I must be incredibly oblivious because nobody else seems to have had a problem with this (because I don't find it in any of the tips/hints posts), but I can't for the life of me figure out how specifically to "level up" a slave. What is it that I need to do OR does it happen automatically once certain conditions are met?
I apologize for all of the questions, but I THINK (hope?) I'm down to my last two of such a ridiculously basic nature:
I have a character that has moved from "poor" to whatever the next level above that is (I can't find an actual list of the levels ANYWHERE...is that documented anywhere?).
And because of that, she needs more amenities. But I don't know what it is that she needs (so is that documented anywhere also?
Ok, so you increased her grade. Higher grade slaves require more luxury, which can be gained in a few ways.
1) there are items you can buy to equip to her that can increase luxury. The first, and easiest to get, is the silk underwear/boxers from the market in Wimborn. They increase luxury for the slave it's equipped to.
2) in Frostford you can buy a Gold Ring. Identical to the underwear, but uses a different equip slot.
3) There is an upgrade to increase the luxury of all residents of the mansion in the upgrades menu. There are 2 levels to it, and it's a bit expensive.
4) And finally, giving them their own Personal Room increases luxury.
I might be missing something, but I can't think of anything else. I generally give my girls a ring and new underwear, upgrade the mansion, and leave it at that. If they still complain, I'll give them a personal room.
There are also traits that reduce, or, I believe, outright remove the luxury requirement even if they're high grade. Maple, a unique fairy slave, has one that decreases her luxury requirement, so, even though she's Noble rank, the highest one, she barely needs any luxury.
As for a list of the Ranks, if you click the magnifying glass next to a slave's name, and hover your mouse over their current rank, it'll show the list of ranks at the top of the pop-out. And I'll post the list here as well:
Slave>Poor>Commoner>Rich>Noble
A note I feel you might want to know: The higher the girl's rank, the higher her max Beauty (and other stats) is. So, when you're out hunting slaves, the higher their beauty, the higher their rank might potentially be. Also, there is no downside to dropping the rank of a slave. If you get a slave to Noble, max it's stats (courage, confidence, wit and charm) at 100, you can then drop it to slave to reduce it's luxury requirements and it will keep it's stats. But if they ever drop, you will need to up their rank to get it back up.
Hope this helps.
*realizes how long his post is and starts freaking out* I always do this! And this isn't helping! *runs off*
First of all, your "long post" was great - it was exactly what I needed.
I thought about the sexy underwear and bought it at the market, but I don't see any way to give it to her. It's not one of the checkboxes under "luxury rules" when I look at her character. So how do I give them to her?
Thank you for your help.
recently there has been a change in the way it's done. I don't know what version you're playing, but here are two ways. Check the other if one doesn't work.
1) In slightly older versions you would go to their interaction screen, and there would be a button for changing their gear.
2) I'm not 100% sure if it's been done to the public build yet, hence my mentioning the first option, but in more up to date versions you equip items in the inventory screen. You would open it, click through the tabs to sort the items, and click on the slave you want to use it on. Some options will show up, allowing you to use/equip the item.
Next question (ok, so I apparently lied about it being my last one...I tried!).
I now have 7 points worth of "free mansion upgrades" from selling slaves. However, when I go into the mansion upgrades section, I apparently can't use them (for those upgrades that are less than 7).
Am I misunderstanding what they're for?
Oh, thanks - so are you saying that if I didn't have those upgrades, it wouldn't matter if I had the cash for the upgrades I still couldn't do them? In other words, I need the upgrade points AND the cash?
Next question - I have a slave who still has attribute points to assign, but is out of slots for them (extra attribute points). Will she have the chance in the future to use them or is she now at her max potential?
That is correct. When you click on an upgrade, it should, to the left, give a description. It'll tell you the required points in green, and then mention the gold needed in yellow. You need both the money AND the points. It gets expensive :/
At the moment, there are very few ways to increase the maximum attributes. If you build a Laboratory you can use it to up a few attributes. There's a surgery/experiment for increasing Agility, one for Strength, Beauty, Awareness, Oral Sex skill, and, if they have scales/fur, one for Defense. You can change a few other things there as well, but they're pretty much all cosmetic and don't really affect anything.
Other than that, I know of no way to increase base attributes. So, if you haven't already, get a lab, assign a girl as lab assistant, and upgrade the girl you want. It requires Mana, time, and usually items. Don't spam it though, give a slave some time between operations. There's a feature in the game where if you use too many potions or perform too many operations in the lab on a single slave within a certain amount of time, they might end up mutating. Sebastion, who you meet during a quest where you need to make a potion, explains it.
So, yes, you will have extras, but at the moment, you'll only be able to increase Strength and Agility via the lab, both of which go up by 2, meaning anything above 4 extra points are a waste of time. When you have 4+ points you can't use on an unmodified slave, just ignore their levels from then on, unless you feel you just want to.
