Why 50 Fabulous Diamonds, though? Because it takes 20 Magnificents to make one via the Beth Hotel Manager? Even 5 Magnificent Diamonds would be the equivalent of one top-tier item. I guess 50 pushes it up more into Overgoat range of earnings?
NiteBrite recalled a rumour of 50 x Fabulous Diamonds unlocking Paramount Presence in that thread.
Hereās a fun rumour: as suggested by the item-storylet itself, thereās a very rare failure when you pay a Nerveless Jeweler to split up a Fabulous Diamond into 25 Magnificent Diamonds. Or is it a failure? You do presumably get 2000 pieces of shiny gravel, and perhaps something else? Boy, youād sure need an uncertainly huge amount of Fabulous Diamonds to find out!

I donāt doubt thereās such a rumor, but I doubt FBG would do things that way: That would be an awful lot of Fate to pay for the privilege.
Even donāt believe the rumor, and Iām the source :P
Woo! Got my soul back for the first time! (after having a regrettable encounter with a certain Deviless oh so long agoā¦)
Fabulous Diamond #1/50, here I come! ^_^
This thread is a bit old, but challenge accepted!
As soon as Iāll be able to get some Fate, Iāll go for the Soul Trade and start the grind while doing something else.
Edit: Scrap this comment. I was entirely wrong!

Wait, you donāt need Soul Trade to sell your soul for a shinny diamond?

You donāt need to have done the Soul Trade to obtain Fabulous Diamonds, although it does provide a couple of other action options when doing the Fate-locked method of regaining your soul. Admittedly, Iām not sure how those options compare with each other as Iāve not bothered testing that extensively.
(My goal is to be the first to 50 Fabulous Diamonds, not to document the most efficient path to do so. :-p )[/quote]

A little while back Cecil asked me to screenshot some stuff. Iām still in the process of doing that (just waiting for the right things to come up, and to have enough Fate to finish the task.)
But, thankfully because Iāve done the screenshots, I can show this:
Sorry for the confusion! I done goofed. :(

Huuu, you scared me!
Anyhow, I see youāre already at your 13th and Iāll probably start pilling them up in ~1 month or so. If none is working on this achievement, I guess youāll be the first.
Unless someone throws "some money" to buy them all ASAP. In any case, letās seeā¦ :)

Sorry 'bout that! Yeah, I removed the text about saying that I was aiming to be the first, because it felt like a bit of a dick move discouraging other people from attempting it too. :-) (Then I realised that Iād given bad info and so edited my entire comment to show as much instead.)
Oh, itās a City Vices card! No wonder I havenāt drawn it since I finally got my soul back. Anyone know the rarity?
While this thread is old I appreciate it being dug up as I was unaware of these āCrystal Lodgingsā. I am adding this to my list of grinds.
It will be exceptionally difficult for me as I will never sell my soul due to role-playing reasons.
I think itās either Infrequent or Very Infrequent. Itās been a while since Iāve checked, but I donāt remember it being Standard.

At this state, itās just a rumor and I doubt itāll be more than that pretty soon, but it is an interesting pursuit!
And I find it funny considering your Mantelpiece! :D

^ This, entirely.
It is most certainly NOT confirmed in any way whatsoever. :-)
For all I know thereās nothing at the end of this, aside from having 50 Fabulous Diamonds. But, only one way to find out!
Yep! :-D
Unusual frequency.
I just drew it myself after only a couple hours of living in a conventional lodgings but completely forgot to check the frequency! Good thing you caught it.
