Got almost all the unique items, except for that d__nable Carving Knife. Still, it’s a nice change of pace to not worry about Opportunity Cards constantly, though it is getting in the way of my Wave Making grind.
[spoiler]I encouraged Jenny to keep fighting for the downtrodden, and kept her confidence. The machination of the Bazaar can be dealt with in time, but the suffering in London must be addressed.
After all, Fallen or not, England must take care of it’s own. We aren’t the French![/spoiler] edited by FireOfUnknownOrigin on 8/19/2016
[quote=Tarantula][quote=Anne Auclair]I’ve had my share of catch valuation reverses. I had to spend over 30 actions finding Miss Plenty at one point. Have had to spend considerable actions dealing with wounds and nightmares. And I’m still having fun.
It’s nice to see more of the Melancholy Curate and the M.I. Chef, the island is nicely atmospheric, the Drownies are interesting, and I really like the quirk mechanics and Sinning Jenny subplot. The fishing is relaxing if you take it in stride. It’s a nice gamble if you try for a very high catch (I tried for 10, failed). The RNG can be sharp, but at its most painful it’s merely a friendly neighborhood version of the Mr. Enten storyline (rather fitting, given the peculiarities of the local mystery cult).
My only complaint is that there isn’t more flavor text when we haul in our various strange catches. Like, the brief descriptions are great, but I want to know more about them. Like, what’s with that spider-fish? Does the Twinkle-Eyed Lobsterman know anything about them? Do they have an entry in a marine biology book? What do zailors say about them? I want to know!
But this is only the second festival, so there is no doubt more to come.
btw, just how much is new in this festival anyway? edited by Anne Auclair on 8/18/2016[/quote]
Third. The third festival.[/quote]
Ah. And what have they added since then, besides the Mayor and new items?
And I think with that, I have fished everything I need from the Zee this year.
Just to make sure I am not missing anything. I got the knife, the cloak, the bottle of goo, the boots, the rector, the wimple, and then the wimple again (Just for grins).
Am I missing anything else? Any chance of something new unlocking towards the end of the festival?

try to get all the lore and the interesting rare successes, like the rant on proper drownies from the one you dance with.
Good luck with the conversion, Anne! Hope it won’t turn into a 6 like mine!
Had some RNG curses, but I kind of enjoy this festival! 7, 8, 9, 11 into 6, 4 into 4, 9 into 7 (yay!), 3 used to cure wounds because the Lady wasn’t willing to show up (more than 40 as I’m EF). :D Maybe the fish you catch aren’t that great or are to "dead" or they’re full of nasty bugs (?)!
There are many days left and I suggest that people don’t lose their patience! edited by Skinnyman on 8/19/2016
If you have stormy eyes and haven’t seen the conclusion to that, it might be worthwhile to grind that up on the usual island carousel, but if you’re looking for profit, stick with the mainland, or apparently Apis Meet.
Yay! One more and I’m done with this festival!
Got an 11 which turned into a 10 which didn’t open any new options. Odexio’s post is very useful if someone has troubles with RNG!

It got bumped down to a 10 :P Which didn’t really matter as the scale only goes up to 8?
I’m going to try for a level 12 if only to see the description.
I think I am missing something… When you recover the wimple the second time you cannot return it the second time (as far as I can see). But the first time you return it, the branch requires you only to have a wimple (it doesn’t lock when you have Encountered the Mayor quality). So based on that, you should be able to return the wimple again…
Sure. It’s nice to have a way to grind quirks up (on challenge failures) which doesn’t simultaneously lower some other quirk.
I wish I could get my Hedonist back up to 14 though; AFAICT you can’t raise quirks too high via fishing.
Finally got all the items in my main! I’m back in London, now. Derek just need to get the second wimple and the knife (not that these items are needed, as he has better ones, but collection). I had a difficult first days, but ended up lucking out in 9 catches (and even got an 11 catch that turned to 8, pretty nice).
Can confirm this after my level 7 catch reduced my wounds from L7 + 7 CP down to L2, after my level 4 catch (from quirk-training) failed to wipe my L7 nightmares. I suspect it’s a simple 5CP per SC.
