In case you don’t have it yet, petitioning the Dean for a new experiment and finishing the research with the expensive option (make up its origin) gave me this result 2 out of 2 so far.
So I still have to do the part about buying a crapload of knives anyway?
I love my new lab! Thanks for all the new content, FB!!!

Edit: Pretty sure I’m going to need a Holy Relic of the Thigh of Saint Fiacre.

I only did the cheapest option, so I didn’t know. Thanks for telling me! Will get to it as soon as I’m back from Parabola.
Edit: Yes, got 6 Preserved Surface Blooms for 1 Holy Relic of the Thigh of Saint Fiacre, so going to need 2 Relics total to get 100 Perfumed Gunpowders.

You do unfortunately.
I’ll take a screenshot the next time I’m in my lab. The following link has the result.

I think you just ruined my April.
Which card is it that gave the surface blooms and what are its exact requirements? I reduced all my BDR to zero now and I’m getting three cards, one from having no Suspicion, one from no Dreaded and one with no requirements. It’s refusing to draw any more even though there’s space for 2 more, and discarding them just draws the exact same three again. Nothing is appearing with a zero Respectable requirement.
EDIT: Nevermind, remembered raising Monstrous Anatomy is part of the hunt. Still hoping for hints about getting a sight of that Storm Bird.

The card is called A Familiar Bohemian Sculptress and can only be drawn by having exactly 0 Respectable. If you used the Possessed Goldfish, you just have to equip as much Respectable items as needed to get a total of 0 instead of minus something.

Well, 14 Shorthair aren’t bad either! :))

How do you acquire the relic she takes as payment? Concerned that since I have a permanent 2 Dreaded…
[quote=Hattington]How do you acquire the relic she takes as payment? Concerned that since I have a permanent 2 Dreaded…[/quote]From my understanding, you (me too) must do something in the Dome of Scales in Parabola and end up with possessed animals.
I have said animals actually, still figuring out which mix of BDR I need to get the relic that I apparently need to pay her with. Also, don’t suppose you know what I need to start hunting Storm Birds? Can’t find sighting anywhere, should I just raise Nightmares and roll cards?
You must raise Nightmares to 8 while in Parabola to see the Storm Bird. Nightmare raising equipment works just fine. Be warned that this will damage your Glasswork and Monstrosity.
There’s only one way to grind Katalepxicology, right? Unless there’s a good source of bone fragments, it’ll be fucking expensive.

I see this is getting confusing. You need the animals to get the right cards in the Bone Market. You get the relic this way: https://community.failbettergames.com/topic27856-your-own-lab-and-parabolan-base-camp.aspx?page=2#post246971#post246945
I wrote it earlier in this thread, you need to study a bone in the lab (gotten either from asking the Dean or from a 0 Dreaded card in the Bone Market) and take the expensive option (75/25 research).
Thanks you for the tip Kerim, having exactly 0 Respectable works.
Interestingly the Grandmother card requiring no Dreaded has the requirement worded in the same way (“you unlocked this by not having any…”), but does show up at negative Dreaded. Considering B/D/R doesn’t even show up as a stat you have when it’s negative, I consider this a bug.
So many options… So confusing… so many things… feels exactly like Fallen London. I have no idea what half of you are saying but I can’t wait to find out!
By the way, how do you increase/acquire Toxicology, Anatomy etc?

Glasswork - walking Parabola and dealing with Fingerkings at the Dome.
Monstrous Anatomy - repeatedly wound your Parabolan quarry at its lair.
Mithridacy - compose narratives in Waswood.
Red Science - currently only from April after calling on her IOU.
Toxicology - only known to me - eat parabolic fruit while wounded in your camp. Fruit is harvested from the tree in your camp.
