New Event: Gently 'Cross the Zee

Fallen London
62

I don’t think considering the 6E per action is applicable here. As an endgame player you probably don’t need to spend the Strong-backed Labour.
I did now around 6 or seven runs with highest difficulty while also pirating along the way and I succeeded at all runs without spending any Labour. I think I only once hit the threshold for the decision if you want to abandon you cargo or not.
I do 100% both the watchful as well as the AotRS checks though and have 60% on the easier Zeefaring one, which makes it rather easy.

So for a mid-game or early Endgame player I would say one can make the argument for spending the Labour.
Plus, it is, pleasingly, more dangerous.

Thank you for letting me earn all those Salty Atlases again. I only took conservative cargo shipments.

This event is more efficient when you are a Monster Hunter and have a Zub. Helps a little bit.

If you want better rewards along the way, try maxing out your Zeefaring and Kataleptic Toxicology, and being a proud Pirate.

I’m not going to lie, optimization strats and EPA things fly right over my head, so I’ll just take your word for it

Does anyone have an echo of the text when the event ends as you’re heading back to London? I accidentally skipped it entirely, but it was several paragraphs.

Starting here with the third entry down (Explosions About Nothing of Consequence), then the second down (Eyes and spines and jagged metal)

Probably a coincidence. Don’t think our scientists can prove there’s any causal link here at all (/s)

It’s nothing of consequence.

The Shapeling Arts/Correspondence option for concluding the hunt seems to give out Wild Words prizes, and just in time for Lying-Longing (Storm Threnody week) at the Rat Market next week. Flavor text here.

Am I missing something? - I can still take a consignment to Wayland’s Teeth.

So I guess I will do that and see if anything interesting happens. I just hope I don’t blow myself up on the way :slight_smile:

Edit - I can now hunt the Fluke. I guess you have to be returning from dropping off a cargo to activate the option (or maybe just returning to London but I can’t test that theory)

AW HELL YEAH!

Imagine just getting a ship as a brand new PoSI right now and suddenly there are angry sigils and angrier spines in what was supposed to be relatively safe waters (yes, I see the ‘relatively’ but my point still stands)

I tried with my alt and got no option to hunt fluke. How to hunt it?

Try taking a cargo to Wayland’s Teeth, something will happen on your way home that unlocks the option to start hunting the Fluke.

… and without knowing your Alt, you need at least one genuine point of Monstrous Anatomy.

Does anybody know if there are new options for demise when TW reaches 8? Is there a possibility of getting eaten(??) by the Fluke

Quell it’s rage?! Bloody hell, I wish to parade that things body in the streets and make a feast out of it for the citizens of London, not drive it away!

Oh well, can’t complain too much, still get to battle a fluke! :partying_face:

I’ve gotta be honest, if dropping forty-eight thousand crates of high explosives on this thing didn’t kill it I don’t think we’ll be able to get rid of it anytime soon. Oh well, at least I get those sweet sweet valorous deeds.

So what’s the target number to blast it down? Since it’s higher than 8.

It’s 12, oddly enough… I would have expected 8 or 15
