Weekly Fallen London Questions, 08/12/2025

Here’s this week’s thread for any Fallen London questions you don’t want to start a whole thread for!

Is this only happening to me (due to an eccentric use of browser plugins, maybe): when I’m at the university and move to the laboratory by map instead of using the storylet, the opportunity deck doesn’t change?

I’m seeing that too. Refreshing the page makes the correct deck appear.

I thought that’s the entire reason why the lab was a “gated” location to begin with. The Storylet changes the Setting to one with the lab deck instead of the London deck. They might be experimenting with some tech changes to relax that restriction, so you can leave the lab via map as well as enter it.

You can also reset the deck by entering & existing a storylet. Just check in with one of your lab assistants. If you’re on a slow machine/connection this is probably faster than a full page refresh.

Are Ivory Humeruses ever useful in a remotely profitable skeleton recipe, or can I just liquidate them for script?

I just realise I have a fair few of them, that I never seem to use for anything.

Anthropology week let’s you put 4 arms on skeletons and get fad bonus. It’s not necessarily easy to get the buyer you want with humanoform skeletons if you are looking for certain payouts.
They are only 2.5 € more valuable on a skeleton than they are in the hinterlands, so the profit per action is not great if you don’t double dip with secondary skeleton qualities. Which is harder with humanoform skeletons and then requires also using less valuable bones in place of humeri.

They’re an option in the Sous carousel (this week, iirc).

So I can safely sell some of them. Thanks!
