I've reached a point in Persuasive that I need to get like 2000 bottles of wine to move on and I can only farm like 2 or 3 at a time. It's going to take a lot of grinding...

[hops]

The easiest way to get that amount of wines is to buy them.

So just grind on your most lucrative storylet and then buy the wines.

[Sergius]

Good plan, thanks.

Well, if anyone cares, I'm looking for friends/contacts, name:Blazing Glory (I hadn't the foggiest it would transfer to my character name.)

I would appreciate it if anyone who seeks to contact me to mention their Bay12 user name.

Well, I'd been keeping quiet for a while, but now I'm a PoSI. I think I have a fair amount of acquaintances but now I'm open for more active people to do social actions with.

I'd love to, once I'm back from Polythreme

On an unrelated note, I've been doing pretty well for myself. I'm working on the Case of Jack, and gotten into the Cave of the Nadir.

Okay, so this isn't exactly about just Fallen London, but StoryNexus is retiring Nex, and Failbetter plans  to make all their non-FL paid content free. So, if you haven't played the paid content in Silver Tree or Cabinet Noir, you will be able to play them for free soon.

The Silver Tree in particular is worth going through, since there's one paid content which involve a Master of the Bazaar. Plus, the Silver Tree in general gives out a lot of lore regarding the Fourth City, the Far Khanate, and a certain sculptor whose soul ended up being traded in an agreement with a devil and a person seeking the Fidgeting Writer.

Any particular reason they're abandoning Nex? (also, does this mean they're going back to whatever the old FL currency was besides echoes?)

Oh nice. May have to look into that. I think I've mined all the gold I'm going to out of FL, besides the Events. It's weird, I thought Sunless Sea would fill in a lot of details, but it really doesn't. You get to see and get a sort of tactile experience about what these things are, but still no real history. I guess that's just FB's way.

Anyways, Nex will become Fate in Fallen London, which I'm guessing you'll buy from them.

[hops]

Yeah, they're going back to Fate and the Nex in Fallen London will become Fate. They cited it as a cosmetic change to simplify the amount of currencies in Fallen London, and I'm guessing that they also wanted to release their other worlds for free.

Also it seems to me that the bulk of Fallen London lore seem to be suggestions which begin to coalesce into definitive facts, and some of them are in storylets that can be missed, like killing a demon for example.

It also seems like the majority of plot come from Fate-locked contents. A Master even got [REDACTED]

[blazing glory]

Will we still be able to use Fate for action refreshes in other Storynexus worlds?

You won't have to; all other StoryNexus worlds will have an action cap of 1,000 per day, refreshing at a rate of 1 per minute.

Non Fallen London games will also have a highly expanded action cap.

[nenjin]

Ah well. The mysteries tend to be more enticing to me than the answers anyways. It sort of seems like all they do aside from seasonal events lately is fate-locked content. I think the last real free thing they did in FL was....Clay Men Quarter I think? During Sunless's Seas development I can appreciate they probably didn't have the time or the money to make more content other than the stuff that pays the bills. But now that it's released and there's only the DLC to work on, I hope they start putting some love back into Fallen London. Finish Ambitions, FFS. The story of the ambition I chose has gotten so twisted and ridiculous, I almost don't care where it ends up, I just want an end to it. Last I checked I needed to steal a Dirgible so someone would perform surgery on someone else.

Anyways, as much as I like the writing and the world and the setting....the math comes out to like $5 a story. Which the writer in me wants to go "that's fair" but the gamer in me goes "that's 8 minutes of content you just paid $5 for, moron."

[hops]

Yeah, I'm still wondering what Failbetter's position is on the grindfest.

[pondicherry]

This game is soo Sunless Sea, Love the atmosphere .

This game is soo Sunless Sea, Love the atmosphere .

That's probably because they take place in the same universe and were made by the same company
