Editing Quirks (Guide)

{{Audience|LateMYN|Evergreen=yes}}This page is a brief catalogue of repeatable, non-card based ways to increase [[Quirks]]. Besides roleplay, some notable reasons to want to increase quirk levels are to access [["I myself am my only true friend!"]] with {{IL|Hedonist}} 8 (which gives four [[Second Chances]]), [[Quite a moral afternoon. Let's make sure it's appreciated.|Quite a moral afternoon]] with {{IL|Subtle}} 4, and [[Browse the society romances]] with {{IL|Steadfast}} 4 (which gives a [[Mood]]).

You may also [[Renown Item Quirk Changes|consume various Renown items]] to substantially increase specific quirks at the cost of others.

==Repeatable Actions==

==== Austere ====

[[File:Quirkaustere.png|left|link=Austere]]
* It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Sour Pickle of Parabolan Orange-Apple and Vinegar|eating Parabolan pickles]].
* It can be raised up to 15 by [[Area-Diving in Spite|Area-Diving]]: [[Into the river with it]], lowering {{IL|Hedonist}}.
* [[The Iron Republic]] has [[Municipal amenities|an option]] which can raise it to 15 without lowering other quirks, but visiting the area may have other consequences and alter many other quirks significantly: see [[Iron Republic Street Map| the guide.]]<br clear=all>

==== Daring ====

[[File:Quirkdaring.png|left|link=Daring]]
* It can be increased up to 10 through [[The Means to Knowledge]] storylet, lowering {{IL|Subtle}} and requiring {{IL|Ruthless}} 4.
* It can be raised to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Orange-Apple Jam spiked with Muscaria Brandy|eating brandied jam]].<br clear=all>

==== Forceful ====

[[File:Quirkforceful.png|left|link=Forceful]]
* It can be raised to 5 by [[Go for the throat!|hunting dangerous prey]], lowering {{IL|Subtle}}.
* It can be increased up to 10 at [[The Singing Mandrake (storylet)]], lowering {{IL|Subtle}}.
* It can be raised to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Orange-Apple Jam spiked with Muscaria Brandy|eating brandied jam]].<br clear=all>

==== Heartless ====

[[File:Quirkheartless.png|left|link=Heartless]]
* It can be raised up to 5 at The Shuttered Palace by [[Double-cross_him!|Double-crossing an unfortunate footman.]]
* It can be raised up to 10 at the [[Help yourself to 'salvage'|conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel]], lowering {{IL|Magnanimous}}.
* It can be raised to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Orange-Apple Jam spiked with Muscaria Brandy|eating brandied jam]].
* While not infinitely repeatable, it is increased by raising [[Renown: Society|Society Renown]] [[Remind a certain family of their patriotic duty|past 15]].<br clear=all>

==== Hedonist ====

[[File:Quirkhedonist.png|left|link=Hedonist]]
* It can be raised up to 10 by 3CP/action at the [[The Empress' Court]] via [[The pleasures of the Neath]].
* One can [[Area-Diving in Spite|Area-Dive]] and repeatedly [[Keep it 1|choose to keep it]] to increase {{IL|Hedonist}} up to level 10, giving 3CP for every 12 actions and lowering {{IL|Austere}}.
* At the university, with {{IL|Featuring in the Tales of the University}} exactly 5, one can repeat the [[Term Passing...]] carousel and Feast. [[Fourteen courses of sheer indulgence]] gives 3CP up to level 10 and can be repeated four times per cycle. [[The Provost? The Provost...]] gives 5CP up to level 15 once per cycle. A cycle takes at least 26 actions.
* It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Marmalade of Parabolan Orange-Apple, Honey, and Roseate Attar|eating attar marmalade]].
* It can be raised to 15 via [[Fascinating (Guide)|Romance]] at [[The Empress' Court|Court]]. This requires at least {{IL|Hedonist}} 8 and is a very long grind, requiring 120 actions per cycle and sending you to [[Drowning prudence in passion|exile]], giving 5CP up to 15, but lowering {{IL|Austere}} by 5CP. However, this grind is notable for always being accessible.
* It ''cannot'' realistically be raised by becoming [[Closest To]] the Bohemians; it rises when you shift to the Bohemians, but is reduced an equal amount when you break away from them (unless you [[Consider yourself closest to Rubbery Men|shift to the Rubbery]] in Helicon House or [[Sell the location of the Cave of the Nadir]], disassociate yourself from that faction, and then return to the Bohemians via opportunity card). Also, it quickly becomes very expensive.}<br clear=all>

==== Magnanimous ====

[[File:Quirkmagnanimous.png|left|link=Magnanimous]]
* If {{IL|Magnanimous}} < 4, there's no good repeatable way to increase it. [[Donate to an orphanage]] and [[Donate an Echo to a good cause]] can increase it at 1 CP per action, but both need card drawing and cost almost 1 favour. [[Emancipate a Clay Man]] can increase it at less than 1.5 CP per action if [[The Clay Quarters (Storylet)|the Clay Quarters]] are accessible.
* It can be increased up to 10 through [[The Means to Knowledge]] storylet, lowering {{IL|Melancholy}} and requiring {{IL|Magnanimous}} 4.
* It can be raised up to 10 at the [[Rescue the crew|conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel]], lowering {{IL|Heartless}} and {{IL|Ruthless}}.
* It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Marmalade of Parabolan Orange-Apple, Honey, and Roseate Attar|eating attar marmalade]].<br clear=all>

==== Melancholy ====

[[File:Quirkmelancholy.png|left|link=Melancholy]]
* It can be raised up to 5 by [[Pick out a sapphire|picking out a sapphire]] at Empire Adornments in the Bazaar Sidestreets.
* It can be raised up to 10 at the [[A game of charades|conclusion of the Hunter's Keep carousel.]] 
* It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Sour Pickle of Parabolan Orange-Apple and Vinegar|eating Parabolan pickles]].
* While not infinitely repeatable, it is increased by raising [[Renown: The Great Game|Great Game Renown]] [[Piece together a forgotten match|past 15.]]<br clear=all>

==== Ruthless ====

[[File:Quirkruthless.png|left|link=Ruthless]]
* It can be raised up to 5 through betraying other players via false offers of {{IL|Nightmares}} and {{IL|Wounds}} aid requests.
* It can be raised up to 10 at the [[Help yourself to 'salvage'|conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel]], lowering {{IL|Magnanimous}}.
* It can be raised to 12 at Station VII by [[Transform yourself with Orange-Apple Jam spiked with Muscaria Brandy|eating brandied jam]].<br clear=all>

==== Steadfast ====

[[File:Quirksteadfast.png|left|link=Steadfast]]
* It can be raised up to 5 by [[Display admirable sportsmanship|displaying admirable sportmanship]] at the end of the first [[Term Passing... (Guide)|Term carousel]] at the University.
* It can be raised up to 5 by sharing a cup of [[The Achlian Midnight]] with the expenditure of a {{IL|Free Evening}}.
* It can be increased by [[Publishing a Newspaper (Guide)|publishing newspapers]], both by remaining [[Honest, no matter what]] (which increases up to 10 and does not lower other quirks) and choosing to publish [[An edition brimming with truth and wisdom]] (which increases up to 10 and lowers heartless).
* It can be raised up to 10 at the [[Rescue the crew|conclusion of the Mutton Island carousel]], lowering {{IL|Heartless}} and {{IL|Ruthless}}.
* It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Sour Pickle of Parabolan Orange-Apple and Vinegar|eating Parabolan pickles]].<br clear=all>

==== Subtle ====

[[File:Quirksubtle.png|left|link=Subtle]]
* It can be increased to 10 by choosing to [["Keep it bloodless"]] during the repeatable [[Doing Business in Wilmot's End (Guide)|Doing Business in Wilmot's End carousel]], lowering {{IL|Forceful}}.
* It can be increased up to 10 through [[The Means to Knowledge]] storylet, lowering {{IL|Forceful}} and requiring {{IL|Subtle}} 4.
* It can be increased to 10 by [[Immerse yourself in the Game|becoming Closest To the Great Game]], which becomes expensive quickly, requires already having {{IL|Subtle}} 4, and decreases {{IL|Steadfast}}.
* It can be raised up to 12 at Station VIII by [[Transform yourself with Marmalade of Parabolan Orange-Apple, Honey, and Roseate Attar|eating attar marmalade]].
* While not infinitely repeatable, it is increased by raising [[Renown: The Docks|Docks Renown]] [[Return of the Lovestruck Maenad|past 15]] and [[Renown: Constables|Constables Renown]] [[Arrange the freedom of one unjustly jailed|past 15.]]<br clear=all>

== Maxing out Quirks: Faction Items ==
If you have a quirk at 12, you can raise it up to 15 by using Faction Items. Each use consumes the item and increases the desired quirk by 15cp, while also increasing another one by the same amount. 

To get from level 12 to 15 requires 42cp, meaning you'll consume three faction items until you're maxed out.
