General[edit]

If you head to Wilmot's End you can search for a missing woman, a carousel that takes 11 actions.

There are various storylets and cards to raise Searching out a Missing Woman, depending on your qualities, which menaces you are willing to risk acquiring, and Looking in High Places and Low (the qualities are abbreviated as SoaMW and  LiHPaL respectively in the tables below):

Progress[edit]

The following table details the progress actions for this activity. There are several times when you are presented with a choice that determines what actions you are able to take to complete the cycle. Initially, picking Whatever is necessary will open up both Watchful and Persuasive challenges, whereas the other two will limit you to one or the other. At Level 3, picking A former acquaintance of the Cheesemonger or The Dreaming Scholar will grant access to Persuasive and Watchful Challenges. Otherwise it will just be Persuasive.

Analysis[edit]

The carousel is considered one of the best ways to obtain Whirring Contraptions for use in Publishing a Newspaper (Guide) at 5.5 actions/Contraption. Other than that, you can use it for raising Dramatic Tension for a different cash out. The whirring contraption has the highest epa at 1.09, but there are much better grinds.
