Thanks, that’s what I figured but it’s good to have it confirmed. I’d hate to buy an Incarnadine Robe with Fate and not be able to use it on anything.

On the one hand, I’m disappointed that we seem to have run through the Masters’ generosity, and I’ll now have some extra Fate even if I buy the other Frosted Debenture. On the other hand, getting this reaction from the Unctuous Attendant was almost worth it.

Nice! I’m getting close, but I’m wondering if you had to get the Mr Eaten gift to get that response.

I don’t have the Eaten gift.

I thought we’d get a snowball every week? Shouldn’t we get one today?
If you mean being Snowbound, that’s tied to TtH.
Oh. Thanks.
(ok yeah it’s a “pail of lacre” I was just imagining like a bucket of snow and my mind somehow registered it as “snowball” 
)
Reminder for anyone who would like to build a Noman but forgot to plan in advance: we will have a last minute chance to shop for Vials of Tears of the Bazaar at the Rat Market on the Dec 20-23, Dec 27-30 and Jan 3-6 weekends.
We can already restrict which items will be sellable at the Rat Market on Dec 20th: the only demands which won’t be in cooldown will be Inscrutable (Incunabula, Chimerical Archives and Cartographer’s Hoards), Intricate (Unlawful and Crackling Devices) and Saintly (Reliquaries and Hagiotoponyms).
I’m hoping for Intricate, since I just sold 40 seven-headed Birds at the Bone Market this week, and I’m sitting on a pile of 1k Balls of Stygian Ivory which can be exchanged for Crackling Devices in the Khanate…

Unfortunately, the Rat Market rolled everything else except for Intricate Demand:
Newly-available this week: Uncanny incunabula, Cartographer’s Hoards, and Chimerical Archives.
Newly-available this week: Dreadful Surmises, Distillations of Retribution, and Mortifications of a Great Power.
I guess I’ll be Barristering for Mortifications then.

Any advice for Doubled Spring? I have resources for ~200 pails of “snow” (142/200 are teased out of urchins at this moment) and looks like I have a lot of spare time in December. Should I aim for higher number or it’s already too many? I also have 183 Tears. Same question, should I get more from Ratket or not?

Not really sure as I’ve never tried for either the tattoo or the doubled spring, but there are some estimates of whats needed on the wiki:

Edit: Don’t forget that the pails go away after January so the vials sound more important

What is today’s Advent gift the so called Deconstuctive Lens? Can’t seem to find it (in my possessions or equipment) or about it (in the Wiki)…

How festive! Today we get the splinter of glass from The Snow Queen.
It wasn’t on the Wiki yet because it’s never been seen before. We collectively have absolutely no clue about it beyond what you care to speculate.
It’s not equipment. Check your Luminosity items.

142 Pails and 183 Tears should already be way more than enough to keep your Noman alive until Whitsun.
Around 100 Pails + 100 Tears can take you to 2800 Noman’s Friend on average, which is a safe target. In theory you can be extremely unlucky and break every Vial early, but in practice with such a large number of Vials the probability to miss the target is extremely low.
Since the Pails will otherwise go to waste, you might as well apply all 142 of them, together with 80 Tears for the same result.
If you don’t mind spending the rest of December buying Pails from the Urchins, you can also aim for 200 Pails+50 Tears.
Tears can still be used to give a lesser boost to your Noman after January, so you can keep the remaining 100+ Tears to use as backup in an emergency. You’ll still have enough Tears left over for the 2026 Noman

Quick question - is there any way to sell/any use for repeat items like Scandously Buttered Scones? I now have two of them, as well as a few other repeat items, one from this year and one from last year.

Just two week ago they added options via the Unsanctioned Relicker. He hangs out in the Medusa’s Head, one of those sub-locations near Watchmaker’s Hill. Three of them are pubs, this is the third one.

I don’t think anyone’s brought it up yet, but what’s to happen now that we’ve passed a year with the Scar Under Skin quality?

The Scar under Skin storyline reached a conclusion at Hallowmas, so I don’t expect anything new.
My guess is that the Scar storyline will repeat itself identically in 2025. Maybe it will be only for new players, maybe the story will be reset for everyone.
We should find out later this week!
