In this case, 207 unfortunately wouldn’t be quite enough. I looked at your profile (to get a breakdown of your setup and give a better explanation based off of it, not to creep! :P) and your total bonuses before using a Mood will actually be +45–since Moods take up the hat slot, to get a more accurate total you should exclude your current hat.
However! Since you said your plan is to overcap all the way to Persuasive 215, +45 actually will be enough. After using a Mood, you’ll then get +75 from your gear, plus 215 will equal 290 exactly :)
Ah–yes, thanks! I keep forgetting about the mood taking the hat slot! I did Courier’s Footprint before going for PP, in fact I only went for 215 because I had CF. This time around, I’ll wait until I have 215, anyway. Thanks so much for the reply!
[quote=Estelle Knoht][quote=Optimatum]We had the weird giving-items-qualities thing for that with Enthralling, back in the day. (Not sure if that was removed or just made invisible though.)
A separate inventory category for literary works would be nice though.[/quote]
Item tags are most likely removed. That goes for both Intoxicated and Enthralling.
Then again, Enthralling was a bit all over the places (it seemed a bit odd for the newspaper ingredients to have it, for example) and the only time it was helpful was trading in Short Stories during Election.[/quote]
Intoxicated got used a couple times in Flint and other places. I wonder how those options have changed…
With a Persuasive destiny and overcapping as legendary charisma it’s possible without a mood. I wouldn’t switch a destiny or specialization for that though, since mood cards are easy enough to come by (I get 3-4 every month).
A number of the new options (fictional film and documentary, Nocturnal and Elder Continent poems) give you the chance to stock up on the first tier items that lead to the third tier making waves carousel. That’ll make the notability grind much easier.
This was a bug (the regular success/failure didn’t actually remove the "A Fine Piece" quality, but it reduced one more than it should have).
According to FBG this should now be fixed - regular success/failure in advancing "A Poet-Laureate" should only cost you as many "A Fine Piece" as the option’s requirements state (formula = (5 + current "A Poet-Laureate" level) ).
And there’s still the rare success in which you might either lose or gain a few levels of "A Fine Piece" instead - full range/formula to be confirmed (observed values: loss of 0-4, gain of 0-5).
Ah–I’d been wondering about that because the last couple times I cashed in, it didn’t take it all if I had extra! Hooray! Glad it was a bug–this makes a lot more sense.

I wonder if the possible range for the rare success is dependent on the current level of "A Poet-Laureate".[/quote]
From the screenshot above, the simplest formula matching those figures would be "Poet-Laureate - 5", which would also account for the rare success both increasing and decreasing A Fine Piece (since for PL < 5, the change would be negative)
[quote=dov]I wonder if the possible range for the rare success is dependent on the current level of "A Poet-Laureate".[/quote]I almost definitely think so. What genesis says about "Poet-Laureate - 5" makes sense too. I haven’t had a rare success since that one, which was almost two weeks ago. If I get another, I’ll check to see if the formula works.
That’s definitely not it. Maybe the range scales with Poet-Laureate, but for my first level I got the rare success and lost 4 AFP rather than gaining any.
