My “a recent visit to millicent’s” quality from last years feast has yet to clear as well. My rollover was today and it wasn’t cleared with that either so I’m not sure if this is a bug at this point or if I’m waiting until the date I got my tattoo from last year.
Is it only me that the RNG hates? Last week I waited almost 24h before the Feast card appeared in my hand. This week, Lilac is totally snubbing me. Why oh why?
Lilac is pretty fickle. Historically FBG has provided an access code to give people a storylet chance to obtain her card toward the end of the feast for those who’ve been especially unlucky to use, so hopefully that will return this year. I recall both Lilac and the Encounter at the Feast cards lasting for some time after the Feast as well, so don’t fret too much if you don’t manage to get all your stuff in before the Feast formally ends - there’s probably still a chance to at least Encounter your intended companion, and possibly more chances to trade stuff in. I forget when Masquing converted to Making Waves last year, unfortunately.
I’m mainly afraid that I won’t have enough time to build up masquing again by the time Feast card leaves the card deck on 22 Feb. I have two Fate-locked companions to get, and am thinking of collecting more if I can. (Gotta catch them all!) /goes off sulking
Has there been any mention of whether the option to spend Favourable Circumstances to write a letter to Lilac will return? I’d love to see that for Encounters at the Feast as well.
I agree with navchaa. The time pressure isn’t so much on lilac herself as on getting enough masquing. Its been 2 days and I haven’t had a single lilac. Now I’ll be away for 3 days. Which leaves me only 4 days to not only get lilac enough times but also to take account of the fact that sometimes lilac will be a dud as you hadn’t accumulated enough masquing (which you couldn’t do in advance because lilac didn’t appear!). It’s rather frustrating
[quote=Vortigaunt]I was trying to get two of the Fate-Locked companions, Lettice the Mercy and a Gentleman of Undisclosed Business. I logged into my alt and sent myself a 20 Masquing gift of Chivalrous Murder of a Rival. However, using that gift when my Masquing is 30 would increase it to 50. I could buy one of the 40 Masquing companions, but then I would only have 10 left over. I could get 20 more Masquing to get that to 30, but would I be able to get it to 40 again to get the other 40 Masquing companion?
tldr; I should have bought 2 10 Masquing gifts and sent them to myself. Is there any way to trade a 20 Masquing gift for 2 10 Masquing gifts? Should I submit a bug report or something?[/quote]
How about you send me 20 Masquing gift then I send you 2 of 10 Masquing gift?
Got the Feast card for the first time this year and I was reminded of Soap and Sophia, I like those characters (especially Soap), I hope we’ll manage to meet them again in some fashion or another :)
Hello. This is my first Feast of Rose. I would like to exchange some free gifts to which I need friends. Please feel free to add me to contacts and I’ll do my beast to return gifts.
Sounds like the RNG hates us all - I just got the Encounters card once after having seen Lilac five time yesterday. I actually was coming to check that the Encounters was still working when I drew it!
But, like TeslaWalket and at least another person on the forum, I can’t get my second Tattoo. (my Recent Visit to Millicent has not reset)

Like Robin Mask, I have seen and used the Lilac card plenty, now I just need the Encounters card. Haven’t seen it a single time. ARGHH.
Yes exactly. Even though the three cards are ubiquitous frequency, they don’t show up at the right times to make it work out within the magic week. I won’t be as fussed if it’s all free to play stuff, but when fate and real money are involved, things change. This after all only happens once a year. (And of course I will cease the complaining once the RNG smiles on me again.)
/goes off to gnash teeth
My first Feast and my first dip into the forums. Very happy to give and receive gifts this year. Please do get in touch if you would like to do so.
I have been constantly flipping cards since yesterday, and so far, 1 Lilac (used it to start the Tattoo quest) and 0 Encounters at the Feast…
(T_T) <-That’s me crying
I’ve also been pretty unlucky lately. I failed a 50% challenge 10 times in a row earlier today. And I haven’t seen Lilac once. :shakehead:
The "An Encounter at the Feast" card has Frequent frequency at the moment, as does "The Lady in Lilac", so you should see them more often than any specific regular card (on average, that is).
(And "The Feast of the Rose" card is with Ubiquitous Frequency, so you should see it a lot.)
If I remember correctly from past years, the cards’ frequency will increase as the Feast gets nearer to its end.
Just to be clear, does the The Lady in Lilac card appear everywhere?
I seem to recall reading some text that says she avoids some places like Ladybones Road, but I can’t be sure.
Any suggestion on must-have companions, storywise? I don’t really care about stats, for now.
I’m ready to trade non-Fate gifts. :)
I don’t remember any story options for the ones I got from last year. Only the diplomat had an option at hallowmass which was a new content(NPC confessions). I don’t think it was impactfull. I think people usually get them for the fun of it. of course this is for non fate ccompanions. I don’t know about fate locked ones. Statwise I think there are best non-fate, non-profession companions. But you can get some companions with same stat for persuasive from the bazaar.
