Favour use

Bandages and Dust: The Tomb Colonies
Spar with a black ribbon duelist:14 change points of dangerous for 1 favour(same as before but for 1 favour instead)

dissapointed it didn’t get the same change as criminals(high amount of favours for alot of change points for one main stat).

3

Discretely inform the family (from going gentle) gives

  • around 50cp of society (I gained a full level)
  • 500 Greyfields 1862
  • Favour in high places
4

Does the collection of curiosities trade-in require renown?

Does anything else?

5

[quote=Wiwo]Does the collection of curiosities trade-in require renown?

Does anything else?[/quote]

No. The trade in requires Favours 1. There haven’t been any reports of a Renown unlock yet.

6

If anyone’s hanging around the court composing some music, they could check The Music of the Tomb option to see if they changed the connection requirement to a renown/favour requirement.

7

Acquiring a bandaged raven requires a TC favour. I expect that the opportunity card will have a new option to provide a favour as well. Will confirm when able.

8

Being sent to the tomb-colonies from high scandal gives one favor.

9

I saved a rubbery man instead of a tomb colonist. 7 favors gone. looks like 30 cp rubbery men only. 5 carnival tickets. 1 magnificent diamond gain. 750 deep amber loss. So 30 cp and 5 echoes for 7 favors. Poor trade.

10

Oy! That doesn’t make sense. Do you remember the unlocks for the card?

11

I don’t remember the unlocks but it was “can’t discard”

12

Interestingly, the Bandaged Raven doesn’t seem to have a favours-granting option (yet?).

13

Playing the Tomb Colonists side against the Rubbery Men

Lost 10 levels of Rubbery; gained 5 Carnival tickets; 2 Puzzle Damask; 60 Silk Scrap; some someone is coming and got some wounds. If my dangerous wasn’t capped it would have increased and it will also take daring to 5.

14

I assume you also lost all of your Favours?

15

If it works like “Crime or Punishment?” then you keep your favours if you side against the other faction.

16

if it works like docks vs. widow, you gain a favor when you favor the colonists, too!

17

Ahh! So we’ve two classes of connection cards involving Favours, right?

Connected 50 (or 30)/Favours 5 unlock
Widow (30)/Docks 5
Society (50)/Tomb 5
Constables (50)/Criminals 5
Rubbery (30)/Tomb 5 - !confirmed below.

Connected 5/Favours 3-4
Urchins/Docks

So which type is the Rubbery Man/Tomb Colonist card?

It’s like Acacia and the Butterfly. [quote=Parelle]Ahh! So we’ve two classes of connection cards involving Favours, right?

Connected 50 (or 30)/Favours 5 unlock
Widow (30)/Docks 5
Society (50)/Tomb 5
Constables (50)/Criminals 5

Connected 5/Favours 3-4
Urchins/Docks

19

Confirming it’s 30 Rubbery Connected/5 Tomb Favors for the unlock. Just sided with the rubberies and got no CP gain for the rubberies, but a maniac’s prayer and bottle of Strangling Willow. Aside from that, the information upthread still holds.

20

That’s vastly different results from malecylpse though. Do remember the number of Favours you had?

Edit: thanks particularly for confirming this as I’ve Rubbery 2 and was just about to drag it up to 5 to check it!
