Re: Echo Bazaar
Woot! I officially have +10 to my dangerous quality now. Another day and I should be at 60+10(at 57 and literally 1 challenge away from 58).
+1 Hat, +3 Pet, +2 Gloves and boots, +1 Weapon, +1 Suit. Kinda ticked about the suits, there are literally no +2 dangerous suits. Hell, I don't even think there are any +3 or +4's >< I guess Hat is my next place to turn to for an upgrade, I'll probably save up for a +3 Dangerous one.

Re: Echo Bazaar
I've got a boxed cat at the moment, but it's got layers left, so I don't know if that means it needs to do a few more rounds.

The gnomes once had many mines, but now they have gnome ore.

Re: Echo Bazaar
So, it turns out that not all of the higher end Watchful challenges increase Nightmares when you fail. Some increase Wounds, or simply have no penalty at all. This should make raising Watchful a tad faster, particularly when combined with the stat-dropping gear.
On an unrelated note, my Wounds have hit 7. Time to spend some time resting (which might shed some Nightmares at the same time).Last edited by Tome; 2011-11-08 at 03:15 PM.

Re: Echo Bazaar
Far as I can tell, the "Nearly Unwrapped Cat" is always received. So, you always get it with one layer left. The thing is, the Starveling Cat is a rare drop, I think, for the "fortunate" result.
EDIT: I'm pursuing the Barbed Wit romance in the Shuttered Palace.
SpoilerI got to the storylet choice where the misogynist doctor was talking about how women's rights to vote and be educated were scientific flukes, and decided that I was going to throw the idiot out the window. My exile is TOTALLY WORTH IT.Last edited by CarpeGuitarrem; 2011-11-09 at 01:57 PM.

Re: Echo Bazaar
Is there any way to friend somebody on the game besides facebook? I've got an interesting card, and nobody to interact with.

Re: Echo Bazaar
So, what exactly is the Carnival for? I've been wondering for some time, I've gone there a couple of times, and had an opportunity card or two having me catch a wolf or what not, but I've never actually done anything when I traveled there.

Re: Echo Bazaar
From what I've seen, it's just a hub of useful activities, and can raise your connectedness to various groups.

Re: Echo Bazaar
Question, how is that with Ambitions? You can get only one, so do I just choose the one of my favourite stat? Do I get more choices later or are there only those four?

Re: Echo Bazaar
Only those four, and I'd say go with whichever one sounds the most interesting to you. However, unless you make that particular quality your main one, you might advance rather slowly. Though, to be honest, you'll be raising TWO qualities to raise up any one of those ambitions. I picked the Dangerous one, and it requires a high watchful as well. Currently raising my Dangerous so I can complete my level 27 ambition.

Re: Echo Bazaar
Also of note: I'm currently in the process of raising all of my stats to 100, and if you're eager to explore and find more content, it's trivial to play through all of your stats.
See, for me, part of the joy of EB is unlocking new content as you get higher in level in each various quality. So, for me, it's perfectly satisfying to raise all of my qualities, although I do focus on one or the other at any given time. Because no matter which quality I raise, I'm going to be going through interesting content.
I think that's because increasing Qualities is actually a major part of gameplay. It's not like in most RPGs where you increase your stats as part of a budget. Instead, you increase your stats as you play various things.

Re: Echo Bazaar
Now, I appear to be playing the nemesis ambition. Is this the Dangerous one?

Re: Echo Bazaar
Excellent. My two favorite. I'm going for a sort of survivor-character. Very paranoid.
Edit: Hm, I appear to be becoming quite insane. I require assistance.Last edited by Luzahn; 2011-11-10 at 08:51 PM.

Re: Echo Bazaar
Hmm, when does the Little House Plant storylet go to something different? I'm at level 6 for it, and I still only have the option to buy food and pots for it(50 jade), or have someone come and examine it.
Edit: Also, after I passed the 25th step in my Ambition, it said I had unlocked the ability to buy Black Wings Absinthe from the Bazaar, but, when I go there, it's not there, ANYWHERE. Why is that? Getting kind of annoyed here, I reaaaally need to be able to buy it, I have an opportunity card that requires it.
Double Edit: WOOT! Just completed a mini-storylet amongst the Dangerous set of challenges, and man was it awesome :). The ending was the best. Mr. Fires himself came to me and said he'd be keeping an eye on me. Connected: The Masters of the Bazaar is mine! MUAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH. Veteran of the Battle of Wolfstack Docks as well! That was a rush :)Last edited by Starwulf; 2011-11-10 at 09:47 PM.

Re: Echo Bazaar
It just so happens that I work on Echo Bazaar, so I had a quick look at this for you. Are you doing the Bag a Legend ambition? If so, I think you might have misread the last step - it says you can buy a bottle in Veilgarden, so just head over that way.
(If you ever get stuck on your ambition you can go into the 'Me' tab, open the 'Ambition' heading under your qualities and reminisce about your progress - this lets you reread all your ambition story so far, so it's a good way to check what you should be doing next.)
When I played the battle of Wolfstack Docks it all went a bit wrong - I sided with the strikers all the way through then at the end clicked the wrong button and betrayed the to the Masters. Er. Oops.
Glad you're enjoying the game! It's a blast to work on.

Re: Echo Bazaar
I'm approaching 10, and it's still going...maybe 10 is it.

Confess some Nightmares to me. I think I have just enough room to keep you saner. Though I'll ask the same in return...(though you get a small Nightmare bump for listening, if two people trade off, the Nightmare decrease means they both lose Nightmares fast.)
Hey, thanks for swinging by! EB is a pretty nifty game. And a clever engine.
