Spotting thieves

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.

* 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 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 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.

Investigations

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.

Passive activities

Detective passive activities are of four types: filing evidence 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 requires Forensics potions crafted by Alchemists.

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

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.
