Here’s this week’s thread for Fallen London questions!
Do you ever need to go back to Winking Isle after your level is high enough? (I am so sick of this place.)
Is there a way to grind Counting The Days? Or is it entirely at the mercy of the cards/RNG?
[quote=Tintinnabulum]Is there a way to grind Counting The Days? Or is it entirely at the mercy of the cards/RNG?[/quote]It is possible to grind it without cards if you are close to either Bohemians or The Great Game.
Otherwise, feel free to check the wiki guide to find the alternative options.
Can confirm, managed to grind the Violin special Credit Mark item in less than a week since I was closest to the Game. You basically cycle from Wolfstack -> Forgotten Quarter -> Palace -> University, most of the options that move the Counting the Days forward being found in a storylet menu near the bottom of the location’s page. Once you find those spots and get into the routine it’s easy as pie really, so long as you don’t lose your soul and are a Master Thief of any degree. You will always have to wait for the Pennies From Heaven opportunity to happen and claim your reward though, that’s the only unreliable part of this system, an inevitable one I suppose.

It seems to be a fairly common card though, it tends to pop up rapidly when Caroline qualifies for it.
Best place to grind Appalling Secrets?
The simplest way is to upconvert Cryptic Clues. The Dropping the Eves storylet in The Flit is the best way I know of to get those.
And of course, you can eat into your Whispered Hints for more Clues in an easy fashion.
