The Great Crate Commotion returns!

Fallen London
1

‘UPPER RIVER DIRIGIBLE DISASTER!’ Residents of the Upper River have reported seeing a dirigible in flames – and a slew of crates falling from its hold. The Gazette implores readers not to open any crates they might encounter, carrying a letter from a man at Ealing Gardens who claims that one ‘blew up his whole d__n house!’

To the Upper River’s criminal element, this spells opportunity. The Constables, meanwhile, are furiously trying to get these ‘misplaced’ crates safely out of circulation. The Great Crate Commotion is back in Fallen London. Players with access to the Upper River can help ensure that these missing crates get into the right – or the wrong – hands. At the end of the event, a new Opportunity Card will be added to the Upper River deck, offering the chance to gain Favours with the faction that has amassed the most crates. The event will run for one full week, ending next Tuesday.

Well, time to keep my word and offer the Constables the crates that they misplaced.
As a note, opening a crate now has a new result (crate content 11). EDIT: The result is from last year.

If you’re interested in more info about this event, here’s a nice wiki page which contains info about all living events. :slight_smile:

Not sure how much I will play this since the rewards aren’t fantastic and getting the crates depend on RNG (no I will not spend Scrips to get them, I need 200k for Hellworm).

It’s just for raising your Crate Conveyor vanity quality. It doesn’t really matter which side you support or which side wins.

Which has an amazing description for 777! :slight_smile:
But I agree that a worm is a better goal to spend scrip on.

Yeah, these rewards aren’t enough for the Nightmares and Wounds I got. I might check it out later but it’s a limited event sooo…

if you could 100% checks on cards it’s over 5.5 EpA. And which side wins decides which card you will see in Upper River for a ~year. Not a bad card, but not as good as worm of course.

But the multi-stat checks mean that it also has a pretty high clicks-per-action, which I don’t think is a great trade-off.

I see that this event ended. I didn’t end up playing it (diligently grinding threnodies), I don’t see any historical info on the wiki, and I’m unlikely to be flipping Hinterland cards. So out of curiosity…who won?

Constables won overwhelmingly, surpassing 100% of the target.

I suppose it was a combination of curiosity to see a different faction win, and more useful rewards.

Cool, thanks! Perhaps I will sneak in a quick Hinterland jaunt to see the new card then.

Did you turn in at least one crate? I don’t think you can draw the new card if you didn’t participate at all.

Oh interesting, I didn’t know that, I assumed those cards were available to everyone. As it happens, I did do a couple, yeah, and I got the event over storylet, so hopefully I’m eligible for it to show up eventually. I’ll have to remember to always at least do a couple of plays for living events in the future!

No, that’s not true. I didn’t do anything this time around and I just drew the card.

Edit: Then again, I did play it the last couple times, so maybe I still have a hidden quality from then.
