“	You're not meant to know the effects of the investments, or to have a firm grasp of your financial future. I understand the desire for it, but that's what wikis and guides are for.	”

A brand new Ledger.

This page presents a compilation of all investments offered in the game, both those that can be funded by ProN, and Discretionary funds, and that one investment that is paid in Sx.

In addition to monetary profits and other effects, most investments also affect your relationship with your companions. Speaking with them will give you some hints.

Investment options become available after you arrive in Ari-Yhilina and foil the coup against the Widow Queen. The initial amount of ProN available to make investments depends on the amount of ProN you've given to Megail in Stineford. The minimum value is 50,000 and the maximum is 120,000. Megail also offers you a ledger to keep track of your investments.

Sierra Lee has stated that you can make similar investments (for instance contracting two mercenary companies) to get better results, but it will be with diminishing returns.

You can spend your ProN in other avenues that don't appear as such in the Ledger. They won't give profits in the form of ProN, but there will be other advantages to investing in them (most of them won't be shown in the game as such, but in the form of hidden advantages).

During Round 4: Discretionary funding and Round 6: Chapter 4 & 5 Investment smorgasbord you will receive funding several times during the round, these "sub-rounds" are referred to as "cycles" after this point.

Switches that look like this are named after the in code switches, some walkthrough pages will use them others won't. If there is only a single switch in both "Conditions" and "Advantages" sides it is likely the switch is used to indicate the switch for the investment itself. If there is more than one switch in either column, the other switches will have a foot note on how to set them ON.

So far, you get ProN returns from Megail at these points:

1. At the start of chapter 2, although only 2 investments do so. They are marked in bold
2. During the party split, Megail collects returns from some first-round investments in Ari-Yhilina. They are marked with this color.
3. Near the end of chapter 2, when Simon returns from the Orgasmic Empire. They are marked with this color.
4. During chapter 3, If Simon has the 2nd House of Petitions built, some of their personal assets will be turned into ProN before being shifted to the personal DF. These ProN returns are marked with this color
5. At the end of chapter 3, after you have attended to the petitioners and pay your respects to the Fallen. They are marked with this color.
6. In chapter 4 and 5, when you meet Megail in Stineford, and after major plot sequences. They are marked with This color
   • See Here for more details on when you receive your returns

Round 0: Initial ProN gathering prior to investments

After convincing Simon to use his powers to better the world, one of the first things he needs is money and lots of it. During the first half of chapter 1 you will have to gather enough ProN to start these endeavors. Starting by killing the local bar owner, and then selling his stolen property to a merchant. Whilst at the same time trying to find a trading partner. When Megail agrees to give you a chance, she informs Simon she requires at least a starting capital of 50,000 ProN (Up to 65,000 ProN can be obtained). This round ends once the gathered Pron is given to Megail.

Initial ProN gathering

• 20,000 ProN from selling your booze to the merchant. (Mandatory event)
• 5,000 ProN from helping Robin with school problems. (Mandatory event)
• 20,000 ProN from clearing the Stineford mine. (Mandatory event)
• 5,000 ProN from helping Robin get her Potion's License.
• 2,500 ProN from helping Carina deal with some slavers.
• 2,500 ProN from exploring the succubus tower.
• 5,000 ProN from helping Orcent find a lover.
• 5,000 ProN from whoring Qum.

ProN to Sx

If you manage to get More than 50,000 ProN you will be able to make the dubious choice of turning some of your excess ProN into Sx. This can be done by talking to the Stineford clerk who will offer you a 1:1 rate (which is the second-highest over the course of the entire game).
