Raising Connections

Early MYN Content and Onwards

General Note

For most factions, the Connected quality has been retired.

A list of factions that still use the Connected quality:

• The Duchess
• The Widow
• Benthic
• Summerset
• The Masters of the Bazaar

See Raising Favours (Guide) for the factions that have been converted to the new Renown/Favours system.
