A couple other good ones: You mentioned Adam's way for the Grotesquery, but if you have 84 Hearts or thereabouts you can assist at the animescence hospital in the Chapel of Pyres for a Tale of Terror, Zee-ztory, Memory of Distant Shores, and Vision of the Surface each time. (Also great for those trying to make the Zong of the Zee.) Another good one is to avoid finishing the questline in Varchas, spend the day listening to mantras in the temple of Varchas for a free Memory of Distant Shores each time, then rest in the inn and choose the Courtyard event in the evening (50 mirrors check) for another 3 Memories, for a total of 7 per stay.

I'm trying to play Fallen London but for some reason no icons show up and the page layout is all hosed up on every browser. What's the deal? It's not a java issue, I just updated it. Also this game and setting is really cool, gently caress the haters

Sounds like a connection's timing out, and it isn't serving the layout or images. Best I can suggest is to try again in a bit; FL occasionally suffers from server weirdness and lag, but they sort it out quickly.

poo poo, that's weird, it's loading fine for me on Firefox and IE. I presume you've bypassed the cache with CTRL+F5 or whatever your OS equivalent is. If it was just Firefox, I'd suggest it might be an ad blocker or HTTPS Anywhere making something choke, but those aren't going to affect entirely different browsers. :/

How do you get new tomb colonists after losing some? I saw an event for it in Polythreme back when I had a full complement but it's gone now that I don't.

Quite infrequently, you can find a tomb-colonist inside a Zee Creature's stomach. Crabs and Sharks do not a chance for this, supposedly. The other method is the one you found in Polythreme, where you recruit a bandage-colony to play the part of one of your missing tourists. This is available 50% of the time you dock at Polythreme with Something Awaits You.

Yeah, it usually works by varying the RESULTS of a particular action, but there are a few places in the game where an entirely different option appears for you to choose.

Dramatika posted:Does anyone know if the Eater of Names respawns? Like an idiot I accidentally traded it in at venderbight, and I was working on the kingdom ambition. It should. Note that the spawning system in this game is a little odd: spawns have a chance of appearing, but the chance is only checked every time you load a game. So if you load your game and it isn't showing up, don't waste an hour continuously checking the spot, just reload again.

What's a sustainable way to make money with the base ship? My Sphinxstone just ran out and I'm not sure what to do since I seem to be eating away at my capital on any trips.

Anonononomous posted:What's a sustainable way to make money with the base ship? My Sphinxstone just ran out and I'm not sure what to do since I seem to be eating away at my capital on any trips. Use the Admiral's requests to get Strategic Information, combine 2 pieces of it (right-click on it in your inventory) and convert it to Vital Intelligence, which you can turn in to the Admiral for 350 echoes a piece. Most of his requests are easily reachable, and you can ask for a different one if you get sent to somewhere like the Chelonate on the other side of the map. The first time you give the Admiral the Vital Intelligence, it'll unlock the Voracious Diplomat, who will give you Diplomatic Agents you can take to Port Carnelian or the Khanate to set up spy networks which will get you more Vital Intelligence down the line. I've found this to be a pretty sustainable source of money as the game goes on. You can also turn the Intelligence into the Diplomat directly, which gets you more money than via the Admiral, but this can be problematic down the line: if you raise Supremacy: The Dawn Machine too high you lose access to the Admiral. You can also do the Blind Bruiser's requests, but the profit margin isn't too great, and getting caught by the authorities can be pretty costly. The other quick way to get money in the early game is via the First Curator in Venderbight. It's not sustainable, but it'll give you a large cash injection you can use to boost yourself up to the better ships. If you haven't got the quest, you have to find and return 7 very rare items, some of which can be got very early, and you'll get a Captivating Treasure in return which can be sold for 1000 echoes. Spoilered because half the fun is looking for them: You can get Cosmogone from the Uttershroom via a simple sidequest involving spreading Blemmigans to other islands. You can get Peligin from Avid Horizon for a small payment of Fragments. You can also get Irrigo from Avid Horizon if you haven't used up your Beginner's Luck, though it's only a 50% chance. You can get Viric from doing the early part of the Tireless Mechanic's quest, or by somehow making it to Varchas (unlikely with the starting ship but you never know.) You can get Violant from a rare event if you wander the Khanate. The others will have to wait till later in the game. Lastly, you can try to start the Pulse of the Principles sidequest in Port Cecil, which will shower you in Scintillack in exchange for some uncommon items. However, Port Cecil might be far away, and it requires lucking through some tough Pages checks to start. If you're interested, keep playing chess until you lose whenever you get there, and you'll start it eventually. e: already written too many words, but you can try trading Darkdrop Coffee to the surface as well. Going to the surface too much is dangerous, but a few trips won't do any harm. Basically, you buy Darkdrop Coffee and Fuel at the Iron Republic, sell the coffee in Vienna, and buy the supplies you need for the next run on the surface where they're cheap. It's not ideal in the early game as you need a reasonable amount of starting capital to buy the coffee and the supplies, and you don't have much hold space, but it becomes more useful as the games goes on.

OK, cool. Thanks for the tips. I was also wondering if I should be fighting. I checked a few beginners guides when I started, and they all basically said no way, the starter ship is awful, you'll die. Fight only when you upgrade to a new ship. But the SA LP I've been checking out says fighting is super easy and a great source of supplies. It was started in February, though. So has the combat AI been upgraded and I will, in fact, die? Or were the guides out of date? It would definitely be a nice way to extend my trips with the small starting hold, but I've invested a lot in this run so I'm afraid to try it out and get killed.

Anonononomous posted:OK, cool. Thanks for the tips. smaller pirate ships (i.e. crack pinnaces, frigates) are fairly easy to fight if you can slip in behind their firing arc and pick them to death. khaganate ships and faustic cruisers are a little more dangerous if only because they can chunk you pretty hard if youre in the starting ship. zee-beasts should probably be avoided. their charge attacks are tough to avoid with the starting engines and will gently caress you up hard if they hit. speaking of which, be careful if youre trying to knock out avid horizon things early on, because theres a rare spawn up there that is just deadly as the bl__dy dickens. if youre completely lacking in principles, red honey smuggling is lucrative. the isle of cats has a fairly low-impact storyline that will give you the ability to purchase firkins of red honey for $600 that can be sold in london for $1000. of course, the honey is extremely illegal and will raise your suspicion for even purchasing it. the venturer in london is also a good way to make early game money. he pays very well for loads of ~7 fairly easy to acquire trade goods. he will eventually go away, though, so pay attention to when he starts talking about being close to ready to depart. youll need a ship with a big hold capacity to take him to avid horizon and get the curio that boosts your next captains pages.

With the basic ship, there are a few things that you can fight and beat pretty consistently, and then everything else which will absolutely annihilate you. Weak-looking pirates are fine since they have a very limited arc of fire and are helpless if you get on the opposite side of them, but zee-beasts will tear you to shreds if your ship is too slow and weak to outrun or outmaneuver them.

Are there other sources of mutersalt beyond trading a ridiculous amount of zee-stories in Whither? I almost got enough to finish the story with the implacable campaigner and started the bandaged poissonier, but didn't manage to finish before YASD, I'd like to know for future reference. E: also, are extraordinary implications okay to feed to the scholar, or have I missed something major that would be better? Just hint at it, I'll look for it myself. I really don't want to spoil myself anymore than necessary to avoid anything I found to be a tedious grind.

According to the wiki, the only other place to get mutersalt apart from Whither is via collecting information for the Admiral from the Mangrove College, which isn't exactly reliable. If you need zee-stories, go kill a few Jillyfish and watch them dissolve. 5 Extraordinary Implications can be traded for something significantly better. Spoilers for where and what: a Searing Enigma, at Irem.
