Shadowy (Cat)

Second Chances
To use a Second Chance, expand the Challenge information and tick the usage box BEFORE attempting the Challenge for the first time.
Top tip - How to use multiple Second Chances for 1 challenge:
1) Choose to use SC. Attempt the challenge & fail.
2) Choose "<- Perhaps Not" instead of the second attempt.
3) Attempt the challenge again using a SC.
4) Repeat.
Sudden Insight (Watchful)
Hastily Scrawled Warning Note (Shadowy)
Hard-Earned Lesson (Dangerous)

Menaces: How to Reduce Them
Most sensible Fallen Londoners try to keep their Menaces below level 8 at all times by actively reducing them.
Top tip: Menace level 5+ inserts Menace-related cards into your Opportunity Deck. To get rid of them, reduce the Menace to level 4 or below.
Nightmares
Scandal
Suspicion
Wounds
Ambition
Ambition is a Silver Storylet which will supposedly last throughout the game. Switching one's Ambition is costly.
Lodgings
Your home. Social Actions. Buy better lodgings from The Bazaar. Better lodgings increases maximum hand size.
Top tip #1: Many Storylets require you to travel to your Lodgings and continue from there. When stuck, check your Lodgings first.
Top tip #2: You are allowed to own multiple lodgings at once, and gain all associated benefits from each.
Item Conversions
To convert Items, enter "Myself"-tab and click on the item. Most items convert into items of the same category.
Top tip: Item conversions chart. Most useful for people who like maths.
(NOTE: The wiki I have just linked to is far outdated. But that conversions chart is better than what we have elsewhere.)
Journal
Located at fallenlondon.storynexus.com/profile/YourCharacterName
Top tip: You can put "The Airs of London" into your scrapbook from the "Myself"-tab to see the numeral value for the Airs from the Journal.
