During Elections, you got one free gift, and you could choose between one related to your candidate, or one related to your campaign-profession. During that first election, I believe a lot of people selected the latter because at the time the Watchful boots were best-in-slot.

And the boots (Wax Hardened Boots!) were worth every Echo I didn’t have to pay for them. (Not that you could find them in the Bazaar, mind you.) Sadly, between the Language of Laces and the boots from The Place Where They Bury the Bodies, I don’t wear them much anymore. I’m okay for security, though: I have a bunch of Rubberies guarding my base camp in Parabola.

That’s because you are not in the base camp, but the reflection of your laboratory. I made the same mistake. Pick the leave option, there should be a advance to base camp option in it. (:[/quote]
Ah! Much appreciated ^^
Where can one find Nightsoil at the Bone Market? I know that the Bohemian Card (unlockable with 0 Respectable) can give Surface Blooms for St Fiacre bones, but I don’t know where to get the Nightsoil needed for the Lab upgrade.
Nightsoil can be acquired by a rubbery purchaser, which needs Bizarre 3.
Thanks.
So after checking the option, the rubbery will take Rubbery Skulls and Pulsating Ambers for the Nightsoil.
If you trade with the Pulsating Amber, you get 130 Nightsoil. As a result, you will need 4 Pulsating Ambers to get enough for the Lab Upgrade.
The lab equipment upgrade after the explosives will definitely divide the haves from the have-nots :D
For most people, the cost will be a working rat, 5 Devilbone Dice, 10 Justificande Coins, and 1,000 First City Coins. Even when I was grinding Airag through the Portly Sommelier card for the Noman’s tattoo (enough to get 20 Vials of Tears), I’ve only gotten a fraction of the amount of First City Coins now needed. The best bet is to ask someone with Heart’s Desire for help, since they can generate coins as long as they have less than 77 based on my knowledge.
However, for those who have the Shoshana’s Neathly Tarot from last year’s election, it seems that they can bypass this requirement AND keep their Tarot Deck. I haven’t reached this point yet, but never before have I been glad to be a supporter of Shoshana until now.

Oh, that’s awesome! I’m so so glad I backed her!
Oh, thank you! Indeed I had picked the boots.

I, uh, don’t think I back Shoshana, so I will require the assistance of people undertaking Hearts Desire.
Currently I have 33 First City coins and no Justificande Coins.
Also I have like, 1 Dice, and that’s it.
God, almost everything you do in Parabola is cruel. Capturing the Storm Bird is cruel. The things that happen to weasels and goldfish are cruel. Your attitude towards people is cruel.
Not that Surface academics are much different, but at least the humanities do not include that much animal suffering.
Yes, welcome to the new endgame where everything is hard and cruel!
Love it, just love it!

The Storm-Birds deserve it. The fifth Storm-Bird I caught managed to raise my Wounds to 8 after repeated attempts (with second-chances and max dangerous) to catch it. Glasswork isn’t hard to raise, but its very difficult to mass-produce Parabolan Fruit to max Toxicology.
Besides, like a passing dream (which it literally is), it will fade with time.

If it makes you feel any better, the Storm Bird is a thief. Lots of things happen in Parabola, but apparently Whirring Contraptions are not one of them (Bessemer ingots seem a bit of a gray area).
I do have regrets about Bob the Goldfish, though. Bob II, technically… I still have the original Bob, but he hasn’t been the same since that one Hallowmas. Maybe Bob III will meet a kinder fate.
Ι caught the Storm Bird at first try with 10% chance and zero Glasswork so I had no idea about its past mischiefs but… thank you for your encouraging words, everyone. I will try to be extra nice in real life today to balance the mood.
It may just be frustration but i have to ask, is disambiguating an eolith at 1 toxicology actually 50%?
Those are the odds it gives but i’ve tried 10 times and failed all of them, is this just bad luck or something else?
It’s probably just bad luck. As far as I know, the given chances are accurate to the actual chances. The game probably isn’t lying. Luck is luck, sometimes it acts weirdly

But…the cruelty is realistic for the Victorian era, which is what the Neath is largely still in, despite some technological innovations provided by Hell. And FBG has spared us the gruesome prospect of having to steal and cut into human corpses to learn about human anatomy, fo rexample.
Yeah i can believe that then, just wanted to confirm it. Got real confused after the constant failures.
Wait…where do you get Bessemer Steel?
