Editing Term Passing... (Guide)

'''''At Benthic or at Summerset, each day is a new page.'''''
==Introduction==
As soon as you reach {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 5 you can attend to university life. This is done by selecting different storylets in the University. All options on these storylets raise {{IL|Term Passing...}} by one level. As {{IL|Term Passing...}} increases new storylets will become available while old ones lock. This culminates in 6 different storylets at {{IL|Term Passing...}} 12 each of which will set it back to zero. 

This carousel can be repeated forever unless you select [[Making your Name: A most notable academic]] which sets {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} to 6 and progresses the story. Note that once you've selected that option all the earlier options will be gone for good so make sure you're finished with them. Once you've reached {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 6 new Term related storylets will appear between {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 9-24. The same rules apply, although it only cycles up to T7 (i.e {{IL|Term Passing...}} 7), and not T12 like the first carousel.

After {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 24 the University storylet will finish and you'll be locked out of these carousels.

__TOC__

==Story Lines==
[[File:University.png|right]]
There are six main plots including several storylets that lead up to the {{IL|Term Passing...}} 12 finale.
===Which to pick?===
Some storylines are better for some characters and some better for others.
*The Feasts involves you feasting with members of Summerset College. This storyline should only be done by people who still have their soul, as almost all good options are otherwise locked. Most of these options require {{IL|Connected: Summerset}} and also lower it slightly
*The Stoats involves you hanging around with a student club. It doesn't require anything special and gives out various wines in varying quantities.
*The Match involves Benthic College and more specifically their Cricket team. Like the Summerset line it requires you to have  {{IL|Connected: Benthic}} however it doesn't decrease it and also can still be done when you've sold your soul.
*The Debate, debate, discuss and or threaten everybody until they agree with you (diplomacy at its finest). Just like the Stoats it doesn't require anything special although the  {{IL|Term Passing...}} 12 can drop Connected of one of the colleges.
*The Library. Just some quiet reading until the Library refuses to loan you a book and revolutionaries start stealing stuff. The most interesting option is [[Report them to the college authorities]] under [[The library roof]] which gives you +30CP in Connected for both Colleges.
*Teaching and other things to spend time on. Despite this being a University, this is literally the only storyline involving learning teaching and together with the Murder the only one which doesn't involve drinking copious amount of alcohol(or to say it in a different way, these two are dull and lack alcohol).
*The Murder. Ah, who doesn't love some academic infighting? The Murder involves you trying to find out who killed the research fellow in Antiquarian Esquivalience (don't worry about him -- it happens every term). Note that this is the only storyline that starts at {{IL|Term Passing...}} 6 instead of zero.

These are some of the more interesting storylets you can do: 
*[[Making your Name: A most notable academic]] lets you advance {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} to 6, locking all {{IL|Term Passing...}} related content.
*[[Attend a feast]] under '''[[Feasting at Summerset]]''' (T0-7) reduces {{IL|Wounds}} by 1 CP at the cost of 2 CP of {{IL|Connected: Summerset}}. It also gives {{IL|Whispered Hint|90 x}}. Requires you to have your soul!
*Both [[A feather in Benthic's mortar board]] under '''[[Out and about at Benthic College]]''' (T0-10) and [[Mixing in Summerset Society]] under '''[[Summerset days]]''' (also T0-10) give 2 CP of {{IL|Making Waves}}, at no cost and with no challenge. Each also gives 3 CP of its corresponding Connected quality.
*[[Perhaps you might read a book today]] under '''[[Enjoying the pace of academic life]]''' (T0-11) reduces {{IL|Nightmares}} by 1 CP. It also adds 1 CP to both {{IL|Connected: Benthic|Appearance = Benthic}} and {{IL|Connected: Summerset|Appearance = Summerset}} connections, and {{IL|Primordial Shriek|20 x}}.
*[[Take the bravery challenge]] under '''[[Fun with the Stoats]]''' (T8-10) is the only {{IL|Dangerous}} challenge.
*[[Learned discourse]] under '''[[Do some actual research]]''' (T8-11) gives a CP of {{IL|A Scholar of the Correspondence}} (up to 7) on a rare success in addition to cryptic clues.
*[[Business and pleasure]] under '''[[The Feast of the World]]''' (T11) gives a {{IL|London Street Sign}} ({{E}}2.50 each) and can be played 3-4 times per term. Requires you to have your soul!
*All options under '''[[The day of the debate]]''' (T11) gives challenge-free 5 CP to {{IL|Watchful}}.

Only one T12 storylet can be played per go-round of the {{IL|Term Passing...}} carousel, so choose wisely. Note that some of them have massive negative effects even upon succeeding in the relevant challenge, though there are many challenge-free options with great rewards.

If you're looking for a goal to achieve before moving on to {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 6 and closing this first carousel, one such goal might be getting the two Colleges' Connected values up to ~15 each (needing 120 CP, or 3-4 trips choosing the T12 storylet [[Report them to the college authorities]] at +30CP for both). After a few go-arounds reading all the storylets you wish for fun, one might focus on first clearing their {{IL|Wounds}} and {{IL|Nightmares}}, collecting Connected with [[A feather in Benthic's mortar board|A feather...]] and [[Mixing in Summerset Society|Mixing...]] up to T8, then grinding {{IL|Watchful}} and potentially increasing {{IL|A Scholar of the Correspondence}} with [[Learned discourse]] to T11, before raking in some Echoes with [[Business and pleasure]] to T12 and ending with the aforementioned [[Report them to the college authorities|Report them...]].

T0-10 storylets generally give +2CP of {{IL|Term Passing...}}, whereas T11 storylets give +3CP. As such, each pass through the carousel takes 38-40 actions, depending on if you play T11 storylets.

After you've advanced {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} to 9 a second carousel opens up. This carousel works exactly the same as the previous except that it only goes to {{IL|Term Passing...}} 7. The general point of this carousel is to gain {{IL|Investigating...}}, which unlocks storylets in [[Making Your Name: Investigations in the university]] that each increase {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}}. Check the [[Featuring in the Tales of the University_(Guide)]] for details.

At the end of the story (i.e. once you have over {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} 24), this carousel will lock.
=== Notable Storylets ===
By far the most interesting storylet here is [[Talk to the Porters]]. For the cost of {{IL|Cryptic Clue|25 x}} you gain {{IL|Whispered Hint||Appearance=Whispered Hints}} and a {{IL|Sudden Insight}} -- and {{IL|Sudden Insight|5x|Appearance=Sudden Insights}} can be traded in on [[Every stone]] in your Lodgings (under [[Attend to Matters of Watchfulness and Nightmares]]) for a great boost in {{IL|Watchful}}. Because {{IL|Cryptic Clue|Appearance=Cryptic Clues}} can be gained using the other investigation storylets, this is one of the best Watchful grinds in the game.

For example, if you can 100% the Porters challenge, you'll get +1CP Watchful on success. {{IL|Sudden Insight|5x|Appearance=Sudden Insights}} are worth a random number of CP somewhere between 1 and 50, which averages to 25CP Watchful per trade-in. This means that the average per Sudden Insight is 25 / 5 = 5CP, so each successful Porter challenge is worth a total of 1 + 5 = 6CP. Therefore, 11-12 challenges nets on average ~70CP, which is an entire level of Watchful.

If you can't quite 100% the Porters challenge, if you aim for 90% (needing 162-163 modified Watchful), you'll gain +2CP per challenge on successes -- plus the Sudden Insight, for a total of 7CP. 10 successes thus also gets the ~70CP for a level of Watchful, but at 90% there will likely be 1 failure. As such, 10 successes will need ~11 actions, plus one to reduce the resulting {{IL|Nightmares}}, for a total of ~12 actions -- about the same as the results from the challenge at 100%, though somewhat more complicated.

As a hint, when you increase Watchful and need to reduce your outfit's Watchful to remain at a modified 162-163 Watchful (remember to do so, or you'll soon be doing the challenge at 91% and only getting the +1CP on successes of 100%, while still being at risk of failure and Nightmares!), the first piece you should remove is your Watchful Companion. Swap it for a [[Cheerful Goldfish]], and many of the {{IL|Nightmares}} from failed Porter challenges will be negated. The second, of course, is swapping your Weapon for a [[Bejewelled Cane]]. (Which you already have, right? Right?!)

There are 15 levels of the University MYN story that need Investigating. If you build the 28CP needed for {{IL|Investigating...}} 7 to 100% the Investigating challenge, that takes (coincidentally) 7 Porter successes. 7 * 15 = 105 Porter successes, so just doing the story is going to net you around 10 levels of Watchful, completely irrespective of any actual grinding.

If you don't finish the story and lock the carousel, you can continue to dump 11-12 actions into Porters to grind a level of Watchful. If you're dedicated, that's about 10 levels per day....

Note also that you can sell off excess Investigating under [[The Heights of Chicanery]] in {{IL|The Flit}} using either [[More than just Messages]] (for {{IL|Rostygold|540 x}}, usually) or [[Raid a Message-Drop]] (for {{IL|Cryptic Clue|270 x|Appearance=Cryptic Clues}}). The latter is useful if you're running low paying the Porters.
