This week’s quick questions thread is dedicated to some of our favourite questions of weeks past, such as "Which grind has the worst echoes per action? (character has taken vow of poverty)", "Which is better - elevenses or soup course?", and, of course, "Where is rubbery hut?".
Is there an update for Goat farming extension, or other extension for summing value of your goods?
Hi,
Can someone help me and clarify how many change points are required for leveling up in the various categories?
I’ve read that stats max at 70cp, while traits max at 50cp. Is there a comprehensive list anywhere that details the various categories and how they differ?

There’e nothing more to it beyond what you wrote here.
- Main stats (Watchful, Shadowy, Dangerous, Persuasive) max at 70 (every level beyond that needs 70 CP).
- All other qualities max at 50 (every level beyond that needs 50 CP).
My scandal isn’t reducing with my other menaces each week - is it supposed to?
It should be going down every week with Time the Healer.
The reduction is CP-based, so you may not lose a level. The message your receive should still say it’s falling, but it won’t say that it dropped to a new value. Also, if you don’t have any Scandal to begin with, the message will not mention it. Also check to see if you have any Scandal-increasing gear equipped, which cannot be reduced.

Thanks, dov! I had expected additional differences, so this makes it very easy to remember.

Thanks PSGarak! It’s been sitting just under UNTHINKABLE for a couple of weeks now, but if Time the Healer only drops it by a couple of change points each week then it’s time to dust off the address book and ask some friends to vouch for me
I could help if you drop me a line. There is also going to church at your lodgings. Oh, and mind you, going to the Tomb Colonies is not that bad - you can obtain several favors and a tomb lion to breed. As long as you don’t mind halving either austere or hedonist, it is an interesting diversion.

This is effective on average, but risky, especially if you’re right close to UNTHINKABLE already. There’s a small chance to gain Scandal instead of lose it. I think the gain is only 1cp, but it’s given me an involuntary vacation at least once.
You are right that the Tomb-Colonies aren’t so bad. I’ve dealt with Scandal before by just getting over there and getting it done with rather than tiptoeing around every time some society lady might faint at my perfectly reasonable adventures. It’s the unplanned visits that I mind, because they’re always in the middle of something exciting.
…and when you are nearly full of Tomb Colonist favors!
I’ve had consistently terrible luck with church services at my lodgings. So much so that I stopped using it. Tended to burn through actions to get a minor reduction at best. Didn’t seem to work out at the stated 70/30.

Thank you for sharing, this is much better than church services. I didn’t expect that choosing the same philosophy was an option on ‘associate yourself with a different philosophy’. It feels a bit like cancelling your subscription to a service only to get the presents for new subscribers.
