There are two new skill available for those of you who have unlocked the two highest case givers:


CODE BREAKING
Unravel meaning buried within a coded message. You must find a quiet place to concentrate to use this skill.


NECROMANCY
Speak with the dead to learn what secrets they took with them to the grave. You can only commune with the very recently departed.


I'll let y'all figure out the rest of the details. I'm going to sleep now.

Happy Sleuthing.

:D :P :)

Can anyone tell me at what xp Code Breaking becomes useful? When do coded notes show up (I'm 2 172,000 xp, and regularly do SH cases)? I thought I read somewhere that they were removed from the game. If so, should the skill that affects them be removed too? Or am I just too n00b?

MR.

@Marco:

Yes, the encoded notes has been removed from the game, and previously Code Breaking skills was used to narrow down which of the 3 faction minions can decode the note for you, hence it defeats the purpose because you still can get the minions to decode for you without first checking them with Code Breaking skill.

But, Sleuth Admin is going to do something interesting with Code Breaking skill and Encoded Notes, so when it re-appears, it might not be the same. ^_^

I think I'm lost or just a newbie here. I can't find where to get Necromancy. >_< Any help anyone?

@ Detective Joesph Chen: Thank you, I'll continue to save my available skill points in case it becomes useful.

@ Daisuki: You must unlock three hidden characters first, and the third won't become available until you have 100,000 xp. So, don't worry about it just yet.

Just a reminder that:

After 3,276,800 xp, it will be 163,840 xp per skill point.
Before 3,276,800 xp, it will be 81,920 xp per skill point.
Before 1,638,400 xp, it will be 40,960 xp per skill point.

By the time when you hit 1,638,400 xp, you'll have about 300 skill points and between 1,638,400 xp - 3,276,800 xp, you'll get another 20 skill points, so in total you'll have around 320 skill points.

Code Breaking level 1 - 2 needs 13+9 = 22 skill points
Necromancy level 1 - 2 needs 15+11 = 26 skill points

If you plan to get only level 1 of both Code Breaking and Necromancy before you hit 3,276,800 xp, then it means you need a total of 28 skill points to spend.

20 skill points from 1,638,400 - 3,276,800 xp + 8 skill points before 1,638,400 xp (8 X 40960 = 327,680 xp)

With a little calculation, that means you need to start saving skill points by the time you reach 1,310,720 xp.

^_^ Good Luck and remember to plan well ahead.

what?

hey, how do you train them for code breaking and necromancy?

i wish they would change those characters and put some real people in this game like sleuth noir

I thought whether you get skill point or not depends on how you solve the case.... I have wasted too much thinking on finding the logic!!
