To view your current value of Airs of London (as it is not listed under the Myself tab), hover over any action that requires it. You can also view your current Airs value at anytime by marking an action that requires Airs of London at any level as a "plan" by clicking the bookmark icon in the top right corner of the action; this allows you to view that action at any time under the 'Plans' tab which is located to the right of the FATE and Bazaar tabs.

==Ways to change your Airs==

*Deal with [[Business on Watchmaker's Hill]].
*Rob [[A cavalry officer]] in Spite.
*[[Opportunism in Spite]]
*[[Working for the Widow]] in Spite
*[[Dabble in the Great Game]] in Veilgarden, or with low stats, [[Chat to a Tipsy Spy]] on [[The Singing Mandrake]].
*Seek the pleasures and risks of [[the Honey-Dens of Veilgarden]].
*[[Duelling the Black Ribbon]] in [[Wolfstack Docks]].
*[[Hunting Dangerous Prey]] in [[Wolfstack Docks]].
*If you're at Wounds 2 or higher, spend [[time in bed]].
**[[A dreamless sleep]] will always set your Airs to 0.
*If you're a [[PoSI]], take care of ''Unfinished Business'' in [[Unfinished Business in Ladybones Road|Ladybones Road]], [[Unfinished Business in Spite|Spite]], [[Unfinished Business in Watchmaker's Hill|Watchmaker's Hill]] or [[Unfinished Business in Veilgarden|Veilgarden]].
*Using [[The Censored Census of 1862]].

*[[Stroll in the garden of bones]] in the Museum.

==Notable Ranges of Airs of London==
* 0-25: {{IL|Confound the Constables}} from {{IL|Opportunism in Spite}} gives a choice of either {{IL|Suspicion|-4 CP}} or {{IL|Suspicion|-3 CP}} in addition to {{IL|Infernal Contract|2|Appearance=Infernal Contracts}} and {{IL|Proscribed Material|1}}. Aguably one of the most action-efficient storylet-based ways to reduce {{IL|Suspicion}}.
* 33-67: {{IL|Attend an audience with the Gracious Widow}} from {{IL|Working for the Widow}} gives {{IL|Connected: The Widow|+10 CP}} and {{IL|Jade Fragment|36 x}}. Best farmable storylet for Widow.
* 68-89: Something of a dead range in that there aren't really any good options for profitably cycling your Airs. The following are the best of the worst so to say:
** 51+: {{IL|Prepare the ground}} from [[Hunting Dangerous Prey]] in Wolfstack Docks gives {{IL|The Hunt is On!|Appearance=+3 CP THIO}} without affecting quirks.
** 51+: {{IL|Scout a battlefield}} from [[Duelling the Black Ribbon]] in [[The Blind Helmsman]] gives {{IL|Running Battle...|Appearance=+3 CP RB}}.
** 26-75: {{IL|Arrange a duel outside the Black Ribbon}} from [[Duelling the Black Ribbon]] gives {{IL|Running Battle...|Appearance=+3 CP RB}} and {{IL|Piece of Rostygold|Appearance=20 Rostygold}}.
** 76+: {{IL|Waylay a Weasel-Seller}} from {{IL|Opportunism in Spite}}. Gives {{IL|Lucky Weasel|2 x}} or an {{IL|Araby Fighting-Weasel}} on a Rare Success.
** 85+: {{IL|Deepen your acquaintance with Prisoner's Honey (DREAM OF A TEMPEST)}} from [[The Honey-Dens of Veilgarden]] gives {{IL|Wounds|-1 CP}}, {{IL|Maniac's Prayer|Appearance=2 Maniac's Prayers}}, {{IL|Appalling Secret|Appearance=2 Appalling Secrets}}, and {{IL|Cryptic Clue|Appearance=5 Cryptic Clues}} for 2 actions and {{IL|Drop of Prisoner's Honey|Appearance=Drops of Prisoner's Honey equal to your current level of}} {{IL|A Connoisseur of Neathy Delights}}.
** If all else fails or none of these options appeal to you, you can always use {{IL|The Censored Census of 1862}} at any time for {{IL|Proscribed Material|41 - 55 x}} to cycle your Airs. If not available but you're a [[PoSI]], you can take care of ''Unfinished Business'' in [[Unfinished Business in Ladybones Road|Ladybones Road]], [[Unfinished Business in Spite|Spite]], [[Unfinished Business in Watchmaker's Hill|Watchmaker's Hill]] or [[Unfinished Business in Veilgarden|Veilgarden]].
* 90-100: {{IL|A dreamless sleep}}: {{IL|Wounds|-7 CP}} {{IL|Nightmares|-2 CP}} for 3 actions.'' ''Furthermore, this resets Airs of London to 0, which might be helpful.
* 96-100: {{IL|Confide in the Chandleress}} : From {{IL|Follow a chandler to her workshop}} in {{IL|The Department of Menace Eradication}}: Gives {{IL|Favours: The Docks|Appearance=1 Docks Favour}} for 3 actions.
* 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27: Allows you to use the {{IL|Dice!}} option in the {{IL|Cave of the Nadir}}.
{{Airs table
|Level 0 = Out on the city's edge, zee-bats cry where black waves break on a black shore.
|Level 1 – 10 = A bat zips past, not far overhead.
|Level 11 – 13 = The softest of rains falls in the street: the cobbles glisten like fish-skin.
|Level 14 – 15 = In the street outside, fly-drivers squabble in a half-dozen different tongues: English, French, German... wait, is that Latin?
|Level 16 – 17 = A small child meditatively pings stones off a butcher's shop-window. Eventually the butcher emerges, cleaver in hand. The child disappears with remarkable speed.
|Level 18 – 19 = A shuttered black coach passes. The horses' hooves are muffled with sacking. The crowd falls silent. "The Empress," someone whispers.
|Level 20 = A devil lounges against a lamp-post, picking his teeth with a needle. He eyes you speculatively.
|Level 21 – 30 = Shadows lie still, here where there is no sun to move them. Sometimes they shiver in candle-light.
|Level 31 – 32 = A raven caws, coughs, and breaks into song. Something eighteenth-century? Is that a snatch of a Purcell sonata?
|Level 33 – 40 = The wall here is splotched with luxuriant russet fungus, like the fur of something mythical.
|Level 41 – 42 = Passers-by watch you with narrow eyes. What do they see?
|Level 43 – 44 = Someone speaks your name. But when you turn, there is only a mirror.
|Level 45 – 46 = High above, the false-stars glimmer. Did one of them... move?
|Level 47 – 50 = A window glows with the amber light of tallow-candles. Voices are raised in song.
|Level 51 – 60 = Today, something in the air makes the gas-lamps slink low, burn marsh-green.
|Level 61 – 62 = On the roof-tops at day's end, urchins whistle a tune from Mahogany Hall. One improvises lyrics that would make a Master of the Bazaar blush.
|Level 63 – 65 = Oof! That reek is a tannery. Hold your breath a moment.
|Level 66 – 68 = A glove-maker passes, holding his bag at arm's-length. The contents squirm.
|Level 69 – 70 = The cobbles are slippery with a thick black moss. Your footfalls bruise it, and a scent like fresh Surface rain rises.
|Level 71 – 72 = A cat's eyes glint on a high window-ledge. "What a wretched day," it remarks.
|Level 73 = Stray dogs fight over something in the gutter. A human hand? ...probably just a pork-chop.
|Level 74 – 75 = A barouche passes, drawn by a pair of perfectly matched greys. One passenger, a bearded chap in a top hat, throws his head back in laughter at something his bright-eyed female companion says.
|Level 76 – 80 = A scuffle! A pool of blood! A wild-eyed girl with a knife in either hand! The cry goes up, "a Jack!" Is it a Jack? She's gone, regardless...
|Level 81 – 82 = The light from the false-stars clings to every surface like oil. This is the kind of afternoon when Londoners run mad, shrieking "The sun! The sun!"
|Level 83 = A phaeton roars past! The crowd scatters, the horses roll their eyes desperately! Two tomb-colonists sit cackling in the back.
|Level 84 – 88 = Two costermongers stagger past, roaring drunk, their neckerchiefs alive with the colours of night.
|Level 89 = A portly man sits weeping in the road. "The Menagerie," he sobs, "the Roses. They can no longer grow." A hackney carriage veers round him: "Honey-mazed," the driver sneers.
|Level 90 = A rat runs along an iron railing, leaping each spike like an acrobat. "For the Scuttering Company!" he shrills, and fires his miniature pistol. A raven drops dead. The rat is gone.
|Level 91 = Today, water has a metallic taste. It generally does. But is this a different metal? Copper? Silver?
|Level 92 = A cry goes up: "Thief!" A pale young woman hurdles a barrel and is gone into the endless night.
|Level 93 = A church bell tolls.
|Level 94 = Drizzle is falling all around, like slow glass, or tears.
|Level 95 = A huddled bundle lies in the gutter. Movement squirms beneath a blanket. Rats? Spiders? Black-clad, gloved, masked Special Constables lift it to the back of a cart, and you see no more.
|Level 96 = The wind toys with paper-scraps in the gutter.
|Level 97 = A governess passes with a child on a leash. No! No, only a young woman and a little dog.
|Level 98 = A beetle the size of a boot sits atop a tar-barrel, nonchalantly twiddling its antennae.
|Level 99 = A scowling boy distributes hand-bills. 'MAHOGANY HALL: TONIGHT', they read. 'HEPHAESTA.' 'M. PLEAT.'
|Level 100 = All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.

Q: How do I unveil my Airs of London level?<br />
A: Hover over the airs requirement of an action that requires a specific level of it. Adding one to your plans will let you see it even if it's unavailable.
