------------------------------------------------ 4. Rep group missions ------------------------------------------------ Rep group missions, though optional, can be used to gain a rep point for that particular group once completed. They take a lot of effort and time to complete, so be patient. I recommend completing an entire mission at one go in-between entire chapters, as they take up a lot of time and during the interim some of your present plot missions might be compromised, like your popularity falling, in which popularity is crucial in some of the actual plot missions. You can also take your time to complete them, finding the things required along the way as you go about finishing the actual missions. However, that takes a much longer while as many a time the things required in a rep group mission need you to actually hunt for them, instead of "being found along the way". To activate a rep group mission, you must gain between 3 to 5 rep points. It took me 3 points to activate the Artsies one and 5 for the Streeties one. Talk to the leader and he or she will give you the mission. Note that to gain the maximum number of rep points, you MUST complete that group's mission. d) Artsies The Artsies mission is easily the least challenging mission. The items needed are easy to find, and Comic Explosion isn't a difficult game. The goals of the mission are: - Get best promotion in Comedy Club Minnigame A fairly easy task. Remember you need Charisma 7, Creativity 4 and a minimum salary of 650 to reach the highest promotion. I found the easiest way to beat this is to place collecting flowers as your top priority. - Bake a Strawberry Tiramisu The recipe is strawberries, vanilla and flour, courtesy of Giuseppi's father. Flour, vanilla and the mixer can be bought from the market. Strawberries can be picked on the ground in the bayou and the centre of Urbania, among the bushes. Mix the ingredients, and then Bake-a-mix it in the oven. If you fail, go for cooking classes at the University to increase your cooking points. Likewise, you can buy a Gourmet Smoothie from the ninja at the carnival between 2 to 3am. I had about 7 cooking points to obtain a moderate percentage of success. - Clean up the city! Recycle 100 piles of trash Miniopolis isn't exactly the cleanest city around. You can find piles of trash on almost every street, from the carnival to Urbania. The trash is usually "replaced" at the stroke of midnight. Once you have 100 give it to the Deputy at the jail. Take note that the ones you recycled prior to the mission are counted too. *Important note* Please complete this goal as soon as possible, as there is a trash glitch that'd cause trash to disappear after certain days. Refer to the Frequently Asked Questions part for more information. Any information regarding the exact origin of this glitch and/or how it works will be greatly appreciated.
