If you're already at Taste of Lacre 4, you can likely make it to 9 depending on your Sacksmas choices.
[spoiler]
Day 2: Most options here give you Taste of Lacre (romantic misery / pail of snow / eery air / a little of the '68 / my good name).
Day 5: Identifying with the Celestials in Veilgarden gives you Taste of Lacre (Take this dream of skies untainted)
Day 8: Inviting Silas in gives you Taste (Invite him in for wine and cold meats / "Silas! You rogue! Times still hard?")
Day 11: If you're a Notary or a Doctor, you can gain Taste (The door of its crimson carriage swings open)
Day 12: Taking advantage of Mr Sacks gives you both Taste and a pail of snow (Take advantage of the situation)

Additionally, on Day 9, accepting his hearts and lights gives you a pail of snow.

[/spoiler]

Between all of this, it's still definitely possible to reach Taste of Lacre 9 despite all the used buckets.

Hello, is the Thoroughly Cowed Pony still available? I know it is fate-locked, I just want to make sure it is still available. Which day do I have to take the fate option?

You'll need to wait for your next "Snowbound!" and pick the 30-Fate Unexpected Visitor, which will grant you the Incarnadine Robe with which to visit the Masters. It think it's Mr Veils, but at a glance the Pony Icon and the "Transportation item" description is the one you're looking for.

Docks, Widow or Duchess give ToL the others only give a 312.5 Echoes item; the three I mentioned give both. The Rubbery Pal is a Rubbery pal

Here's a guide about the 12 Days. It has information about each day's ToL, Master connection and investigating option.
While here we have information about the Incarnadine Robe's items.

And some cheers to Rupho Schartenhauer who wrote this great guide, but also keeps it update for 3 years already!

Nothing new in the wicket it seems. Guess I will take my surmise and stay at 26 lacre. One day...

Hi! I decided to go for Melicent's Noman just today. It seems I will have 12 Taste of Lacre today, and not so big on pails right now (5 pails). Stockpile of Tears, though, 20 or so. And sufficient materials to just keep buying pails up to... 15-20 pails in the end. Which is more preferred, then - buy Noman at 12 price, or pump Taste of Lacre some more and buy Noman at final price at the latest days?

Just a note: when resolving the Fate storylines,you are likely to earn favors as well as other rewards. Make sure you have space for those!

Well my Twelve days of Mr Sacks is stuck at 3. Probably a RNG issue.

This, unsurprisingly, buggers my chances of getting into the Wicket quite solidly.

It's not the Wicket closing that is a problem it's that you need 12 on your Mr Sacks Quality and I only have 3 so I can't get in.

Yes, of course. But I wanted to know when the wicket closes.

As for your problem, hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Don't the probabilities of the cards appearing shoot through the roof with time?

And another question: having concluded all my sacks-visits, is there any way for me to fine-tune my lacre level? I need to get from 4 to 5 so that I can monocle a pail and get to 8. Going up to 7 first and then coming down to 5 seems the most obvious way, but all the options in the wicket take 3, so it seems a bit tricky. Is it even possible for me to do this?

The "Take the air" and "Search the shore" options both drop Taste of Lacre by 1 on success or failure, despite requiring 3 to unlock the option. So if you raise your ToL to 7 and use each of those options once (or one twice, obvs) you should be at 5 and ready to use the monocle again.

Excellent, thank you! And how long can we expect the wicket to stay open? For me it's a question of whether I'll have enough time to grind materials for two more 4-card lodgings.
