 		I have - you may as well buy a Laudanum if you can afford the Wounds hit. That particular vintage will come in handy in December...

So it doesn't do anything special except lower Nightmares?

Also has anyone gone crazy lately? My nightmares are pushing 9 pretty hard. I have never seen them that high without going to the RB

 		Right now I'm wondering if I'm being mindf***ed.

 		Is there any one way better than another for getting cash when you first start? And does anyone know which missions give up the firefox candles, need some of those to progress in ambition.

 		There are a few that pay in firefox, but they come a bit later. I can't remember where they are, but I think it's either Ladybones or Veilgarden... It's not on the wiki because we haven't worked down that far yet. Rolling Eyes Generally, the higher the 'unlock' point of the challenge the more it pays.

On the other hand, here's a wee giftie for ye. Alexis and Paul have very kindly sent the wiki some wallpapers. They suggested we make it an Easter Egg, so it is.

If memory serves, firefox candles are the payoff for helping a candlemaker with a moth problem in Spite.

BTW you unlock new story elements as your relevant qualities (i.e. Shadowy in Spite, etc) increase.The new elements unlocked typically provide higher payouts in various goods.

Cheers

Unfortunately, no. That's actually a Watchmaker's Hill storylet, and it pays in Lamplighter Beeswax. Unlocks at Dangerous 9. But I think it's about that same level or a bit higher... There aren't many holes in the wiki'd Storylets at this point, but you found one TrueEyes.

I tested this by logging in with another account, and I could see replies I'd made using @username as the first word.

It's still a good way to look less spammy.

You can only see @name replies if you are following both people. The one that writes it and the one it is @

That is those are the only ones that show up in your timeline. If you click on a persons profile you see everything they wrote.

Oh, I see! That's cool. I'll definitely have to make more use of that.

 		Hello unfiction people! Especially the maintainers of that nice Wiki. It's great to see some tidbits of content that I didn't get, other Ambitions, etc.

I have some information on various other items and storylets that I could contribute to the wiki if you want -- I have a lot of the difficulties and rewards for storylets and opportunities jotted down, and various other things I don't think you've got on the wiki yet, like...

acquaintance: wry functionary
acquaintance: regretful soldier
Primitive Hat
A Heavy Iron Box (story item from finishing up Shadowy)
A Leathery Human Heart (story item from finishing up Dangerous)
a bunch of opportunities that unlock at 57 or 65 in a quality, most of which I haven't managed to beat yet (although I did finish "Investigating a Trade in Souls..." which was rather anticlimactic)

Please let me know how I can send you more info or edit it onto the wiki (although I see there's a member limit / $$ cap)

 		Hey metasynthie, shoot us an email at ebzwikiSPLATgooglemail.com - one of us will pick it up and put it on the wiki. Cheers!

 		Can I whine for a sec? Thanks. Love the game. Really hooked. I chose Light Fingers for my ambition and have gotten pretty far on it. It recently told me I had to go where the mad people are. So I got my nightmares to 8 and went to A State Of Some Confusion. There I did the next part of my ambition and to continue on I need at least Shadowy 50. Unfortunately I only have Shadowy 49 so I have to get my nightmares back down to leave, get my shadowy slightly higher in Spite, then get my nightmares back up to 8 to go back to my ambition. This sound like a HUGE pain to anyone else? Especially since I have to wait for cards to get my nightmares up. I like having to move around the city but this part sucks Sad

Whine over.

Still love the game!!!

 		I think they update nemesis less frequently than the other ambitions Sad
