|Wiki Note = Given this action's Rare Success chance of 1%, this is on average a <b>net loss of 0.9 actions</b> (assuming a 100% chance of success and valuing {{IL|Darkdrop Coffee}} at +10 actions). Additionally, the locking of this card at {{IL|Persuasive|119}} makes it quite difficult, if not impossible, to succeed 100% without {{FontFate}} or {{FontRetired}} items (see [[Stat-reducing items#Persuasive|Stat-reducing items]] and [[Persuasive Items#Max item bonuses|Persuasive Items]]), further increasing the net action loss incurred by playing this action.<br>

|Wiki Note = With this action having a rare success chance of 1%, on average you will lose 0.9 actions (assuming a 100% chance of succeess and darkdrop coffee functions not as an item but as +10 actions), which is still better than most cards and storylets, but will not result in a net gain of actions like it might appear. One advantage of {{IL|Darkdrop Coffee}}, however, is that you do not need to use it immediately, allowing you to bank actions to redeem at a later time, even if it is a net loss of actions overall.
