Weekly Fallen London Questions, 28/10/2024

Happy Halloweek! Here’s this week’s thread for any quick Fallen London questions you seek answers to.

Will the SMEN cards be deleted after I moved to a menace location?

I mean the cards in my opportunity deck

Do you mean the black bordered cards? They disappear only if you drop your Unaccountably Peckish below the threshold of the individual card. Or if you use the card, but then you will inevitably draw it again.

Yes,but I want to maintain my Unaccountably Peckish quality at 6 until next week, so I can reach SMEN level 6 without damaging other qualities. If the cards can’t be deleted by moving to a menace location, then I won’t risk visiting the Tomb-Colonies for advantages with three black-bordered cards in my hand. I will just wait another week.

All safe!
Every card is tied to a location and you can’t carry them around. Even cards that have same requirement (Sancta Wings for example), are each restricted to a location.

Your trip to the colonies won’t be affected by UP cards… … … :slight_smile: just carry on!

I misunderstood your question.
As skinnyman said, all locations outside London have their own cards (if they have an opportunity deck) and the cards drawn with Unaccountably Peckish are exclusive to London.

Wow this is a good news! Thanks! But I will put off my travel until next week in case more UP cards appear again:)

Hallowmas question – I can’t find the option to “easily exchange masks” that’s supposed to appear when you’ve bought a permanent mask for 30 fate. I found it once and exchanged a mask and want to do that again but now the option’s gone. Did I misunderstand the option?

I think that option only shows up once for each time you’ve spent fate on another mask. So if you’ve already spent fate and picked another free mask with the exchange, you have to spend fate again to get another one of the free masks.

Only other option costs 10 Spirit of Hallowmas.

Edit: I see this listed on the wiki pages for purchasing the fate masks:
Game Instructions: This permanent version of the Hallowmas mask confers the same benefits, but will not become tattered after the end of the festival. You will also be able to pick up an additional mask for free, allowing you to more easily switch between masks.

It only says “an additional mask for free” not multiple. Keep in mind, you can only have one of the free masks at a time, so when they say “easily switch between masks” it means you now have multiple masks in your inventory that you can switch between and not that you can keep exchanging a mask for one you don’t have.

That makes sense, although I could have sworn I was able to switch twice. Thanks!
