CHRISTMAS IN THE NEATH: A GUIDE

All of them, or a just certain ones? More specifically, I was hoping to do the University story.

[quote=Scienceandponies]All of them, or a just certain ones? More specifically, I was hoping to do the University story.[/quote]I believe every investigation that costs 12 Fate offers +2 Taste. For maximizing Taste, the University is a bad option. It doesn’t offer extra Taste and you lose out on Taste by using the University option on one of the days.

Umm… where do I find the urchins to buy more Buckets from?

I can’t seem to find them. Are they an opportunity card? The Wiki page is… not helpful, as all I get is a survey thingy and some blank spaces.

You can buy buckets on the Urchin opportunity card, for seven storm threnodies and a night-whisper.

Okay, so I want to get the Brass EMbassy Five Card and The Royal bethleham five card, but I have a hard time understanding how to do this. Can someone provide a STep By Step Guide for idiots for me and more importatnky WHEN to do it? I already have two Putting The Peices Togetrher and 3 Buckets and I don’t know wht to do. I also have a Dreadful Surmise and a Monocle.

How did you get the lacre? I have 3 buckets of so-called snow and no lacre at the moment.

I’m still hesitating to convert my snow into lacre because my SoTC is 8 (temptingly high, yet not enough for a sure win). Yet, the urchins card in my hand is staring at my expectantly. I’ve also sold my soul and wondering why on neath did I do that seeing as I’ve plenty of NWs and STs.

first a note: This knowledge is not based on experience but based on obsessive research :)
You will need 6 point of notability for that and to be completely on the safe side scholar of correspondance lvl 10.

If you have ToL2 now, use your monocle twice and it will get you to ToL8. Do this before getting any other ToL because monocle takes you from 5 to 8 but wouldn’t work if you have 6. After that wait for Mr. Sacks, you can get 4 ToL from him. and 5 if you are doctor or notary. Get one of the lodgings when the wicket open on 6th of Jan. use your monocle on the pails again to advance your ToL. If you come to exactly 6, take the air in wicket which will reduce your ToL by one. Afterward using the monocle will take you to 8 like provious time.

I hope I could explained what I know.

I DON’T KNOW IT WAS JUST THERE

But seriously, the ony thing I can think of is I somehow had 2 left over from last year, because I had it before the release of this. But I don’t think you can HAVE leftover Putting The Peices Together. I’m honestly as confused as you on this one, but hey I’m not gonna turn my nose doen to free PTPT.

I can confirm that PTPTTOL lasts the whole year. This is likely because you can spend it in the Nadir to get Tears of the Bazaar year-round.

Indeed. I currently have PtPT:TToL 13.
Nothing much left to spend it on (except in the Nadir, but I consider that not worth it, as there are other ways to get Tears).

So I examined my first pail of snow with the lens at SoTC 8 - failed the first time. Failed the second time. The RNG hates me. Sob.

And on my third try, I succeeded. It also raises my SoTC by 1 CP.

You have to pick the right choices. There are some guides around. I think there is a link to a guide in the first or second post in this thread. You can use the wiki for guide.

I highly reccomend that you start farming stuff to buy snow as soon as possible.

Speaking of farming to buy snow, what is a good way to gring up connected: urchins?

So I followed the guide… dipped a soul twice on the lacre. Did the Semiotic Monocle thingy, and then basically lost all my ToL. To make it worse, I tried getting some back with my Tears of the Bazaar but it only showed a phrase or two about the lacre.

Basically, I lost all ToL, and one of my prized vials, and I feel extremely miserable.

Thanks FL. =V

Taste of lacre isn’t equivalent to Pails of Lacre. There’s another quality tracked for it. I have both currently visible in my profile.
