Holy moly, thanks for pointing this out. No more chitinous slabs of hardened night for me.
Edit: This is PERFECT for the new brawling storylet in the blind helmsman. +1 dreaded and +1 MA is a godsend for the Hunter of Nightmares option, which grants the highest amount of progress at +17.

darn, I just converted a bigger amount of scrip into echoes in order to get closer to my ubergoat (~1200E missing). Seems like once that is done I will have to grind alot of scrips. :D

Finally, the Sprightly Mariner has another profitable reason to beat the living daylights out of random strangers.
Fabricator of Past Lives starts at 1, which is a shame because I’ve done a few already
Excellent to hear that Shark-hunting has been made on par with other endgame activities. It used to be weirdly inefficient on a number of levels…
Now, to go hunt that Snark!
I imagine such qualities are basically impossible to implement retroactively, since there up until now there was nothing tracking them…

Aren’t there qualities that require having done a certain number of now-tracked activities? Some progress at least could be awarded on such a basis.

[ul][li]The branch “A little personal instruction” was withdrawn from the Cheesemonger storylet.
[/li][li]Playing cards with urchins in the Upper River now recognises players with The Marvellous.
[/li][li]Adding a withered tentacle to a skeleton now gives -1 Antiquity regardless of whether the attempt succeeds or fails.
[/li][li]More conversation has been added for the Lackey of Mr Fires (or your own Lackey) if you have one of these installed as leader of the Tracklayers.
[/li][li]It is now possible to reappoint a Lackey of Mr Fires / your own Lackey as head of the Tracklayers’ union after having switched to someone else.
[/li][li]It is now possible to get January elected as a head of the Tracklayers’ union if you have already made her a member of your Board at the GHR, and as with the Lackey, she has her own conversation available.
[/li][li]A small amount of additional conversation has been given to Furnace Ancona when you speak to her as leader of the Tracklayers.
[/li][li]Previously, depending on the order in which the player tried things, it was possible to miss getting a proper introduction to Cornelius before appointing him leader of the TLU. This has been remedied, and the new story beats in question are available from The Next Stretch of Track at Moloch Street.
[/li][li]Going through the Great Mirror at Moulin no longer grants “Glowing Viric” or sets the living story “Viric Fades”. This prevents players from unwittingly resetting the living story by repeatedly going through the mirror. It will still reduce Glowing Viric to 1 if you had it at 2.
[ul][li]Players who got into a state where they had Glowing Viric but not the living story, as a result of past bugs, should have seen the living story trigger now.
[/li][/ul][/li][li]A new social act, Tea at Beatrice’s, is now available at Attend to Matters of Society.
[/li][li]“A Record of Successful Forgery” and “Dream-Trophies of Parabola” now have quality level descriptions.

The Companion in Amber has +3 Bizarre, +1 Shapeling Arts, and has an opportunity card with upgraded value. It can still be brought along to Helicon House and other places where a Boneless Consort unlocked options. (Note that this option is available only if the player has at least one point of Shapeling Arts to start with.)

[color=#ff00cc]9 April - A Memory of Discordance is now merely a Memory of Discordance - The account settings page rubric no longer refers to StoryNexus. - Category separators in the outfit quality filter dropdown should no longer go missing when the first quality in a given category is selected. - Opening your profile from the Myself tab should keep you logged in. - Links to specific journal echoes in a character’s profile should bring you to the echoes they’re linked to, instead of the most recent echo. - When logging in via Google fails unrecoverably, the login page now displays the information we can glean from Google about how this happened (which may help support tickets get resolved more quickly). - September has been given unique art.[/color]
Not sure if it’s related to the latest patch, but I just noticed that I can no longer delete entries from my journal. Bug or feature?
I’ve seen some discussions about this problem. It seems a fix was to tick the "remember me" box when you login. If you don’t, it seems the game cannot check it’s actually you who’s editing your journal. Didn’t test it myself though.
Cheers

[ul][li][color=#ff00cc]The branch result for becoming A Person of Some Importance no longer has meta text suggesting the Bazaar is “introducing new items on a rolling basis,” which was several years out of date.[/color]

[/li][li][color=#ff00cc]Using Mithridacy to examine a Disquieting Missive now correctly increases Mired in Mail.[/color]
[/li][li][color=#ff00cc]Old Exceptional Story hubs, and the first slet of old Exceptional Stories are now located in an Exceptional Library, reached from your Lodgings. If you play any of each story, they will still be located all over London. [/color]
[/li][/ul]
I’m gonna guess the new Exceptional Library is prep for Metempsychosis. After all, if we get to replay old stories when we do that, there’s gonna be a HUGE pile of stories to play, which can’t just clog up every London location.
No replaying - finished stories are not shown there.
So, it’s just a bit of tidying the place - once I had 5 ES activated but not finished, and it did clog up the place.
They did say that your new character would have access to all the Exceptional Stories that your old character had done.
