How to Become A Person Of Some Importance

So, uh, sort of silly question…

It says that you do it by raising a stat to 100, then awaiting the ambitious barrister. I’ve had 2 stats at 100 for quite a while now, and don’t seem to have seen anything.

Is there another requirement? Is ambitious barrister an opportunity card, or do I have to go find it? I feel like I’m missing something…

Thanks, everyone :-)

It is a card, with a variant on “A Coincidence” as the title, one for each stat above 100. You shoul dbe able to force her hand by talking to one of your contacts at your Lodgings tied to a stat you have above qoo. (Coalman for Dangerous, Urchin for Shadowy, Vicar for Watchful, Sculptress for Persuasive.)

Thanks!

…except, now I can’t work out how to get a Favourable Circumstance :-/

You don’t need a Favourable Circumstance. Go to your Lodgings, click the Local Gossip storylet, and then move on from there.

I’m still not seeing anything :-( The action that says will let you draw an opportunity card is in ‘Write Letters’ and all of them need Favourable Circumstances. Local Gossip storylets have various other things, some of which are locked for having to be a POSI only. I’m confused…

It’s not in Write Letters, it’s within the Local Gossip. He’ll get you in touch with your 4 neighbors (each of which represent a stat), and those neighbors will get you started. As long as you have that stat at 100 the option will show.

If the choice to start the PoSI stuff isn’t visible under the neighbor’s sub-page, you probably started it already (check for &quotA person of some little consequence&quot under Progress on your character sheet).

If the neighbors (eg &quotSpeak to the Clay Coalman…" there’s four) are not visible on the gossip’s page, you need to do their quest chain (there’s one in each of the four starting areas). They should be fairly trivial if you have 100 in that stat.

Ah I think I figured it out. I have started already. I didn’t realise you needed all 4 stats above 100, it sounded like you only needed 1. I’m stuck at Watchmaker’s Hill because of my Dangerous which is the only one below 100 right now …I’d better get cracking. Thanks for your help everyone!
