As a hint for beginners, looking at the table below, the 3-action, 70+ difficulty tasks with {{IL|Suspicion}} penalties are obviously not suited to training {{IL|Shadowy}}, as one does when first becoming a Master Thief. That's what the single action, 50 difficulty, no penalty [[Eavesdrop on those in the know|Eavesdrop]] option is for. You only get 2 Casing CP per action, but at a 90% success rate (and, thus 1.9 {{IL|Shadowy}} CP per action), you get over twice the Shadowy CP offered by the 3-action tasks, at no risk of Menaces. It does take more overall actions to achieve your Casing CP goal, but the lack of penalties and bonus to Shadowy training make it worthwhile as, for the moment, earning Echoes is likely not your primary task.

When training, remember that you can manipulate your Shadowy value by changing the clothing you wear. Remove items with Shadowy bonuses as training increases your Shadowy score to maintain a constant odds value in tasks, as going above a 90% success rate drops your earned Shadowy CP from 2 down to 1, halving your training efficiency. For a difficulty 50 task, a combined base value plus item bonus score of Shadowy 75 will get you a 90% success rate. See the [[Leveling (Guide)|Leveling Guide]] for more.
