On the phone

“Hello, This is Mr. Wild's office...”

Site narration

Joe Wild runs an office of introductions and favours, and nearly all of it happens over the phone. Call his number and Mr. Wild's office answers, and what he offers is paid for in Wild Favor. All he asks in return is that you look out for the Lower Levels.

What is recorded

Site narration

  • ConfirmedItem Business Card (Joe Wild) flavour: 'At your service.'
  • ConfirmedIn person Wild explains the sector as an ecosystem: take too much without giving back and it collapses. He will do favours if the player looks out for the Lower Levels, then hands his card and says to call if needed.
  • ConfirmedThe phone table labels the contact 'Joe Wild's Assistant'; lines include 'Hello, This is Mr. Wild's office...' and a player option [Browse Wild's Service].
  • ConfirmedA reminder visit: he knows people who teach farming, cleaning water, making wine and more — call when ready. He also notices if the player never rang.
  • ConfirmedIf the shop is doing poorly he may throw some favours the player's way at no charge, calling local businesses the foundation of the residents.
  • ConfirmedThe interface says that gaining Lower Levels reputation, or using the nightly services Wild unlocks, increases Wild Favor, which is spent on his upgrades first. One panel is headed Wild's Network, and the running favor total is shown beside it.
  • ConfirmedNight logs: Wild can refer a buying customer for tomorrow; Wild's Fixer silences witnesses and removes evidence (suspected crime level decreases); if insured, Joe Wild's men recover a burglary item in the morning.
  • ConfirmedBlack Market perk Uninsurable flavour: due to infamy with the Black Market, even Joe Wild can't insure you anymore.
  • ConfirmedNetwork nodes state Wild introduces the Red Imp Brewery sales rep, a Lower Levels Chemist, GP Mining Coop leader, an Upper Levels pharmacist's inventory manager, and a Security Department informant; he can also negotiate firearm permits, rent grace with the Landlord, and Jackson investments.
  • ConfirmedWild brings news that Grandpa Cheng passed away in his sleep, calling him a true pillar of the Lower Levels residents, and gives a keepsake.
  • CorroboratedGuide videos show calling Joe Wild to unlock services.
