I sincerely hope this one doesn’t suddenly start talking. It’d be Paisley all over again.

Hovering over the luggage slot in your profile gives this message “Luggage items are found throughout London, including in the Bazaar Sidestreets”
So has anyone found luggage items anywhere apart from the Sidestreets?

Well than, I’ll have to see for myself! A Gaider’s Mourn crew will fit very well for me I think.
It’s only a matter of time, statistically speaking. All it takes is one too many trips to Polythreme, perhaps a shipwreck or two in that general vicinity, and it’s going to start speaking on behalf of all your intrusive thoughts.

For now, there isn’t.
does anyone know if the bizarre crew is in polythreme? I am out of actions at the moment.
From the patch notes, there are only two Crews for now.
Since they don’t form a ‘set’ of stat increases, I think it’s a safe bet a few will be added here and there over time, but that they’re in no rush. Probably we’ll get them during other holidays and such. And I suspect once we get to the Roof, somehow or other there’ll be a Starved Crew option somewhere in there, or down at the Embassy.

Overall, this update has been great for my stats, but oof my +2 Shapeling Arts
For context, the Winking Gemstone Ring and the Helicon Amber used to be a glove and clothing respectively, so I could wear both at the same time. Since they’re both adornments now, I can’t. (Made more rough by the fact that both were strict BiS before.)
I’m not actually upset over this - I had a feeling this would be inevitable given the disparate things that could be considered “jewelry”, and it seems like most esoteric skill items avoided being overlapped. Looking at the full patch notes, it seems like the only other case of this comes from the Strangling Willow Ring overlapping with the slug and campaign buttons?

No. The Respectable Luggage (the Slick Suitcase) has +Insubstantial instead of Inerrant.

This actually does represent something of a problem in my opinion. If we assume a situation where someone, say, already had the pendant, then spent fate to get that ring specifically for the added SA bonus, then the devs have now basically gone and retroactively invalidated the basis for that purchase, making the ring potentially next to worthless from the player’s point of view.

Oh pretty please, let’s open the floor to the discussion of retroactive fate point refunds.
Seriously, it would cost FBG nothing to give me back the points effectively pickpocketed from me by the Shroom Hopping and Tending to the Needs of a Plant… cards (among many, many, many, other early game fate grifts).

The PC loses 5000 (5k) rostygold on failure of that check.

I think this is a fair perspective, although if the devs were to provide compensation for this, I’d rather it be in the form of a new +1 Shapeling Arts glove (or a +2 adornment?) that you can get from a storylet that unlocks with possession of the ring (and the pendant?), rather than from a Fate refund. Seems a lot less complicated to navigate considering that the ring is an Incarnadine Robe tradein rather than a straightforward Fate purchase.
Edit: Copying my thoughts from Discord:
While a +2 adornment sounds nicest at first glance, it does effectively create a 120 Fate BiS item, which is not great vibes-wise.
Thinking about it again, I think a +1 glove or clothing would be adequate, since anyone who invests Fate in BiS should do so with the understanding that new esoteric items come out all the time. What’s being addressed here isn’t that we’re losing strict BiS (normal), but losing a slot/item (not normal).

…And after I get the rustygold. Which will probably take multiple days…
…ah. oh well, nothing to do but, well, do that.
Right now my plan is to just try and get all the luggage. Just in case! You never know, after all.
The +Bizarre luggage costs a ton of Warm Amber… I can’t be arsed to figure out the Bone Market right now, so I guess I’m camping out in Helicon House for the next few days!
