We all know someone is going to go for all 4 of these. Who’s gonna be crazy enough to do it?
I WOULD, but griding to 15 Notability 4 times would be such a annoyance to grind, and I don’t know how to do it well. Plus the changing POSI thing. All for something that might not even do anything. edited by Kylestien on 7/29/2017
People have ground for Cider and Heptagoats. This is no different - a crazy long-term goal for people at the cap who have nothing left to do. And from the person who cheated to get there we know that it does something, although it’s far from impressive for the amount of effort.

Of course many will go for it! Even if it’s frigging expensive to get get Notability to 15 plus another 12/Fate. I’ll probably start working on it, slowly, after I prepare for SMEN after the Feast. Meh, to many precious Tears which are needed for an interesting tattoo!
I’ll also go for it. If I see this correctly I already have the qualities/items to go for all of the London’s […]-qualities, so it comes down to overcapping each attribute to 215.
I’m with dov, though, and won’t do it exclusively because I’ll either go mad or lose interest in the game. We’ll see how long it takes, I’m not in a hurry.
Who’s going for it? Not me. The grindy part of the game is the part that occasionally makes me want to stop playing. Don’t care about goats, cider, EPA, or any of that jazz. When I hit a point where all there is to do is grind then that’s when I zail off into the zunset. Er, sunset. Oh wait. Sunless… Yeah.
I could go for it. I have at least one of the requirements for 3 of them (of course the one I haven’t got is for my existing specialisation).
So I either need to arrange things to get 2 protegees for 100 Influence or start doing the duel to death and winning 50 times!
But the Notability thing is tricky, I only just got to 15 during the election, and I can’t afford the Fate option. That is a lot of grinding MW which isn’t much fun.
Also I’m a seeker and am at the point where I can get to Winking Isle if I sell everything but then I would need to replace the relicker items for the Shadowy requirement.
So I’m not going to hurry but will probably think seriously about doing it.
I will go for it, but it’s going to take a long long time as I’m immensely inefficient at Notablity gaining and I don’t have the Fate to spend. But I’m not yet ready to be a seeker and I want to see my ambition through.

I’ve only one of the 3200 items and I poured most of my cash into the Ubergoat. And I haven’t found a way to grind or even improve Constables - getting Criminals 50 won’t be as bad since I’m now at 42. But UGGGGGH) edited by Parelle on 7/28/2017
Oh! So for example the "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"
I wouldn’t need all of them to get that Shadowy quality, but just one of those three criteria? That actually makes it a lot more doable and something I’d be willing to pursue :) Thank you for explaining that!
While I’m bugging people with this . . . I have to ask, where/how does one uncover the option/storylet to gain those qualities? Like, I already have 200 in all stats, and - such as for Persuasive - I already have one of the criteria. Do I also need to get the 15+ cap before anything appears?[/quote]
Yep. The Ambitious Barrister appears in the relevant Unfinished Business storylets.[li]
I’m totally going for these. I’m going to see if I can max out Renown and SotC and everything while I’m at it, since I need to overcap my stats anyway. I don’t necessarily have to drop everything to do this, if I’m okay with taking a few years. Which I am, since I see no urgency.[li]
I’m also going to go for the specific requirements that suit my character (which basically means it suits my personal morality). Almost all of them are things I’ve been slowly doing anyway. edited by Saklad5 on 7/28/2017
Wait, is reaching Renown 50 even possible for all stats right now? That necessitates getting 294 in each respective stat, and I’m not sure that is achievable for all of them even with Moods, overcapping, and the best gear.

I have two requirements, could easily knock out a third (an Ubergoat), and have no objection to getting the fourth, but… i’m also currently grinding Cider. And I still need Erzulie’s. So it won’t happen before I do both of those things.[li]
On the plus side, that gives me a ton of time to grind Criminals and Constables, since I’ll be spending the other Shadowy requirements in the course of getting those two things. edited by Jeremy Avalon on 7/28/2017
With the ability to change specializations and keep the overcapped stats, it is now possible to reach Renown 48 for each stat without Moods, with the right gear setup. Moods will easily push the limit to 50.
I’ll definitely be chasing this goal, but like everyone else I’m in no great hurry. I have almost no fate-locked bdr stuff & thanks to the best part of a year spent only logging on to visit the nadir I’m not even stat capped right now, so it’ll be a long long time before I’m done. Hopefully by the time I get really going with it notability grinding will have become less tedious. Fingers crossed I won’t get too worn out with the clickathon.
This is something that I intend to achieve, but I won’t be starting serious work on it until next year.
My current in-game goals are Renown and a Noman tattoo. Paramount Presence is my current front-runner for what to do after both of those are checked off, but the FLR project might release something else in the meantime that I would rather pursue first (like updating Light Fingers!). I also want to have high Notability coming in to Hallowmas, so I’d rather not be spending it all in the month leading up to it. I would like to acquire another 2000 scrap by New Year’s, since that’s the easiest way to pass the requirement for my current POSI specialization, but that’s definitely a background task.
a) One bad apple didn’t just spoil this for all of us.
b) Only the qualities are needed to trigger PP. Holding onto 15 in one stat is hard enough. Trying to keep 3 while trying for the 4th would be stressful.
