Purpose of some items

[Golden_Duke]

Does that sabre you can get from going on a date with fisherman wife actually have any use?
Is it worth it to order custom dice from dicemaker? I know that free red-and-blue dice gives a small bonus on some *subconscious* checks like shivers or inland empire, but what about the rest?
Any point to buy board games, Man from Hejmdall books, ♥♥♥♥ Mullen books?
Got 160 reals, not sure if I will need them after I find Ruby.

Do everything. You get dialogues, XP rewards and occasionally unlock further opportunities to talk to characters.

Speaking of items, is it even possible to buy the modded street light at the Pawnshop?

Doubtful. It may be possible, but you'd need to take a very specific set of thoughts and play a certain way and it may be possible to buy it near the endgame. It's likely just there as a teaser though.

Yeah I figured as much, I barely had 100 real at the end of game and I'd been pretty frugal

[Du-Vu]

Maybe we can work it out. If you botch any chance of reducing your hotel bill, you can get 130 real each from Kim and Joyce. 100 real from the light-bending high-net worth individual, 25+5 real from Evrart. Take off 130+20 again for the hotel, we're down to 240 on the second day. I'm assuming you'll need to beg absolutely everyone for money, take every bribe, avoid spending unnecessarily, and pawn everything you can. Unless... The merc armor, maybe? What you can get of it before the endgame, I mean. That's got to be worth something, if he'll even take it. Haven't tried.

He doesn't take the armour. There's also the Hobocop and the ultra-liberal thought that gives you extra money for tare and liberal dialogues choices, so i suppose it *might*be possible.

Some thoughts also give money for examining green and yellow orbs in the background. But still highly doubtful, 700 is way too much.

[Du-Vu]

It seems that way. What about the photo, if Kim's not there? What else can you pawn outside the store menu? His prices are weird.

Maybe it's a thing where you can talk him down with a high enough passive.

[Longes]

Even if you get the money somehow, buying the street lamp is pointless. You need a truck to move it, so the lamp remains standing in the pawn shop even though you technically own it.

[Du-Vu]

Too bad. Just edited a save, I guess?

[Longes]

Yup

[Du-Vu]

Pointless though it may be -- what about if you also held off on as much conversation as you could until you got both Indirect Means of Taxation and Wompty-Dompty Dom Centre (with a high enough Encyclopedia), and ticketed Gary the Cryptofascist (if you only fine him 100 real, can he actually pay it? He can't pay the maximum 250)? Hobocop can yet you about double what your Tare are usually worth. Any other thoughts that give you more money?

What about the drug lab? Can they potentially pay you if you let them start it up?

[deftool83]

I have the wompty dompty thought which gives 2 real for every encyclopedia passive and that skill way up at 10. Almost everything I engage has an encyclopedia thing register and the money racks up very fast. It is definitely possible.

Interesting find with the sabre with the quest for la responsabilité.
Near the end when you are with Noid you can use the sword as an antenna in the horse statue and it improves connection
