Hello there, fellow Londoners. I am a bit stuck. Since I find favor-collecting incredibly tedious, I thought to increase some of my connections as high as they get before any sudden conversions occur. Society and the Bohemians can be done at the Shuttered Palace, while increasing the Duchess at the same time. However, I see no such avenue for increasing Hell, Revolutionaries and the Great Game.
Now, Jolanda is soft-hearted and a Shepherd of Souls, so maybe this is holding me back a bit. For the Great Game, I have the bat companion and sometimes I side with the spies on the Great Game/Chruch conflict card. For the devils, I only have their faction card. As for the Revolutionaries, I am stuck at 20. How do you even raise this connection? Am I missing some storylets or are they simply very tough to grind?
Thank you in advance!

For hell you can exchanging casing in the flit, for revs you can do public lectures in the forgotten quarter, for GG...you just kinda cry and draw cards.

If I may ask, what card at ladybones raises connected the great game? I've been having to rely exclusively on the church conflict card.
These two lovely cards. Don't think it's such a big rush as I got to 287 using only the Wry Functionary from visit (offers best EPA if you just chose to increase the level; convert CC to diamonds), Church CC, Sulky bat card and less important are the Nadir and Steamer cards.
I chose to draw cards in the Flit (lovely card there) and I have the Dock pet (lovely EPA there as well)!

421 is probably a safe bet. 471 if you're paranoid or just want to be absolutely sure.
Urchins were 371, and they were harder to grind.

Aside from conflict cards, cards are often worse than storylets for hell. It's an 8 action 90 cp cycle (11.15 cp per action) to turn in casing if you have a gang of hoodlums, which is better than the faction card (10 cp).

My Great Game is at 785. (It's my favorite connection.)

Posted this many times, but I only bookmarked the redding page, sorry, so here's a nice link with connection grinds (all of them). In the same thread you find my strategy for Shepherd echo grinds. Basically is about chaining multiple grinds and cards which, in the end, have a great EPA!
The result is that after less than 10 months (and only 5 or 6 with sub) I got my ubergoat w/o doing echo grinds! I only did a few heists after the new Renown items to be able to increase my level.

Just out of curiousity what's the highest great game anyone's seen?
My level is 284 and started grinding it (only cards) after unlocking Wilmot's End Route and no Numix grinds. Estelle I know has very high (insane?) connections with all factions as well! 
EDIT: Aha, found it! That post was one of the inspiration for my big achievement list and the push to start checking for connection grinds. Unfortunately, I already locked many of them at that time!

Do you remember how many CP this gives?
It's a 50/50 chance for 25 CP (for > 12 actions). So while it's semi-reliable it's not very efficient.
That's worse than A furtive duo in Ladybones Road, but at least it's not Air dependent.
