User:Fynnkaterin/Early Item Sources
From Fallen London Wiki
This is a list of item sources accessible to early game (pre- PoSI) players. It primarily focuses on repeatable sources, though some conversions and Opportunity Card sources may be listed if there are insufficient grindable sources.
Many of these sources are part of stories and carousels, some of which use progress qualities that open up new options. Notable examples include:
The Shuttered Palace and
The Empress' Court
- The life of the mind: Mid-level
Persuasive challenges yielding good quantities of several 2–5p items.
- Matters of Allure:
Persuasive storylets that primarily yield Mysteries Items (notably
Stolen Correspondence), while also increasing
Fascinating...
Spite area
- The Alleys of Spite: A set of
Shadowy storylets that primarily yields Mysteries items (mainly
Whispered Hints).
- The Crowds of Spite: Also known as the Pickpocket's Promenade; a carousel of
Shadowy challenges yielding
Pickpocket's Trophies that are exchanged at the end for a variety of prizes.
- Opportunism in Spite: An
Airs-dependent opportunity storylet using
Shadowy. The options yield a variety of 1–5p items.
- Working for the Widow: An
Airs-dependent opportunity storylet using
Shadowy. A good source of
Jade and
Connected: The Widow.
Veilgarden area
- The Singing Mandrake: A good source of
Greyfields 1879 at low levels of
Persuasive.
- The Battle of Wolfstack Docks: A
Dangerous carousel that locks on completion. Until you play the ending storylet, the mid-carousel storylets (Strike! and, depending on your allegiances, A campaign of intimidation or Intercept a shipment of Clay Men) remain available for item-grinding. A good source of
Glim in particular.
