[quote=Robin Alexander]I’m having the same problems, but also I can’t seem to use any of my possessions outside of London at all?
Unless it was a glitch; I tried in Waswood, my base-camp, reflection of my laboratory, and even my laboratory . . . in the end, I had to go right back to London to use any item on my inventory (annoyingly I didn’t have enough to up-convert, making it a wasted journey). I’m sure you used to be able to use items in those places, outside of storylets before? Or am I misremembering?[/quote]
Maybe the base-camp, but I’m sure not the rest of them. They added the Coffee storylet to the Lab specifically because you can’t use items in there; they only removed it because entering/exiting is now free. Perhaps you’re thinking of the outfit locks? That used to be locked in more places, but was opened up for the lab and base-camp.
Almost all items should be useable in the Upper River. The one exception is Favourable Circumstances, which seems to have slightly buggy behavior. It makes sense that it can’t be used (it’s used to draw cards that only exist in London), but the feedback is opaque.
