New PoSI progression options

Apparently, the mysterious options are back!

These options are found in the Unfinished Business storylets. It appears that you need unmodified stats of 215 to see these options.

Each option allows you to gain a new quality in one of three ways.

Watchful -> gives London’s Nerves: Requirements (i) 1 Ubergoat, (ii) 21 Scholar of the Correspondence, (iii) 100 Chess Matches won and 40 Boatman’s Opponent

Dangerous -> gives London’s Sinew: Requirements (i) 100 Influence, (ii) 50 Advancing the Liberation of Night, (iii) 50 Sanguine Ribbons

Persuasive -> gives London’s Blood: Requirements (i) all 5-card lodgings, (ii) Committed, (iii) 15 in each Having Recurring Dreams quality (expect for Death by Water, which needs 10)

Shadowy -> gives London’s Marrow: Requirements (i)1,000,000 Pennies, (ii) all 3200-scrap relicker items (iii) 50 Renown: Constables and 50 Renown: Criminals

It’s not yet clear what these new qualities do. Current speculation is that this is a path to Paramount Presence!

The requirements within the Watchful storylet are either an Ubergoat, 21 Scholar of the Correspondence, or 100 Chess Matches won+40 Boatman’s Opponent

We’ve also got info on the Dangerous option (London’s Sinew).

It requires either 100 Influence, 50 Advancing the LoN or 50 Sangine Ribbons.

It’s also worth mentioning that your choice of how to pass is saved via the respective London’s Organism quality level.

There’s now info on the Persuasive part of London’s Organism - London’s Blood.

The three options are:
All 5-card lodgings,
Committed,
15 in all Dreams (expect for Death by Water, which needs 10)

Overall, very easy even for newer players.

Is there any confirmation as to what actually happens when using any of these new POSI options?

You apparently get a quality. No one’s gotten all four, so beyond that it’s all speculation.

You get the London’s Organism quality used to lock the option. The level of the quality is determined by which option you chose and you get a QLD related to what you used.

The items/qualities used on these options do not disappear. The Übergoat doesn’t, at least.

Wow, I actualy qualify for 2 of those (Assuming you need but one of each) Can qualify for the 3rd (Just need a few mofe friends to rasie that Influence) and not sure on 4th.

Now all I need to do is a insane grind to 15 notability 4 times in a row, change my POSI 4 times for 60 fate, and see what it does!

…In other news, you people are insane and I wish you luck because if this does give out anything for all 4 I’m never getting it unless you unlock something super cool for it.

Well, getting them all seems like a new (very) long term goal for me.

Thanks for the confirmation (and assuring you don’t lose items/qualities)

Too bad that only one such option can be used per character, as that would make it harder to update the wiki with all options…

Agreed! I was worried that I would run out of reachable-ish (read: non-Cider) goals after the Renown conversions and getting a Noman tatoo. Looks like I don’t have to worry any longer–there’s another several months’ worth of work on the horizon after that! Horay!

I do want to point out to everyone that the Paramount Presence option on An Unsigned Message is still locked with the &quotImpossible&quot quality. I for one am nearly certain that London’s Organism is a step on that pathway, but there may be more content updates before we actually arrive there.

There’s a Paramount Presence option on An Unsigned Message? There is a locked option, yes, but that’s most likely linked to the next stage of professions.

Shadowy is (i)1,000,000 Pennies(ii)a Reported Location of a One-Time Prince of Hell, a Rumourmonger’s Network, a Veils-Velvet Scrap, and a Breath of the Void (iii) 50 Renown: Constables and 50 Renown: Criminals

What’s a Sanguine Ribbon?

It’s an item you get through winning the new duel social action.

According to the accompanying flavour text, it’s technically a white ribbon. It becomes a &quotSanguine Ribbon&quot once you dip it in your sparring partner’s blood, which is just so metal (dreamy sigh)

It’ll still look like the cowardly version of the Black Ribbon Society’s ribbons :P

Well, we can’t duel to the death death all the time. Mostly because we’d run out of duelling partners real fast. Unsustainable duelling economy.

Even old Feducci recently takes pity more often than not, knowing that if he won’t let a failure slide (into the slow-passing boat) a few times, he’ll soon be left dueling himself in an empty plaza like it’s a victorian version of the fight club movie.

edit: besides, the red ribbons are gonna look great as elaborate hairdo-tie ribbons ;)

What’s the “influence” requirement referring to?

I believe it’s the amount of acquientances you have. It’s displayed right under menaces and notability score.
