But enough talk! Have at answering previous questions!
Is anyone else having trouble with a) the lantern card in Heists b) exchanging society favors in her majesty's court? They now do nothing for me, apart from wasting one action.
I just tried the Call in Favors in the Empress Court one and yes, it's busted. It seems the redirect storylet is costing you an action and not actually letting you see the storylet for trading your society favors.

Ugh! "steam boldly" in the unterzee is also affected. This is going to make seal-hunting a lot harder, and I'm already out at zee.

Why do the ambitions (or at least Bag a Legend) go in increments of one and then jump to 10s (90, 100, 110, 120, 130)?

Does anyone have the latest available estimate of the size of FL content in words? Approximate to an order of magnitude would do.

Finally got around to the Last Constable storyline, and when you start the preparation the Constable
[spoiler]she asks you to steal Cantigaster Venom and adds:
The Last Constable wrote:
[...] unless you happen to have venom of your own, this is the only way. Which made me wonder, if you do have some Venom, does the story give you an option to use it or at least acknowledge it in any way?
EDIT: and 30 seconds after writing this post I went to do the actual heist and saw the option to use your own. I'm still wondering whether the Last Constabled acknowledges it if you have it, though.[/spoiler]

I remeber some promotional blurb claiming FL had something along the lines of a few million words (might have been "two million" or "five million" or something). That was a few years ago, but I doubt they added an order of magnitude's worth of content since then (even counting Exceptional Stories). I will never be able to find the actual source though, sorry.

A blog post from January 2015 placed the count at "about 1.5 million words".

Is there a reason why Greyfield 1879 can't be traded up like every other first tier item on a crafting path? And follow up, what's the best way to grind '82 at low (<40) levels?

I suppose it's because it's basically garbage wine. You can trade it up with the A Presumptious Little Opportunity card, but it requires absurd amounts.

If you still have the Honey-Sipping Heiress in Veilgarden and can get to Persuasive 37+ and Shadowy 27+, there's a four-action loop where you share a dangerous dream, take her to two parties, then steal from her, yielding 21 Bottles of 1882 and 44 pence of other things. Otherwise, there's telling jokes at the Singing Mandrake for 4 Bottles a go, although if it comes down to that you should probably come back later to whatever's asking after Wine.

So. My current set of Shadowy gear has always given me +71. But suddenly, as of sometime today, it's now displaying as +70. As far as I can tell none of the gear has changed stats. Anyone else having similar issues?

Older stories use consecutive numbering and later stories leave gaps; Failbetter began doing this in case they ever want to go back and add additional content. In the case of Ambitions, the first sections were written in the early days and the second sections were written after the change.

It's because Greyfields 1882 functions as the first tier Wines item, with Greyfields 1879 effectively being tier zero. Mysteries is similar with two bottom-tier items (Whispered Hints and Cryptic Clues), though that category is weird in general.

Both. Changing outfits doesn't fix it either, though my other outfits are the stats I'm accustomed to.

So, if you're away and don't complete the silly little make-work storylet for the exceptional story for a particular month, your chance to participate in it is gone forever? Even if you've paid for it? Is there a reason that it's like this? I guess I'll start cancelling my subscription for the months I fancy taking a break or am not going to be here.

You should definitely cancel your subscription when you're not playing, yes. Or otherwise, mark the last Thursday of each month in your calendar as Exceptional Story Day and unlock it right away. It's what I do when I'm subscribed.
Regarding the story you missed: contact support, they're usually very understanding with this kind of thing. Just don't let it happen too often
