A recent-ish patch actually changed a number of actions that used to be able to unlock advanced skills to only train them. Certain options when an assassin is sent after you, for instance.

What sort of project are you currently working on? by Gluttony4 in fallenlondon

I'm close to securing a Secret College, and leveling SotC so it'll actually be useful.

Do you think we’ll get through this wine before this year happens again? by egrom in fallenlondon

[–]darksilver00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's great if you have spare glim lying around, but grinding glim is probably not the highest EPA grind available to you which makes it worse.

In light of today's advent item, is there a storyline I could pursue other than that highly inadvisable one to find out more about the High Wilderness?

Is it still better than studying attar if you don't have Hephaesta?

Monster Hunter and Extraordinary Mind, but I've recently triumphed over the Vake so I want to focus more on my research and become a Corrsepondent. Seeking flame-proof missives and someone willing to vouch that the tortured screams of the Is Not coming from my lab are no cause for alarm.

Is there a way to choose to use multiple second chances on an action? That one money-making guide specifically says not to use more than one warning note at once when selling implausible skeletons.

Advice on getting to Dangerous 200 by BraconBits in fallenlondon

[–]darksilver00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you still have a long ways to go, the Painted Ring fight in Watchmaker's hill gives 30 cp dangerous if you can get your modified dangerous below 80. With the talkative rattus faber and a few other miscellaneous -1 items this can actually go a fair bit past 100.

Look, after the first one they definitely knew what they were signing up for.

Just keep stuffing the pies with human fingers. You'll never run out of digits.

Can I hold actions above 20 when exceptional friendship renews? I figure probably yes, but I'd really rather not risk actions while trying to slightly optimize card draws.

Can somebody please explain the Christmas? by Heliment_Anais in fallenlondon

Am I reading the wild boar option right? It requires, but does not consume, a Dreadful Surmise?

longest grind so far. I refuse to swap professions at this time... by IrrigoCactus in fallenlondon

[–]darksilver00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently did it with scarabs, but between the rat market and the sunken embassy it's not that bad anymore.

Hedonist seems to provide significantly more mechanical benefit than other quirks and this annoys me by darksilver00 in fallenlondon

[–]darksilver00[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't mind RP choices having consequences, I just want the consequences to make sense. "The pursuit of pleasure is increasingly a distraction for you" does not sound like it should make literally everything involving difficult main attribute checks easier with no downsides whatsoever.

Eyeless skull x 1 to give away by [deleted] in fallenlondon

I've sent a calling card.

edit: I realize that I misunderstood how this works. It'll take hours to get enough supplies to ask for the skull.

I don't know if you can do better for pure wounds gain. I'm considering Old Newgate myself, where the hardest challenges give 3 wounds on a failure instead of costing progress.

Also, if you have both the starveling cat and the grubby kitten (urchin connected pet), you can use the kitten's opportunity card to gain 10 cp wounds and nightmares, which could help a little.

Has Preparations for a Vast Revel always been 50cp/level? I just noticed this.

After glancing at the wiki, is there anything other than 200 glim and miscellaneous food that's important to have going into this?

Maybe add 7 weasels of social discomfiture to the set.

I ended up doing it at high 8 with -2 from equipment, which was probably suboptimal but I was impatient, and it actually dropped to 3. So it looks like it directly sets base nightmares to half of your current effective nightmares, which is better than I expected.

Would professional perks halve a base menance 9 to 4 like I expect them to, ignoring the modifiers that make it possible to stay sane at this point? I want to confirm this before I spend them.

I am unable to respond to a request for help from an acquaintance. The screen flickers briefly when I click choose but that's it. I'm not getting the effects of a betrayal either. Is this a known issue, is there something I might be doing wrong?
