So i have been playing FL for a while now and while i have loved every story leading up to becoming a POSI i seem to have hit a wall. The lower areas i rarely use except for grinding lower level items and the middle levels i have completed all the stories so their nothing to do. The only new stories are in the higher POSI areas which most of my abilities are too low level to actually complete. I also have decided to commit to building a zubmarine and currently after 1 month I have 1 bejeweled lens and are out of magnificent diamonds/ 1 whirring contraption/ 1 strong back labour ( which i got from Wilmots End NOT with materials). Their seems nothing new for me to do except for Cave of Nadir ( which I'm pretty sure is taking away most of my levels) and wait for me to get more things to sell to get more items. I don't know what to do most stories lead me to increase menaces and trying to get all the materials i need is so long and frustrating. I have seriously thought about quitting but i have to ask is t worth it? i mean everything like the slow level gains and stories at the beginning of POSI, is the higher levels and areas that great I'm wasting a lot of time trying to achieve them?

Labor isn't tough to get, the contraptions are far worse. I got my Zub fairly recently and it was a long grind. Honestly you may want to reconsider your ship. The yacht is better for her (2 respectable to the zub's 1 bizarre) the zub gives safe options but the fast ship will get you around faster. I haven't experienced zailing with any other ship but I would say that overall the zub isn't worth it unless you REALLY want it for character reasons more than anything.

If you real y want a submarino, a los metros to get the rarest jewels for the lens would be the. Thieves Chache for the expeditions in the forbidden quarter, why do. I say this? Simple, if you don't get the diamonds for the lens, you get materials that can be sold for a decent price, now I used this price to fund further expeditions but you can also use it to fund other items such as. Labor or maybe to help you get the contraptions. Note, this is a slow process but -in my opinion-is a reliable one. Hope this helps you

And hanging around in Fallen London is not worth it if you're not enjoying it. The way I play this game is not to follow/pursue storylines, but to soak in the atmosphere, and keep my thoughts in the Neath. Is there anything in Fallen London you enjoy doing? If so, you should probably do more of that and less of other stuff. Let the numbers progress and grow while you have fun. It's not supposed to be a second job. (It's supposed to be your primary job. Draw cards all day, click all night. A game worth playing is worth playing right.)

What's the best way to grind Whirring Contraptions? I got the lense materials from just going pickpocketing while I was trying to find enough eyeless skulls.
