Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
I got lucky enough to get back into Attar now that I have my diamonds. And I was kicked out before I could do what I needed to do. At least now I think I know what I have to do there. Third time's the charm! (Probably)
I also just finished trailing the affluent photographer, only to realize I'd done it before and I now have the same reward twice. Dammit, why'd the game let me do that?Many thanks to Assassin 89 for this avatar!

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
The only thing I remember about the Affluent Photographer is that people on the FL forums often said they were open to all social interactions, except Affluent Photographer.
I finally went to the stormy place after having maxed out my Urchin connections. An interesting experience, if a bit drawn out.
Since I just remembered: At the cost of 2 actions, you can quadruple your cards available for drawing by going to places like the Bone Market or the Lab and then back to London. Might help some of the people who need to get into Arbor.
Btw. I still have not quite understood what Arbor is. It is a kingdom of the Presbyterate, but also exists in dreams? (But not in Parabola?)

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Sadly, going to other places and then coming back doesn't wipe out my Seeking the Name cards. I pretty permanently only have two open card slots, sometimes one.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Actually of the two, only the Market (aka Bone Zone) duplicates cards when going in and out. The lab fully resets your hand, even if you went in with 0 (the same works for any transition between places with finite and infinite draws - the Zee, Flash Lays etc; the Lab is the most convenient).

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
I think I have found an incredibly lucrative money-making loop? Puts the Affair of the box to absolute shame?
Maybe I'm missing something, but at the bone market, I can use a human ribcage to assemble a skeleton, then break it down again immediately for 625 whispered hints and the ribcage back. That's six echoes for two actions?Resident Vancian Apologist

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
the affair of the box hasn't been the best money grind in i think a year.
we now have the arbor grind (exchanging enough attar for favors in high places on a rare success is insanely lucrative and cant net you around 4.5 epa or some such), silken thread expedition (depends on if you're using dock favors or hard-back labor, but moves between 3-4 epa) and exchanging urchins for court favor in the court of the wakeful eye.
although i gotta say that is pretty good for ending around 3.12 epa! (depends on how long you do the carousal, and acknowledging the favors needed to get a human rib cage etc)

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Been over a week now since i last saw the Dreams of Roses. Annoying, since I've had the required items for longer than that.
But at least thanks to all the grinding, I'm now over 2% of the way towards buying Hesperidian Cider!Resident Vancian Apologist

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
So, for eight days now, I have done nothing except grind more opportunity cards by going in and out of my university lab. And I haven't seen Dreams of Roses once. Is there a secret requirement of some sort for that card? The wiki doesn'st list one.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Am I missing something to start the railway? I'm Paramount Presence and I haven't been able to draw it yet.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Drawn it, wants me to have stupidly high amounts of notability, so not doing it for now.
More days without drawing Dreams of Roses. I think I'm giving it to the end of the week, if I don't draw it then, I'm quitting FL again.Resident Vancian Apologist

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm close to quitting again myself, for the same reason. I thought grinding was bad, but at least you could calculate you'd be done at X days. This is just frustrating.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
I remember there being a post by one of the first Seekers that they had real trouble getting certain card, complaining on official forums about it (just complaining in general, not giving an official complain) and suddenly getting it.
Sometimes they have to calibrate the RNG in between.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
And now I got the damn card back to back twice. On to the next step.
Edit: Hooray, it's grindding. Apparently, I need five bazaar permits just to speak to one of the participants in the game. There are six.Last edited by Eldan; 2020-07-01 at 10:15 AM.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
So who's everyone voting for this year? I'm thinking the Tentacled Entrepreneur personally so far.

Seems like our dream kitty won.
Incidentally, she had my support as well.

Re: Fallen London 4 - Khan!!!!!!!
Well, they updated the clothing system today, and boy, are people unhappy about not switching gear in storylets :D
Also, if you sided with the Albino Rat you can continue the Watchmaker's Daughter story via Devices and Desires (just... don't expect too much from it). Big Rat fans will gain the option tomorrow apparently.
Also also, some old access codes for a few items.
