Does this mean I need to update my map of the Tomb-Colonies?

Greetings! Does anyone know where the best grind for Whispered Hints is? Or Bazaar Permits?
edited by Harry P. on 1/5/2019
Becoming a Licentiate gives you some each week
raising Dramatic Tension to 2 (3 loops +-30 actions) with a Murderous Opponent in your lodgings gives you 3 Permits
Or you can steal them in the Flit if I recall it correctly,
(You can also convert Touching Love stories (25) + Bohemian Favour --> 5 Permits)
Or buy them in the Sidestreets for 100 Romantic Notions & some Visions of the Surface.
As for Whispered Hints, in the Labyrinth of Tigers you can convert Jade, Rostgold or Amber into Whispered hints for a 1000-->1100 rate.

So I see Siankan's post and I remember about Walking The Fallen Cities, which I don't even know what does. So my Weekly Question is: What does it do?
https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Making%20Poutine%20Everyday Walking the Fallen Cities is a story quality gained in relation to knowledge about the prior and future Fallen Cities. It is connected to certain stories (the Amused Lordship, I believe, and for talking to the Minister of Culture in the Court of the Wakeful Eye), but otherwise, it's one of the story qualities that gradually loses relevance as you advance, becoming little more than an artifact - like the Fallen Cities it represents.
Also, you don't have to manually post your profile link at the end of each of your posts. If you go to "my profile" in the corner (right next to "sign out"), you can edit your signature, which will be appended automatically to your posts.

Your Lodgings -> Attend to Matters of the Heart! -> Admit your affection for an acquaintance
Once your acquaintance accepts, you will be "seen with" them. Note: for someone to be an acquaintance of yours, they must accept your Calling Card, or vice-versa.

That would require that I have enough Jade, Rostygold, or Amber to do so. Are there any methods to receive Whispered Hints directly?

Assuming you're grinding for Premises at the Bazaar, I was using the Appalling Secret option in Ladybones Road for the last stretch. Not sure how close you are but this got me my last 6000 or so.

I've gotten the Bazaar premises for three different characters, and for all of them I built up Bazaar Permits by doing Heists from Baseborn and Fowlingpiece, because I was usually secondarily grinding Making Waves. Heists probably aren't the most efficient source of Bazaar Permits or MW, but they're a decent source of both, which saves you time in the long run.

I think that's doable. Your best bet may be Thefts of a Particular Character, stealing Journals of Infamy 25 at a time, and then cross-converting the Journals across the Carousel to souls.
If losing echoes isn't an issue, and you've got an Alliance with the Big Rat, you can buy Casing for 3 Talkative Rattus Fabers.

Apologies if I'm being dense, but since I can directly steal Brilliant Souls in this way, why am I stealing Journals?

Tefts and then conversion is a standard way to quickly gain Tier-3 items. For most items you would choose to steal either Tales of Terror or Journals of Imfamy according to their position in the cycle. You typically would only steal Souls if you need Souls. 'Why steal souls and convert them to ToTs if you can directly steal them.' As there aren't many storylets that require souls, one might forget about the option.
If GregM didn't forget and mentioned this route intentionally, it would be because of the relatively good gain in Making Waves by converting.
I would recommend to convert all the Tier-3 items you already have and can miss to souls anyway, as this takes less actions that stealing all 1250. And then steal the souls directly.
