General Information & Tips

 * You must first complete the investigation in order to receive the reward.
 * Upon completion the player gets what is inside the chest reward immediately. It is not able to be stored for a later time.
 * Experience Amulet and Amulet of Searching are collected from the totem in the middle of the square. The totem appears during events.
 *  The best combo of boosts  to run together would be  Mechanical Heart  and the  Dragon's Eye. 
 * Another one though this is a  one time use , is the  Dragon Eye  and the Amulet of searching.
 *  The player cannot run two boosts that effectively do the same thing simultaneously. 
 * So if they have something that increases the energy recovery rate running, said player can’t use another one at the same time.
 * For example, if a player has the Mechanical Heart boost active, they cannot then use the Actor's Amulet boost until the Mechanical Heart boost has finished.


 * If a boost says "doubles your chances" it means a player has x2 the chances.


 * If a boost says 50% chance of finding an item it means it has 1.5x the chances.
 * A boost saying +50% means the same thing and doesn't make a players chances higher or lower


 * A boost that says it has a 30% chance of finding items, the chances are 1.3 (and so on)
