I’d love to exchange non-Fate gifts–this is my first Feast, but my character has been around for long enough that they have plenty of resources to share.
"The recipient can trade this for 1 Masquing, up to a limit of 30." This is what’s written in the description of the ushabti on the feast storylet, but Lilac gave me 2 masquing for it(and it said it would give me 2 masquing, not one)
I wrote to FBG about this earlier. W’ell see what they respond tomorrow.
Mission accomplished.
Now how in tarnation did you accomplish that, Optimatum?
Also on another note, I have now learned you can get An Intimate of Devils even when soulless through the masked revel
Please refer to my guide here.
Your frustration is shared, but I assure you, it will show up.
And yes, Optimatum, do please share how you obtained both the Firebrand and the Missionary.
Last May or so, there was a rather strange bug for a few hours, where all cards with lock conditions - but no unlock conditions - were available to all players. The initial Secular Missionary card only locks with Intimate with a Secular Missionary, so for those few hours the card could appear for everyone. (The initial Firebrand card locks with his Intimate quality, but it also unlocks with C: Revolutionaries 5, so it was not affected.)
That first Secular Missionary card of course sets Intimate with a Secular Missionary to 1, so in that brief period of bugginess her story was reset for me. Fortunately the card linking her with the Firebrand is unlocked with sufficient progress with the Missionary rather than the Firebrand, and the option doesn’t require exactly 10 for his quality. Thus I was able to reset the Firebrand’s quality as well, repeat the Nadir expedition, and choose the Missionary this time around.
A pity I wasn’t able to do all this before the bug was fixed, or I could have restarted the story again to get a second Missionary and see if that patch event for the 30 Missionaries is still around.
I’ve mostly left the forum alone for the last month or so, so I’m unsure if this has been resolved elsewhere, but is anyone else experiencing an issue with canceling gifts? You were once able to gift someone an item, have them decline the gift, and then the item would be placed into your inventory. Whenever I try the trick with non-Fate items now, though, the gift disappears completely. I want to be sure as to how this works, because I was looking for a few high-masquing companions but I don’t want to waste the fate on fate gifts if they’re just going to dissipate into the aether.
This only ever worked with Fate gifts.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the correction.

Update: FBG have responded that this was indeed a mistake - the Ushabti should be exchanged for 1 x Masquing, not 2.
I’m still available to exchange non-Fate gits, having ground Romantic Notions enough for a racy volume or two… Or three :)
[quote=DrLight]is anyone still available for fate-locked gifts?
What are the best ones for a newbie (all stats about 70)[/quote]
I’m available to trade fate-locked gifts.
No. Just a case of spiteful RNG. The first time i drew cards after the announcement for Lady Lilac, she showed up. I didn’t even look at the tatoo story in Ladybones’ Road.
Even the "Intrigues of the Clathermont family" story makes fun of it: "She lurks in the Opportunity Deck, although she appears to have a talent for evading the attention of those who desire her most."
Nice crack in the fourth wall Mr. Gardiner. That thing is load-bearing.
By the way, i am still open to trading some last-minute non-fate gifts, if anyone needs some masquing.

Just to clarify, this isn’t a fourth wall moment: the Lady in Lilac will not appear in Ladybones Road if you’re drawing there. And always draw from a place with few location cards like the Forgotten Quarter.
She actually appears in Ladybones. I’m there all the time grinding for Valuable Secrets card and got the card a few times.
This has been a lovely Feast season…would love to tie it off with one last 30-Fate trade, message me in game, please.
[EDIT] Fate is now depleted, thank you for the messages one and all.

I finally got my first tattoo, a very enigmatic one of a invisible city. In doing so, I encountered a pop culture reference, some bizarre, and a lil specially enigmatic thing.
This lady would very much enjoy exchanging gifts, but is unable to send any gifts that are fate-locked.
Could someone confirm for me that a recipient rejecting a gift sends it back to the person who sent it? I wanted to check before I attempted it this year.
It still works.
