Greetings, Fallen Londoners!
A discussion stemmed in the "Such a dreadful bore" thread (click here) raised my curiosity about what Nigel Overstreet called singular items and achievements: something somebody has and no one else (or at most, VERY few ones) have. Be it a particularly high Quirk, an impressive hoard of goods or a singular, rare object of achievement; to cut a long story short, anything that would be proudly displayed in your Scrapbook or on your Mantelpiece.
Do you have one? What is it?
(On my part, I'm still a relativley green player, so probably my more remarkable achievement was hoarding 19.052 Cryptic Secrets - if not because the Cryptic Secret icon was my first avatar on both Twitter and the forums. But I usually display my Stone Tentacle-Key instead - the second one, actually - because I find it more interesting).

I have a rubbery euphonium. It's one of three rare companions one can obtain (the others being a salt weasel or haunted-looking dog). The reason I put it here is because I am a euphonium player for my school wind ensemble, so I was laughing hysterically when I got the the thing in-game.

No biggie, but it is something I wanted to do: after almost exactly four months play (well, 16 weeks), I wrote a Classic Short Story first time out. Since I used 4 Trade Secrets to do it, it sure wouldn't be worth it from a monetary standpoint (not even worth two TS, and you have to use at least 2). So I have something nice for my mantlepiece.

This has little to do with the collection of strange goods or the discovery of odd stories, but I do believe it is an accomplishment, so here is where it will be written.
After four months of random draws for The Square of Lofty Words Opportunity Card, I have successfully sent a Surprise Package to all those fine folks who sent me a Christmas Card. Or at least to all those to whom I could not reciprocate a Card in kind. As I had nearly forty people needing said packages (I kept a list, you see), I'm rather pleased to have finished with the project. Hurrah.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of ruthless lovers take their life; Whose omnicidal, fiery overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

I'm working slowly but surely towards being the craziest old bat lady of Fallen London. I'm growing my army... uh, I mean, my flock of messenger sulky bats, one at a time, and raising my "making use of bats" (which is the closest the game has to connected: bats) quality steadily, a few spare actions per candle. No, it won't bring me one single penny of a profit (each sulky bat is an action that netted me 0 echoes, because of course I won't sell them). It's not something hard, just something no one else is stupid enough to do.
I'm registering today what I already have, so I can know how long it will take me to have a number of non-bought sulky bats and a "making use of bats" high enough to be awe-inspiring and to make sure that no young whipper-snapper will challenge my hegemony over bats (at least, the ones that don't already work for the Glass).

I can't believe I missed that, it would have only been another week in there, and maybe a day or three extra coming down.

I hope to get my Magnanimous up as high as possible, but it's slow going. Doesn't help that much of the main storyline has random caps on it for no reason. "Oh, you decided to help the poor, impoverished glim-sculptor by refusing his reward? Well, we arbitrarily added a cap to a quality that has absolutely no practical value, so your selflessness won't be recognized and you get absolutely nothing, SUCKER!" =_= I bet Ruthless and Heartless don't have similar caps...
I always thought of the qualities as how the public views your actions. Thus, once the public opinion on, say, your magnanimity is really high, they won't be impressed by the more minor things you do. To raise it further, you must then go beyond their expectations concerning your magnanimity, ruthlessness, hedonism, etc.
Example: if someone I know started frequenting a honey-den, I would view them as a hedonist. After a while, he would have to something even more hedonistic for me to take note at all. Eventually, it would become very hard to be noted as more hedonistic until he found an action that would always be noteworthy, which would then, if repeated, allow him to be known as the most hedonistic man in the neath.

I find this all rather perplexing.
Giving capped players even less of a reason to play seems like an odd thing to spend time on, and turning opportunity cards whose only purpose is to raise quirks into more of a crapshoot seems even more strange.
I'm curious as to the purpose behind these changes, from a game design point of view. (From a player's point of view, I'm just very disappointed.)

As for myself, I'm not sure how many other people bothered to publish enough newspapers to get Defender of Truth 10. I am a Scholar of the Correspondence 15, which seemed like a huge number at the time, but now I'm not so sure. For hoarding, I have never sold any diamonds, since they were one of the first goods obtainable in the game but not purchasable at the Bazaar, and I wasn't sure if I might need them someday. Even after they became available in the Side Streets I never got out of the habit of hoarding them. I have amassed 1698 of them. They are shiny and enhance my nest. edited by hwango on 5/15/2012

I'm gonna leave this litte notch in the stick of history; my Extravagantly-Titled Tigress is named "The Tiger-Keeper's Wife" and I'm fairly certain I'm the first one to come up with that name.

On the very first day that the Cave of Nadir was released, there was no irrigo cap at 10 to kick you out. Most people left early, for fear of their stats, but not me. I stayed until Irrigo 74, and satisfied that I had seen all the content (that was available at the time), I left only to realize I had just narrowly missed having irrigo 77. I went back in to try again, but it was too late. The patch was put in before I could make it back. So 70+ irrigo was once possible, and has been achieved, but it is not possible any more. This is a legitimate accomplishment from my past, and one of the first things that started my reputation as someone who enjoys stat loss haha. edited by NiteBrite on 5/17/2016

Finishing SMEN clouded the fact that I got a rare success while Laying in supplies to sail North! Nice to get a Primaeval Hint after selling all, but the major difference in the text is great!

Judging by storylets text and common logic one term last 6 months minimum, so my character has spent 388,5 years in Port Carnelian. Sixth and seventh cities had fallen and he himself is barely preserved by energy of the Elder Continent, and yet still he has no intention to stop. Now to grind for 7777.

Dear Lord. Have you checked if you would be able to get Cider if you cash it all in? Connections are worth deceptively little when cashed in. For Society there's even a good option at the Empress' Court, but even then it would take 997 Actions to cash in most of those 498775 CPs for 997 x 4 Street Signs = 9970 Echoes, which is only getting close to an Overgoat. (Using that option also increases Suspicion, so that'd be difficult to deal with.)
A million rats however, could be cashed in for 1,100,000 Rostygold at the Department of Menace Eradication, and that would be 5 Actions for a profit of 1000 Echoes, and the total amount of Rostygold would then come closer to an Overgoat. Then again, you can't sell more than 60,000 of anything at the Bazaar, so maybe the same applies to cashing in Rats on a String?

Actually, raising Connected: Society is easy, if you have access to the Palace (I'm exiled from Court, so you don't even need that). I attended the Duchess' Salon and was Erudite, which will get you a level of Connected: Society for every two actions you spend on it, even once you're past 50 and the point gain flattens out. For, uh, 1700 actions or so, since I was already at 150 when I started. Grindy, but not nearly as bad as getting an Overgoat was.

Alas, no extra accomplishment for reaching all three. And I was so hoping to be an "Earl of Ink" instead of a Press Barron. This is a very big deal and a rather impressive accomplishment. Dave(Mr Dave? I feel like just calling you Dave is too informal) is not only the first to accomplish this, he is only the second person, as far as I know to have "An unmatched circulation." To give you an idea, this costs 165 Whirring Contraptions and likely over 8200 actions. That's about three months worth of actions if you utilized every action in 16 hours and used no opportunity cards. That's more actions than most people used to get their Overgoat! Congratulations, Mr Dave. A laudable accomplishment and one of which you should feel most proud. Hopefully this will unlock a rather exclusive storylet down the road!
Usually I go by "The Dave" if just "Dave" seems too informal. At least that's my twitter account, more or less. It was more actions than an overgoat; although not hugely so - and I think I only accomplished it because it *was* my overgoat grind. At the time I started, it earned only around 10%% less than the best options available per turn in cash, and I figured that if I ground for the overgoat that way I'd get my overgoat and something unique to boot, with only minimal additional effort. I didn't actually intend to go for all three titles (in fact I am not sure they were implemented at the time), I meant to keep going only until I got the goat. Once I bout it however I realized I was about 4/5 of the way to the third title I just kept going. Of course, somewhere along the line better echo/turn options came along, but by then I'd dug deep enough into the hole that I figured I'd keep on digging - a disastrous attempt at tales of terror grinding notwithstanding. It was indeed many months of clicking, much more than three for obvious reasons! But with breaks to check out new content it wasn't so bad. After exploring each new area briefly as it came out, I just went back to a very familiar grind. The biggest down side is that now I can't remember the newspaper stories at all - I have to read the wiki to see what they say. You'd think after seeing them so many times they'd be seared into my brain but instead they got filtered out somehow. Well, that and I can't pull out my smartphone without my wife saying "Are you playing that game again?!"
I don't, however, feel it is a particularly impressive or proud accomplishment - more like I'm the slow-witted rat that still hasn't quite given up on pushing the food lever, long after the other rats have moved on with their lives. Er, no offense to my ratly companions implied of course. Though I too hope it leads to an eventual somewhat exclusive storylet option.

70th Bottle of Fourth City Airag.
Of course, now there's an actual use for large amounts of the stuff, so that might be as high as I go. If I were a more experienced Connoisseur of Neathy Delights I could trade the whole collection (over time) for 2 vials of M_____'s B___d. There's no way I could draw enough Presumptuous Little Opportunities before the De Gustibus content vanishes, so I wouldn't be able to obtain and use the M_____'s B___d with that content. But I assume it will be good for something else in the future besides that and getting a Spire Emporium (which I already have), so I figure I should obtain it at some point.

Indeed. They cost 2 pence to buy and initially sold for half that amount. After they were 'removed' from the game, the sell price was bumped up to 2. It's really not much of an achievement to have one, more of a token to say that I was there when that screw-up happened. ("Enigmagate")

Dov, just amazing! Both of the achievements! Just curious, how did you feel when you gave up a lot of things on the Island of sacrifice? Probably that's the only part that keeps my main from doing SMEN! Well, the're nothing to actually sacrifice at that point other than your ship. And I had enough materials on hand to go and get a new Yacht in a few actions (took 4 attempts gambling with Mr Apples).
And of course, you give up the option to ever go NORTH again. (but that's fine at this point because Alexis is not writing any more content for this, and I sacrificed 3 alts to experience the 3 endings).
I also avoided the choice when returning to London (A Bad End auto-triggered), by using an inventory item. So technically my character is still a Seeker, though I can use the A Bad End item at any time.

I have to admit I backed out because I figured that there was no way FBG would have hidden content above 50, forgetting 77 is a significant number.
I don't think I'm quite willing to go toss another couple weeks at it. At least not yet, I'm so far below the content boundary and I really love the RP.

Now I am left wondering, should I keep my preparations at 777, for bragging rights? Or should I 'cash in' the benefits, serve around 390 meals, and work my way back to zero? It arguably would be an achievement in itself: It would take 1,5 year at minimum due to the limited Free Evenings and requires the help of others.

After seeing this thread just a few days after I joined FL, I didn't pay that much attention, but realized that FL should be a lot about RP and mad goals! So after reading many topics about this matter and checking this thread and Celebrating good fortune, I realized that I want to pursue many, many goals!
So it happens that I found the perfect partner for this and we started writing them down and ended up with a messy sheet! But thanks to Arandia, my partner, that old sheet was replaced by a better and more organized one which I would like to share with you all! We do need to add 4-5 achievements regarding the Numismatrix (marks, lose change, violins) and something related to Seeking (Freed from the name?) as well, but seems free time isn't our strong point! Want to add that we don't wish to start seeking, but in the future, probably, and alt will do so.
Any suggestion, improvement or more goals are more than welcomed!
EDIT: Sorry for the many multiple posts, but I want this to be a bump as well!  edited by Skinnyman on 2/27/2017

Impressive! I got mine to six entirely by accident, am considering grinding to seven because if you're going to hold it at any number.... Thank you! Some stories and some seasonal actions grant CP to this quality so I don't think it'll be possible to keep it at 7 for a long time without leaving conclusions hanging. Getting it to 6-7 it's easy specially if you can draw many cards per day; just reach Bohemian renown of 10 and keep your nightmares above 3 (my data suggests it's 15% chance out of total to get 1 free CP).

But sadly it won't stay there frozen forever, The Connected quality will be removed in a few days/weeks. It's only there now so that FBG can ensure the conversion went smoothly.

Ah, I thought you were referring to the very last part, on Avid Horizon, where you "just" sacrifice your ship.
I've done Winking Isle almost exactly a year ago. Indeed, it required getting rid of may hard-to-acquire things.
I'm still working on rebuilding my Wines stock (so many Tears of the Bazaar had to be sold).
And I think you pretty much have to use Winking Isle at some point (since the cost at the lodging keeps increasing while the chances for success drop).

Do you have a Clay Sedan Chair already? It opens up an Opportunity card whose second option (teaching the Clay Man porters how to read) increases Magnanimous without cap (I think), and Connected: Society to boot.

Yes, it is helpful, though that's pretty much the only option that raises it right now, and like I said, it's slow going. I am also somewhat irked by the fact that the option on that card that decreases Magnanimous is far more lucrative. Yes, selflessness and all, but at a certain point it really feels like the game is punishing me for trying to be a good person.
Also, it does have a (rather low) cap on Steadfast, another quality I want to raise.
(The Magnanimous option doesn't decrease Ruthless or Heartless though, so that's...something, I guess? Except I want to lower them, and I bet people taking the Heartless option would likely want to decrease Magnanimous...) edited by Little The on 6/5/2012
Well, I read somewhere (Failbetter blog maybe?) that it is by design that opposing quirks can actually exist in the same character - though sometimes an option will raise one and lower the other, sometimes there will only be an increase, permitting to be, for example, both Heartless and Magnanimous - meaning a complex person, sometimes benevolent and sometimes cruel.
Also, my personal take on the issue is that actually Ruthless isn't exactly opposed to Magnanimous; it is more an indicator of how determined the character is - meaning that a highly Ruthless character COULD be not Magnanimous at all (putting his own goals before anyone else's), but not necessarily; in Mutton Island there's even an action that raises both stats. I always pictured myself the Magnanimous/Ruthless type as somebody similar to Rei from Fist of the North Star - both extremely determined and deeply just in his choices.

It really seems to depend on the individual storylet/card as to what the cap is (if any). I've seen things that cap at 6, 9, or not at all (that I can tell). One of my focuses is Subtle, and the card "A Night Out" has pretty much always been useless, capping at 6, but I'm always happy to see "A Little Omen," which still works even at my current level of 32. I'm afraid I can't remember the last thing that actually raised my Magnanimous, though.

Nonsense! Why, here's photographic proof of two Fungal Ponies accompanying a shipment of Hesperidean Cider!

(For seriouses, though: I have to admit, if there were a chance to add the Euphonium to my collection, I'd be first in line... and I'd give my best slippers for even a glimpse at the legendary Pony.)

I have acquired an Overgoat, though I gather that's no longer an exceptionally rare feat. In my case it was months of grinding at Dr Vaughn's oh-so-useful Encampment: 5 actions at a time, and 1.3 Echoes/action. I'm back in London now, ready to explore some more.

I succeeded in this the same way I have excelled in life: The bar was lowered! The Austere threshold for Scarlet Saint was pushed from 15 to 12, likely because the Quirks appear to have been capped.

Seriously though, the Overgoat card does have an option that gives 10 certifiable scraps on one action. Combine that with the Boatman's challenge and that makes it a pretty nifty pet. Bengal Tigresses are a dime a dozen but nothing says "I have the fanciest of pants" like an Overgoat!

I doubt it's the most given that I'm short two Ravens, most of the Feast petpanions, and a couple from Fate-locked content or other Ambitions, but finally getting the Encounter at the Feast card got me to a nice round 42 pets: -19 purchased from the Bazaar -9 from Theological Husbandry -4 upgraded Ravens -2 from the Rat storylines -2 from the Exceptional Feast -1 Dark-Carapaced Crustacean -1 Bitter Saker Falcon -1 Unfinished Hat -1 Rare pet -1 Connected pet -1 Bat With Attitude

Delicious friends, I must share momentous news!
Seeker of Names has just completed a Race with In The Lead 4. My Menaces are as follows: Wounds 19 Scandal 6 Nightmares 8 Unaccountably Peckish 3
I HAD Suspicion 6 or so, before speaking to the Savage Sergeant.
I have decided I shall continue to Race until all of my Menaces have reached at least 10. Wounds should be about 30 by then. I shall spend so much time with the Boatman that we'll be on a first name basis.
(Failbetter, can Seeker of Names please have in-game confirmation of the Boatman's name? That would be both fitting and in-character.)
