Here's this week's thread for short questions and useful answers! I'll start us off with an example question: "what is something you want to know about Fallen London's story and/or mechanics?" (I'm helping!)

I like the Pickpocket's Promenade within the Alleys of Spite as a Pre-POSI source of Sapphires; getting 20 Trophies reliably isn't too difficult, and you'll get 6 Sapphires plus a number of other jewels.

When you're failing half the time, of course it's going to be a pain. If you must grind, grind up some second chances, then trade them for 26 (on average) stat points- or find a patron, but tolerable ones are in short supply, and ones who'll remember to send you 5 invites a week in shorter supply.
The options on some of the cards, like tomb-colonists and dockers, trade a tiny number of Connection points, for ~10 CP in a relevant stat. in the ones named here, dangerous. be careful, though, some of the unlisted options take absurd numbers of CP for the payout, like society and great game.
Consider swapping to a more level appropriate grind, if you don't enjoy being half-dead all the time. Consider buying better gear, if you don't want to give up on the grind, or if you're in a hurry to get through the fate-locked section. Consider asking in the young turk's club for people to send you gifts of admiration- 2 second chances for each stat, and at no action cost to you- though perhaps a debt of honor to be repaid.
Do not spend second chances on the actions. that's just a waste at most levels, especially given how much higher your stats could stand to be.
Have you dueled everyone in the black ribbon except, perhaps, captain vendrick? have you done all the little side-stories along your dangerous way? your stats sound worryingly low for this area.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.

That was the item from the Waltz that moved the World. If you also have the items from Flint and the Art of Murder you gain access to another storylet.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

A connected pet is one you get through your connection to one of the Factions.
If you have that in your message tab you just need to visit Watchmaker's Hill and choose a pet. If you only have it in your inventory you already have a connected pet.
If you get rid of that pet, on its card, having the Clandestine Rendezvous means that you just need to visit Watchmaker's Hill to choose a new pet.

I find myself in a quandary. What is the protocol for unanswered social actions? My letterbox contains quite a few (which I am positive says nothing about me personally, I assure you). Delete after a decent interval? What is a decent interval? And I presume it means lost turns?
Thank you!
Meradine Heidenreich
As leaving them there indefinitely causes no harm to you and may provide a pleasant surprise to a character coming back from a hiatus, I generally recommend not deleting unanswered social actions. That said, if this is happening with enough regularity to bother you, perhaps consider cleaning out your contacts? Removing players who are inactive or rarely participate in FL's social aspects can generally minimize this problem.
As for lost turns, deleting an action doesn't use any additional turns but you will not get back the ones you spent sending the invitation.
Yrs, etc.

So I started that living story at the Feast of the Exceptional Rose, the new one you know, but nothing has happened so far. Do any of you know when I'll hear about it again or if I was too late?
I don't believe anyone has yet - I certainly haven't.

Is there a way to read the note accompanying a social action after I've accepted it?
If you have email notifications enabled for social invitations, the note may be recorded there!
