Those first two definitely imply there’ll be another lifeberg sometime, maybe even soon. (After whitsun?)
Drawn from discord:
6th May
- Lab:
– During Red Science experiments: edited branch titles and text on April’s card to reflect her expertise - Removed the Free Evening gain from declining a wedding invitation, as it was open to abuse (and made declining weddings more profitable than attending them!)
- Zee hunts:
– Changed how the difficulty in advanced skill (Zeefaring and Monstrous Anatomy) checks are calculated. They now take into account both Zee Peril and Elusiveness of your Quarry, like the highway stat checks. Raised the difficulty floor to 4 and lowered the ceiling to 14. Made the curve less steep.

- On the Criminals, Constables, and Hell faction cards, you are no longer locked out of choosing a new profession based on choices made in certain early game stories.
- Similar requirements remain on other professions in other cards, but those are generally tied to having encountered a storyline at all, rather than having chosen a particular ending, so it isn’t possible to completely lock yourself out of them.
- Tier 3 Profession items like the Cosmogone Spectacles now reside in their own slot, Tools of the Trade. You may need to reload the game and/or adjust your outfits.

- There is now an Accomplishment quality for dying at zee. If you’ve died at zee before, you will have to die at zee again to get this quality.
- It does not count how many times you’ve died at zee, so don’t feel compelled to die at zee 7, 77, or 777 times.
- The Duchess no longer regards name-dropping as a worse sin than lacing her unmentionables with catnip. (Trading on your connections in ‘A Talkative Cat’ while on a heist now costs substantially less Connected: The Duchess.)

Patch notes - 4 November
- If you parted bitterly with the Artist’s Model or Jewel Thief, you can now use Fate to mend relations via ‘Send a Message to a Contact’ in Your Social Engagements.
- It is now possible to dismiss the opportunity cards for the Artist’s Model and Jewel Thief less permanently and bitterly.
- Gaining CP in advanced skills in various places now requires you to have at least one base level of the skill to begin with, rather than counting equipment modifiers. (Though modified levels still count for unlocking the affected branches.) It was previously possible to, for example, learn the fundamentals of the Red Science simply by drinking improbable amounts of tea and thinking really hard while wearing a sufficiently fancy hat. This is no longer the case.
- Raising the caps for the advanced skills now consistently requires you to have maxed out the relevant skill first.
