Seeking Buyers

From Fallen London Wiki
ExhaustionOption Description
0-1A few shoppers of the Bone Market hover near your stall, considering your wares from a safe distance. The question is, are they the ones you hoped to attract? Or would you rather do business with someone else?
2-3After your recent sales, the Bone Market is a bit thinner of customers than before, though you can still find some shoppers interested in what you have to offer.
4-6After your recent sales, the Bone Market is significantly thinner of customers than before. The wealthiest skeleton-buyers are not buying at the moment, but you may find purchasers among those who don't pay as well.
8+The Bone Market conspicuously lacks the […] high-end customers who pay most richly: they have already spent so well on your recent work that they need to recoup their funds. There are still a few customers about who will make smaller purchases, however.
A player-created Guide is available for this content: Assembling a Skeleton (Guide)

Affected by Bone Market Exhaustion

When Exhaustion reaches 4 and beyond, these options still appear, but with superficially different descriptions mentioning that their "funds have been depleted". The player cannot sell skeletons to them, but if they buy other things, they do purchase them.
