Hi all,
Question: I don’t have, and am not getting, any ‘Connected:Bohemians’. I checked the wiki for actions that should give me this and tried some, but no action increases this connected quality. I do have other connections, and also have Favours:Bohemians and Reknown:Bohemians. But like I said, nothing I do gives me any ‘Connected:Bohemians’.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
NB: I’m an exceptional friend and not yet a POSI.
The Renown and Favours replaced the Connected: Bohemians quality, so you’re not supposed to be getting any anymore. If you see it on the wiki, that’s just outdated info, the renown switch was quite recent.

I’ve updated the wiki to list all the converted Connection qualities as "Retired".
We’re slowly updating the wiki, one page at a time, once we have confirmation what changed for each action which used to require/provide obsolete Connected levels (i.e. does the action now give Favours instead? Any change in other rewards? etc.)
Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Does that mean that I can expect my other ‘Connected’ qualities (widow, duchess & masters) to also disappear shortly?
All planned switched to Renown have already happened and it’s not clear whether the remaining connections will even be converted ever. So whatever connections you have now, you should keep for quite some time :)
Ah, so any Connected that I’ve build op so far is essentially useless? (not meant as a gripe; just wondering)
Well not useless, the Connected you still have can be used normally (see wiki for uses) and in case they DID get converted, the higher your Connected:[Faction] is, the more renown + favours you will get when the switch happens.
To clarify:
The factions that still use Connected are: The Duchess, The Widow, the Masters, Glass/Shroud, Summerset/Benthic
For all of these, Connected behaves as it always had. You can raise it, spend it, etc. There are no plans at the moment to convert these to the Favours/Renown system, but maybe they will at some future time.
All other factions have already converted to Favours/Renown over the last 2 years. You automatically got some if your Connected was high enough when that faction’s conversion happened. If you still see some Connected listed in your character’s qualities, it’s just there for tracking purposes and should be gone soon (it has no use in game anymore).
to add to dov’s explanation: If you didn’t get any renown:bohemians (and other factions except the mentioned above) that means your connected was so low that converting it would have rendered you a disservice, as you can get the first 5 points of renown along with a bunch of favours for every faction at Ms.Plenty’s Carnival. I recommend doing those before slowly adding to renown by spending favours :)
Yup, done that already - thanks for advicethough :)
