Deciphering Documents is an activity players gain access to when initially building the Cabinet Noir. Deciphering documents uses
Deciphering... as a progress quality, using
Intercepted Document to determine the reward. Any surplus points of this quality is lost upon cashing in.
If you are looking to develop Cover Identities, check Cover Identities (Guide).
Basics[edit]
Deciphering Documents is a repeatable activity that allows one to obtain a variety of rewards. In order to do it, first you must obtain a document in need of deciphering, and then you need to break the code in your Cabinet Noir by raising your
Deciphering... to the required level and then cashing out via Interpret your Intercepted Document

It is also possible to gain Deciphering... +1-2 CP in
The Dome of Scales with Pit one Varchaasi against another, but this is highly inefficient.
Strategy[edit]
Documents requiring Deciphering... 5 take a minimum of 3 actions (or 2 as a
Midnighter) plus 1 action to cash out when using Make a leap of code-breaking insight, whereas documents requiring
Deciphering... 15 take a minimum of 18 actions (or 14 as a
Midnighter) plus 1 action to cash out.
With a maximum echoes per action of 3.125 for Midnighters, there are better grinds for money, but it is the only reliable way to obtain a
Rumourmonger's Network or
Reported Location of a One-Time Prince of Hell. Additionally, in a pinch it is a way of obtaining
Vital Intelligence for Moonlit Woods.
