I looked long and hard to see if there where already a thread for this, but I could not find one, which naturally means that there prolly ARE one I just missed, since that's usually how it works for me, but at least I can say I tried. Anyway, I was thinking about joining in the mad futile search for a particular persons name, and as such I'd like to keep the "unaccountably peckish" quality high, but I was wondering how to do it. The EBz-wiki information seem to be at least somewhat outdated, or at least incomplete. So far, I found a way to do it in the Mirror Marches, which means that I am actively TRYING to make my character go insane (which isnt all that far from what I usually do anyway...)

There are a few methods I've found. One of the options going along the "Intimate with devils" storyline offers it, something about giving advice for a banquet. There's also an option going around the terms in the university, towards the end of the term there's a luck-based storylet for cricket, where if you win you'll increase the quality. Also, judging from the text of the storylet, I'd imagine Mr. Heart's meat counter at the labyrinth of tigers will increase the quality, though it costs 1 fate and is a luck-based with a low chance of success... though, I'd imagine it's one of those tests where you're looking to fail (such as the nightmare tests in the place of some confusion)

Mrs. Plenty's Carnival serves Rubbery Lumps. On a Rare Success, those will increase your Unaccountably Peckish score.

Aah, I have found myself wishing to inflict upon myself that exact hunger recently. Unwise as it may be, if you wish to follow that path and you are known to be of some importance in London there are a few more ways. If you have a ship you can catch a beast of the Unterzee and make homemade rubbery lumps. Though the taste is certainly something that one wishes to forget, it does in fact leave you more hungry than before you started. This option can only be used to get small growls out of you stomach (only level 1), if you search for truely excruciating hunger, you must search elsewhere. Another option is that if you are in posession of your own private library you can reduce your nightmares by falling asleep in a comfy chair by the fire. Sometimes though the dreams are less than pleasent and will, on top of endangering your sanity, leave you with an unaccountable hunger...
Once the hunger takes hold (level 2), you should be unhinged enough to carry out less than appropriate talk at the Duchess' saloon, which can increase it even further, though, this is of course considered a terrible breach of etiquette...

You can send Lyme to the market when giving etiquette classes at Mahogany Hall: a failure there will increase your Unaccountably Peckish. Success will lower it, though.

Should you find yourself with a method of obtaining certain "counterfeit" heads of well-known figures, you can leave then next to your pillow while you sleep. The implications of doing so are rather disturbing, of course - I can only appeal to your sanity and suggest you turn back. Somnambulent consumption of false saints is a step to far, and the steps after are, regrettably, even further.

When you're in the Flit, and trying to learn the secrets of the Wars of Illusion from the local cats, you can try asking the Starveling if you have it. It won't tell you anything useful, but it'll increase the quality significantly.

As an opportunity card for the Feast of the Rose, "Sweets for the Sweet" increases Unaccountably Peckish on failure. It decreases it on success, though, so it's probably only reliable for that first point.
Edit: As does the fail for non-Fate option in "Securing a Table at Dante's". (It got me from 0 to 2, so perhaps it's 3 points for the already Peckish)

Well, seeing how old this thread is, my reply may be unnecessary. But anyhow, I'm trying to get started on the same task, and have found a good method to raise peckish.
If you are currently embroiled in the war of illusion and can perform Saturday night's magic show, then try the option to sabotage Peppercorn. It does require that you already have Peckish quality, and the action is a Peckish challenge. So far I keep failing it, but it increases my Peckish every time I fail. So assuming Peckish increase is not capped here, I'll eventually succeed. I hope that starts me on the name seeking.

Seeking the Name is not available at the moment. We have been told that it will be back but I expect that Alexis and the team are busy with Sunless Sea at the moment so don't know when. Hopefully soon.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.
