I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien
Persuasive patron. You want a lesson, send me a message asking for one.

I'd recommend organizing it a bit:
- Seasonal ventures (include Destiny)
- Notablity/Making Waves
- Fate/Subscriptions
- Add a section on the Favours/Reknown?

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
An addition: Maxing out Watchful for Courier's Footprint -

I made a spreadsheet to help people track & manage their progress and to help with notability calculations: here's the thread.

I'm happy to accept most social actions except for lethal sparring and loitering suspiciously. Please challenge my plant! Currently not accepting calling cards.

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.
