NEW CONTENT: the Fruits of the Zee festival!

[thedeadlymoose]

Yeah, I logged on first thing this morning to try to get the guinea pig for my partner at her request. And… gone. I was probably more sad about this than I would have been if I’d lost the chance for my own character.

I’ve actually been avoiding FL all day because of that, which I realize is terribly silly, and I am sure I will get over shortly.

How long should I camp/grind on the island? I’ve been grinding Shadowy (from 97 to 109). Persuasive is 188. Watchful is 124. I just became a Person of Some Importance and got access to the Bazaar-Side-Streets. I don’t know how long it will take me to buy a boat to get back here.

if i remember correctly, the challenges should get too easy(modest - very modest) once you get those stats pass 150+. after that doing social actions to get 2nd chances and a slight increase is probably faster. as for getting a ship, it’s fairly quick( maybe just a few days) if you opt for the basic steam ship AND you previously converted certain items like wines and nostalgia items to the upper-tier items

There was a warning on twitter about an hour earlier I think. But who checks twitter every hour? I mean, apart from people who have actual twitter accounts and don’t just visit individual twitter pages.

[gillsing]

Oh, I knew that the festival was about to end, but a week is a rather large unit of time. I think the Feast of the Rose lasted for about two weeks, but that included three weekends, so it was more like 16-17 days, wasn’t it? Which was certainly generous… and may have set a bit of a precedent. So, yes, I believe that it’d be a good idea to give at least a 24 hours’ notice when something is about to end. That way the unit of time would be down to hours, and well in advance of the actual end.

So I don’t think the information was particularly hard to find. In future, though, when we don’t include the end date in the initial announcement, I’ll add it to the in-game messages tab at least a few days beforehand. I can do that quite quickly and it’s the easiest place for someone to check while they’re playing the game.[/color]

I do appreciate both the warning on twitter and especially future intent to warn people on the forums in the future, since I use neither Twitter nor Facebook.

My apologies for the misunderstanding.

[pornogentilhomme]

Is it possible to return to Mutton island later? maybe after buying a boat? And will the same storylets still be available?
thanks

[caninicus]

Mutton Island is still there. The only storylets that are not still there are the going fishing ones and the Fruits of the Zee ones.

[pornogentilhomme]

Oh…
thank you.

I lost my (Level 9) Strange Catch on the end-of-week reset. No souvenir for me. :(

[roumba]

If the event is over, why do I still have a notification for it in my ‘Messages’ tab?

Edit: Nevermind!

Since the recent news indicates that this will be returning basically as it was except for the quirk reductions, I figured I’d just do thread necromancy:

I see varying claims regarding the general profitability of the Festival. As this is not new content, and I’m still chasing Cider, can anyone advise whether I should head to Zee when this arrives or stay in the Fifth City?

I just got level 9 and gave it to the hooded lady…was wondering if there was anything special rewarded for 9-11 strange catches???

[randomwalker]

Not that anyone found last year, and there’s been no new content. I seem to recall only getting as high as ten, so maybe there’s something to be found at eleven, but it really, really, doubt it.

[alistaircray]

I’ll have to echo an_ocelot’s question. I’ve managed to fish out a Destiny and all unique items for myself (that “projectile” is awesome), as well as reset my Menaces - should I grind further? If yes, which is the better option?

[quote=Chris Gardiner][quote=Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook]The compass is hilarious. An admonition not to do what the admonisher is, at that moment, doing… coupled with a tool that clearly shows the forbidden path to follow by pointing at every alternative path, which cannot be usefully followed except to the very thing it’s pointing away from.

Errr…that’s a 10/10 on the Cryptic Clue scale.[/quote]

Does anyone know what the floor is (or if there is one) for the random variation in Picking the Wreckers Cove? Even at RB9 I can’t get a value of 7+. It is… disappointing.
