User blog:StoryGirl83/Nerve Yield for Diamond Choices in "It Lives Beneath"

With It Lives In the Woods have have a blog post about the diamond to nerve yield ratio of choices to help people get the best nerve yield for their diamonds. Although it is still very early in It Lives Beneath I thought I would start one for this book as well, because I will want this. Obviously since the book isn't completed as It Lives I the Woods was when I started that one, information will change as more chapters come out. This also means I am likely to be able to get this one completed in a more timely manor, since I can only add those diamod choices in the chapters that are out.

So far only the MC has a nerve meter, but I expect that to change fast. Also different about this book is that the MC starts at zero, so we are working our way up. We did that with Dan just about and it worked out, but this one is probably going to be a lot trickier since this is the character we will spend the most time with.

As with the previous book people have different reasons for spending diamonds in this book. Some are just straight after their favorite scenes. Others just want to look cool so they pick outfits and hair. Some are after the romance scenes and the nerve points are just bonus. Nothing wrong with either of those things if that's how you want to play. In some books I do go after some of those things, too. Personally, for this book at least, I go after the nerve points and things related to Tom, because with the last book the nerve points really did matter and Tom survived all the things of the last book. He deserves a little bit of nicenessin his life.

Depending on why you want to spend diamonds, this may or may not be of use to you. I decided to go through the different diamond choices and see which ones got you the most nerve points for each character in relation to how many diamonds they cost. One thing I did notice with the last book was that the earlier choices to spend diamonds seem to have better return nerve point wise.

While most diamonds in the last book spent only affect one character or your character plus one other, some choices affect all the characters or most of them. We do not yet know how this will work out in this book, but going under the assumption that this is theme in this book any that affect multiple characters will be listed under every character they affect as well as under a separate category for multiple characters.

To keep from playing favorites, the main character will be listed first followed any character that gets a nerve meter in the order that they first appeared. At the end will be the multiple character category.

Main Character / Harper
No one is likely to have more diamond choices that affect their nerve than the main character does. He or she is dealing with the death of to people very important to him/her and now this. They are the character you will almost definitely see the most of and thus control the fate of the most.

The best diamond choice you can buy for your character so far is the very first one when Tom offers to give you a tour for 12 💎 you gain back 5 nerve points. Although this is the same yield as you get for buying the outfit in the same chapter, it is at a much better cost.


 * Chapter 1 - For 12 💎 you can take Tom up on his offer to go for a tour. This wil get you a yield of 5 nerve poins, slightly less than half the cost back in nerve points.
 * Chapter 1 - For 25 💎 you can purchase an outfit to wear to the yacht party. This will get you a yield of 5 nerve points, one fifth of the cost back in nerve points.
