Crime and Chaos Path

Has anyone achieved lvl 9 or above for this path?

If so, any tips for faster progression here? Currently lvl 7 on this one

In the book of paths, tests are written that give points. Whatever tests you like are the ones you perform. For example, I have never attacked merchants. But “Achieve suspicion” - 96 times. If you like to fight, fight with the guards, suspicion grows. If you're tired of it, you pay a fine and save money for a new fine, and so on.

Open every lock you see, turn in loads of prisoners, ambush as much as possible, and backstab at every opportunity. I've never really gone full scumbag and attacked caravans to bring the law down on my head but you can grind your way through without. There's a new compendium skill which gives you an extra point for any pathway challenge that normally gives more than one point - of the top of my head this may only apply to backstabbing in the things I mentioned, but every little bit helps

Well, you can also level up faster without spilling blood. The question is, do you have thief profession at master level (which requires a lot of stealing) and a lot of cheap items (f.e. a lockpicks)? Not mentioning about camp chest.

Or you can also level this path in brutal way, by ambushing golden caravans and killing merchants (their mule also count). Ambushing caravan merchants doesn't rise your suspicion, but taking their items will rise it.
Or (also safe method) you can also ambush guards, if you have below 100 or 50 suspicion (depended, do you're wanted or not). Each 5 victories grants you 2 points. Ambushing guards doesn't rise suspicion.

Thank you so much for your tips guys. I was really having a hard time to reach lvl 12 on this path. Managed to reach it by stealing Trade Goods in every town or the items you usually buy in the Arenas or Brotherhood Hq's, after i stealed them and my Suspicion lvl raised, I always paid the fine. Basically, it is a lot faster stealing and paying the fine because normally the value is not that higher ( Ranging between 120 or at max 720 crowns)
