Fate-locked content (Guide)

From Fallen London Wiki
Ladybonessmall.png Early MYN Content and Onwards

This guide exists to provide a summary of various FATE-locked content. Exceptional Stories are covered by the separate Exceptional Stories (Guide). Below you can find information on:

  1. Other FATE-locked stories;
  2. FATE-locked choices.

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 player survey.

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]

  • FATE stories...
    • ...which have their wiki pages: fill the Reward summary parameter of the {{Fatestory}} template on their wiki page.
    • ...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]

  1. 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:
      • {{Reward|Always}} : a reward guaranteed to be received;
      • {{Reward|Ending}} : a reward acquired only by following specific choices;
      • {{Reward|Optional}} : a reward requiring additional preconditions to be acquired;
      • {{Reward|Unknown}} : a reward with unknown or unclear status.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
