The running theory I’ve seen right now is that Running Battle is converted directly to Strange Catch, and that when Strange Catch is converted to Picking Through the value ranges anywhere from half to the full original value.
Does getting Sinning Jenny’s Wimple a second time have any other effects, or is it just for the sake of getting that item?
Question: I got Strange Catch of 8 but when I go to trade it, it went down to 5 and 6. Is that on purpose?
Yeah, there’s a random element to cashing in Strange Catches.
It’s a random decrease. You won’t always get 5 or 6 from a Catch of 8. But sometimes you will.
Giving Jenny her wimple back leads to uncapped quirk changes. The first of the three choices at the end of that sequence gives a Steadfast boost up to 15 (don’t know how much since already had it at cap) and a heartless decrease.
You can’t get it again. The option requires not having An Encounter with the Mayor Of London.
Do any of the Jenny options give any unique items, or should I just hang on to her Wimple?
What are the wimple options, exactly?
Could you please guide me about how exactly I trade Wimple?
My thought process went something like this. “Oh, hey, a new suite of Zee-rewards, to celebrate Zubmariner’s upcoming release. I guess I could give my characters one each, and save the most useless or disgusting one for Doctor Taup- WAIT IS THAT A HISTORIOGRAPHY KNIFE I WANT A HISTORIOGRAPHY KNIFE FINALLY A CHANCE TO USE MY DEGREE.”
When the RNG deigns to smile on you, you’ll have the option to trade in the wimple to the Mayor. The Mayor will take you to the lighthouse and discuss how her term in office is going - she’s concerned that the Masters are using her efforts for their own ends.
You can either advise her to stay the course, or to oppose the Masters. I didn’t notice any qualities changing whichever you choose. When you leave, you’re ambushed by a reporter. No idea what happens if you sell out or take a bribe to stay schtum, but if you keep quiet you get a quality and a Favours in High Places. No unique items.

So far, I got Cloak and Boots. Now, onto getting Effluvia and Wimple, and my hunt for unique items can be done. I am still considering getting Rector, because I have Reactionary Tomb Colonist from Election…eh, that’s kinda bonus.
Unrelated question, can anyone confirm is there an option for Hedonist when you return Wimple?
@ responses to my question.
Thanks for the responses. Hmm… I’m not that thrilled with burning Partial Maps for lucky draws. I’m thinking of sitting this Feast through unless they also provide a decent way of recouping those items.

The trick is to do a run with just quirks, and then trade that catch in with the Curate or the Chef. Either one will give you the items you need for the high-investment runs, and will effectively wipe either Nightmares or Wounds (depending on who you choose) to boot. It isn’t a bad system.

This festival is eating my action points, so I can’t check in a hurry but:
I think there is an option that gives partial maps, zee stories, and map scraps. It’s a good way to recoup what you lose, or to gain enough to use (for new-comers without such items) . . . I think it sacrifices your catch, though, but you can always use said items to get another catch.[/quote]
I am sure I got one partial map earlier, and I think it was rare success on some of the options that require…Watchful? I am pretty sure it was Watchful. And it didn’t consume my Catch.
Has anyone chosen to tell all at the end of giving Jenny back her wimple? I’m curious about the rewards, thank you.
Someone told me you got a Magnificent Diamond. This is second hand info, however, so someone might want to confirm.
So, I had a catch and had unsuccessfully cycled the airs a few times before bed trying to find the Hooded Lady to cash it in. This morning, I’ve already used 38 actions and am still holding this stupid fish.
These mechanics are pathetic.
You have a 15% chance to meet the Hooded Lady, so statistically speaking, roughly every 7 tries. I know the feeling though. I’ve also invested about 20 actions recently only to give my Catch to the Chef because my Wounds were dangerously high.
41 actions, still waiting
EDIT: in ten minutes, I will be able to turn it in with 43 actions spent this morning, plus an uncounted number last night. Then I will limp back to London to lower my Wounds from seven and my Nightmares from nine.
Now I remember why I detest this festival.
