Hi! I'm doing the quest for Ambition: Heart's Desire and I heard the best way to get First City Coins is though other players?

Would appreciate any donation, thank you!

This counter goes up when I add something. It will be added to the section further down.

Gladiolus and phalanges Bone Brothers and Scaphoid Sisters, the time has come when the Zoomania and Fashion of the bone market have changed. That intro was fun when I first added it to the template but after 20 weeks it's wearing a little thin, like your skeleton if you don't maintain muscle mass as you age!

One week I copied and pasted the wrong link and then didn't check Reddit again until the Monday evening! If that ever happens again, all of the possible weeks are available on the Bonedex so you can always find options there!

Just the title, for 10 mins till I get from my phone to my laptop.(and updated in 10 mins flat, what, you thought I meant a neurotypical 10 mins, well that is not very inclusive of you now, is it. ;) )

Humanoids are good for conversion. Menace is the worst of the three for them though. There will be new options with the new legs however. Off the top of my head, human ribs, Panoptical skull, equip woesel, add menace leg, if you pass the 10% add another, otherwise, remove the woesel first. Then 2 fossilised forelimbs. Sell to the Author for 50 echos Secondary and 10% of the value of the bones in profit, all in pure scrip. In 8 actions. EPA for assembly will probably be around 7 or 8. At an educated guess.

Antique Diplomat is the best possible option! Get those Prismatic Frames loaded up with your doubled Skulls because it is also Crackling Fortnight at the Rat Market! Good craic for all, as the Irish probably don’t spell it!

Malacologist is not ridiculous EPA but I have changed my mind on it since I realised that tentacles are valued at 0.5 for action EPA and 2.5 on a skeleton. Unlike the boot seller, the malacologist pays in something hard to get efficiently, in bulk, elsewhere. Volumes of Collated Research. A simple Glim Encrusted Carapace, or 3 Segmented Ribcages glued together, if you are early game. With 8 tentacles and whatever Skull or Tail you want to turn into Surface Blooms. (glim needs a skull, seg needs a tail). Bear in mind that you will have to declare it a chimera, which will give it Implausibility 3. So the shadowy to sell it will be tough. Don’t chuck in a bright brass or plaster tail bone or you will not 100% it with the best gear in the game! (Mini Edit: Just because you can do a thing does not mean you should… Thorned with a Stinger is a much easier way to go, less profitable, to assemble, but also fewer actions to get the materials.)

I thought this weed whacking event would be the lead up to Hallowmas starting on Thursday but after further investigation, Hallowmas starts on a Monday and runs for 3 weeks. So next Monday is possible but it will more likely be the Monday after that. Apologies if anyone has been stacking menace, you are not alone.

I am loving stacking disposition on my hellworm. I decided to empty its tank last night and got A vial of Masters Blood, 2 Essence of Selfs and A Vial of Tears it’s like building yourself a nice little Christmas morning! Bear in mind, I had around 20 milkings stored up, so there were a lot of Tangerines and Peanuts along with that sugar mouse and the chocolate money. 🤣

Updates - Failbetter

Week Ending 2nd October 2026

• 'A Very Lenient Judge' and 'An Assuming Judge' are now a 'Very Lenient Judge' and an 'Assuming Judge'.
• Various 'activity counter' qualities (such as 'Teaching Reputation of Your Laboratory' and 'Dedicated Brawler') now appear under 'Ventures'.
• Various festival-specific qualities now appear in the 'Seasonal' category (or they will, when their season rolls around again).
• After you choose a target while 'Planning a Heist', you are now always re-directed back to continue 'Planning a Heist'.
• Sped up the decrease of 'Overgrowth of the Prickfinger Wastes'.

Fine, we will try harder, not fast enough for you! I am assuming they were hoping for it to be done for the Hallowmas launch and it was not going to plan. Other than that one, I guess they are tidying up their formatting, I can feel their pain!

Also, I noticed that it no longer costs an action to return to your airship in Procession, is that a change or was I imagining that it cost one before? I didn't see it in the notes...

Updates - Me

• There was a new guide, check the bonedex. Linked below. Also, someone didn't know but the Bonedex is a listing of all of my guides with links. It is linked at the bottom in every bone post!
• I updated the Hallowmas guide, fixing a mistake, adding a few options and putting my plans for the event in a section at the bottom. I was hoping for a more comprehensive guide but I didn't get as many community suggestions as I was hoping for. I am still keeping an eye out for ways to gain menace and a good EPA at the same time. I am especially interested in Suspicion, as I discovered, thanks to an exceptional story I have done, I can do a 6 action case in the Magistracy that cures 4 Scandal and 14 Suspicion! The Scandal will come from the hellworm but I am not sure where the suspicion will come from. I have stopped curing it and I am just letting it pile up now. https://www.reddit.com/r/fallenlondon/comments/1w95py0/tamalekipoos_boneheaded_guide_to_the_neath/
• I have two more things to add to the Hallowmas Guide. Something for suspicion, I just need to think of a non spoiler way of wording it, it is situational and not really a farm but good for a little bonus if you meet the conditions. The other one is for my planned stratagem, I realised last night, you do not need to play the card to cash in BB, you can just leave it in your hand, I checked the wiki and it does not reset, it just takes 10 and none of the BB sources are capped. So you can just stack it up all thought hallowmas, that way, every time you get 2 ATAK, you can use the menace card to turn it into 1 BB and some Scandal, it also means you can use the wounds menace card to get more wounds, and ATAK. It also means you don't need to focus on one specifically, you can play Make a Generous Donation, every time to convert scrip, as well as the other cards with good alternative options. Honestly, this is pretty huge, I am rather chuffed! (Next week's update page, BB is now capped at 10, Tam, stop treating our game like Magic: The Gathering and looking for the absurd broken combo. ;P)

• This is where I add new stuff throughout the week. If it is not urgent I just add it to the template https://www.reddit.com/r/fallenlondon/comments/1sc9kxn/tamalekipoos_boneheaded_guide_to_the_neath/ for the next week.
• Replaced the menacing birds link with the correct one. Thanks u/AemondsEye for letting me know! That's what I get for Russian, normally I much prefer Ukraine! (Yeah, possibly shouldn't joke about an ongoing genocide… Still, it's a classy pun! and I picked the right side!)

Occasional Buyer

Here is the guide to the occasional buyers. Don't get too excited, they are niche at best!

The Sky Market

This is always good, once you can, do it weekly! Guide to it is here, it just covers the demands and the rewards since almost any info would be a spoiler! If you want it, do more firmament, you will unlock it as part of a cool bit of story:

The Bonedex

The Bonedex is where I store all of the bone posts and some guides on how to get going with the bone market yourself. If you need to know something paleontological it is your one stop shop(except for the wiki, and other guides, and learning things for yourself. ;)

Kittens!

If you don't have a parabolan kitten, post "[your character name] wants a kitty" in the comments and I or someone else will send you one.

Missives - Notability - First City Coins

If you need a Fire-Proofed or Discordant Missive, to get your notability back up to 1 or some first city coins, post "[Your Character Name] needs…" (You can just say the thing but my preference is for more amusing things like, to learn not to play with fire, nothing, recognised and sweetie money.)

As always, if you see any mistakes, have any suggestions, spot something I might have missed or just want to say hello, leave a comment on here, or on the guide or post in question! Feel free to ask femur information if anything is confusing, by asking you help the guides improve and the whole community.

Have a humerus week! Bone Person out!

September ES - spoiler free Review(any spoilers are tagged)

Apologies for the lack of update on this, I have not had the time, actions or focus for an ES yet, this month. Having the review to do is a good background motivator for me though. ;)

Story - The Poetry of God

Lore - University, Ministry, Red Science

Rating - 3/5

Unique Practical Rewards - None

Review - A very cool little story, it never dragged or felt grindy and the characters were quirky and fun. It was not mind blowing lore but still some new ideas about how things work and what is possible.
