Talk:Concealed Compartment

What does this actually do? Does it boost your Veils for the check on that card? Weregamer1 (talk) 09:33, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Weregamer1! :) It raises your Contraband Concealment, which in turn reduces the difficulty when being searched for contraband. It does not boost any stat. S3Ld0m (talk) 10:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello chaps! it sort of does. What it does is, rather than raise veils, lower the challenge score. More specifically, in the "Set Something Aside" option in 'The Revenue Men', difficulty is: 25+([Menaces: Suspicion]*40)-[Contraband Concealment]. Hard numbers:
 * Check with 1 Suspicion 65. With concealed compartments, it's 45. Which equate to real-game stats of 75 and 126 respectively. In fact, let me update the page.SporksAreGoodForYou (talk) 12:24, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I've removed the following paragraph that was way too biased for a wiki page, and moved them here:
 * Due to the formula used in the reduction of threat from this item, the effect is negligible if your Menaces: Suspicion is above 2. In addition, it only takes effect in the following events, for specific challenges: The Revenue Men and An Inspection by the Ministry of Public Decency, reducing the challenge by the equivalent of one point of Menaces: Suspicion. Essentially, this item is not worth the value, do not waste the slot on it.
 * I believe this was based only on The Revenue Men formula, the one from An Inspection by the Ministry of Public Decency is very different. So they all must be checked before adding a strong opinion like "this item is not worth the value, do not waste the slot on it". Besides, One could simply switch the slot item prior to entering London (at, say, Quaker's Haven), and then switch back after docking and unloading, if he has contraband, so the slot is not "wasted"
