It looks (to me, at least) like the double Advent benefit issue may have been resolved. Pity, really - an extra mountain-sherd would have been nice. :)

Indeed. Well… was nice while it lasted.
It must have been simpler than they realized, because I can’t imagine releasing a significant update to the login system, of all things, on December 20. But I definitely did get 2x Taste of Lacre yesterday and only one Mountain Sherd today.

[color=#00cc33]Mr Sacks has begun its rounds! Each day for the next dozen days a new storylet will appear in London, containing festive frivolity, Neathy presents, seasonal stories and the threatening aura of the Crimson Beast of Winter. Offer it gifts and earn rewards![/color]

[color=#00cc33]Then - after the Twelve Days have concluded - Penstock’s Wicket will open, giving you a chance to spend any Putting the Pieces Together: the Taste of Lacre that you’ve accumulated over the festive season. This is a chance to acquire various rewards, including unusual lodgings and perhaps even your own noman (briefly).[/color]

[color=#00cc33]Mr Sacks and Penstock’s Wicket will be available until late January.[/color]

[color=#00cc33]Seasonal salutations, stay safe, and see you in the new year![/color]

My character is celebrating Christmas with a new job! My pseudo-speedrun from account creation to a T3 profession is complete in just under 19 days, coincidentally concluding right on Christmas morning! If any friends of yours need a few loose ends tied off this holiday season, remember to give them the greatest gift of all.
At the rate we’re cycling Bohemians into honey, how long can it be before someone notices and starts yelling out “Prisoner’s Honey is BOHEMIANS!” in public?
I’m having the bohemians paint pictures of tigers. The Court of the Wakeful Eye is all covered in art at this point.
Fidgeting Writer: "We’re…we’re all honey?"
Mr. Spices, raising a cocked gun from behind: "Always were"
You realize, of course, that this will inevitably lead to the mass production of paintings featuring tigers playing cards?
It appears this year we can investigate with the Bohemians. Interesting!
Happy holidays, fellow Neathizens! Has someone reached the end of the Bohemian assistance? Could said somebody tell me whether the new companion is Best in Slot in anything?
Wait, what’s this about bohemians, honey, and a new companion?
(I’ve been holed up in the laboratory for the past few days, other than brief emergences to talk to Mr Sacks)
Quick question, the “Stick with what you know” option on Day 4 of Mr Sacks is available to me but I’m pretty sure I’d completed the investigation last year and got the item at the end, so shouldn’t it be locked? Or is it just open for everyone regardless?
I don’t know, but I don’t believe any of the other rewards are best-in-slot, so it seems unlikely.
[quote=Huey]Happy holidays, fellow Neathizens! Has someone reached the end of the Bohemian assistance?

It’s all about the new companion and the lore! :)
It’s open to me too. Since I’m not a Fate spender that’s the only available option to me, in addition to ‘Keep your plans to yourself’.
I’m not sure if I finished the investigation last year, because I was newly registered, everything was a blur to me.
How unfortunate that no love is shown to non-Fate players.
It sounds unlikely, doesn’t it. Thank you for the prompt replies!
(I think I never had either Fate or the chance to investigate in the past years, having dropped out of the game for years, so I didn’t know that was the case)
11 days out of 12 isn’t bad, is it?
I don’t know, but I don’t believe any of the other rewards are best-in-slot, so it seems unlikely.[/quote]
The reward for (from?) the devils seems to be best affiliation for Dangerous.
(That said, there aren’t that many affiliations, but there are tons of companions, so a best-in-slot companion does seem rather unlikely at this point.)

But then again, their options on day 6 and 10 aren’t mechanically exciting and getting a duplicate unsaleable Affiliation won’t help in any way, so there isn’t much reason it needs to reset, I suppose.
