Just out of curiosity, how many Favors does it cost to side with the Urchins in the conflict card?

Well, A mission from the Cheesemonger (level 4 Cheesemonger agent), ended up in me tipping off the ship's captain, but got me a Dock favor.
EDIT: Thanks to Parellefor pointing an error.
Seems that this card trades 1 CP of An Agent of the Cheesemonger for 1 Dock favor.

If it has not changed from the last time I found mention of it, you lose one favor docks- and gain basically nothing for it, at least last i found mention of it. (the payout is the same as a standard conflict card, in other words.) until they add urchins to the favors system, it looks pretty likely that it's in most people's best interest to favor docks every single time.

Explain here for a second: Is that Docks Favours 4 to Favours 3 or Docks Renown 4 to Renown 3 (or something else? It's been a very long time since I did the Cheesemonger case). Because that's about the first time I've heard of Renown decreasing.

Favours are incremental by the way: You go from 1 - 2 - 3 - 4: there aren't change points for them.

Oh, sorry, it seems an error found its way though; thanks for pointing!
I got a decrease in An Agent of the Cheesemonger quality. It looked like it dropped all the way to 3, but I got another card and got it back to 4. So probably, in this case, 1 CP of Agent of the Cheesemonger gains you one Dock favor.

Working for the Cheery Man and selecting Dealing with the Last Constable, once and for all (Family and Law 3) will grant 1 Criminal and 1 Dock favors, not connection increase.

Throwing the Amanuensis out on his oily little ear gives 1 Docks Favour, among all its other effects. Actually might become a rather interesting way to change one set of Favours into another, if only it didn't involve losing a 30-echo item and the very rare Masters connection.

Also, favoring the urchins on the conflict card still gives 50 Silk and 30 CP of Urchins -- which is worth 5 certifiable scrap. It takes a little longer than it used to and isn't as fast for scrap as higher-tier lodgings, but given how long it takes to grind scrap and how sources of Urchins connection are relatively unprofitable, I'd say this is still worth it.

Galatea trade rumors now gives docks again.

Maintaining a controlling interest in my soul requires a pretty constant negotiation between the various shareholder interests. Thankfully the Fingerkings 23% control makes a pretty good foil to unite the other factions enough to get to 51%.

I can confirm the lack of Docks Favour for the Ratcatcher reward. I was hopeful that it was going to change since you're actually got to use a Favour to gain the profession in the first place.

What will you do with your Taciturn Mynah" now has a new option "teach her to listen" which requires "Favours the Docks". Text: "The things she may hear on the Docks! The things people will do for you if you promise to keep their secrets."

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this above. I've been trying to keep track of this thread, but it's quite long by now.

Selling a Soothe & Cooper Long-Box (under "Aspiring Zee-Captains" at the docks) provides 3 x Favours: The Docks (+50 echoes).

Not really grindable, but if you stock up on long-boxes during Christmas this could be a good source for emergency Favours: The Docks later in the year.

Thank you.
You can see the summarize on what is and what isn't at the first page =)
Thank you, Dov. Edited.

Last three or four times the reward has been items; I will update if I get a different result.

The Docks card option for siding with them in the Blemmigan Affair does not give a Favour to replace to removed Connected gain.

I'm sorry, but due to policy clarifications, I will no longer be giving detailed mechanics advice on the forums.

Huh, weird - I've only seen it once so far, so I don't have a good statistical sampling, but it was a favor the one time.

The MW vs. Favours is when buying a round at the Rusty Trump.
Though after the first day I have only encountered the Favours option - making me believe the MW success is not applicable anymore.
What "items" are you talking about? Are we speaking on the same card/option?
