Weekly Fallen London Questions, 06/09/2021

Do you remember? The questions we asked in September?

Can’t you just hop on the GHR and ask him?

You could, but your answer will be a sermon even longer than the train ride. I was hoping someone else took notes I could glance at.

If you’re going anyway, ask him what I can do with all the Secluded Addresses I seem to be accumulating, or (better yet) whether he will give me an Impossible Theorem or clear up the Eighth Seal for them.

I really didn’t think that upgrading the Cabinet would scrap your current Cover. D__n it.

In tangentially related matters, how is one supposed to discover/make sails for the Khanate? I can’t seem to move the map enough to show it.

PS: Is there a way to get notified via, say, mail when someone sends you a PM here?

Once your Cabinet Noir is at level 4, you should be able to draw a card in London which will point the way. Make sure you are not currently deciphering a document in your cabinet, that will block the card.

You should be able to scroll the map far enough to see it, I think. I didn’t try the new zailing map until after I’d already been invited to the Khanate.

Perhaps you need to enable the compatibility map? Even on devices that have no problem with the default map, the compatibility map is superior in almost every way.

Aside from Furnace, do any of the Board members actually need to be on the Board for story reasons? Not looking for any spoilers beyond the names; just trying to figure out how much I can pare things down so I don’t have to either spend a Queen Mate or take a dozen actions for every meeting.

Nope, you can feel free to rearrange your board however you like, when it allows you. I think you can’t kick off the Efficient Commissioner for a little while, and the minimum total number is 4, but other than that you can have whatever board you like.

There are some options that are only available when certain board members are present, but I don’t know of any of the them that have an actual effect on the story or mechanically. Except for the option to build statues of certain board members in certain stations, but statues are purely mechanical.

The widow also enables a profitable board resolution that greatly increases banditry, only if you have 5+ board members.

Sinning Jenny is useful to reduce banditry, which (in addition to Dangerous levels) is what can make travel harder / fail (it doesn’t mean you don’t get there, it just costs Rumours).

Eh, my preferred way of reducing banditry is to push it the rest of the way up to 8 and convert it to scandal.

ooh, I didn’t know you could do that! Very useful info, I don’t mind the Tomb Colonies. (and thanks to everyone for the answers!)

I’ve clicked around the wiki without success - does anyone know if there’s a list of everything that can be sold to the Bazaar and their value? It’s just for a novelty project, really, so I can build up a collection of expensive trinkets for my own enjoyment

I’m not sure if there’s a single list for the Bazaar as a whole. But at the least, there are lists for each of the stores. E.g. here is the one for Carrow’s Steel. All of those should be in the Shops category, although that category also includes the Upper River Exchange (and potentially others, if they exist?).

Yea, I guess I’m after the opposite - a master list of everything that the Bazaar will buy from me. It came from wanted to know how many other items were worth E1560.

I’ve found this, which does the job! Items (Guide)/Most Valuable - Fallen London Wiki

Am I right in thinking the Bohemian Sculptress (Bone Market) no longer pays in Rumours of the Upper River, but solely in Surface Blooms? Both are listed on the Look for Buyers page, but on her own page, it only lists the Blooms.
