Editing Living World Events

{{World Qualities Box|Events = yes}}{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=yes}}
Living World Events are short-lived events driven by player interactions via [[:Category:World Qualities|World Qualities]]. They were first [https://www.failbettergames.com/the-rat-market-is-open-for-business/ announced] in September 2021, though they build off of the groundwork laid by [[Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out (historical)|Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out]] earlier that year. The first event to go live was the inaugural Crab Hunt on October 12 2021.

The known types of Living World Events are:

* Angler Crab Hunt
* Ravenous Lifeberg
* The Midnight Whale
* Lorn-Flukes
* The Urchin War
* The Great Crate Commotion
* Shifting Streets
* A Ghost Ship in Port

== Common Mechanics ==
Living World Events are somewhat like small Festivals: they are an additional piece of content that is only active and playable for a short duration. The amount of content is much smaller than a regular festival, and the duration is driven by player participation. Generally the event will be driven by a [[:Category:World Qualities|World Quality]]. The presence of the quality means the event is active, and player participation will drive the quality towards a goal which ends the event.

Living World Events are generally not announced until they go live in-game. So far, the World Quality driving an Event has always gone active at 11am, similar to Festival-related World Qualities. [[This Morning's Gazette]] will include a blurb about active events, so players are encouraged to read the newspaper to stay up-to-date on current events.

Each event will recur several times throughout the year, according to no known schedule.

== Events ==
The following recurring events have been observed.

== Zee-Monster Hunts ==
There are three types of zee-monster hunts, which share some core mechanics.
===Angler Crabs===
;[['MENACE RISES FROM THE ZEE' (Action){{!}}'MENACE RISES FROM THE ZEE']]
:The regular Angler Crabs seen at Zee have become overpopulated, and must be culled. And in case you have any ethical concerns, the game makes it clear that Crabs are not innocent zee-life, they are dangerous to humans because they hate us and enjoying doing harm.

===Ravenous Lifebergs===
;[['HUNGRY ISLAND THREATENS LONDON']]
:A lifeberg is sighted in the Khanate, headed on a course towards London to eat Wolfstack Docks! The Admiralty is offering encouragements to anyone willing to impede its progress.
===Midnight Whale===
;[['RARE SIGHTING OF A MIDNIGHT WHALE']]
:This is that rarest of reports on a zee-beast – one in which the tenor is curious and wondrous, rather than belligerent and fearful.
===Lorn Flukes===
;[['DISASTERS AT ZEE ARE "NOTHING OF CONSEQUENCE", SAY ADMIRALTY']]
:The Admiralty's denials are [...] unconvincing. It is plain to see that the [Ship] [...] has been destroyed by something vast, spiny and furious.

The World Qualities tracking this event are '''{{IL|Estimated Angler Crab Population}}''' for crabs, '''{{IL|Remaining Mass of the Ravenous Lifeberg}}''' for lifebergs, '''{{IL|The Midnight Whale: Distance from the Gant Pole}}''' for the midnight whale and {{IL|The Lorn-Fluke's Fury}} for lorn-flukes. While the event is ongoing, the Wiki will attempt to keep the quality page updated with the current population.

=== Requirements ===

* Your own [[Ship]]
* A base point of {{IL|Monstrous Anatomy}} (without equipment modifiers)

Monstrous Anatomy generally requires a {{IL|Parabolan Base-Camp}}. From there, conduct hunts and attempt to [[Ambush the (Parabolan Quarry) at close range]]. Characters with no Base-Camp but {{IL|Your Own Lab}} may have access to a few experiments that can raise Monstrous Anatomy, depending on item availability.

=== Mechanics ===
You must set zail to hunt; they have not yet tried to come on land into London themselves. Enter [[Your Cabin]], and select the [[Hunting the Beasts of the Zee]] storylet. You will have set course to the Zee-monster's location, and will immediately enter combat with it once you arrive. 

Each time you elect to hunt a crab, the {{IL|Rarity of your Quarry}} and {{IL|Elusiveness of your Quarry}} will be set based on the current {{IL|Estimated Angler Crab Population}}. These qualities cause both the rewards and difficulty of the crab encounters to increase over the course of the event. 

The Lifeberg begins in {{IL|The Salt Steppes}}, and changes Zee location every 24 real-time hours. It is currently unknown what happens if it reaches London. The Lifeberg's {{IL|Elusiveness of your Quarry|Appearance=Elusiveness}} and rewards change with its location, and the value of rewards scale with your character's {{IL|Watchful|Appearance=Base Watchful}}. The Lifeberg also awards {{IL|Officially Recognised Valorous Deed}}s, which can be [[The Restless Quartermaster's Warehouse|traded in]] at Wolfstack Docks for additional rewards.

The Midnight Whale takes place in {{IL|The Salt Steppe}}. The value of rewards scales the closer it gets to its destination. When it finishes a conclusion card can be found there: [[Stars Beneath]]

The Lorn-Fluke takes place in {{IL|Home Waters}}, and adds 2 addtional zee cards to the deck: [[Enspired Shallows]] and [[Amber in the Water]]. When it is over, you will find a conclusion in the zee card: [[Fading Fury]]

Combat uses the same mechanics and Storylet as encountering a Plated Seal: You must play actions to increase your {{IL|In Pursuit of a Zee-Beast}} until you can [[Strike down the Angler Crab]] or [[Blast the Ravenous Lifeberg with all you've got]]. The required level starts at 8, increasing  with {{IL|Elusiveness of your Quarry|Appearance=Elusiveness}}. After striking down the monster like one of those Oaxacan treasure-pots<ref>[[Listen 6|an expression you might have heard before]]</ref>, you will choose a new Zailing destination. If your new destination is another hunt, it will be a short trip only requiring 80 {{IL|Zailing...}} (unless the Lifeberg has changed its location).

For full details see [[Hunting the Beasts of the Zee (Guide)]].

==The Urchin War==
;[['TROUBLED YOUTHS DECLARE WAR ON SOCIETY, EACH OTHER']]
:The rivalry of the Noughts and Crosses in {{IL|The Flit}} has worsened and a war has broken loose. Visit {{IL|Spite}} in order to aid them with supplies (See [[A War in Spite]]).

The World Quality unlocking this event is {{IL|A War in Spite!}}, while {{IL|Balance of the Urchin War}} tracks player participation. While the event is ongoing, the Wiki will attempt to keep the latter page updated with the current population. 

The event is structured as a tug-of-war, where {{IL|Balance of the Urchin War|Appearance=Balance}} starts at 50000. A balance below 50000 means the Noughts have received more player support, whereas a balance above that means the Crosses are in the lead. The event ends if one of the factions win (if Balance reaching 0 or 100000), or after one week (determined by {{IL|A War in Spite!}}).

===Supplies Needed===
The scaling reward scales with {{IL|Persuasive|Appearance=Base Persuasive}} and {{IL|Involvement in the Urchin War}}. {{IL|Involvement in the Urchin War|Appearance=IitUW}} increases returns until it reaches 20. At that point returns begin to diminish.

Losing Rewards are gained when providing assistance to the side that is currently losing.

Each time you supply an urchin gang you will gain A point of {{IL|Involvement in the Urchin War|Appearance=IitUW}} is gained with provided supply, and your {{IL|Supporting the Noughts}} and {{IL|Supporting the Crosses}} will shift 1 CP, first moving towards 0, and then swapping to the other quality and gaining when you no longer possess the other. These qualities cap out at level 8.

==The Great Crate Commotion==
;[['UPPER RIVER DIRIGIBLE DISASTER!']]
A lot of crates has been lost all over the Hinterlands, and two factions are fighting for them!

During this event, you may [[Buy a crate from an Opportunistic Tracklayer|purchase crates]] with 7 {{h}}, or play one of the opportunity cards that provide them. A new opportunity card will be unlocked depending on who the winning faction is, providing favours in the upper river. The mechanics are similar to the ones used in the urchin war, but with factions changing from event to event. The event lasts for one week.

The resulting {{IL|'Salvaged' Dirigible Crate}}s may either be [[Open a crate yourself|opened for yourself]], or you may give it to one of the factions for a reward. The latter also affects the current balance in the event. The balance is structured similarly to the War in Spite, but the start point is at 25000, and the factions are variable.

===Faction pairs:===
*{{IL|Faction: Criminals}} (lowers the balance) vs. {{IL|Faction: Constables}} (increases the balance)
*{{IL|Faction: Constables}} (lowers the balance) vs. {{IL|Faction: Revolutionaries}} (increases the balance)

===Crate Rewards:===
Selling a crate to a faction increments {{IL|Crate Conveyor}}, a 777 quality, but opening it yourself does not.

''The streets of the city – treacherous at the best of times – are shifting underfoot. Familiar routes are disrupted, and unfamiliar neighbourhoods are revealed. To investigate this phenomenon, look for 'Shifting Streets', anywhere in London. The activity is open to players of all levels, and will last until the streets have settled once more.''

The Treachery of Maps is in full effect and London's streets have started shifting again. 

During this event, you may [[Shifting Streets (Storylet)|participate in a unique carousel]] in which you search out where the shifting streets are leading you. Like the Zee Events, it lasts until progress reaches 0.

Initially you will be presented with a choice of following the road to traces of the second, third, or fourth city, which determines the difficulty of the checks and the amount of the reward. The activity then consists of several checks among {{IL|Shadowy}}, {{IL|Persuasive}}, {{IL|Watchful}}, {{IL|Mithridacy}}, {{IL|A Player of Chess}} and {{IL|Artisan of the Red Science}}, a pool of which is chosen at random by {{IL|The Airs of London}}. After you have passed or failed 4 checks, you will reach the conclusion where you will receive one final payout.

===Resolution===
If you participated, at the end, you'll get the 0 action autofire storylet [[The City Settles]]. This will give you some story text, and also {{IL|Puzzling Map|1 x}}. This will clear your active event if you have one.

=== Requirements ===
* None!

==A Ghost Ship in Port==
{{GuideFor|Category = A Ghost Ship in Port#A Consignment of Capricious Cargo#Cargo Aboard the Ghost Ship}}

The event is accessible from [[The Hulk of the (Ship)]] (ship name changes with each event) from within [[Your Cabin]]. Progress is tracked with {{IL|Volatile Consignments Delivered to the Remote Magazine}} which increases with each level of {{IL|A Consignment of Capricious Cargo}} successfully delivered.

You have 3 options, which sets {{IL|A Consignment of Capricious Cargo}} to the selected amount and reduces the {{IL|Cargo Aboard the Ghost Ship}} world quality by an equivalent amount.

*{{IL|Take on a conservative load of cargo}} - set to 1 (easy)
*{{IL|Pack your hold with cargo}} - set to 2 (medium)
*{{IL|Cram your ship to the gunwales}} - set to 3 (hard)


All options will set your destination to [[Wayland's Teeth]] and begin a Voyage. Progression is standard for zailing - see [[Zailing (Guide)]] for an explanation. Upon reaching [[Wayland's Teeth]], the only option is to [[Begin manoeuvres]], which begins the event's main activity.

The goal of this activity is reaching {{IL|Progress Towards Admiralty Ordnance Depôt № 8|8}}, delivering the cargo, before reaching {{IL|Volatility of Your Cargo|8}} which explodes your vessel and kills you instantly.

You start the activity with:
*{{IL|Progress Towards Admiralty Ordnance Depôt № 8|1}}
*{{IL|Volatility of Your Cargo}} equal to your whole {{IL|Troubled Waters}} level


Hand size is limited to 3 like all Zee content, with the following possible card draws.
