Has anyone attempted to collect these, and if so -- what's your preferred method?
- enter the Nadir with the Airs of London at exactly 24 and try to draw "a card game," then get your Irrigo to 8 before using it
- try to draw "Sartorial squeamishness" and sell off a Ratskin Suit each time
- sell your soul repeatedly to the gentleman devil friend (...quite time-consuming to get it back)
- look for it in bundles of oddities with values close to 100 or 200, through fishing with the Fisher-Kings, "one's public" card or piracy on the high seas, etc.)
- a combination of the above, since all of them have quite a bit of downtime, for card-drawing or time the healer
I'd include manufacturing Searing Engimas but that just seems improbably difficult and rare!

You guys do understand how Mr Sacks works, right
Traditionally, he takes. he takes, and he takes, and he takes. in the original tales, before these christmases, they returned nothing- though only one visited then. Even now, not counting the favor of the masters:
#1 takes a bottle of wine worth 2.5-5 echoes, and returns a bit of honey, or takes a bit of honey and returns nothing. or he takes scandal, which i'm sure he has a use for.
#2 takes valuables of most sorts- though your good name is left untouched, should it be offered- and returns little but knowledge. even the pail of snow returns less than the pail is worth.
#3 takes, and returns nothing.
#5 take irrigo, or dreams, and returns things that are real- but of inferior value regardless.
#6 takes sedition and tales of romance, and returns nothing.
#7 takes opinions, and returns favors. perhaps one that truly gives gifts. perhaps not- he only responds well to flattery.
#8 takes wine, and returns little the first time. later, both sides are more generous.
#9 gives himself, and by doing so returns a little closer to life
#10 takes the storm, and gives rags in return.
#11 gives, to those who stand with him
#12... is gone. you're looting the corpse, or not looting it. there is no reflection of sacks' spirit here.
He only gives if you give something worth more- to him, if not in true value. There are, of course, exceptions, but even those... sacks eaten takes a little leverage on the world from you, mr. sacksh gives knowledge he knows not it's value, or else rats.
The bazaar, perhaps, celebrates another way, but not Mr. sacks.

No, this one is traditional. It's been around since 2013. hopefully the aquaintance: heptagoat won't remain traditional, because if it is, then i know what every day left is going to be:
23: aquaintance: heptagoat (completely useless, except to tell us heptagoats exist. yay. might have some benefit for all of the 1 people who own one.)
24: meticulously altered stocking (+3 watchful foot equip that sells for 40 echoes in shreiks.)
25: marvelous feast (vast reduction of wounds, nightmares, refreshes 10? [might be 20] actions, removes irrigo, gives 1 second chance of each type, gives ? cp of watchful, shadowy, dangerous, and persuasive. kills unnaccountably peckish. requires 2 actions to consume.)

I think what Optimatum means is that the outcome where you get 3 Devilbone Die for your soul also sets Intimate of Devils to 20. Once it's at 20, the cards that let you reduce it stop appearing -- there's no way to get it lower again, I don't think. The letter that sets it to 0 won't appear either -- well, that last part I'm unsure of. The wiki says that card will appear if you have Intimate of Devils 1 and your own Infernal Contract, but that doesn't quite make sense; we'll have to check if it has a max Intimate of Devils limit.

Incorrect - the quality remains at 20 even after you recover your soul, as I stated before. I've sold Gloria's soul several times, the first time being with the Intimate Devils, and she now has both her Soul and her Intimate Devil quality intact.

I first sold my soul to one of the Intimate Devils and later regained it through the fate path (then promptly sold it off again). Around a year and a half later, I've never once seen that card and my Intimate of Devils is still solidly at 20.

Same here. It's different iff you sell it to a non-intimate devil, but otherwise it cannot be sold to them repeatedly. They will bother you again if you don't sell it to them when you sell it the first time, but after you sell it to them once, they'll leave you be.

Confirmed: "a letter arrives" that can reset your Intimates quality if you sell your soul requires Intimates 1-17. So yeah, if your Intimates goes to 20 there's no way to lower it, through the fate path or otherwise.
