An Event Begins: Shifting Streets

‘YOUR STREET IS NOT WHERE YOU LEFT IT’

In the days after the Fall, when the streets were restless and unkind, London reshaped herself. But maps have never stopped being treacherous. The territory is always changing. Like all living things, the labyrinth of the Fifth City grows; shifts; forgets.

The streets of the city – treacherous at the best of times – are shifting underfoot. Familiar routes are disrupted, and unfamiliar neighbourhoods are revealed. To investigate this phenomenon, look for ‘Shifting Streets’, anywhere in London. The activity is open to players of all levels, and will last until the streets have settled once more.

Another chance to raise Neighbourhood Noctivagant to 77 !

I can’t remember: was there any unique reward in this, or an unusually good source of an item?

There’s a good breakdown here

I’m using it to stock up on the 2.5 items and get that sweet vanity text. No special items tho (it’d be neat if hitting 77 gave you a map or something!).

There’s an action in Burgundy that uses Nocturnal Navigant in its difficulty check. Even better than a vanity, it’s utility that is exceedingly niche!

FANTASTIC, had no idea! Tysm!

A minor event prior to the next major event on the calendar: Fruits of the Zee.

A good time to stock up on your Aeolian Screams and Extraordinary Implications, if you are so inclined.

The hardest (Second City) grind gives an Unprovenanced Artefact at the end of it, which yields a random 12.5e value item:

Which is a 2.5 EPA action. Unless you particularly are trying to get one of those ten results, which is, obviously, a 1/10 chance.

Except the next major event is Estival.

1 in 10 is better odds than Hellworm milking: 1 in 33 odds of getting what you want, and many results are crap.

And it’s guaranteed 12.5e value item from provenancing artefacts.

But other than the rare result, you’re spending the artifact (worth 2.5 echoes) plus 7.5 echoes worth of cryptic clues, so you’re only gaining 2.5 echoes. If you’re just after the cash value you’re better spending the action elsewhere.

More than halfway through now. The text has changed! The second city has moved on from hieroglyphs to Correspondence.

Oh, now this I didn’t know! Cheers!

I’m mildly disappointed nothing in this events gives London Street Signs.

It looks like the World Quality counter for this event has reset.

.. I think it is counting backwards, so as soon as the World Quality is zero the event is over ..

Well, don’t I feel silly! LOL … although the text “x% of the way to 100,000” seems inapt.
