New Research Experiment: Scintillack Snuff

Implemented around 12.00 pm GMT of June 20.

At this time of writing, Consignment of Scintillack Snuff is only available through a Fruits of the Zee festival reward. If your character doesn’t have it, well, you are going to have to wait until August - and possibly spend Fate since the original source has been retired. Or someone in the hinterlands somehow has this, come June 26. (The fluff text for the option to manufacture consignments of the stuff strongly suggests so.)

Wiki page here. I am working on this.

In case you are wondering, no, you don’t get to use Knob of Scintillack to unlock this. There is a reason for this.

Your character apparently needs to have enough Knobs to presumably refine into stuff that is good for a huff.

UPDATE #1: The Shitty Student, despite giving you a Knob of Scintillack Snuf when you graduate him, doesn’t seem to have any option regarding this, at least when he is at level 1. I am going to level him up to see if he has anything.

UPDATE #2: There are no complication card for this project - even with the Shifty Student. I was expecting there to be one - but then, that would have made the student even worse than he already is.

UPDATE #3: This… could be a fluke. I had one of my characters use a Shifty Student from level 1, for I had spent some actions churning lab research prior to getting him and I am loathe to waste these. I used the Shifty Student 4 times - all four times he leveled up on the successes. There is no different text. I tested this again with another character; successes seem to automatically upgrade to the level-up version.

UPDATE #4: The above is indeed a fluke.

UPDATE #5: April takes Scintillack Snuff, by the way.

Well, granted, he’s not the most promising youngster to ever graduate from my class, but I think that’s a little uncalled for.

I love typos, me! :)

I swear that it was not intentional when I wrote it the first time around.

When I made the edits, I noticed it. I left it there. This is intentional.

It may not be why I visit the forums, but it’s undoubtedly a reason I stay…

Its kinda sucks, you know? I hope we will get a source for this item soon and without fate.

I seem to have had a Consignment from somewhere, though I can’t have done Fruits of the Zee since 2017.

The Shifty Student &quotfilling his nostrils with argent fire&quot (!) does go some way to explaining his poor academic performance…

It is available to but for Fate at the festival of the Zee. You might’ve gotten it that way.
