Editing Detective

'''Detective''' is one of four [[professions]] introduced in [[Crenopolis]], which revolves around preventing and solving crimes around the city. Although other professions are not necessary to train Detective, it is helpful to train the [[Watchperson]] profession alongside Detective for [[Crime Den Raids]] that serve to unlock quick travel routes for the [[Merchant]] profession.

[[Sergeant Fowler]] in the [[Guardhouse Lobby]] will tell the player what stall is being targeted the most, which will always be the highest level stall accessible. 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 the player's current highest stall.

Crime Den Raids consist of breaking into an area and subduing approximately 5 combatants for both Watchperson and Detective experience. There are two areas per Crime Den, and when one raid is completed the room will remain empty while its counterpart will reset to generate a new raid. Clearing one of the Crime Dens serves as a shortcut for [[Merchants' Guild|Merchants' Guild bounties]], offering alternate routes between vendors.

The [[Easy battle penalty]] for fighting low level enemies is applied to [[Watchperson]] experience. A higher Detective level will also result in a penalized experience rate to lower level activities.

The player can collect one investigation bounty at a time from the Investigation Board at the Investigation Hall. By following the hints in the description of the bounty list, clues are collected and depending on their relevance, one arrest can be made back at the Investigation Hall. An important thing to consider to prevent false arrests is to "use" the information gathered on the suspects as the first interactable option would result in their arrest, ending the bounty. More complex clues, steps, auras, suspects, and descriptions are added at higher difficulty investigations.

Detective passive activities are of four types: [[Evidence Filing|filing evidence]] in the [[Guard's Archive]], [[interrogation]]s in the [[Interrogation Room]], [[Forensics (activity)|forensics work]] in the [[Forensics Lab]], and [[stakeout]]s around [[crime dens]]. All passive activities complete award both Detective XP and coins, however Forensics work also requires [[Forensics (potion)|Forensics potions]] crafted by [[Alchemist]]s.

Profit values assume Forensics potions are purchased from [[The Apothecary Shop]], profit rates may differ if they are brewed by the player.

Ventures are daily skilling tasks that have set cooldowns, usually rewarding experience, items, or currency. Detective ventures are completed by hanging [[Wanted Posters|wanted posters]] on the [[Wanted Poster Board]] in [[Lord's Road East]]. Rewards are given immediately upon hanging the poster, and the poster board becomes empty after 12 hours.
