I'm looking to get all 3 accommodation upgrades to 5 card homes, from the 4 card ones I already have.
Now I looked at the normal way and I have to have picked a specialization, not just have the 200 stat, so that's out, I won't be doing that, not until the ability to change specialization goes in, or paramount presence is unlocked.
Can I still get the wicket to get them to 5?
Assuming I don't need to have specialized for the underhand method, I've got a little snow, I'll get more, I've got tears, I can sniff them, I'm level 10 corespondance.
So, think I can make it?

We really should ask more on the forums. There seems to be a recurring theme of asking and then getting goodies from the advent calendar!

In an unrelated matter, where did I read that it is common lore to have been visited by a Heptagoat carrying a flask of cider at the eve of Christmas?
Will we get 1 Heptagoat and 1 Cider from advent this year?

No, there's a quality called aquaintance: the heptagoat, which is only availible now. There's no other way to get this quality, but i believe it serves little purpose- perhaps it'll add... something... for nitebrite, who already owns one, but there's no free heptagoat, if that's what you meant. that would be silly
Yes, of course 
A joke. Since that was the second time someone proposed a gift and it was given that day.
Though NOW it will not happen for sure. Thanks, Grenem. Now we have to grind 7 Ubergoats.
:p

Might I offer a bit of a correction regarding the Intimate Devils? When you sell your soul to them, the quality goes up to 20 and will never fall. If you sell it to another devil, however, they'll send you an opportunity card expressing their disapproval and that will reset the quality back to zero.

You're asking how can you achieve the 5 card lodging in the Neathmas event and how many pails do you need?
Lets see:
1. Start with 2 pails (you should have 2-3 by now). Convert only one using monocle. You have now 3 ToL. Do not do anything.
2. Wait for additional 1 ToL (maybe one from the advent, definitely from Mr. Sacks at the 12 days of Sacks). You now have 4 ToL.
3. Immediately convert another pail using monocle. = 7 ToL.
4. Mr. sacks gives another 4-5 ToL. That's 12 ToL. But the 5. lodging Bazaar = left with 3 ToL.
6. Convert another Pail using Monocle = 6 ToL
7. Reduce 1 ToL at the wicket for a small prize (don't remember the option's name - try the wiki) = 5 ToL
8. Convert another Pail with monocle = 8 ToL and another 5 lodging.
So that's a total of 4 pails for 2 lodgings.
Another conversion of 2 or 3 pails will raise you again to 7 ToL for the last lodging. It depends whether you are left with 0 ToL or 1 ToL. Can't quite calculate it without additional information: Will we get 1 ToL from advent this year? Will you buy the fur robe and get 1 ToL instead of 1 Pail? Will you become a doctor to get additional 1 ToL from Mr. Sacks?
But the first steps I wrote guides you to have two 5 card lodgings (the expansive two - will you choose the one which cost 7 ToL and not the 9 ToL?) for 4 pails.
6-7 pails for all three of them

Why wait? 3+1+3 = 3+3+1 Any ToL from advent isn't likely to be capped is it?
I've seen the advice to wait in other threads, but never the reason why, so I'm not sure what I missed.

Robin, you'll have no trouble reaching nine. Use today's advent calendar to take you to 7, then use the Mr Sacks cards to reach 9 (and higher!). You can see which options on the cards give taste either on the Christmas guide posted here on the forums or by looking at the wiki entries for each card. Do note you can't use pails to raise your current level further without a dread surmise, which I wouldn't advise doing anyway as you risk wasting your pail.

You are right. You could do that. Only be advised: If you reach 6, you can not pass it with monocle any more. Only if you have 4 or 5 (it'll jump you up to 7 or 8. But on 6 it will not jump you and you are dependent on ToL from Sacks. Or from Dreadful Surmise - but that's only 1 per pail and not 3 per pail like the monocle, so it's not the best way to raise you ToL unless you have to reach the high numbers.
Did I read correctly you achieved 6 ToL WITH today's advent? You won't be able to jump to 9 with the monocle, watch out... It'll waste your Pail
