I have the cane and goldfish to keep me from entering a menace zone immediately. And considering my luck, I’m not relying on the RNG to get me the menace-reducing turnin options before I’m killed or driven made cycling the Menace-raising airs.
You can lower wounds by eating Rubbery Lumps.
At 1cp an action admittedly.
I have the progress in Mutton Island too high for that now. The wound-reducing action now raises Nightmares.
Mordaine Barimen’s problem raises an interesting point: I’ve noticed that if I play lots of Sights-related options relatively fast, Sights tend to change only very little. It seems not to be completely random (example: If I have Sights 30 and immediately try again, chances are I get Sights somewhere around 25 to 35 on the next action. Not always, but often. It might just be observer bias but I’ve still adopted the strategy of waiting a few seconds before trying again.
Has anyone else noticed a similar effect or am I just getting mad from too much spore toffee?

@Robin/Mordaine/rahv7: You seem to suffer from the RNG’s extreme disfavour. I recommend sacrificing a few bats or weasels on your irrigo shrine (you have one, right???)
;);)
Honestly, by now, I’ve given up any calculation. I spent more or less 20 hours on the Festival, with only short trip back to London to pick my Payment up. I just wanna find that Wimple and get off the Mutton for a while. RNG is seriously on another level of cruel here.
Guys, you know that successful fishing is all about being patient, right? ;)
I’ve not actually been all that unlucky, I am only missing one reward. I was just wondering if somebody else was noticing a similar "issue" with Sights. Apparently not, so I guess it’s all just in my head… :)

can you stack your strange catches?. like fishing multiple times to get more strange catches. are the old catches will be replaced with the new catches ?
edited by Snado on 8/16/2016
Old catches get replaced. But if you choose to throw it back you’ll keep half your running battle, letting you build up to higher catches.
oh ok. that was a very very VERY quick response. gonna go fishing.
another question. i have the hooded lady option at the festival. does the “sight of the carnival” quality randomizer get changed when you fish ?. i want to cash in my reward without raising anymore menaces.
Hi, nobody seems to have mentioned the option to release a clay man? I came here to see what might happen if I do. It requires Picking through Wreckers Cove 8. Has anyone else encountered this option?
Yes, it changes. The randomiser that determines which quirk challenges you get when going fishing is the same that determines which options you have at the festival.
Yes, it’s an old option and unfortunately doesn’t give you a clay companion but instead one Strong-backed Labour + some Sworn Statements. It’s not that bad but nothing unique.

Thank you. I obviously didn’t do that well before as I never saw it in previous years! Thanks for letting me know what happens if you choose it,
Not sure whether this is new, but you can get the Wimple a second time now. Not sure whether there’s another follow-up either, but the text seemed to suggest you get to keep it this time.

So, you get to meet the Mayor again, then?
Just found that I kept track of my quirks for last year’s festival; handy to see what my best options are.
These were my quirks at the end of last year’s festival:
Austere 5
Daring 10
Forceful 5
Heartless 1
Hedonist 11
Magnanimous 14
Melancholy 7
Ruthless 24
Steadfast 12
Subtle 30
My current stats (I am 1 Approaching Journey’s End away from Mutton Island):
Austere 6
Daring 9
Forceful 3
Heartless 1
Hedonist 3
Magnanimous 10
Melancholy 10
Ruthless 22
Steadfast 5
Subtle 19
Subtle sure took a plunge the last 12 months…
Wow. What happened to all your quirks? Did you have to feed them to a Noman?
At least 7. Running battles goes directly to catch. And catch is randomized (But not more than it was originally) when you exchange it for a prize.
