Exceptional Stories and other Fate-locked content (Guide)
|
Early MYN Content and Onwards |
This guide exists to provide a summary of various FATE-locked content. Below you can find information on:
The guide focuses on being a complete and informative list of FATE uses, not just the best ones. For the latter, you can refer to the latest survey.
Some of earlier Exceptional Stories were divided into seasons, each providing additional content upon completion of the three stories within one. More details can be found in Season Conclusions (Guide).
If you want to know more about the specifics of the guide, expand the subsections below. A detail of the rewards can be found at /Rewards Comparison
How to add choices and rewards?[edit]
- For Exceptional Stories, fill the
Reward summaryparameter of the {{Fatestory}} template on their wiki page. - FATE stories...
- ...which have their wiki pages: same as for ES.
- ...which have no wiki pages (like parts of some Christmas investigations): use {{FateStorySummary}} in the "Other FATE-locked storylines" section.
- FATE-locked actions:
- If listing the immediate rewards is enough, add the rewards to the corresponding page and use {{FateActionSummaryAuto}} in the "FATE-locked choices" section.
- If not, use {{FateStorySummary}} in the "FATE-locked choices" section.
What is to be mentioned?[edit]
- Mechanical rewards:
- Can anything unique or rare be obtained?
- This excludes the majority of T1-T6 items. Currently the only exceptions are items whose other repeatable sources are strictly seasonal or Hellworm-based.
- Complete mechanical information is beyond the scope of this guide. Nevertheless, more specific guides in the manner of the Flute Street one are permitted.
- What permanent activities or cards are unlocked?
- Use {{Reward}} templates before the rewards you mention:
- Can anything unique or rare be obtained?
- Tie-ins
- The only unlisted qualities with unique content within the stories below are all Attributes and Menaces.
- T1-T4 items are generally unlisted as well.
- Everything is subject to Fallen London Wiki:Content Policy. In particular, no FATE-locked narrative content is to be published here.
- That said, it is fine to list circumspect guidance if the path to the reward isn't obvious when playing the story.
