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 a boosted rate of thieves. Most of the targeted stalls will have a rate of around 2 thieves a minute or 120 thieves an hour. 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
