Weekly Activity Checklist
| Early MYN Content and Onwards |
There are a number of activities available once a week that are either reset by
Time, the Healer or through other living stories. There are also a number of world qualities that change week to week, and this guide is meant to be a quick reference guide to those, to ensure that any you are interested in are not missed.
Time, the Healer[edit]
Activities[edit]
Time, the Healer is a living story that triggers one week from when you first create your account, and then every week thereafter at the same time. This is where the majority of the weekly resets happen.
Scars Heal, Memory Fades[edit]
These changes occur with every arrival of Time, the Healer (TtH), and do not require qualities from later stories.
Menace Reduction[edit]
TtH reduces Wounds by 2 change points, and the other common Menaces (Nightmares, Suspicion, Scandal) by 1 point each.
Favourable Circumstance[edit]
Every week, you gain a
Favourable Circumstance. You can use this from Send a Message to a Contact to immediately draw particular opportunity cards; the various faction cards, A Presumptuous Little Opportunity, An Unsigned Message, or The Lady in Lilac (during the Feast of the Exceptional Rose).
- You will not gain another if:
- You already have a
Favourable Circumstance in the Curiosities section of your inventory.

Mired in Mail[edit]

- You reach the Story Quality
Mired in Mail 4.

Free Evenings[edit]
Every week, you have 5
Free Evenings which may be spent in social activities with other players. The most common of these is probably Share a pot of tea at Beatrice's Tea Shop for
Persuasive,
Making Waves, and Menace reduction; this does not use up an evening until accepted by the recipient. Tier 2 Persons of Some Importance can instead offer patronage in their specialised attribute; both sending the invitation and attending the lesson cost 1x
Free Evening. See Social Actions (Guide) for details.

Free Evenings in the Curiosities section of your inventory.

Boons[edit]
The Merry Gentleman's Walls[edit]
With
Nightmares at 5 or greater, you may encounter an eight-fingered fellow via a Ubiquitous card in London or the Upper River. There are several ways to interact with him, some exclusive to the Hinterland, but the simplest, most polite, and riskiest is to simply greet him.

The Walls are Wrong, which increases
Watchful by 1 but also increases
Nightmares build-up. On success, you instead gain the Boon
