I have been grinding the finishing school for favors and deck refreshes an absurd amount. I decided to try and get an absurd amount of credit with the headmistress and now after way to many trips through the school, I now have over 1000 Credit with the headmistress. I legitimately am surprised, i would have expected to hit a cap at some point.
Congrats to all! I’m a newly minted PoSI! I’ve been progressing along the Dueling the Black Ribbon and have a three-card lodging.
I also was lucky enough to collect an absolute killer two-card combo: the one you get with Seeking the Meaning of the Flint Idol 4, which reduces all your wounds…and a Mood card.
Hit the Mood card for Dangerous, racked up the necessary Duel with Feducci to 90% chance of success, hit the Flint Idol card, and…BAM.
I got ridiculously lucky but I’m a bit pleased with myself nonetheless.
I have now achieved "London’s Sinew 3 - A true companion" and am one step closer to becoming a Paramount Presence (thanks again to everyone who sent me calling cards). Just once stat left. London’s Marrow, here I come.
just used a Salon to boost Making Waves and got exactly what I needed to increase my Notability. Zero change points wasted. I am unreasonably stoked for such a minor thing.

I have finally reached the status of the Extraordinary Mind after selling my Noman’s Elemental Secret to get me the equipment I need. Once I’m finished with the majority of seeking, I can start working on capping my stats and getting an Overgoat to max SotC.
I have achieved London’s Blood!! All I have left is London’s Sinew and I will be a Paramount Presence.

Congratulations! I need two of the four, but I’m coming up behind you!
I’ve had 4 A Presumptuous Little Opportunity cards in about a week. I’m almost down for anther tear, right in time for the Noman
After about 4 months and a 79% chance, I’ve finally finished creating a Classic Short Story! Oh, the things that would have happened if I failed…at least I have something to throw down the well now.

Think it’s a combo between good fortune and bad luck, but I’ll put it here as it was a fortune first!
Made my Noman, put on my monocle and, after warming a Tear only a biiiit it was gone on my first attempt. Took extra measures and I managed to use the second for a whooping 27 times! :D
RNG got back in any case even with two consecutive single use, but my average was nice after using 16; 5.9375 before melting so a 7.9375 ToL/bucket was nice!
Side note: Getting 27 consecutive successes is a chance of ~0.24178%, but haven’t found my soul even if, mathematically, I should have got it back more than a few times back! RNG LOVE!
P.S.: Noman knows gain is 1-ToL level, not 1-6.

Related to my post in the failures thread: While unsucessfuly searching for my soul, I managed to Get. The.
BLEMMIGAN SECRETARY !!!
These things never happen to me, I’m not even mad I still don’t have my soul despite opening hundreds of boxes.
You know that cat box you sent me? The partially unwrapped one with contents generally well peeved?
Well, it was a Midnight Matriarch! Graceful, aristocratic, and already into the rats. Yay!
Almost a year and a half, hundreds of packages, hundreds of One’s Public, few hundreds of Noman and Hallowmas cards, spiced with some Wolfstack Docks and a few dozens of Zailing cards…
With this current Noman, after only 103 shopping rounds, I finnaly found MY SOOOOUL!
I’ve completed the grind at court and am now a Poet-Laureate. As best I can tell this doesn’t do anything but that’s one less grind for me to worry about.
Fun fact, I had to wait for a Mood to make the last jump from 19 to 20 because I was exactly 1 point short of the 290 persuasive requirement and there was no way for me to get that last point without changing my spouse or my destiny.
I… I think I just drew Jack Vance twice in a day. I think I’m okay with this. The odds probably aren’t very impressive but I don’t care, it’s Vance.
Edit: GAAAAAAH! NO! The day ticked over while I wasn’t looking! It’s still the first of February here, I promise!

Meh, done shopping so a quick trip on the Zee to get this done!
I am struck by two questions. First, what are those “+” bonuses to your dreams? I’ve never seen that before. Also, what is it you completed? A trip to The Mind of a Long Dead God? Are there mysteries yet hidden to me?
I suspect the numbers next to the dreams are some browser extension tracking CP.

I started keeping track of my Dream qualities more than a year ago and those +x are extra CP to level.
And the achievement was to get all dream qualities above 20. Fire is a bastard as it lock very soon, but got it to 20+ in Nadir. Storm was too low at that time, got it to 20, but had to wait some time to go to Mutton as Sackmass started and Surface was too demanding.
So I am kind of proud of pulling this in less that two years! I also wanted to see if there’s something more outside the known content boundaries, but there’s nothing there. :) Or nothing yet!
Somehow gambled my 5 "Glimpse of Something Larger" in Fidgeting Writer for the Coruscating Soul and a Comprehensive Bribe + goodies. Never been that lucky in that game.
