The Best Crime

Some of the items you get from Crimes will be more useful than others during your journey in Salt and Sacrifice. If you are undecided as to which Crime to pick it is recommended that you go for a Crime that provides a key item. Forgery (Forged Deed), Heresy (Krine Tablet), Lasciviousness (Lock of Hair), Smuggling (Signal Lantern), and Vagrancy (Wooden Doll) are all good choices as they will unlock a lot of RPG elements later on in the game.
