Which Except. Stories use rare items/qualities?

Fallen London

A Trade in Faces
Uncovering the Secrets of the Face-Tailor.

Blemmigan Affairs
Mask of the Rose. But I think you can still buy it at that point.

Can’t quite sure whether the Cut with Moonlight is required. It shares the same icon with this ES’s event development quality. I think probably there isn’t. Unless my memory is twisted by the moonlight.

115 Muscaria Brandy. (No, that’s not worth it.)[/quote]A stain, ey? Seems I missed that opportunity! :(
But many thanks for the incredible list! :D

43

Let’s revive this thread with a WIP sheet that I made.
Blue cells require extra attention, but any extra details are good! You can check Flint P1 to see what I’m talking about. Any help is appreciated!

44

Little bump for this ES!

45

There’s one option unlocked with being a member of the Young Stags.

46

Great!
Fast scrolling I saw that there’s an option which requires a Volume of Collated Research. :)

47

My Kingdom For A Pig has yet another load of rare unlocks! Off the top of my head: Pirate-Poet, Calendar Code, any Fidgeting Writer item, In Search of A Stiff Drink, and The Gift all unlock alternate options with different text; the stories also change the text based on the ending. Being a Doctor, Poet-Laureate, and Blemmigan Hat unlock options with extra rewards.

Corsair Hat? What is that?

Corsair Hat? What is that?[/quote]I believe it’s referring to the Pirate’s Hat from the Bazaar, which you can use to play with the children by pretending to be a pirate, if I recall correctly.

50

TIL &quotcorsair&quot is another word for &quotpirate&quot. We learn something new everyday, as they said.

51

The Frequently Deceased also has an option that uses the Exquisite Toy, in case that hasn’t been mentioned yet.

A corsair ( French corsairs - Wikipedia ) is technically a privateer with the blessing (and acting on behalf) of one country (France). They could/would be considered pirates by countries that are/were enemies of that country.

I have updated the sheet, but I have a few questions:

  1. The Gift and Calendar qualities refer to endings of the story or just some parts?
  2. Come to think of it, do all ES quality requirements refer to parts of the story or just the ending?
  3. I couldn’t help myself and after a quick scroll, do I understood correctly that there are options for any OR several OR all Fidgeting Writer item? If so, are these requirements self exclusive (picking one cancels the rest)?

[quote=Jermaine Vendredi]The Frequently Deceased also has an option that uses the Exquisite Toy, in case that hasn’t been mentioned yet.[/quote]It’s added in the sheet, but as a mutually exclusive option: Starveling Cat OR Exquisite Toy OR Broken Toy OR Hand of Glory.

  1. Can you confirm that you can only pick only one of these options?

EDIT: Thanks to Reddit, it seems that the new ES has an interesting quality requirement as well! Being an Oenologonaut (House of Chimes quality)!

re. 4:
It’s been a while since I played that story, but if I remember rightly, the items come up during interaction with the children; this is not a one-time event. The toys are actually mentioned in the discussion of the story on this site – I went back to check in the Intense Notary’s list.

55
  1. Both The Gift and Calendar Code unlocks differentiate between endings, though I don’t know if there are separate options for the endings or if it just changes the text within one option.
  2. The only option I had visible appeared to be unlocked with all the Fidgeting Writer items, starting with the Glimpse of Something Larger (as that’s the first one where you’ve met the Writer in person). It’s possible that the unlocks did something more complicated to only require one, like the PoSI specialization option that unlocks with just one of the Parabola-Linen clothes.
56

Closest to Revolutionaries seems to be a bonus in The Shallows.
Horsehead Amulets will be very, very helpful at the end.

Romantic notions, silk and second chances will come in useful.

Anything else should be added for this month’s ES?

58

The Committee had a use for Closest to: Great Game.

59

Por Una Cabaza has options for:

[spoiler]

  • Newspaper[/li][li]&quotTwo urchins in a trenchcoat&quot mysterious benefactor[/li][li]Heart’s Desire[/li][li]HESPERIDEAN CIDER

[/spoiler] There may be a couple others I’ve forgotten.

Vermin-free and Sympathetic to Ratly Concerns come up as well.
