Investments/Round 5: Post-Third Arclent War
Round 5: Post-Third Arclent War |
“ | 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. | ” |
— Sierra Lee[1]
|
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[2]. 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[3]. 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:
- At the start of chapter 2, although only 2 investments do so. They are marked in bold
- During the party split, Megail collects returns from some first-round investments in Ari-Yhilina. They are marked with this color.
- Near the end of chapter 2, when Simon returns from the Orgasmic Empire. They are marked with this color.
- 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
- 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.
- In chapter 4 and 5, when you meet Megail in Stineford, and after major plot sequences. They are marked with This color
Pricing and other stuff associated with certain rounds are marked with that round's color (Note: To combat issues for the color blind pricing and Return on investment prices get an "RX:" in front of their numbers)
- Bold for round 1
- This color for round 2
- This color for round 3
- This color for Core Discretionary Funding

Round 5: Third Arclent War Aftermath investments
After the Third Arclent War's war has concluded, you will eventually be in the throne room. Megail gives you a run-down of your profits (which aren't as high as they could have been due to the war).Discretionary funds to ProN[edit | edit source]

Actual investments[edit | edit source]
Megail and her agents have pulled together[5] a series of potential investments (many of which Simon has shown prior interest in). There's an investment opportunity for each of the three new nations plus representatives from the various businesses you encountered in Yhilin, Eustrin, the Elven Kingdoms, and the Incubus King's Domain. Min has her own investment opportunity, and if you achieved the SUCCUBI 1 bonus from having a low enough IKD Morale score then the succubus merchant offers the opportunity to expand Yhilini trade into the new territories. Most of the following investments are also available in the next cycle, but in most cases, they will be more expensive.
