I've made a dreadful mistake of cashing out my poor beloved Zee
Clipper and gambling with Mr Apples before insuring that I've a ready source of Romantic Notions for comprehensive bribes. I've lost twice this far! I was also very very unpleasantly surprised that I lost my explorer quality, which I had gotten up to 8.
Any advice on how best to acquire Honey or Romantic Notions in a Non-Persuasive fashion? I'd prefer Watchful or Shadowy as those are a full 30 points below my nearly 200 Persuasive. I'd really prefer not to cap that out since I've still some work to do in the Court, for example. I can ship myself out to Polytheme but it'll be via the tramp steam and I'd rather not.

You may take a steamer to Polythreme and watch the local tables and kettles being in love up to the moment you gather enough notions for atleast 5 comprehensive bribes or until you simply go mad.

Should you be inclined to add an additional element of gambling to the mix, and have no compunctions about some of the actions along the way (such as trading souls), the Case of the Fidgeting Writer is a source of Comprehensive Bribes. You must reach the stage of the Black Lens.

An Explorer of the Unterzee is a quality that just tracks whether or not you have a ship; the only known value for it is "The Captain!" I believe you're thinking of An Experienced Zailor when you refer to raising it to eight.
Not really sure how to get honey or romantic notions best though. My persuasive is by far my lowest stat so I get those via unfinished business.

... go mad may be the problem. It would definitely work alright! Lurk in the Eaves is actually better though (12 vs. 8) and it would grind shadowy.

Oh thank you! I do think you're right. That's reassuring, since in giving up the Zee clipper I've lost its cards from the deck.

Paying is sound tempting - let me go do the math...oh wait, look, 1000 honey?
... that said, I got it! I had just enough honey to get the 300 currently before restarting the full grind, and it paid off  Thank you all for your help!
