How do I get "Embroiled in the wars of Illusion"? I have "Survivor of the affair of the box" where I sold it long ago, I think, does it lock me out? And if I just recently made POSI, what's better to get first - 4-cards address or 3-tier profession?
EitWoI - just grind investigating and seeking in flit, it's gained on rare successes. Not sure if it's on all actions that grant seeking/investigating there, but I think I can confirm it on the first and last ones (i.e. not the middle one). After a few of those you unlock the storylet that increases it enough to unlock work with bats+cats. Those will unlock the next step. Then you need to buy access to Mahogany hall (using "Open a way to other parts of the City" in your lodgings). Then do the things you can do in Mahogany hall.
One of the things that will happen in Mahogany hall is continuation of the box story. It's indepenent of the illusionary wars, even.
I think getting 4card address is much easier/cheaper/faster than 3-tier proffession. Proffesion requires notability, which builds on all the grinds that give extended inventory with +BDR, and buying many expensive equipments. 4card address is just a few days particularly thieving in flit.

No, it does not lock you out. You can get "Embroiled in the wars of Illusion" in the Flit by getting rare success (not very rare really) on several "seeking..." and "investigating..."-related storylets. Check wiki for specifics.
Depends on your current lodgings and profession - I'd say lodgings, as high-tier lodgings provide opportunity cards of high value. And you getting a profession upgrade is not something you can (well, you can, but shouldn't) rush - you need to get "An unsigned message" card with Notability 5+ (or get Notability to 12 and force draw it).

Thank you, guys! I don't have seeking/investigating options in Flit, I think I need Name whispered in darkness 6 for that? (I have it at 5 now) I need to do heists to raise it, right?
I actually already have Notability 4, BDR gear of 14 and I'm 5 levels of Bohemian away from setting up a salon to grind waves if I need, which is why I even started to consider going for 3 tier profession. But I think you're right, it's easier to get lodgings first.
also, I already have a route to Mahogany Hall, is Pygmalion grind worth it or i should ignore it for now? thanks again, sorry for a lot of questions.

Pygamlion doesn't provide anything special, but it is the best source of Brass and Glim in the game. Not that there is much of a demand for these currencies. They still pale in comparison to other late game grinding value wise.

What do you mean 12 Notability to force draw it? I searched my lodgings and wiki and couldn't find anything about it.

You can get a point of Favourable Circumstances in your lodgings (under write letters) for seven Notability. Then you use it to "Await an Unsigned Letter". Five more Notability is needed to upgrade profession. Or you can start with 8 Not. (to have at least 1 Not. after you ecxhange it for Favourable Circumstance) and then rebuild it to 5.

That's under Write letters in your Lodgings
If you have a Favourable Circumstance you can force draw some cards. You get a FC by either spending 7 Notability or 8 Fate. So 7 Notability and the 5 you need to upgrade your profession is 12 Notability.

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.

Oh, thank you both!
I know about FC, but had no idea it can be used for An unsigned message card! Cheers!

Can I use my Heart's Desire ambition to get thrown out of court *without* doing all the Persuasive grinding?
I'm already grinding twenty-seven symphonies, I'd rather not grind Fascinating as well as Inspired.

Yeah. You just have to perform certain masterpiece at Court instead of Veilgarden. More info here:

I don't know. it really depends on what is tracker-locked in the end. [that said, if you can make symphonies, you should already be able to be thrown out of court, with or without fascinating grinding. You'll need to grind inspired either way, though.]

Well, I keep *not* being able to get thrown out because I haven't made my name sufficiently, so I was wondering if there was a shortcut.

Aside from cards, what is the best way of gaining first few levels of Austere in London? I don't need it higher than 4

Out of curiosity, I've seen the quality All Shall Be Well...But Not Always floating around. Anyone know what that is? Or the Seeing Visions of London or whatever it was?

Lady of Cold Steel, Lady of the Flit, Lady Alyssana Grey. A formidable woman, hard to read and slow to trust. Darkness lurks inside her.
Alts: (please direct all inquiries to Alys & say who they're for)
-Nikki, the Playful Daredevil, leading the constables on merry chases across London at every available opportunity. It's not a good robbery if you didn't get chased~
-Shylarah, waifish, wide-eyed, painfully foreign, entirely untamed. Her search for a way home now leads her to Parabola. There's something about her...
-Dr. Maxwell Thomas, a kindhearted physician who can't stand to see suffering. Moral to a fault, even to his own detriment. Unlucky in love.
I would rather be taken for a fool than deny aid where it is needed.
-Angie, the Cheeky Sharpshooter. Got her start with the Regiment and proudly operated their cannon for years. Rowdy, rough, and among the best shots in London.

All Shall be Well is from a choice in Flint (and maybe the Seven Day Reign?) - it basically determines how steep the consequences for somethings will be. Vision around London is from Cut with Moonlight, which in my opinion is also worth a play!

Anyone knows the chance of rare success for Wine-tasting at Summerset? Seems that the text is elusive!
EDIT: I'm working on getting all of the success text, but can someone PM with the results of The library roof's option Report them to the Constables? Wiki claims that I loose all my Revolutionaries connections which seems a bit to much!
