's although it may take a good share of tries before there's one on sale.

Yes, they are still being awarded in lower level favors.
