London is indeed a city of legends. Her people are her stories. The good, the bad, and the normal are the soul of her life. A thousand strings, of blood, shadows, knowledge, and charm tie us all together. Even when London is gone, these stories will remain. The Bazaar has a name for the particularly legendary- Paramount Presences.

First came a city of gold, of copper, of light
Then a second of poisonous words and a poisoned bite.
The third who we remember in hunger, dust and sleep
The fourth lost to war and a promise to keep.

And so of a glorious city I offer you her jewels
For when the tides rise and the fifth is undone;
Keep the shadows of our words near your heart,
And let our endless glory live on in the fire of the stars and the sun.

How about writing a guide to PP?

99% of the work is about raising Notability, and (except for very specific tricks) it's covered by this excellent guide.

(Note that the guide isn't up to date with the very latest changes to Social Actions - i.e. dinners, coffee, chess, sparring, etc.).


An example of an advanced trick: since most significant MW boosts come from cards, drawing more cards is more important than using actions efficiently. So if you have Cider, you can spend 2 actions to die via Heart's Mirror and come back (3 actions if you need to cause yourself Wounds first), and this will quadruple the cards in your deck. So if you're an Exceptional Friend (can hold 10 cards), doing this when you have 3 cards in your deck will refill them to 10. Effectively, you're trading 2-3 actions (and 5 Carnival Tickets) for the ability to draw 7 extra cards.

If you have the Carnival Tickets, then you can draw up to 101 cards first thing in the morning (when your deck and action pool are full), before having to wait for anything. Some of these are bound to be those that give lots of MW (or items used for MW, such as Favours: Society).

I'm happy to report, as I promised long ago, that I may now put my name upon this list, after a set of strange and scandalous marriages.

I'd like to give thanks to these eminent Londoners that aided me, and to repeat my congratulations to those who came before, and those that will follow, on this list.

[spoiler]

Thanks to SlyBlue (known as Maxwell Bradford in universe), Paracelsus (Reinol Von Lorica), Tarmoerkale (The Timid Licentiate), and Addis Rook for their help in helping me achieve this height, and to many others.

[/spoiler]

Finally, I would like to speak to all of the FL community (and Failbetter). Three years ago, I began as a naive explorer of Fallen London. Along the way, I found a rich world and an even richer community. So, even when the future of London seems dark (literally and figuratively), as does our own world, I find an old phrase fits best:

"All shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well".
If not, we can make it that way.

Here's what Skinnyman, the author, prizes the most:
London's Blood 2 - Happy in love
London's Marrow 2 - Jewels in your crown
London's Nerves 1 - Starry wisdom
London's Sinew 1 - Delight in Death

[spoiler]The numbers for those interested:
Was at 8 Nota with no progress for PP, but had almost all requirements unlocked. In the first week after the announcement, 16 Orphanage invitations were sent and 3 mood cards discarded. This was to get to N15 and prepare to get the rest in less than 2 weeks so I won't miss any Nadir visit.
After TtH hit Friday, 24th, I bathe in Irrigo and started the 3 cycles. In the following days, 70 more Orphanage invitations were sent, 8 more mood cards discarded and 13 Bazaar auctions took place. smile

I've finished the long journey to Paramount Presence, with the help of all those who taught and told stories at my Orphanage. Trying to good in the world really does have its rewards, sometimes. My character is currently a Midnighter, but that may change in the near future.

Also, there's a slight error in the list. Dima Lazarev is listed twice because they posted a second time to record that, to obtain no candle, they no longer possess a profession. As of a couple weeks ago, they are also no longer in London, making them (I believe) the first publicly recorded Paramount Presence to depart for the NORTH permanently.

Padraig Cooper, Glassman, can now be considered a Paramount Presence.

An extremely active member of the Sanguine Ribbon Society, he attained fifty Sanguine Ribbons with the help of both friends and enemies. I would like to thank ZiggytheLion, Honeyaddict, and JaggedMallard for being reliable partners towards the end. No hard feelings for the number of times we sent each other to the boat.

London's Blood came from lodgings.

London's Marrow comes from criminal and lawful connections.

London's Nerves comes from achieving the Courier's Footprint.

With this out of the way, Padraig Cooper will now look towards matters of the heart, as well as attaining the highest possible renown among all of London's varied peoples. Thank you.

I'm going to be updating the list by fixing the now outdated profile links and adding certain flourishes to those on it based on mantelpiece and scrapbook items/qualities (to those with only their profession). Let me know if you'd like to be exempted or have your descriptors change. I'll try to do this by increments of ten.

Thank you to ixc for maintaining the thread! Made PP a week or two ago.

London's Blood 1 - Supreme in luxury

Just a couple of announcements/questions for all you delicious friends.

1: The most pressing: what would you like to do about the upcoming changes to Paramount Presence? Should the list continue on this thread, on the same post, or a new post? Or a whole new thread?

2: Related to the first: Once this change is made, I can change the descriptor of 'Member of the Ancient Regime' to something else.

3: Just to clarify, you don't need to post your London's Flesh qualities, but feel free to do so. In fact, if any of you would like, I can start including these under your listing.

4: At some point, I'm going to try and standardize the descriptors and what item/quality they match to, and somehow put it here for public knowledge. I'm not sure if I'll get around to it, but now that my first year of college is over and quarantine is here, I do have a lot of time.

Congratulations once again to those on this list, and those that will be, and good luck to all with Whitsun tomorrow! (Omelets, anyone?)

At last, I have become a Paramount Presence. "(1116 days ago) A stranger slipped you a note! ...but by the time you turn, they're already gone." The Correspondent profession seems to be the most popular. I believe that I've been a Patron in all four qualities. Is it now possible to be a Patron in any of them? My last quality to reach 215 was Shadowy and I became an Invisible Eminence. I would like to continue helping others. Best wishes to all! Jamit EDIT: I see that there are more options on dealings with patronage now. How wonderful!

    What way did you find it easiest to grind notability? The Tales of Terror method, since it's not locked by card-dependent Favors, or another one?

    Iirc side-converting is more efficient for grinding MW than Tales of Terror or Salon, but since it's a steady accumulation rather than a burst gain, the latter two methods can be better for the final Notability levels. Repeatedly getting married via the cheapest option that gives Notability is also apparently pretty good.

    Yeah, it's weird to suddenly start discarding things like the Gambling Den card, which I was eagerly playing any time it popped up for weeks, and now it's useless again...

    Some of my item stores have dwindled greatly, especially Influence items (Stolen Correspondence and Intriguing Snippets), Moon-Pearls, Diamonds, and Carnival Tickets (I've spent hundreds of those).

    Are you sure? According to my script its 3916 cp to get N15 and 1560 cp to get N12. So its like 22.5k cp (with 33 BDR and assuming that N4 is free)

    Quite sure.

    Remember that:
    1. With BDR 33 you don't need MW at all to get to Notability 5.
    2. When gaining Notability you're left with MW equal to your new Notability level.

    It's 1288 CP for Notability 12, and 3370 CP for Notability 15.

    Ten thousand lumps of lamplighter beeswax converted to memories of light, in the most inefficient way possible. The great work will continue, of course, but this part of it is done.

    I took a three-year hiatus from playing the game, before Paramount Presence was something you could strive for. But I had accumulated a lot of resources before then, and when I returned I found the only thing I was missing was the stats (None were at 200. Dangerous was closer to 150.), and about 10 levels of Advancing the Liberation of Night. I only had to sell about 2/3 of the Fidgeting Writer souls from my collection to raise the 10,000 echos. Dreams were easy. I had found myself married to the Devout Intriguer almost by accident. Revolutionaries pay well for their favors, but I still needed a lot of beeswax to push me over the line.

    I just made Paramount Presence 4 days ago (and finished Nemesis 2 days ago, as a reckoning had been postponed until I could make PP!)

    Norathar is now a Paramount Presence of the Ancien Regime, a Correspondent. Persuasive was my first specialty and Watchful the last.

    London's Blood 2 - Happy In Love
    London's Marrow 1 - Money, Money, Money!
    London's Nerves 3 - Strategies Beyond Comprehension
    London's Sinew 3 - A True Companion

    I'm now off to get my last 5-card lodging (have to grind Notability back to 9 for the Brass Embassy suite), and after that I suppose I'll be adrift and in search of a new goal.

    Remember that:
    1. With BDR 33 you don't need MW at all to get to Notability 5.
    2. When gaining Notability you're left with MW equal to your new Notability level.

    It's 1288 CP for Notability 12, and 3370 CP for Notability 15.

    You are right. Fixed my script. Thanks.

    Iirc side-converting is more efficient for grinding MW than Tales of Terror or Salon, but since it's a steady accumulation rather than a burst gain, the latter two methods can be better for the final Notability levels. Repeatedly getting married via the cheapest option that gives Notability is also apparently pretty good.

    "Iirc"? That's any tier-three item as Drake's linked guide stated, correct? I didn't realize it was more efficient at all, that's wonderful! So side converting until thirteen or so, and then the final two levels with a combination of card pulling and using MW options on housing cards, Tales of Terror updgrading, and the Orphanage/Salon options? I don't really want to undo the work of the event of the season wedding I did when the feature first came out, though. That was a lot of rats.

    I've actually been able to achieve Paramount Presence status for several months now, but I held off because I wanted to correct an unfortunate dip in my Legendary Persuasive thanks to opening a boxed cat without thinking and needed to grind my notability up accordingly.

    I considered hanging on until the 14th to make it exceptionally special and in line with my birthday, but felt I had waited long enough.

    I am happy to announce that Sir Reginald Monteroy (Correspondent with a professional interest in Seekers) has recently joined the Paramount Presences (as well as Poet-Laureates, coincidentally) after a rather leisured effort.
    As a personal celebration, in hopes of perhaps amusing someone, a short and fanciful description of how this may have transpired follows for whoever may be interested.
    [spoiler]You go about the morning business in the club as usual, enjoying a cup of tea and the occasional remark about today’s edition of the Gazette with your fellow Paramounts.
    Suddenly, the door squeaks open and an odd figure enters. His countenance is as haphazard as his beard is unkempt, and at first you think he must be honey-mazed. Then you recall you have seen this man at both Court and University, always either reading or feverishly scribbling away at something. Violant-stained fingers and a smoldering top hat mark him as a devout scholar of the Correspondence. Rimmed with old-fashioned spectacles, his starry eyes with the slightest trace of irrigo seem to look straight through you, and the dark circles beneath speak of innumerable nights spent plumbing the wonders of the Neath.
    He stops a few steps into the room and reaches into a pocket. After a short escapade involving a pair of unexpected weasels and several sheets filled with poems and notes, he brings out a peculiar timepiece. He studies the Correspondence-inlayed face for a moment, then puts it away, automatically dousing his eyebrows as they catch fire. His eyes seem to focus slightly closer to the immediate reality of his surroundings, and he addresses no-one in particular:
    “Um, greetings and salutations, gentleladies and gentlemen. Am I correct in assuming that this is a gathering place for the veteran – er, old- I mean, Paramount gentlepeople of our fine city? I seem to, ahah, have just recently joined your ranks, and thought I should come by and greet you nice folks, if that is well?”
    At that, a sympathetic butler approaches him and gently leads the man and his weasels to a free table, there to await breakfast, coffee and presumably whatever sort of medicine he forgot to take.
    You only wonder if the dark buttons on his coat betray a hint of a darker purpose, and if perhaps his flagrant absent-mindedness might not in fact conceal a keenly observing judgment. [/spoiler]

Total cost would be 1760 Maniacs' Prayer, 2750 Correspondence Plaques, 176 Aeolian Screams, 176 Extraordinary Implications, and 176-528 points of Wounds. Not counting Wound reduction, that's 2431 echoes worth of stuff, which would take a fair number of actions to acquire but not necessarily as much as an Ubergoat.
    -For Chess, I think it's like 3 actions per game, so in an ideal world, 300 actions to reach 100 Mastery, if we assume 50/50 chances, 600 actions. It should help if you have a weak alt to fight against. Chess with the Boatman would take somewhere in the realm of 403 actions, assuming absolute perfect Watchful. However, I almost certainly screwed up a bit in there and you probably won't have 100% Watchful gear, as that requires a mood, a profession item, and Ubergoat. Hands hurt too much to calculate more but I'd add like 15 actions, so in the realm of 1050 actions.

    *There's probably a few errors but that should give you a general idea.*

    I am happy to announce that I am now a Paramount Presence. I'm a correspondent. I completed Watchful first with the Courier's Footprint, then I committed to the Celebrated Model for Persuasive, Advanced the Liberation of the Night for Dangerous, and stole enough echoes for Shadowy.

    The most profitable thing you can do, AFAIK, is to buy a bunch of Winsome Orphans and turn them in for tribute. The tribute you have when you go to court, the closer to 2.2 EPA you get (as the actions expended while Zailing are relatively less and less significant), so build up on that and buy the Goats once you have enough for both.

    You get a Searing Enigma and 5 Antique Mysteries (125e) for only ten actions (12.5EPA). You're of course allowed to get the stat points but Trade Secrets are worth a ton. They're also one of the only reliable ways to get your score high enough to guarantee a Classic Short Story, if you're looking for one.

    If you have two characters, you can get a fair amount of Sudden Insights from playing chess between them. It's cheap but effective (the more you lose, the more you get). Same goes for Sanguine Ribbons (loser gets 5 Hard-Earned Lessons, each round lost gives one, you can avoid actually dying because of silliness). That's pretty much going to give the best results if you're willing to cheese things.

    I had hoped it was an item, like a weapon or home-comfort when I first looked at the challenge, since it was incredibly hard to acquire.

    Joyous day - with some assistance, one has managed to both begin the journey down a path that does not exist (Enigma), and joined the lofty ranks of the Paramount Presences.

    Rather late to the party, it seems, but better late than never.

    The name is this (same as forum). Occupation one cannot mention (as you would forget it once it is spoken), but some (those not too touched by Irrigo) claim there is such a thing as a 'Midnighter', whatever that may be.

    Decided to make my first time posting on the forums to announce attaining Paramount Presence status. Recent events sank a considerable portion of my fortune. But thankfully efforts spent closing some... personal business got me something useful which proved to be just enough to let me seize the recognition I'm owed. I am the Intriguing Curate, a midnighter, deacon of the church, and occasional spy.

    In order of achieving them matching the order each stat hitting 200:

    London's Nerves 1 - Starry Wisdom
    London's Blood 1 - Supreme in Luxury
    London's Sinew 2 - The Deadly Force of Freedom
    London's Marrow 3 - Known to None and All.

    I wonder what is next for my tale. Maybe I should try this whole 'dying' thing I've heard so much about. It seems to be in fashion in London, but I haven't tried it yet.

    Blood: 3
    Marrow: 2
    Nerves: 2
    Sinew: 2

    I've been sitting on 3/4 for maybe 3 months or so, dithering around because none of the Sinew qualities really appealed to me. But times changing made me make up my mind, and I decided to advance the Liberation from 18 to 50 in a week and a half.

    But only, and I want to reinforce this, only because I'll be able to un-do it all later. My self-stated goal is to wipe it entirely by sometime in July. Won't that be something.

    I identify as a Crooked-Cross, although I did switch professions four times during the Feast of the Rose. On the balance, this seems altogether characteristic of a Crooked-Cross.
