To no one’s surprise, the Bohemians went from Connections, to Favours and Renown. I am currently trying to grind my way getting a Salon, and I have most of what I need. However, with the change the Connection grind in the Shuttered Palace has gone Poof, and I now have no bloody clue how to get even a single favour for the Bohemians.
So… Does anyone know how I can get Bohemian Favours? I am loathe to do a repeat of my weeks of grind to get my 10 Hell Renown by waiting for sheer dumb luck to get Polite Invitations, so I’m hoping someone here can point me to a more… reliable way. I am already capped out at the Carnival, for the record.
The only repeatable sources I know of are opportunity cards, but there are far more options available than just Polite Invitations (for Hell as well as Bohemians). The best options are the Bohemians’ faction card, where you’ll pay some wine and candles for a favour, and the Hungover Terrier’s connected pet card, where you’ll get a favour for free. I assume that Polite Invitations will also work as sources (possibly with rare successes), though I haven’t verified this.
Doing the Scandal-locked option on the Townhouse’s card has a chance to give you a Bohemian favour alongside one for Society.
The Young Stags can also be used to get 1 Bohemian and 2 Society favours, if you’re inclined to pick your club for metagaming reasons or are already a part of the Stags.

Already part of the Stags to get the Salon, so… Yeah. I try to stick to my character fantasy, but do occasionally metagame. But the fact that getting anything done now is relying on luck from the Deck is… obnoxious to enormous degrees. But thanks for the tips, I’ll see about it.
It’s fate locked, but Jenny’s Finishing School is probably the single best way to get Favors. For Bohemians, grab three "Approved Candidates," including the Bohemian student, and use the Bohemian as the final exam. You get a 50% chance for a favor every 12 actions, and you get the real prize as a bonus. For doing the 12 action carousel, your opportunity deck resets giving you 10 chances for another card that gives a favor.
Have we misunderstood each other? I completed the finishing school after the conversion yesterday and received a Bohemian favour from one of the teaching actions rather than the final exam.
Failbetter changed it pretty quickly after the conversion that the teaching option no longer gives favors. I guess having 4 50% chances at a favor was too overpowered or something.
