Tier 3 Criminal Renown item is now on my mantelpiece, for anyone wanting to have a look. Will soon take it down but I guess you can see it at the wiki, it has an entry there!
One Who Pulls the Strings (Companion) +10 Shadowy, +1 Dreaded

If anyone has the 40 Renown Tomb-Colonist item, could they be so kind as to link the echo to getting it and put it on their mantelpiece for all of us to observe?
I just got the low-level Docks item:
The Ex-Privateer Clerk. +4 Watchful

Hey Failbetter, would it kill you to add a mirror that gets you sent to prison without incrementing a criminal record? Or some option for your character to go there purposefully? (You could spin it as a decision to go undercover.)[/quote]
Be careful what you wish for! What if they do make a mirror that drop you into Prison… and set Wounds to 16 on the side? ;)
[quote=dov]You can grind for Docks Favours without waiting for cards:
Just play any story which changes the Airs of London (e.g. Unfinished Business). When the Airs value is in the range 96-100 (roughly every twenty actions), you can go and get a Docks Favour from the Chandleress in the Department of Menace Eradication.
It’s still RNG dependent, but without cards.[/quote]
Nice tip, thanks!
Anyone know how to check our Airs without putting it on the Scrapbook Status? Perhaps using Plans tab on a specific storylet?
EDIT: Yeah I was able to just add Confide in the Chandleress to Plans. Does any action in the Myself tab change Airs? Could potentially just cycle items without leaving the Chandleress, if so.

Unfinished Business storylets usually refresh airs, and are what I use when I need a specific one.
I tend to so a mouse-over on one of the relevant storylets. Also, since there are only 5 levels of airs involved (96-100), I’m familiar with the words for those levels, which appear on the results page when the airs change. As I’m sure you’re aware, the wiki has a list.
That’s what I do as well.
If I ever see any of the following sentences in my results, I go to the Chandleress to get a Docks Favour:
As an aside, high airs levels are also worth noting because they throw up the best option on Time in Bed.

I’d be completely okay with that. Criminal Records are utterly permanent stains on my character, and losing 14,315 change points of Connected: Hell is something I’d prefer to avoid, especially since they are on track to be converted to the much more permanent Favours/Renown system.[li]
Speaking of Connected: Hell, the first option with the Brass Ambassador at the “A Polite Invitation” party is ridiculously overpowered. I expect it will be changed to a much more reasonable single Favour.

As someone who enjoys having connected hell 0 I look forward fo seeing how the Favours will work! I’d have mental reservations if I had to have Renown Hell rather than just Favors Hell.
May I recommend the Unfinished Business storylet for Foxfire Candles in Veilgarden if you’re Favour grinding? 500 Candles are needed for each round of the Tomb Colonies Renown 15+ Upgrade

We’re also hoping to add in the Urchins faction to the Favours / Renown system this year, followed by the Constables and then the Devils (no confirmed date for these yet).[/color][/quote]
Looks like I know what I am grinding for next.

What are the odds the urchin change to favors will get added just in time to disrupt everyone’s noman grind for pails of lacre since its the end of the year almost and that says it will be done this year haha.
Maybe if anyone is planning on grinding for the noman this year it would be a good idea to grind out some extra tears of the bazaar juuuust in case urchins suddenly swap to favors right as sacksmas hits and you suddenly have no way to reliably obtain pails.
Just throwing that out there :P

Huuuuush now!!! It’s not, right? I mean, 75 CP of Hell for ~2 AP required to get the wine from Velocipede, 5 Infernal Contract which are 0.5 AP and 2 CP of ToT is not OP at all! :D

Well it was announced a long time ago and I started grinding them from level 20 or or so since then. Using only conflict cards and Arson and Avarice I managed to get to level 368. So I hope people won’t start nagging about changes overlapping with eachother
When the favor/renown system is introduced, will the connected quality be removed from those factions?
It is removed shortly after, so they can make sure the transfer went okay.
Actually, I’m not 100% sure how transferring connections to the favor/renown system works.
When they transfer a faction, do we lose our existing connections CP with the relevant faction and start the grind for favor/renown fresh, or does our existing CP get exchanged for a number of favors/renown?

The Faction Connections gets converted to Renown like this:
Renown = (Connection leve - 21) / 5 (or 6)
If you could grind a faction connection easy, the divider will be 6, otherwise 5, but probably for the very easy ones (like Society) it’ll be bigger.
Let’s say Urchins will be considered an easy faction so you’ll need Connection level 321 to have it converted to Renown 50.
If I’ve seen this correctly, no one has yet posted the Renown: Tomb-Colonies 40 item + echo yet.
If anyone’s interested you can take a look here.

Oh, great, a persuasive companion which means I can delay my visit to Flute Street which I don’t have yet, but also means I can stay in the University more!
