Limited Actions...

[Zeure]

So... I've been going over it quite a bit in my head, and I'm having trouble sticking somewhere...

I've seen that there are jobs that are limited based on the amount of taint you have, and I've HEARD of jobs that are limited based on how much Infamy you have, but I can't recall having ever seen one.

What actions are limited by infamy? Where are they? What is the 'cap' to still perform them? Can we form a list of any of the limited jobs here? I'm mostly interested in infamy, since I can't recall having seen them... but we could knock out the ones based on taint too. Hell, we could knock out the ones based on too high of an honor too while we're at it. Anyone got anything to add here?

I understand there's a random encounter with the guards, you can't simply just 'show your papers' if you have over 10 infamy.

And I feel like I've seen it every now and again..

There are only three that I know of (two of which are Random Encounters):

Study with the Monks (Great Wall of the North Mountains). Max Infamy 100, Max Taint 100 (also consumes Favor of the Brotherhood, which are a pain to get)

Encounter: Guard Checkpoint (Castle) - Present your travel papers. Max Infamy 10
Other options:
Browbeat guards with your authority (Req; Badge of Authority or Writ of Authority: Magistrate)
Sneak past the checkpoint (Req; Stealth 10. -2 Honor)
Detained by the guards (30 Fate, 3 koku. -2 Glory)

Encounter: Occult Murders (Castle) - Cooperate with Authorities. Max Infamy 50
Other options:
Take over the Investigation (Req; Writ of Authority: Magistrate, Rumor & Slander)
Use the Kitsuki method (Req; Kitsuki Technique, Bloodspeaker's tools & Lost Mempo)
Cover up the Crime (Req; Stealth 40, Poison. -2 Glory, -10 Honor)
Detained for Questioning (32 Fate. -10 Glory, 2 Infamy)

Were a pain to get, Shokuma-san. The refugee related missions in the Winter Court at Kyuden Otomo drop many of them and I have now exactly a 100 of those favors to spare after emeralding all three missions.

[Shokuma]

You must have been a lot luckier than me on the drop. I got a total of 7 Favor of the Brotherhood from mastering both actions (which, if the rate remained constant out to Emerald, would give around 56).
These jobs are also likely to disappear when the Winter Court does.

[Tamori Manji]

Ahh yes, only two jobs. For some reason I thought there was three... guess I was too sleepy while writing that. Still, my actual drop rate was better because I've only mastered Study with the Monks after I've helped the refugees, which means I got 110 favors of the brotherhood out of it (160 clicks total, that puts the drop ratio somewhere along the lines of 0.68 for me).

To keep the thread from derailing, there are also the following jobs, all located in Reihado Shinsei:

*Pray for Enlightenment - Max Taint 1, Min Honor 1000

*Study the True Tao - Max Taint 1, Min Honor 500

*Practice with the Kenku master - Max Taint 1, Min Honor 750

*Humble farm work - Max Taint 1

This means that once Tainted, you can no longer obtain the Enlightened Soul.

Oops, I forgot about the Max Taint jobs. In addition to the ones Manji has identified, there is also:

* Train at the Hidden Moon Dojo - Yogo Shiro. Max Taint 1

* Earn Favour with the Witchhunters - Shiro Kuni. Max Taint 1

* Gain favour with the Hare Clan - Shiro Usagi. Max Taint 1

* Negotiate for x Marriage. Max Taint 100. 9 currently (including Imperial)

* Impress x Parents. Max Taint 100. 9 currently (including Imperial)

* Marry an x Bride/Husband. Max Taint 100. This one really only counts once, since it locks all other instances out when you perform one.

* Find a Matchmaker - Toshi Ranbo. Max Taint 100

* Search for the Iron Citadel - The Forgotten Tomb of Fu Leng. Max Taint 100

* Explore the Iron Citadel - The Forgotten Tomb of Fu Leng. Max Taint 100
