Fallen London: Hello, Delicious Playgrounders

[Luzahn]

Ah, all right. Might as well focus on Dangerous for it, then.

[Hydranova]

Can I just add that I have just gained my first Coruscating Soul via the quest?


I was a bit annoyed when I started the thing since I didn't check it before and the tooltips mentioning the PoSI suggest you need to raise just one stat...

Woohoo, Coruscating buddies!

Also, I forgot to mention this but I got a Dreadful Surmise from chillin' with the Captivating Princess during the Festival. Anything I should save it for, or can I sell it and eventually obtain another one?

Keep it, you can get another from The Smugglers Lamp (some special link thing), still, I think it may eventually have a use.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Also of note, I've discovered some places where you get Making Waves by converting items.

Incendiary Gossip -> Memories of Distant Shores and Tales of Terror -> Extraordinary Implications (if I recall correctly) do. I think? I was just converting things laterally for funsies.

[Eldan]

There's a lot of conversions that now give making waves. Pretty much everything involving influence or rumours. Not just lateral, either, upwards too.

And Luminosity items advance the Liberation of Night when traded.

[Hiro Protagonest]

So can you make a companion a spouse, or only other players?

[Artemis97]

Along the same line of thought, how does one acquire a Touching Love Story? I am one short of being able to declare my affection for another. It's suggesting that I combine Nostalgia items, but I don't know which ones.

Also, thank you to everyone who's accepted my calling card. It is indeed a pleasure to make your aquaintence.

Visions of the Surface.

[Eldan]

Look here. It's updated by quite a bit, but the basic item changes are still correct.

[Endless Query]

When it comes to the Academy storyline, other than being an upstanding moral individual, is there any mechanical benefit to accusing a certain someone and getting thrown out of the academy? Or does it just force you to do a bunch of research work just so you can get academy access again?

[CarpeGuitarrem]

So can you make a companion a spouse, or only other players?

You can't make a companion a spouse, but you can acquire a non-player spouse--it was that way originally. To my recollection, there were two regular possible spouses (the Jewel-Thief and the Artist's Model) whom you had met earlier in the game, as well as some Fate-locked spouses in the Foreign Office.

Not that I've found. I think the other option is just better.

[Eldan]

But you can get back into the university later. Which is expensive nad complicated, but satisfying.

[Luzahn]

It's just like getting your Correspondence Stones back, I suppose. Something nice.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Varen_Tai: I can swing by sometime tomorrow for another Shadowy lesson, so equip your Talkative Rattus accordingly.

[Endless Query]

Hrm. Good to know. On a more subjective level: Cave of Nadir, I've been hitting it up weekly, obviously, for its nice little perks, careful to always keep at 5 on the nose when I leave... But I know you can semi-safely go as high as 9, is it better to accept the slightly larger stat loss per point for being able to use it more/more quickly, or is slow and steady the proper way about it?

[Varen_Tai]

Varen_Tai: I can swing by sometime tomorrow for another Shadowy lesson, so equip your Talkative Rattus accordingly.

Will do! I'll ping you when he's closely attending all my errands around the Neath.

[Hydranova]

Of course- you're giving lessons to the Rattus Faber, and he's relaying them back to Varen. It all makes sense now.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Oh, no, no; I wouldn't trust the Talkative Rattus Faber to do that. We're actually doing a sort of handicap-training. I teach Varen sneaky-sneaky techniques while the Rattus hangs around, making noise and drawing all manner of attention.

It's a real challenge, let me tell you.

[Hydranova]

So, I know of what you get when you complete the What the Thunder Said dreams storyline; do you get anything similar for the other ones?

[rweird]

I don't think so. I haven't seen any other options on any of the cards, though in theory, the branch could be hidden unless you have the qualities needed.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Is Stormy-eyed 1 what you get for doing that storyline?

[Endless Query]

It actually *sets* your Stormy Eyed to 7, if my memory serve. Be careful about that. Also be careful with Stormy Eyed in general...

[rweird]

Yeah, it sets it to 7, though different options increase/decrease it. I don't know what the hazards of it are (besides some giving a nightmare increase), though I have my theory.

[Endless Query]

It's pretty exciting, and not all bad, per se, but I just hope you weren't doing anything too important when things... Go... Interesting... It might be a while before you can get back to what you were doing.

Okay… I haven't found anything with it interesting yet really.

[Hydranova]

What ARE the benefits of that? Or is it something best managed around a middling level?

[Endless Query]

Eh, well, in theory Stormy Eyed is safest kept at a middling level. If it gets too high something... Interesting happens, the down side is it can take a lot of work to get back, and you lose your Stomy Eyed (Which is ALSO a pain to get back), but you have chances to get Aoelian Screams, stats, a few other things, and... Well a lot of interesting text. And isn't that what we're here for? =P

[Destro_Yersul]

I may as well post here. I am Destro Yersul in Fallen London.

I had no idea. Never got my Stormy-Eyed all that high. I'll have to grind it, now.
