Perhaps a brief thing on the temple club/parabolan kitten? A lot of new players don't know they exist.

Perhaps with caveats that these are spoiler happy and reveal things which are perhaps found out on your own, here are some useful threads on Favours and Renown
- Docks Favours: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic21908-a-way-to-gain-favours-docks.aspx - TC: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic21981-tomb-colonist-favoursrenown-gain--uses.aspx - Urchins: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic23856-urchins-favoursrenown.aspx
I’m unable to find player made compilations for either Criminals or Rubbery, though I feel like they existed. Rubbery: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic22675-whats-the-best-way-to-farm-renown-rubbery-men.aspx That one is short, but really has all of what is needed for Rubbery Favours.
Criminal: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic20433-favours-and-renown-criminals.aspx
Here is an excellent Nadir guide, but SPOILERS (I miss the_truthseeker! We started around the same time and I haven’t seen them in a while) http://community.failbettergames.com/topic21384-opportunities-in-the-cave-of-the-nadir.aspx

The current destiny guide that's linked doesn't work well. Most attempts to click on the links in the google doc leads to a "not enough parameters" error page.

Not a guide, but here's something that can be useful/helpful to others:
Have you ever wanted to know how many CP you already have towards your next Making Waves level? I've created a (silly) way to quickly check this. No extension is needed - just a bookmark:
Create a new bookmark in your browser (tested in Chrome), and edit it so that instead of a URL it has the following text:
[spoiler] javascript: (function() { alert( "Making Waves is " + document.getElementById("infoBarQLevel545").innerHTML + " and " + (parseFloat(document.getElementById("infoBarQLevel545").innerHTML) + 1) * (parseFloat(document.getElementById("infoBarQBar545").getAttribute("width")) / 100.0) + " CP" ) })(); [/spoiler]
This can also obviously be easily adapted to support other qualities as well.
I can't guarantee that this will always work, and my javascript skills are practically non-existent. So feel free to improve.
Please notice:
- I haven't tried to round the CP value to the nearest integer.
- This won't work for MW over 50
- Make sure you refresh the page before calling this bookmark. It gets the values from the sidebar.

That's pretty genius. But for whatever reason the span containing the current making waves level already has a space, so adding an extra space before " and " results in a double-space. Also you can use Math.round() to get an int. So that would be: //... "and " + Math.round((parseFloat(/*...*/) + 1) * (parseFloat(/*...*/) / 100.0)) + //... edited by Dudebro Pyro on 9/7/2017

What the hell, I've upgraded this bookmark javascript code.
It now prints:
- BDR
- Notability
- Making Waves
- Making Waves CP towards next level
- Making Waves level needed for next Notability.
It also handles Making Waves over 50 (in case anyone needs that).
As before, just save this as a bookmark, and don't forget to reload the page before calling this, as this relied on the sidebar info.
Enjoy and feel free to improve!

Is there one on Ambitions any where? Not an entire storyline but tips and tricks for individual options and/or grinds?
-- Main, Phiri Ulfur, the Cunning Shadow. Their heart belongs to a Pirate-Poet across the Zee. Alt Vermillion Liminate, the Tragic Scholar. Alt #2,Lady Jacqueline Blackwood, the Savage Beauty. Alt #3, Veracity Taylor, the Dame of the Docks. The Dogged Seeker, self explanatory.
I will accept any social actions on Fallen London(unless its a box of live rats. I already got rid of the d---ned things once and am not eager to repeat the endeavor).

Eventually you will need to become a person of some importance to finish the ambition. Lets just say there is a place in the ambition that requires a ship and components that only people of some importance may gain.

For some reason, the forum coding gets rid of some necessary semicolons. Copy/paste this into notepad, and add a semicolon at the end of each of the "var" lines in the top section (after the quote). You can then paste from there into the bookmark URL line
