    I've been standing under the bridge in Bowerstone, above the underwater entrance to the market and setting my old xbox on top of my B button when I need to go do something else. Like go to work for example.

    That way I'm still getting my 5,000 every 5 minutes instead of by the hour.

    From what I understand there's a sidequest later in the game (I haven't gotten to) that you can't really miss and you get it from that.

    I wouldn't worry about it till then.

    Holding a single button down on a wireless 360 controller doesn't keep the controller on. I hope for your sake that it's a wired one, but then, you wouldn't need to hold down a button.

    all tats?

    Do you mean tattoos? I'm fairly certain the only tattoo achievement is the one for getting both a head and body one. And you can just find a tattoo guy, put them on and remove them without leaving the shop and you'll get the achievement and no dislike.


    The achievement is worded:
    18. The Illustrated Hero
    Tattoo every part of your Hero's body, or see another Hero do so.

    So I assumed it meant all. But if that works then I'll just do that.

    The hit in alignment you take for capping a rabbit was surprisingly large.

    edit: I didn't want to use my char to do it because the autosaves in this game tend to be really random at times.

    It is a wired one and if you leave your character sitting there not doing anything for a while it will register you as afk and not give you rent every 5 minutes.

    If you guys are that desperate for money, just do the ol' "buy every weapon from the blacksmith you own, sell said blacksmith, sell him all his stuff back at higher prices, repeat" trick. You'll make way more every two minutes than you ever could even owning all the property in the game.

    I can confirm that you just need a body and neck tattoo. I got those two tattoos yesterday for my character and "BLOP" acheivment unlocked. And you can remove them after you put them on.

    But really, you know you want to rock those tattoos, you know it!

    Yeah, that's the one. There's only 2 parts of your body you can even tattoo, head and body. Just do what I said and you'll get it.

    I did it on my good/pure guy and didn't take any sort of appearance hit or anything, just stayed in the shop.

    Then again I did it in westcliff and I don't think they'd care there if I were tattooed or not.

    But yeah, just do any tattoo on your head and body and the achievement will unlock.

    All I know is that in 2008 i was getting 2345 gold every 5 minutes and in 2025 I got over 100,000, then once i spent that on housing I got 498,000 and then finally over a miilion. 3 trips doing it and I was all done, although buying the big ass castle was more drawn out than I'd hoped.

    You could take a rubber band and wrap it around the controller and stick to keep your guy randomly moving. Just like in the good old days of dial-up on PSO XD

    Not sure by how much, but it is capped at a certain percentage I think. I did the same moving it forward and got the same amount of gold even moving it forward more.

    Im still constantly turning this game on thinking "Ugh, what I am going to do? The main quest is almost over, and I think I'm done." and end up doing stupid shit for hours. So fun.

    But I was really surprised to find out how good/pure I was. I was going for good/corrupt, and have all my property raised to 50% taxes, but still, I'm edged towards pure, right near the middle.

    It must be all my damn lute playing.

    You know if you use that particular dye on all your clothings and hair-dos you'll get the Goth achievement?

    Stalls are cheaper than houses, and provide greater return since you also get a discount. If you're really really poor, there's a gypsy wagon at Bowerstone Lake that is only 1000. I got a signifcant boost by setting my time forward after buying some properties (although really it was just setting the date, my 360 thought it was 2005). The game makes you recoup your investment entirely in 50 minutes of playing.

    So the quest after The Crucible
    is not really the point of no return?
