Introduction[edit]
This guide lists the best repeatable methods in London for raising Favours for characters whose major qualities are 100 or more.
General Methods[edit]
Faction Opportunity Cards[edit]
Each faction has its own Opportunity card which provides an option to gain 1 Favour.
Keep in mind, that Time, the Healer gives a single Favourable Circumstance each week (up to 1), which can be used to force-draw any of the faction cards, effectively giving you a single chosen Favour! (Just remember to have the item needed to redeem it, as leaving that card will waste your Circumstances!)
Connected Pet Cards[edit]
Each faction (with the exception of Rubbery Men) has its own pet which provides an Opportunity card, with an option to gain 1 Favour. You can only have one Connected Pet at a time.
Pet Name | Stats | Favours | Pet Card | Reward |
---|---|---|---|---|
Hungover Terrier | +1 Bizarre | Bohemians | 15 x Inspired... | |
Preening Macaw | +1 Bizarre | Hell | 3 x 1 CP | |
Bandaged Raven | +1 Bizarre | Tomb-Colonies | 3 x Melancholy | |
Grubby Kitten | +1 Dreaded | Urchins | 3 x 20 x | |
Subtle Mole | +1 Dreaded | The Great Game | 3 x | |
Disappointing Marsh-Wolf | +1 Dreaded | Criminals | 3 x | |
Maverick Bloodhound | +1 Dreaded | Constables | 1 x, 1 x, 1 x | |
Tell-Tale Beetle | +1 Respectable | The Church | 3 x | |
Taciturn Mynah | +1 Respectable | The Docks | 3 x | |
Racing Slug of Fine Pedigree | +1 Respectable | Society | 3 x | |
Partisan Messenger Tortoise | +1 Respectable | Revolutionaries | 3 x |
Affiliation Cards[edit]
While most Opportunity Cards from Items are based on its presence in your inventory, a handful of items will add a Card to the deck when equipped, by granting a level of a unique quality which unlocks the card. Many of these items are Affiliations, and many of their associated Cards grant a Favour. Paying close attention to your Affiliation will let you add one more Favour source to your deck.
If you care about these cards, be mindful about what Outfit you're wearing when drawing! As they share a slot, you may only add one such Card to your deck at a time. You may also remove all such cards from your deck by equipping a different Affiliation (or none at all).
Mrs Plenty's Carnival[edit]
If your Renown is less than 5, you can expend two actions and a Carnival Ticket to gain 3 CP and 1 Favour. You will also gain some Renown at the same time, so this cannot be used forever even if you otherwise keep Renown low. This method can be used for all currently-converted factions.

Static Actions and Storylets[edit]
The fact that most Favours are gained through Opportunity Cards can frustrate players with bad luck or poor RNG optimization. Fortunately, each faction's Favours can be gained without the RNG's interference through fixed storylets.
- Grinding for Notability and trading it for a Favourable Circumstance can allow you to force-draw any standard contact card. One is received per week from Time, the Healer, but getting more can be expensive depending on your Bizarre/Dreaded/Respectable rating.
- Favours: Bohemians can be obtained when you Book a reading from an Unsavoury Poet on Thursday in Mahogany Hall.
- Favours: Constables or Favours: The Church can be obtained reliably 3-at-a-time, by breeding the Hound of Heaven at the Labyrinth of Tigers. This requires repeated Zee trips to capture Plated Seals, and is recommended for Monster-Hunters as they can get an extra reward from each trip.
- Favours: Criminals can be obtained by going to prison and trading one Skyglass Knife per Favour. You can also Share what you've learned with a Second-Storey Man at the end of the Box of Intrigue carousel in Spite.
- Favours: Fingerkings can be obtained when you provide tribute at The Dome of Scales, Occupied consisting of a Reprehensible Lizard, Lucky Weasel, Lucky Weasel, or Seven-Throated Warbler.
- Favours: Hell can be obtained by Heisting The Circumspect Envoy's Townhouse, choosing anything except the set of wax tablets in The Envoy's Study, then Deliver the documents to the Brass Embassy afterwards. You can also Report to the Brass Embassy at the end of the Spying on Polythreme carousel in Polythreme.
- Favours: Revolutionaries can be obtained when you Publish a seditious edition of your newspaper in Doubt Street. You can also Report to Revolutionaries at the end of the Spying on Polythreme carousel in Polythreme.
- Favours: Rubbery Men can be obtained by choosing the Glim-Shard when you Gather the Riches of Bullbone Island, then giving it to The Rubbery Glim-Trader in Wolfstack Docks.
- Favours: Society can be obtained by being Honoured with a State Dinner in Port Carnelian, or by graduating a Gifted Student from your Laboratory.
- Favours: The Docks can be obtained by completing the main carousel at Mutton Island and choosing to Rescue the crew. Parabolan nightmare-hunters can also gain Docks favours by slaying Pinewood Sharks.
- Favours: The Great Game can be obtained with An exchange of favours at the end of the Doing Business in Wilmot's End carousel in Wilmot's End.
- Favours: Tomb-Colonies can be obtained when you Book a Decaying Humorist on Wednesday in Mahogany Hall.
- Favours: Urchins can be obtained when you Share what you've learned with a Cross at the end of the Box of Intrigue carousel in Spite.
