Does offering others gifts, then cancelling no longer net you the gift that was to be sent? I tried it with a couple of items but can't find them in my inventory.

I think this was only implemented for fate-bought gifts.

Can someone confirm that this still works for Fate-gifts?

Gracious Widow -- Midnighter gets Perfumed Gunpowder.

Cheery Man -- Licentiate gets a Devilbone Die, which are rare but not exclusive to this event.

Bishop -- Crooked Crosses get a Justificande Coin.

Sinning Jenny -- Monster Hunters get a Knob of Scintillack, which are not exclusive to this event.

At the end of the third dream, you get a Magnificent Diamond regardless of dream-spouse or Profession.

After a few days, I finally was able to explore all of the high-tier Profession options (Midnighter, Licentiate, Crooked Cross, Monster-Hunter) across the viric dreams with one character. I can't say it was worth it, but I have a lot of items and Scheme to spare.

For completionists, I recommend only going for the Bishop of Southwark -Crooked Cross pathway and the Gracious WIdow - Midnighter pathway, as those have event-specific items. Unless you REALLY want scintillack and a devilbone die, don't switch Professions to Monster-Hunter or Licentiate if you are not one already.

There is no new gift this year.

The text indicates there's a number of other names in their catalogue that aren't up for sale, so presumably they'll update the roster with new names every year or so, like the Incarnadine Robe.

Also, perhaps the equivocation of the coin and the gunpowder with the devilbone die and the scintillack indicates that they're going to be added to the game elsewhere in the future? I know something like this was already done with Flint, where a bunch of little items like stygian ivory and royal blue feathers were added as minor rewards in that story first, then distributed throughout new content over the next few years.

One thing I found really interesting was the Justificande Coin, as I only know of one reference to it from a Ambition teaser.

I feel like the Justificande Coin might be an item that a Heart's Desire player will have to get to progress, so someone who got if from the trance dream can jump past that step. It shares an icon with First City coins, the poker chips used in the Marvelous. A further connection is that First City coins are gifted in sets of 30, a reference to Judas trading Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. The source and the stamped message "ONE DAY YOU WILL FORGIVE" makes me imagine that it's some kind of religious relic related to Judas' betrayal. If someone has an echo of that option, I'd love to see exactly how the conversation went down. I have no idea how this would work in the Marvellous, but that seems the most likely ambition its related to.
