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 diamond 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 niceness in 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.

You will note that there is nothing listed for the notes collected through out the books. This is because as of yet, there has been no nerve points gained from getting these. This may change at the end of the book, but as it will cost 96 💎 to get all nine lore documents, I cannot see this being a very big nerve return for your diamonds, so I would get those, because you want the lore, only if you want the lore.

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 - With Tom - For 12 💎 you can take Tom up on his offer to go for a tour. This will get you a yield of 5 nerve points, slightly less than half the cost back in nerve points. It also gives you a hidden +5 to Tom's nerve score, making it a pretty good return of an over all 10 nerve points spread out between two characters for only two diamonds more.
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.

Chapter 2 - For 16 💎 you can accept Ned's gift of the bracelet that saved his life. Whether you accept it or not it almost immediately saves yours when his house is broken into and Ned shoves you behind a couch before he is attacked. If you accept it, it gives you an immediate 5 nerve points.
Chapter 3 - For 17 💎 you can stay and eat breakfast with Eliot. This gives you a mere 3 nerve points, so it's value is mostly in the chance to talk with Elliot.
Chapter 3 - With Imogen and Parker - For 20 💎 you get a lot of things. First you get an immediate 10 nerve points for Imogen. Then you acquire an artifact in the form of a key that will most likely either give Imogen nerve points later or stop her from loosing some. Then you get 2 nerve points for your character and in the next chapter you get five for Parker for a net gain of 17 nerve points so far which makes this one of the most valuable nerve point gains in the book so far.

Having both this and Danni's weapon it will also skip a -1 to your nerve score.

Tom[]

The last time around Tom could not die, but now it's his turn to be put to the test and you might want to spend some diamonds to keep him around.

So far the best nerve yield for diamonds comes in chapter 6 when you can choose to accept the occult book from the old MC or Noah, giving 15 nerve points for Tom and 3 for you in exchange for only 16 💎.
