New Item Found!

[bola]

I was playing through MoTB a few days ago and after my Servbots came back from scouting, I happened to stumble across an item I never read about in the Game Guides

#37 and #39 were at Gold City and Casino Town Nukky
That's where I found this interesting trinket

It helps with the Development Costs, but I never knew it ever existed in the game until today!

Also, it's a permanent item (Stays with you even after use)

Awesome!

WHAT???

permanent development reduction

what is it? i must know

[bola]

Like I mentioned Earlier, I found it in a scouting mission. My best guess is that it's found in Gold City (I didn't see which of my Servbots snagged it).

It's called the Finance Book. It cuts all Development costs by 25%, and I also found out how the Development reduction Items work

If I can get more replies (or enough time ) I'll post how each of the reduction items work.

I also found out that, although the items can be used for anything, if you use a certain reduction item to develop a certain part, 10,000 Zenny will be slashed off the price as opposed to the regular 2,000 Zenny.

I discovered that by near Accident !

Holy crap, are you serious?? I've never encountered such an item before. That's interesting.

[bola]

Yep, I'm quite serious Feldinaut (Can I call you Feldi?? Hahaha.... ;D)

[Shameless, I know..... ]

Anyhoo, as before mentioned, if anyone needs info on how the reduction items specifically work, just post here; I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

Hopefully, it should be enough.

BTW, Both of the Servbots I sent Scouting had brain ratings of 3 at the moment.

[Teisel Bonne]

Oh the finance book, i found that, i thought you had to sell it

As for the other items...

tyre
police light
riot shield (thanks bola)
horseshoe
refactor ore

all these can be used by the servbots to reduce the cost of making something eg: the bonne bazooka

[bola]

No, it stays with you the whole time, which makes it one of the best items to snag.

Only problem is.... Finding it.

I've gone through 4 different files and never found it (I didn't scout as much back then *Hits self in head* )...Now my head hurts....

I hate to mention this again, but if anybody here needs information as to how the reduction items function, just post a request and I'll tell you (Although I think it's easier If I post a master list instead [saves me all this typing ])

Right you are, Teisel. Unfortunately, you left out the riot shield in your list.

[Paragon]

*is reminded of .hack* An item such as this exists? Someone must've hacked the game before it was finished!

[fAB]

Yeah, I knew about the Finance Book as well. I've never actually gotten it myself mind you, but I had someone write into the site about it. I e-mailed Estil (the guy who wrote the great guides and transcripts featured on Legends Station) about it, as something he might want to look into/add to his walkthrough. Never heard back from him... :\

It's not as though getting enough money was ever much of a problem in MOTB, but yeah bola, if you've got the price reduction info, please feel free to post it.

[bola]

Ah, thank you Fab! Well, I can't turn down the request of the Site Master, so...

Here's my list of the D.R. (Development Reduction) Items, and what they work best for. (I.E. 10000 Zenny slashed off cost)

Tire= E. Tanks (Don't ask why... )
Riot Shield= Armor (Kind of obvious)
Police Lights= Weapons (I'm confused here as well )
Refractor Ore = Anything (100,000 Zenny, People)
Horseshoe= Still trying to figure out, but could be for anything(Like Refractor Ore)
Finance Book: 25% off everything ;D (YAY)

Well, that's about it. If anybody else finds out anything that wasn't posted here, feel free to post.
