Well, I’ll wait for a couple days to make sure there were no mistakes and there won’t be any chance to scrounge a coin or two more out of it and then go for the Egg.
The Scepter is one hell of a mantlepiece, but from gameplay perspective, not being able to grind Feducci’s Lance on top of all the upgraded companions (which I managed none-too-comfortably) stung more.
Anyways, this has been a great excercise in lore-delving, and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I had.
EDIT:
[quote=TheThirdPolice]Hold up a second. The official answer to the ‘Doors of the Bazaar’ included Iron. I said Steel and I am nearly certain I was marked wrong for it. So what about this passage from the game?
> You set off for the Bazaar, bowed under the weight of the tremendous robe. […] The Steel Door swings open to reveal a black-cushioned lift.[/quote]
Hah, would you look at that! I was pretty sure I had seen Steel somewhere. Maybe there is a chance of revision of some of the answers, after all?
Guess we’ll have to wait and see if there is any reaction from the FBG team. :) edited by Aardvark on 8/16/2018
It looks like either Wych Street or Steel instead of Iron for the doors of the Bazaar counts as correct. Because I ended up with 15 Regal Coins and I’m sure I got four others wrong. Unless the Implacable Detective is secretly the Thief-of-Faces, and I got a coin for that, but FBG isn’t revealing that secret. But surely not?
Damn, by my count I definitely got 4 wrong (if I remember my answers correctly - one I may have answered right but I’ll assume I didn’t), but I only got 13 coins - the rest seem to have just been interpreted very strictly.
Then there’s also things like "cats a guardians of What Is and snakes Are Not" - it’s debatable whether "they’re fighting the War of Illusions" (my answer, and I’m probably not alone) is valid or not, as the two facts are very related and might both be considered valid reasons for enmity (provided I didn’t completely misunderstand the War in the first place). I realise that this one might be a stretch - but I can only guess where the other 2-3 points were docked, because I genuinely can’t see anything else actually got wrong.
EDIT: By the way, do the Tragedy Procedures give an actual snippet of lore this time, unlike Lamentation Lock? edited by Dudebro Pyro on 8/16/2018

And since 4+2=6 and 20-6=14, one of those six wrongs is apparently a right. (And I suppose it could be the cats and the snakes fighting the War of Illusions, but the correct answer didn’t include that phrase.)
There are three questions I definitely got wrong (Last February of sunlight, Great Game, key in the Well). Another three were more unclear (Iron/Steel Door, cats versus snakes/War of Illusions, Aldwych/Wych Street). Given that I received 15 regnant coins, this means that one of those three should have been counted correctly for me, at least, which would indicate that one of these is true:
Steel Door was a valid answer[/li][li]War of Illusions was a valid answer[/li][li]Wych Street was a valid answer
[quote=Kaijyuu]So to confirm: The only unique stuff, not obtainable elsewhere with fate or otherwise, are the cat and the sceptre, right?
As a collector I value unique items above money, so I don’t want to miss out on that cat if the 10 coin items aren’t special. (I got 10 coins myself)[/quote]
[quote=Azothi]My experience matches with that of Gillsing’s.

Official word on the Discord is that Steel is correct and got credit.
A side-note: The in-game name of the currency is Regnal Coin, but the item description also calls them Regnal Ketabases. If, like me, you literally never knew such a word existed, check out the link below:
I don’t know why such a thing would be a currency, exactly. But one can see why such things might have meaning to the Bazaar or its servants.
