Memoirs of a Battle Brothel – How to Quickly Earn Credits Using Contracts

序文

Memoirs of a Battle Brothel is right up my alley. It’s an H-game/RPG, どれの, depending on how you play, can have very little “H” まったく. I love a good H-game, but have a certain weakness for H-games in particular that have the quality about them to play against their content or forego/forestall said poontang hunts. There’s a wonderful narrative attached and you can solely engage with that if that’s your ball. There’s reward enough n playing a good game yeah? そして, when a game is good enough, especially an H-game, that someone wonders why it even needs the erotic elements; I thoroughly enjoy that experience. なぜなら, なぜだめですか? An H-game isn’t precluded from having fantastic or immersive elements. It’s more of a boon to them to defy expectations of being simple Gallery Collection games. それで, kudos to our solodev.Think that’s it for the effusive praise. Anywho…

わかった, Actual Guide Now…

Contracts in MoaBB come in multiple forms. All kinds, 本当に.

We’ve got Vandalize, Hack, 守る, 脅迫, 配達, to name a few. プラス, the Hosting and Faction specific contracts (for each of the major factions) それぞれ. 今, I haven’t (at the time of this guide) tested them all. I’ve played through the game twice, and am by no means an expert (it’s also my first guide), しかし, I know enough to get you started and getting the necessary currencies fast. そして, that’s really what you want, 右?

それで, TL;博士?

Hosting contracts.

はい, それでおしまい. 良い, あまり, しかし, close enough.

見る, that’s the big secret to the guide, right here in this first section. Hosting contracts are the fastest means of building both types of capital – both hard credits and esteem. First go through the game, I thought esteem might play into the story or lore in some way, allowing me to use my reputation (as MoonFall itself apparently holds us in “esteem”) to finagle my way out of tight situations. 今, I haven’t OBSERVED anything like that myself. Not for lack of trying, しかし, it’s very likely that esteem works as intended and has no drastically divergent gameplay benefit; または, it is planned for a later content update. どちらにしても, esteem largely factors, dear Facilitator, into your income – つまり. 給料. そして, it does this through your upgrades. 具体的には?

The Blood Pit.

The Blood Pit

The Blood Pit is the fight simulator. Six levels of encounters, usable free of charge (aside from the upgrade costs), and valuable early game and late to get your numerous party members leveled. I highly recommend spending some time there. しかし, the main feature, as it relates to this guide, is the Level Three upgrade, どちらを助成しますか “Esteem Revenue” – どちらを助成しますか “pay equal to your esteem per pay period.” 基本的に, it converts whatever your esteem is and turns it into bonus cash every twenty-four hours (だいたい). Good deal!

今, with every building upgraded to level three, you’ll pull in about… 3,250 に 4,000 クレジット, 与えるか取る. That’s just eyeballing my endgame save. I had about… 213 esteem by that point, それで…

3,250 + 213 = 3,463 creds. いいね, いいね. Not an astronomical amount, しかし, helpful nonetheless. That’s an extra healing item from the shop. 今, I do NOT recommend, unless you’re a mad lad, that you grind out to 500 または 1000 esteem, しかし, feel free to ignore me. You do you. しかし, つまり, 今のところ, the primary reason to boost your esteem.

The Contracts Themselves…

それで, to bring this back around to the point. If you are the sort to min/max, in the sense that you want the maximum income for the minimal effort, Hosting contracts are the way to go. As the game itself warns, there can be unforeseen and unresolved issues/bugs on the overworld map, which is where you’ll be doing all your business. 今, this easy enough to find on your own, もちろん, しかし, おい, there weren’t any guides up when I wrote this. そして, I want to be helpful.

A standard or “一般的な” contract, such as vandalize or delivery will direct you to one of the major city centers on the world map, または, an NPC/interactive location on the map that has been spawned in for THAT specific contract. それで, a Blackmail General contract might give you an NPC that is described as being “near Civic.” Civic is in the north by northeast of the map. それで, if you get that contract from say… The Stormbreakers (the western edge of the map), you have quite a walk between there and Civic. Factor in that each contract relies on certain stats as well as a dice roll.

Vandalize uses Athletics, Hack uses Tech, Delivery uses Charisma, Protect uses Charisma, Intimidate uses Athletics, and the task, something like Survey or Relic? It uses knowledge, どれの, to my… knowledge, you can’t raise (今のところ).

Faction contracts are twofers – comprising a planning and execution phase. You can use up SP or credits to add to your rolls later in the mission, the execution phase. Buy tools, 地域を偵察する, coordinate with your allies. You can do other things like call in favors, しかし, I haven’t messed with that. ミッション中, there will be random events that will test, guess what? Random attributes. しかし, not SO random. This largely depends on your approach taken in the planning phase. 選択 “Alert” 例えば, gives perception checks. Defensive and others change what is used, so play to your strengths. There’s usually an option to do a frontal assault or bumrush your objective, which leads to an immediate battle, しかし, you miss out on any bonuses (such as wounding enemies during Hunts).

Hosting contracts forego much of that, しかし. そして, are undeniably faster to complete. Like with Faction contracts, you will be tested using a dice roll. For Hosting, the necessary attribute will be random based on the events firing. それで, you will get different clients – “a blade of a woman with an entourage around the same age” または “a balding middle-aged man with muscular bodyguards.” 彼らです, lorewise, spending time at your guild hall, at the behest of a major faction. The objective is to keep them satisfied and all that. それで, randomly, the lights might go out, the guest might get rowdy, what-have-you. You could get a charisma check a perception check, a technology check. It’s randomized.

しかし, here’s the kicker, the whole reason I wrote this guide.

Once you’ve picked your faction to take a hosting contract from. 言ってみましょう… the Iron Cartel and Dockside – a good distance from your HQ in Saint Gorfu – you do not have to walk all the way back to the Saint. You will be given the option to, or to immediately be teleported just outside of the city. Save yourself the trek! そして, on occassion, when you’re given a mission, the preamble dialogue will tell you to go to one location; しかし, upon arrival you’ll find no target objective on sight – either in the form of an NPC or newly spawned building. This can even happen with deliveries. Reloading an earlier save can fix that particular bug, しかし, 私の経験で, 疑問があるとき… 尖塔. うん, just walk over (or ride the train and go back into the overworld) to the Spire. 可能性はあります, the event simply told you to go to “産業用” but meant The Spire. I digress… Hosting contracts mitigate the need for this tomfoolery and searching missions for your quest objective. Once you choose to teleport to Saint Gorfu, that’s all she wrote.

Add to that, the fact that you don’t instantly start the Hosting event, but have to walk four steps to the city… 良い, this gives you the chance to save. おい! 今, I’m not advocating save-scumming. しかし, it can be helpful if you get an event for a skill you didn’t intend or haven’t buffed, such as in the early game. Maybe you have three Charisma from character creation and built the Security office and spoke to the Athletics trainer there for a boost. That won’t help you if you get a perception check though. You might get a lucky six on a roll, しかし, if you get a one, and don’t have an attribute modifier to bring it up? You could fail the event and lose faction reputation. 悪い. 悲しい.

一般的に言えば, for all contracts, you need at LEAST a roll of four – either flat out or with attribute scores making up the difference, to pass. The game states this. しかし, in the case of the Blackmail quest, be advised OPFOR, the bodyguards overseeing your target, will spot you and initiate combat, even on a passing score of four or five. It’s only at scores of six or above that you can complete Bodyguard scot-free of battle. さもないと, getting a six or higher on any contract usually just leads to a better outcome. のように… an extra twenty credits on a delivery job. Not really great, もちろん, しかし, you could get nothing on a four aside from a “よくやった!”

通常, you won’t EVER make more than 1000 クレジット. And by that, つまり 900 and some change. You’ll also gain faction reputation, いつもの +1, または, in the case of Faction specific quests for the Mandate, Stormbreakers, Three Moons, and Cartel, +3. The Board, the shadow council of MoonFall? They don’t seem to give faction reputation for any jobs, それで, the highest you can get with them is “3” rep (Taking the bonus in creation and completing the Mercantile Freeze), しかし, they’re a non-factor in terms of the stated endings in the FAQ. The Three Moons may have Faction contracts, I didn’t test them much, しかし, they give you jobs and, they’ll work much as I’ve outlined. If there’s any specifics that need addressing, I’ll update the guide as I play more. せいぜい, I imagine they may have knowledge checks… しかし, as I said, nothing that can be done about raising that. もちろん, I’d love to stand corrected on that count.

Wrap Up and Recap

それはそれです. As the game is updated or as I play more, I’ll update the guide. しかし, this is a good baseline, 私は思う. The contracts system isn’t difficult, and I could have “said less” しかし, I’m the type who starts explaining something I know or am interested in and just go off to the races. ともかく, there’s the quick and dirty of it. Thassia would approve. 多分.

My recommendation stands. Hosting is the way to go. Bing bang boom. Done in a hurry, like Zafra kicking troublemakers out of the guild hall. You can get a number of hosting contracts done speedily and get every major faction, barring The Board, に 10 評判. どれの, just so happens to be threshold at which they consider you an “Associate” – an ally in all but name. どれの, もちろん, affects the ending in big and small ways. Wundebar!

Anything over ten is just icing. 私を信じて, I tested that quite thoroughly with the Guild factions, Stormbreakers, and Old Watch. それで, you don’t NEED to push the Stormbreakers to +30 rep doing deliveries and hosting random, grizzled (若い) 退役軍人. Just get it to ten, then go do the main quests.

わかった, I think that’s everything. Have at em’, Facilitator(s).
