Scents and Evidence

Whenever a Crime is commited it leaves a Scent icon.png Scent at the scene of the Crime. Togging on Tracking icon.png Tracking will allow you to see these Scents. Right-clicking a Scent and selecting "Gather Evidence" will gather Evidence of any Summonable Crime and give you 180 minutes of time which can be used to track the Criminal if they are online, the stolen item if there is one, or the Criminal's Homestead. Each additional Scent gathered will add an additional 180 minutes of tracking time. Scents will remain for a length of time relative to the severity of the Crime. Evidence lasts as long as the Scent does although it can also no longer be used if the Criminal is dead, or if that Criminal has already been placed in the Stocks for that same Crime. To check if the Criminal is dead, select your Evidence and right-click it on the ground.

Stocks

Right-clicking on the Judge in New Haven gives you three options. Selecting "View Court Records" allows you to see your Justice Points as well as the Justice Points leaderboard.

For a fee of 500x Silver Pieces icon.png Silver Pieces you can click the gavel on any Summonable Evidence icon.png Evidence in your Inventory to Judge that Evidence as Guilty. Additionally you can select His Majesty's Displeasure icon.png His Majesty's Displeasure and right-click it onto the Evidence to have the same effect, this method does not cost any Silver Pieces or even require interaction with the Judge.

Once criminal Evidence icon.png Evidence has been Judged to be Guilty, with the Sanctioned Mortification Skill learned, you may select that Evidence and right-click in onto an open Stock and select "Humiliate" to send the Guilty criminal to the Stocks. Being sent to the Stocks will cause you to drop your entire Inventory! Once in the Stocks a criminal will be subject to Insanity, Whipping, and having Rotten Food thrown at them for up to 24 hours.

WARNING! Any criminal who is Knocked Out while in the Stocks will Permanently Die.

After 24 hours a criminal will be set free, however a criminal can be set free much earlier, after just 2 hours, by purchasing His Majesty's Pardon icon.png His Majesty's Pardon from His Majesty's Stall or a Writ of Habeas Corpus icon.png Writ of Habeas Corpus, and right-clicking it on their Stockade and selecting "Set Free".
