Are you asking what happens if you finish one Ambition, could you then start another? Currently none of the Ambitions storylines are finished, so it's a purely academic question. FBG may not have even made up their minds about that yet.

I came across it today in a ratly context and wasn't sure either.

So, I've been away for a while, and I noticed that here has been an effort to restrict many storylets not by stat progression, but rather by various qualities that change based on your story progression, so that you don't miss out on generic but nevertheless precious storylets and opportunities by grinding your stats carelessly (or even actual complete stories).

Has this effort been "completed"? I know that some things still have a max stat check (like various faction cards that trade stats for favors, which change "form" depending on your stats), but I'm not particularly bothered by those.

Edit:

Ambitious wrote:
So, for the 4 ambitions it says "You Unlocked this by not having [Another Ambition]." Obviously, this shows you can only have 1 Ambition at a time. However, in reading on the wiki, I've found that the Ambition Quality never leaves you, and simply levels to the maximum, such as 200 in Hearts Desire. Does this mean you're unable to start any of the other Ambitions?



You can use a 50 fate option to reset your current ambition, but you might wanna wait on that, since as said before, none of them are really finished yet.

It was finished a while ago, there probably won't be any new changes other than if new content comes out and requires something related to this.

Can you not send someone a rat of glory if they already possess one?

You can only accept a rat when you don't posses one.

Although, on the wiki I've found some that do have a max stat check, mostly in the area 69-101 or something like that. Is this outdated information, or what was said is only true for the low-level stuff?

That info is update and yes, it is for the lower levels. I remember staying around Dangerous 110 to get the THiO and RB cards just to increase the respective qualities. Was nice to do so, but the Renown conversion forced me to start increasing Dangerous (and other skills).
I want to point on a very useful card which gets locked as you advance with your Dangerous profession; it's An evening's zailing which offers 2500 glim and a Dock Favour at the cost of 3 AP. Even if you get all of your supplies via this card you still get a nice profit! There's the Wilmot's End card which offers another possibility to increase GG connections (which is a bit hard) and many other nice cards. I sometimes image that I'll ruin my stats just to be able to enjoy those stories again, but I think a Seeking alt would be better! Big Grin
My advice is not to rush to the end of a story just to have it done! I'm 40 weeks old and I have a lot of unfinished stories (even ES). It's nice to sit, relax, enjoy every bit and have a list of weird achievements! Big Grin

I need to gain access to Wilmot's end to access certain things for storylets. My stats are: Watchful - 109, Shadowy - 84, Dangerous - 84 and Persuasive - 84 without items added. With items added: Watchful - 142, Shadowy - 108, Dangerous - 113 and Persuasive - 103. I have no idea how to gain access to Wilmot's end...

You have a 110 Shadowy card which requires Connected to the Great Game 1 (this card is great for grinding this connection), PoSI and Shadowy 110 speak with the Urchin to unlock new stories (or Speak to the Bohemian Sculptress) or after becoming a Diplomat in the Making, but this last option is expensive.
Here's the list if you want to explore more, but, as I mentioned, remember that will lock you from another (from a few) GG grinding cards.

First, get your Shadowy to 110.

Then, either wait for an opportunity card, or - if you're already a POSI - go and ask either your Urchin or Bohemian Sculptress neighbors about the Route to Wilmot's End.

So how do I get this card after I have shadowy 110?

Ensure you have at least one point of Connected: The Great Game and then wait patiently...

It wouldn't hurt to make some ceremonial sacrifices to the RNG gods.

No one knows, but if I should hazard a guess, I'd say tomorrow. In recent years it used to snow four times in December, and if they start tomorrow it would work out perfectly for everyone.

I started a Shrine expedition with exactly twenty supplies, and got 3 Archeological progress right off the bat.

Is this normal? Because if so that's how I'm doing all my expeditions from now on.
