[(cYs) Del Piero]

Item set

Eliminating The Impossible

Private Eye‎
​

Nine-Pipe Problem
​

Effect
Reduces mystery solving time by up to 88%
Note: The attributes are hidden until both items are equiped.

Sucks that the Private Eye looks ugly

 

[ViperStriker]

So the effect is purely cosmetic...I was hoping for 10% faster Ubercharge rate.
