All the Goss on Whispered Hints: From Fluffy Felines to Fancy Functions
Ah, Whispered Hints. Those elusive scraps of scandalous secrets that fuel the rumour mill of Fallen London. You crave them, we all do. But where, oh where, do you get your daily dose of delicious dirt? Fear not, fellow scandalmonger, for I, your trusty guide to the underbelly of the Neath, am here to dish the details.
The Lowdown on Hints: Why You Need 'Em
Whispered Hints are the currency of the underworld, my friend. Need to unlock a shady opportunity? Hints. Want to buy that questionable artefact from the Bazaar? Hints. Basically, if you want to be in the know and not left out of the juiciest gossip, you gotta get your hands on some hints.
Hunting Hints: Where to Find Those Fleeting Whispers
Now, onto the good stuff. Here's where you, the intrepid hint hunter, can snag some juicy secrets:
- Become a feline fancy: Head over to the Spite (if you dare) and befriend some whispering white cats. Just be prepared for a bit of shadowy skulking. Bonus points for dodging the unpleasant residents of the area.
- Mingle with the High and Mighty: Fancy a bit of social climbing? Attend courtly functions at the Empress' Court. Brush shoulders with the elite and pick up some high-society whispers along the way. Just make sure you have your posh persona on point.
- Explore the Forgotten Quarter: This hidden gem might be a tad rough around the edges, but it's a treasure trove of whispers. Seek out curios and secrets and you might just stumble upon some intriguing gossip.
Pro Tip: Got a high Persuasive stat? Head to Veilgarden and try your luck with The Demands of High Society. It's a guaranteed hint-getter, if you can sweet-talk your way through it.
The Big Leagues: Advanced Hint Hunting (For the Discerning Gossip)
- The Labyrinth of Tigers: If you've unlocked this exotic locale, you can barter with the Tiger Keeper. Trade in some precious resources (think jade and rostygold) for a hefty dose of hints.
- Cryptic Clues: Once you have a mountain of hints, you can convert them into Cryptic Clues. These unlock even deeper secrets, but be warned, it takes a mountain (literally) of whispers to get there.
Remember: Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to hint hunting. Don't get discouraged, the juiciest secrets are always worth the wait.
