Patch Notes

Fallen London
515

Well, the methods to acquire them (for example, artifacts at the Prelapsarian Museum, which also gives out 12.5 e items) put them on value with other 12.5 E items, (or 25 Scrip) so it wasn’t entirely unusual.

Making them sellable feels like a mercy to players who collected a bunch of them in the hopes that they would be useful some day. At least now there’s a way to get the value back out of them.

      • Balmoral woods

I wonder if we will ever be able to build scorpions. Or wasps. Not bees of course, I am not asking for bees.

The Jet Black Stinger looks like the back half of a primordial scorpion. But I can’t put it on a skeleton and declare it an insect.

Just saying.

Scorpions are arachnids, not insects, and yes, you can already build an arachnid with a tail!

That’s what I get for not looking up the taxonomy first…
The wasp thing still stands though!

522

Actually, insect skeletons can already have up to four wings in addition to the six legs, so that is taken care of as well

EDIT: after diptych’s comment, I realized for the first time that you meant the lack of stinger-tail on an insect, not a lack of wings. Your point stands!

Put the jet-black stinger on an insect skeleton, then use a knife to remove the length of the tail between the torso and the stinger. Boom - stinging insect.

How about one for the Boon/Burden slot?

530

Wouldn’t it never be visible? Those slots vanish from the UI if they’re not filled, so you can never see them empty, at least as far as I know.

Yep, same reason there’s no empty slot icon for spouse or club. Only un-equippable slots get the treatment.
