Just graduated my first profound student and was surprised to find him an easy source of Nightsoil of the Bazaar. Kind of wish I knew about that before dropping all those rubbery skulls and pulsating ambers. Anyone know if it has any other uses than making more gunpowder, or if there is any further use for gunpowder after the lab upgrade?

Anyone know what the "rare success" rate is for working with your shifty student (or later students)?
I'm trying to figure out if it's more effective to just work with the student until they advance on their own, versus researching in more effective ways and then spending that research to progress the students.

I don't know the exact rate, but the general feeling seems to be to spend research on the Shifty & Meticulous students, and let the Gifted student learn on their own.
If you're intending to grind student research for a while, then you might consider picking one of the projects that has alternate options for collecting research. The one that lets you use Monstrous Anatomy is pretty good when you have the stat max-maxed.

Can someone remind where you can reliably and cheaply get wounded? Preferrably in London and in manageable increments.

I believe petting a starveling cat still works if you don't mind nightmares with your wounds. That's the standard I remember from some past Hallowmas events.

The labyrinth, exchanging nightmares with the hyena. Nightmares if necessary pootling around the Forgotten Quarter.

Sooooo, has anyone else found themselves carrying out this sequence of events? Perhaps more than once... a day?
- Decide to move from their laboratory to its Parabolan reflection.
- Find, on attempting to do so, that they don't have enough honey.
- Hit "Perhaps Not", to return to the laboratory.
- Feel suddenly lost, unable to find the option to return to London.

It's not locked, you can get wounds for free
(you even get a bonus tale of terror and 3 appalling secrets with your wounds)

I graduated the Gifted student solely through working with her on projects (well, one project, the hoard). Then I saw her reflection.
MY POOR STUDENT. I suddenly love teaching much, much more. Great job, Failbetter.

A thought:
There is a silver tree in the Parabolan Base Camp.
There was also a silver tree in Karakorum, before it fell.
...This probably doesn't actually mean anything, but I couldn't get it out of my head.

That would be so cool. In real life, the tree was destroyed, though I have not find out any source that says when. However, we know that the city was razed by soldier of the Ming dynasty in 1388 of the Gregorian calendar.
If I remember The Silver Tree correctly, the monument was build by [spoiler] the person now known as The Gracious Widow (the game implies that it is Shirin) with the intent to... create a love story? Create the Hesperidean Cider? (I either forgot, or did not understood when playing the game.) Regardless, one way of protecting the tree from the destruction of the Fourth City would be to hide it in Parabola. Or maybe the tree made such an impression on the culture of the Fourth City that a copy appeared. [/spoiler]
What do you think?

That was the connection that I made as well. It makes me especially concerned about feeding it to the Hybrid... did I just bring sentience (or sin) to a new species?

Huh. Maybe. [spoiler] If you fed a hybrid to the hybrid, it learns to speak and talks to you pretty eloquently before heading up to the roof. [/spoiler]
