Hm, good to know. I’m pretty sure I can crack 300 watchful with my max-W outfit, but yeah, my current front is persuasive, respectable and glasswork. By using the latter two I have full coverage for the day at 100% pass.
[quote=Scona]Anyone else got a problem with the outfit-locked area in Khanate ? My BDR (in that case: respectible) bonus is much lower then what it should be from my equipment[/quote]I haven’t noticed any problem, just that the levels on the R checks are fairly high. But with 20 I can pass them all.
Sailing with the currents from the Khanate back to London will take you through the Pillared Sea. Irem itself is not unlocked for me, though. Don’t think there is anything there at this time.
[quote=Aro Saren][quote=Waterpls]I am using 12 Glasswork + 19 Respectable outfit and it’s 100% all checks in the carousel.[/quote]Thank you for reporting - now they’ll nerf this oversight next week.[/quote]This is intentional, I think - Bruno said on Discord that it should be possible to 100% everything with two carefully-chosen stats at a high level.
Currently it’s possible to 100% everything in 3 different ways:
[ul][li]18 Respectable, 10 Glasswork/Mithridacy/KT[/li][li]18 Bizarre/Dreaded, 284 Watchful/Persuasive/Shadowy[/li][li]14 B/D/R, 284 Watchful/Persuasive/Shadowy, 10 Glasswork/Mithridacy/KT

I certainly wish that the Repairer of Reputations had told me that before I chose which stats to use. I built the cover identity so that I would have all the options available to me, but still seem to have ended up with the worst option
I’m 1 watchful short of a 100% path… I suppose I’ll just deal with the 1% chance of failure on 4 checks, and refill obscurity with a few well-placed pawns every once in a while, seems easier than going back and getting a whole new cover identity. I’m expecting that we’ll get a watchful cap increase at some point so hopefully that’ll help, when it happens.
Really, I should have realized that I should have picked the BDR stat that matched my club. I can hit 18 Bizarre and 284 Watchful, depending on how long it’s been since I visited the Nadir

Yeah, I initially went persuasive/respectable/mithridacy, but tore it down for my current build after I realized what a bad option my intial route was for me. edited by Kaunisenkeli on 6/27/2021
I’m rolling with 19 Respectable, 11 Glasswork and 12 Player of Chess. In addition to the infiltration carousel, this gives me a 100% win rate at shatar, which comes in handy for hunting these damnable dream-pearls.
Bit odd that you can just completely trivialize the need to manage Taimen’s Attention and Obfuscation. I made a quick n dirty cover identity for this but now that I’ve figured out the mechanics I don’t really see any need to change it for something more robust. edited by NotaWalrus on 6/28/2021
Yes, I thought the same. It seems those are almost completely irrelevant for endgame players and it hardly appears intentional. I understand that some of the challenges get harder as Taimen’s attention increases, but not all, and it’s very easy to take it entirely out of the equation for intrigues.
I rather expect them to change that, which is why I plan to quickly wring everything out of Khan’s Heart that I can now that it’s still easy.
I hope I’ll be able to finish the Infiltrator’s intrigue by that point. It’s the last planned thing left for me currently, but the goal value is a real drag.
I’ve got the footsteps, big network, did a cable tap… came back to London now to complete twilight smuggler and weekly business, but plan to head back over for a second gant-box and other sundries ASAP.
