Hallowmas 2023: The Feast of Masks

The companions available this year without spending fate seem rather … ummm… unimpressive.

I don’t know about you, but I’d like to live in a world where +2 Glasswork and +2 AORTS are unimpressive stats. Also +10 Dangerous paired with a point of KT for good measure is decent.

I have to agree. I’m glad I at least got to upgrade a certain deviless of dubious alliance but the rest have slipped my mind.

I think the best Hallowmas companion set was the one where you were allowed to enlighten a bunch of animals.

The two Clay Man upgrades dramatically improve the main London Cards for reducing Suspicion and reducing Scandal, which is nice. The passive reduction in Scandal/Suspicion build-up may have some uses, too (not now, of course. But you know, AFTER Hallowmas).

One of the options in Saint Dunstan’s Sacristy gives +7 cp of scandal. With any scandal increasing equipment on, you have a chance to get up to an extra 2 cp points from this action (5% chance of +2 with 1 piece, 84% with 2 pieces, guaranteed with 3+). 9 cp of scandal is enough to go from 6+6 (27cp) to 8+0 (36cp), so I suspect this is what happened to you - if that is the case then it’s not a bug. I’ve been using the permanently available +1cp option if I’m ever on 6+6 to avoid this happening.

Is there a thread for asking people if they’re willing to trade confessions?

I will trade a confession of Curiosity or Pride for Whimsy.

I need a curiosity but I misclicked and traded away my spare Whimsy on the St. Elmo. If I can get an extra one again I’ll trade it to you.

Anna, thank you so much!

I’ve created a thread for this year, just so no-one gets confused using the old one!

Sitting at 2314 after some goofs, a trip overzee to the Court and the weekly Board meeting, not to mention faffing around getting the proper Confessions to upgrade who I wanted to upgrade.
The Marigold method sure delivers!

I’ve been wearing the Crown all Hallowmas (on my alt), but something extremely weird just happened.

  1. I notice that my Hat slot seems to be empty. Odd.
  2. I check my inventory, only to discover that the Crown is now missing entirely.
  3. Upon looking more closely, I see that the Infant appears to have materialized somehow.

What [strikethrough]on[/strikethrough]under earth?

Probabl a misclick, followed by some other clicks? The option to ditch your current mask is a top-level Action inside “The Streets of London: Hallowmas.” I would assume you happened to click on it by accident while trying to navigate the Attendants.

That could be right; I did that myself, early this Hallowmas.

Ah! Almost certainly. I don’t know why I assumed it would’ve cost Fate to switch masks (rather than Spirit of Hallowmas, which is what it actually costs). Thank you!


And the Fifth Spirit of Hallowmas! :slight_smile:

Man. I haven’t been focusing all my actions into grinding spirit, but that still makes my +4k look meager.

Cheer up; your 4k makes my 2600 look meagre!

Impressive! I was going to ask how one could end up with such a number given the flat 28 Spirit gain for turning in Menaces, but the wiki reminded me that upgrading companions gives 3 Spirit.
