This page is a brief catalogue of repeatable, non-card based ways to increase Quirks. Besides roleplay, some notable reasons to want to increase quirk levels are to access "I myself am my only true friend!" with Hedonist 8 (which gives four Second Chances), Quite a moral afternoon with
Subtle 4, and Browse the society romances with
Steadfast 4 (which gives a Mood).
For raising Quirks to very high levels, see also this guide for using Renown items.
Austere[edit]
- It can also be raised up to 15 by Area-Diving: Into the river with it, lowering
Hedonist.
- The Iron Republic has an option which can raise it to 15 without lowering other quirks, but visiting the area may have other consequences and alter many other quirks significantly: see the guide.
- It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by eating Parabolan pickles.
Daring[edit]
- It can be increased up to 10 through The Means to Knowledge storylet, lowering
Subtle and requiring
Ruthless 4.
- It can be raised to 12 at Station VIII by eating brandied jam.
Forceful[edit]
- It can be increased up to 10 at The Singing Mandrake (storylet), lowering
Subtle.
- It can be raised to 5 by hunting dangerous prey, lowering
Subtle.
- It can be raised to 12 at Station VIII by eating brandied jam.
Heartless[edit]
- While not infinitely repeatable, it is increased by raising Society Renown past 15.
- It can be raised up to 10 at the conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel, lowering
Magnanimous.
- It can be raised to 12 at Station VIII by eating brandied jam.
- It can be raised to 5 at The Shuttered Palace by Double-crossing an unfortunate footman.
Hedonist[edit]
- It can be raised up to 10 by 3CP/action at the The Empress' Court via The pleasures of the Neath.
- One can Area-Dive and repeatedly choose to keep it to increase
Hedonist up to level 10, giving 3CP for every 12 actions and lowering
Austere.
- At the university, with
Featuring in the Tales of the University exactly 5, one can repeat the Term Passing... carousel and Feast. Fourteen courses of sheer indulgence gives 3CP up to level 10 and can be repeated four times per cycle. The Provost? The Provost... gives 5CP up to level 15 once per cycle. A cycle takes at least 26 actions.
Hedonist can be raised to 15 via Romance at Court. This requires at least
Hedonist 8 and is a very long grind, requiring 120 actions per cycle and sending you to exile, giving 5CP up to 15, but lowering
Austere by 5CP. However, this grind is notable for always being accessible.
- It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by eating attar marmalade.
- It cannot realistically be raised by becoming Closest To the Bohemians; it rises when you shift to the Bohemians, but is reduced an equal amount when you break away from them (unless you shift to the Rubbery in Helicon House then to the Bohemians via the faction card, but that's obviously ineffecient). Also, it quickly becomes very expensive.
Magnanimous[edit]
- It can be increased up to 10 through The Means to Knowledge storylet, lowering
Melancholy and requiring
Magnanimous 4.
- It can be raised up to 10 at the conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel, lowering
Heartless and
Ruthless.
- It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by eating attar marmalade.
Melancholy[edit]
- It can be raised up to 10 at the conclusion of the Hunter's Keep carousel.
- While not infinitely repeatable, it is increased by raising Great Game Renown past 15.
- It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by eating Parabolan pickles.
Ruthless[edit]
- It can be raised up to 10 at the conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel, lowering
Magnanimous.
- It can be raised to 12 at Station VII by eating brandied jam.
Steadfast[edit]
- It can be raised up to 5 by displaying admirable sportmanship at the end of the first Term carousel at the University.
- It can be raised up to 5 by sharing a cup of The Achlian Midnight with the expenditure of a
Free Evening.
- It can be increased by publishing newspapers, both by remaining Honest, no matter what (which increases up to 10 and does not lower other quirks) and choosing to publish An edition brimming with truth and wisdom (which increases up to 10 and lowers heartless).
- It can be raised up to 10 at the conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel, lowering
Heartless and
Ruthless.
