It’s always Monday somewhere in the Neath - here’s this week’s quick questions thread!
What happened to the two inaccessible areas at Zee? They’ve just vanished from the menu now. All I have is the places I’ve always been able to go to and the… other place. You know the one.
Well, as far as I’m aware you mostly answered your own question: they just vanished from the menu. I’m not aware of any official communication about them (though maybe people who frequent IRC or Discord might have gotten some comment about it and could inform us both).
Well, sure, but I was curious as to why. :)
I’m not aware of any word on Discord about their removal. Hopefully it means they’ve been removed so they can be worked on, and we’ll be getting them in actual content eventually! But who knows.
The Treachery of Maps.
All right. Jolanda has had a moral epiphany. When Implausible Penance comes up, I usually beat the Minister. I don’t want to beat him up any more. He seems a decent sort of fellow, and I am not sure he can take any more punches anyway.
So I want to start beating the smuggler now! The problem is, I know that a quality called Turncoat appears when you do that. How do I get rid of turncoat? There seemed to be a way with the Reputation system, but I am not sure what the way is now.

If you get Turncoat up to 4 and then run through the Affair of the Box grind, the end of the cycle will include an option that lets you erase Turncoat by spending either Revolutionary Favours or Connected: Masters.
I don’t think there’s anything you can do to reduce Turncoat if it’s below 4.
I see. Well, I am fine with beating up the Smuggler more than once, till I get to Turncoat 4. Yessir, no problem. But does having Turncoat stop me from doing anything else, given that I have completed the Affair of the Box years ago?
Turncoat does nothing besides interfering with AotB, and the options to remove it will remove the quality fully regardless of level, so feel free to ignore it.
You only acquire turncoat when you actually change sides. So from now on, beating the smuggler has no further consequences. However, if you decide to switch back to the minister…
(I switched the other way and acquired it as a result. However, I usually play that card at the Arson level for the urchin favour, so didn’t even remember who was my victim last time.)
