One that i keep running into is at the bookshop lodgings. idk what it does, but that's one use. Haven't seen any others, but i've never bought the story.

Fate-locked content is a Forbidden Subject on the forums, wraith, but as Grenem said there is at least one option that involves the watch.

I don't think so, nothing untoward was said.

I've always considered the forbidden content thing as more of a "don't give out the plot points" sort of thing, along with anything else that you think should be secret. But the rules been left rather vague, and seems to have been loosened with exceptional stories

My understanding is that anything you can see without fate isn't forbidden, so what i said is valid- as are any other such statements to where the locks are, assuming they don't require the timepeice to even be visibile.

Also, you can pm someone for info, but you need someone who's actually seen it. Can someone who's used the sheperd's timepeice post such, just so that wraith has someone to PM for further info?

I think the topic is fine as long as we don't go into the text itself.

[spoiler]Anyway, there are several options that are located primarily in the beginning of the game that you might very well be beyond right now, but the main thing you get is a card where you can donate souls/contracts and be an exceptionally nice individual.

I would also recommend becoming an Exceptional Friend someday so you can check out the stories in the House of Chimes (it is related, I assure you), and if you do that then the Fate-locked story with the Bishop of Southwark will have a little option for you while you're going through that story.[/spoiler]

If we are allowed to talk specifically about fate-locked stories and/or items, it must be in spoiler tags. Here is where that often is. Besides the Bishop, the Bookstore and the House of Chimes' Regretful Soldier (he offers an option for either Soul Trade path) options, there are Soul Trade options in the University First carousel (before setting up your own Department) as well as the ragged Mendicant and (again for both paths) fate-locked Getting your Soul back storyette. The previous link from Sara contains them all.


As noted, your goal as a Shepard, is mainly to collect souls and to "return them" with infernal contracts for a big boost in connection/menace reduction or ten times the normal amount for removal of all menaces from a card you draw. (Sprifters get a storyette on Ladybones Road instead and sell souls for profit.)

Pretty sure it's standard rarity. But I've never really had trouble drawing it when needed. Not positive though, as I don't have it in my hand.

I'll accept any actions, except loitering and Affluent Photographer (will accept dupes).

Standard last I saw, but I am a Sprifter with my character who has the story.
