  • Find a way to reconnect with the Once-Dashing Smuggler. Oh please oh please.

This is I believe possible in the Tomb-Colonies, at least it was for me earlier today…[/quote]

Sorry! I should have been clear and said I’m hoping to reconnect with him in a more permanent way. I’ve always held a soft spot for him since his storylet and would be more than happy to drop money to get him as a companion or even a spouse.

Probably not my greatest all-time, but the current objective is to achieve Paramount Presence.

As of a few hours ago, I can confirm that (unless I’ve missed a storylet) it’s not available through some combination of maxed stats, Notability 15, zeroed-out Menaces, Uniquely Larcenous, Feared Duellist and/or various other things. I had hopes for the notability-stats-menaces combination, but no…

I was under the impression that the content for PP did not yet exist.
Although when it is, I hope I shall be ready-- I am within a day of grinding up my last two stats to 200.

(And if I never see another bloody velocipede again, it will be too soon.)

A few goals of mine in no particular order:

  • Defeat Mr. Iron at his own game (in the Iron League).
  • Collect 50 fabulous diamonds to see if there is a higher diamond conversion tier out there.
  • Raise Reputation Abomination high enough for someone to scrawl &quotMonster&quot on my door.
  • Get married at St. Fiacre’s with notability 15 to see if notability 17 is possible.
  • Seek Mr Eaten’s Name including the candles, the tattoo, sailing NORTH, amassing enigmas and tier 8 conversion items, hithes trithes that sort of business.
  • Obtain 7 of every possible item, including the impossible to obtain by ordinary means such as rubbery associates and conspirators, Jilt’s treasures, false leads and so on. I like to call this 700% completion.
  • Get lucky with the rare success on converting Bombazine to Damask.
  • Regain my stats and resist the urge to lose them again.
  • Gain a parabola base camp then delve deep enough into parabola to see my destiny come to pass.
  • Piracy with the Set at Zee
  • Craft a dress out of veils-velvet
  • Rats rats rats rats rats rats rats

I’m guessing its some challenge that would involve all the stats, but for the life of me I can’t think of it. These are great responses! I’d also like to add:[/li][li] I’d like an Impossible Theorem and a Rumormonger’s Network, then someday (maybe not literally) combine them. I’ll calll it, the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm.
[/li][li]I like many others am grinding up SoTC. But once I hit 16, I’m pretty much unable to get to 18 (Igneate Eye) without getting Overgoat(s), so that’s where it’s going after the River trips. Not bothering trying to hope for moods. Thats just never going to happen. [/li]

I’m thinking short term right now, so I just want 20ish Whirring Contraptions, do interesting things with my (hopefully soon to be acquired Zubmarine) and to never play The Game in Wilmot’s End for as long as I live once that’s done.[li]

Well, I’ve now received the Little Omen card (first time in more than a year of intensive play), so I’m tempted to go after the really high level of SoTC.

However, by my calculations (and with the help of the wiki), to get my Watchful to the 300 needed to advance SoTC above 20 (I currently can raise it to 250) I’ll need one of these two options:

[ul][li]An Ubergoat[/li][li]An Overgoat, plus change my profession to either a Monster-Hunter or a Correspondent (for the +12 Watchful weapon).[/li][/ul]Both options are obviously very expensive and time consuming (not to mention the high high cost of materials when raising SoTC).

So for now, I’m making progress on the Overgoat and will have to decide which grind to follow it up with.
The sad part is that until this goal is reached, in order to keep the Little Omen card I can’t go to the Nadir… :-(

(a quick calculation in a spreadsheet shows that if I sell everything I own to the Bazaar I can afford 2 and a half Overgoats, but this includes many really rare items that I simply won’t sell).

By the way: Does anyone know whether SoTC 22 is possible via the University route, or does it block at 21 (as the wiki suggests)? With an Ubergoat and the Mood, Watchful 310 is a possibility).

28

My main focus and desire is obtaining the hesperidean cider. 160,000 echoes is rather difficult to get however. At this poit im at 16000. Just 9 more times. Somewhere along the lines id like to pick up an overgoat too.

I am currently investigating the Unterzee, it hold endless fascination for me. When I can back from the Zee travels, I suppose I want to get better lodging and grind to Midnighter.[li]
