Seeking Buyers
From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)
 Exhaustion | Option Description |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | A few shoppers of the Bone Market hover near your stall, considering your wares from a safe distance. The question is, are they the ones you hoped to attract? Or would you rather do business with someone else? |
| 2-3 | After your recent sales, the Bone Market is a bit thinner of customers than before, though you can still find some shoppers interested in what you have to offer. |
| 4-5 | After your recent sales, the Bone Market is significantly thinner of customers than before. The wealthiest skeleton-buyers are not buying at the moment, but you may find purchasers among those who don't pay as well. |
| 8+ | The Bone Market conspicuously lacks the […] high-end customers who pay most richly: they have already spent so well on your recent work that they need to recoup their funds. There are still a few customers about who will make smaller purchases, however. |
| A player-created Guide is available for this content: Assembling a Skeleton (Guide) |
