Premium						Yes

Detective is one of four professions introduced in Crenopolis, which revolves around preventing and solving crimes around the city.

Spotting thieves

Sergeant Fowler in the Guardhouse Lobby will tell the player what stall is being targeted the most. This will always be the highest level stall you can access. There is no need to talk to her for an increased rate of thieves. Note that the Experience per hour values in the table below assume the stall is your current highest stall.

* The Hide Stall thieves will NOT spawn until you talk to Sergeant Fowler.

Crime Den Raids

Crime Den Raids consist of breaking into an area and subduing ~5 combatants. There are two areas per Crime Den, when one raid is completed it will remain unlocked with no mob spawns while its counterpart area will then re-lock and generate a new raid. Clearing one of the Crime Dens opens new areas that can be used as shortcuts while completing Merchants' Guild bounties, offering alternate routes between vendors.

Assuming on-level full green armor and a blue weapon, Crime Den Raids tend to become fully AFK ~10 Watchperson levels beyond their Detective requirement.

The Easy battle penalty for fighting low level enemies is applied to Watchperson experience. A higher detective level will also result in penalty xp decrease.

Investigations

The player can collect one investigation bounty at a time by starting at the Investigation Board. By following the hints in the description of the bounties list, clues are collected and depending on their relevance, one arrest back at the Investigation Hall can be made. An important thing to consider is using information on the suspects as the first option would result in their arrest. More complex clues, steps, auras, suspects, and descriptions are added at higher difficulties

Passive activities

Detective passive activities are of four types: Evidence Filing in the Guard's Archive, Interrogations in the Interrogation Room, Forensics work in the Forensics Lab, and Stakeouts around Crime Dens. All passive activities complete award both Detective XP and Coins, however Forensics work also consumes Forensics potions.

Profit values assume Forensics potions are purchased from The Apothecary Shop, your profit rates may differ if you brew them yourself.

Passive activities give reduced experience when a players level is high enough to perform a new passive activity for that profession. The numbers shown here are the full experience.
