Hey guys! I am a pretty new player and I'm having a bit of trouble. I keep trying to increase my society connections (I currently have 1), but all the tips that the game gives you (go to Mrs. Plenty's Carnival, the Empress's Court, or the Shuttered Palace) I either don't have access to or can't do anything because my society connections are too low; for example, I have the Carnival and the Shuttered Palace unlocked, but all the options there require having at least x society connection to begin with. I also bought an entry in Slowcake's Exceptionals, not realizing that I can't actually do anything with it until I have at least 10 society connections.
So, are there any tips for how to increase this connection without doing any of the above? Any opportunity cards or storylets I should look out for? Thanks, any help would be really appreciated!

The carnival is the place to start. It doesn't require any amount of connection to open, it locks with certain amount of connection. Do you have carnival tickets? I, once, tried to figure out what is wrong for a day until I realized I am out of carnival tickets. The shuttered palace doesn't require any connection to open as far as I remember. You will need to use a day at duchess' salon storylet.

If you have made a name using the short story, you can use
"Charm an influential social butterfly" to grind Society CP

Okay, great! I guess I'll persevere in the literary storylines after all and focus on getting my persuasive skills up. Thanks for the help, everybody!

There should be a storylet in the Veilgarden with a milliner, which allows you to grind silk and society. It's "The Seamstress' Favour." That's particularly useful because there are just no sources of silk for low-level players.
"Getting in With the Servants" will also give Society, and I believe you can hit Slowcake's as often as you like to get Society.
You will have to do a lot of "literary" things to continue Making Your Name in the Persuasive stat, sorry.

As a new player, your Society connection is, if not unimportant, not very important. It is only when you begin to approach PoSI that you need to start worrying about it. As a new player, you're better off, IMO, burning any Society connection doing Suspicious Loitering, which will give you Shadowy Second Chances that you can use to build your Shadowy stat.

Thank you for the advice! My shadowy quality is actually pretty decent at the moment, the main reason I am asking is because I've been neglecting the society connection for long enough that it's lagging behind all my other ones and I need it for certain stories that I am trying to pursue, so I'd like to try to begin the process of building it up. I just don't really know any good places to start!
