Irregular Studies At Cantu's School

[Indalecio]

I paid the 900 pims tuition, and tried it 8-9 times, and only got it to trigger once. I was using Calculate Odds, but that has a cooldown. Anyone have suggestions on getting the most out of this ability?

[Gwendall]

Honestly it is what it is - a very low chance. Just stack % chance buffs like Question Self. Really the big advantage was bulking up every incantation subskill at once using the Study at Contu's command. My guy wasn't investing in incantation and I was able to rocket to 8 in no time.

[Indalecio]

So on a weekend day I could use.

Is there much Saving and Reloading involved?

 

Also, the description mentions possible raising of attributes. Has this happened to anyone?

[Legate of Mineta]

A quick note on this Ability: it has some fun Effects (including Attribute boosts), but the odds are about 1:60 for an Attribute. The 'best' effect you can win is 1:120.

 

Overall, I'd say this Ability needs an Automatic Effect in addition to the (rare) possibility of the more interesting (not always positive!) rewards.

[Draigh]

On what are those chances based? Which kind of boosts have an effect on it?

[Legate of Mineta]

Draigh;

 

It's a very small Chance of Success- only your Chance of Success will matter here.

*wonders if the wiki has an entry about that one yet*

[Indalecio]

^As far as I can tell it doesn't.

[Mumbles]

Can you load buffs on the same day and have them take effect in your evening action? For instance, you cast a spell with a sleuthing boost, train in sleuthing and then have an event/adventure/ability that requires a sleuthing roll.

 

Will the two boosts from morning and afternoon apply?

 

Asking because, one, I'm unsure myself and, two, the example above used that.

 

(It appears to me that friendship increases aren't applied until the end-of-day tally.)

[Legate of Mineta]

Mumbles;

 

Yes- the buffs should apply before the Adventure.

When I succeed all it shows as a change is an increase of stress by 3. Am I so unlucky that all I get is the negative effect, or is the benefit hidden somehow?

[Legate of Mineta]

Lucien;

 

No- one of the possible results of the Action is that you gain Stress. Overall, it needs to be reworked.

[Lucien]

Even with the buff of temporarily increasing the chance of success, I still don't succeed heh.
