Here’s this week’s thread for any Fallen London questions you don’t want to start a whole thread for!
To start us off, here’s an unanswered Q from last week’s thread:
Does anyone know if you can reclaim your soul from the Stacks while already having the unlock in the carnival active? I’m always up for hunting new books, but I’m not sure if the qualities will conflict.
I’m unsure what that even refers to. Is that part of the Fate-locked method to reclaim one’s soul?
The carnival option is the fate locked method for restoring your soul. They’ve recently added a rare spawn to the stacks that provides an option to get your soul back without spending fate. I’m just trying to clarify the former locks you out of the latter or if it’s just a very rare chance (I think I’m about 40 tries into testing it myself, but obviously I can’t prove I’m not just seeing my results via chance).
Unfortunately both of these methods are poorly documented right now. The existing method is Fate-locked so it’s not fleshed out on the Wiki. And the new one is new, and rare, and that type of effect is not transparent so we don’t know what the rules are. I’m not even sure if it’s possible to play the new one twice or not.
Makes sense (kind of what I suspected). I’ll keep on trying. I’ve hit the last step of soul-hunting short of reclaiming my soul. So, if I get it, that will prove the two aren’t mutually exclusive. If not, at least my library visits will go up.
