I have almost 30 points worth of gifts, and I haven't drawn Lilac since I asked her for a tattoo

I pray to RNG

This post seems to have functioned as an invocation:



Praise RNG

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.

I hope we might get the Viric dreaming pinned, or that future Feasts might dispense with them being up to rng--I bought my Sinning Jenny phantasie a few days ago, and haven't gotten to do even the first of them. I pine, and look at my stash of gifts with apprehension; if I can't use them for dreams, they will go unloved for a calendar year (the paleontologist and Dr. Schlomo have already joined my beloved retinue).

They're all on the wiki now, none best in slot but the three fate-locked companions each give a point in a different new quality, one of which is also boosted by the equipment reward for Ambition: Nemesis. The instructional note accompanying the qualities indicates that they will be useful in upcoming content. Presumably, this means endgame, post ambition content, if the ambition rewards are boosting them as well. Specifically, the Countess helps you with your mad science, the Captain helps you with political scheming, and Captain Whitlock helps you hunt monsters.

I got on only on Monday, got enough masquing to get Jenny's dream (without encountering Lilac once!) but no Viric dream cards have showed up. Am I doing something wrong?

There are four professions with additional options. There are four dreams to purchase. I see some connections. I'll be flipping cards like mad looking for masquing, and RNG willing, I'll report back to y'all what a Crooked-Cross can do with/to/under the nose of the Bishop.

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?
