Weekly Fallen London Questions, 06/04/2020

Here’s this week’s thread for quick Fallen London questions!

What is the quickest way to get memories of light? Echoes are not a problem, but the fastest I found was converting wax to scarabs to memories. Any other ways?

Convert 50 compromising documents to 51 memories.

Why is Ambition: A Crack in Veneer for Nemesis in the story section and not in the ambition section of the myself page? Is it just an oversight or is it really that much more of a story?

Can’t seem to find my way to the Bone Market. Did the research for the Dean and got the Route. But no new options anywhere on the map or in Watchmaker’s Hill and Losgings. Am I missing something?

You must visit the Department of Menace Eradication in Watchmaker’s Hill

What happened to the ‘Artisan of Red Science’ quality that I noticed briefly yesterday ?

well I got one point of it for ascending the dome of scales (though somehow I feel that doesn’t answer your question)

Been away for awhile and can’t remember. I never bothered to specialize as a POSI. But I’m working my way toward SOTC 21 and need to overcap my watchful, of course. Do I need to specialize as an Extraordinary Mind before I finish my Notability 15 grind to overcap? Or can I just go straight for the 215?

Edit: a word

Being specialized is a requirement to overcap, you have to do the specialization first.

Specializing early is strongly recommended, because it costs 5 Notability. Dropping from 6->1 is much less painful than dropping from 15->10.

Thanks for the fast answer!

I’ve found this an invaluable reminder of the process:

Does anyone know of how to get to the boatman directly without activating your horsehead amulets? It’s for the ambition to bag a legend where I need to prove I offed the 2nd assassin nun.

thanks in advance!
