Tip

In TDP/TG and T2, Garrett can sometimes purchase information at the pre-mission shop. This is usually gossip or advice from retired thieves.

The following is a list of all tips in Thief (excluding TDS Loading Screen tips):

Thief Gold

Lord Bafford's Manor: M2TIP1, M2TIP2 (both unused)

Cragscleft Prison: m3cellblocktip (gossip from Dikket - 300 gold), M3HolyWaterTip (gossip from former prisoner - 100 gold)

Haunted Cathedral: M7TIP2 (excerpt from the Journals of Morgan - 200 gold - not worth buying)

The Lost City: M9TIP2 (commission from Lord Gervaisius - 150 gold)

Undercover: M10TIP1 (unused)

Return to the Cathedral: M11TIP1, M11TIP2 (both unused - possibly Garrett's own notes)

Notes

• A good strategy is to buy the tip, read it, then restart the mission. The best strategy is to read it here and then print it off.
• This does not work in the case of M9TIP2 (The Lost City) because the precursor masks are worthless without the commission papers.
