If the sharing of pain helps, Fhoenix, a week or so ago I got ONE enigma in that particular game of luck. I laughed about as much as you did, I think

something a bit eerie about the text you get for clearing your own snow:
"Your vision blears like wax: images occur of bleak shores, flat dark seas, distant lights… you see yourself, bending to labour in these places."
bending to labour... and somewhere out in Zee, a long time ago, the Bazaar lost a daughter...

I just got 2 Searing Enigma in exchange for 25 Uncanny Incunabulum. That's three days of solid grinding to lose 200 Echoes in conversion on one luck-based check. Haha, game, very funny.
Since that content is no longer Eaten related I wish they would make it fairer, like trading Antique Mysteries for Primeval Hints.

I would like to thank this community and game for the many years of joy you have brought me. May you find your Heart's Desire.

The thing is, I think it's working as intended. Enigma's are established as a commodity and Mr.Eaten simply reuses this fact. The whole thing is resource-sink for people with a big inventory on their hands. Same as Notability is a time-sink.

I just saw the option of getting new houses. For a moment, I was thrilled. Then I saw the price and started crying. I had the Masters' Blood... but I sold it. I don't think there's any way to get it again. And even if I do somehow, Notability 10 is far beyond my reach.
Okay, enough complaining for now. I'll just cross my fingers that when the game says'certain times of year', it means Christmas.

I just saw a mention, in passing, of an option for Glassmen in the Honey Dens. In looking at it, I'm forced to wonder if this is an indication of possible future Profession-specific Even More Advanced Dwellings?

Having a 5-6 card building that was Profession specific (or at least profession line specific) would be sad to me. I consider my character to be somewhat of a landbaron who would not rest until he owns every building in the Bazaar. To have some of them locked because I'm not a Glassman or an Author would sadden me greatly.

I imagine that at least there'll be a couple options unlinked to the Professions, like Notary, Doctor, etc.
If anything, I think it'd be interesting if the ones not tied to a Profession were more impressive and 'valuable', in a mundane sense, since the professions as of tier 4 are morphing from actual jobs into....obsessions.
So stuff like owning an entire slum, or a hotel of your own, without Inherent Weirdness, would be an interesting tradeoff.

Not new content but a change in old. In the Heron Tower, the second option now requires a Recurring Dream: Death by Water quality of 1 instead of Scholar of the Correspondence.
EDIT: Got two lodgings mixed up... hahahaha*hides in the corner*hahapleasedontlookatme

It always has; I think you're confusing that with the option on the Sleepless Tower which requires Scholar.

But it could also mean The Feast of the Exceptional Rose (i.e., Valentine's Day) or even Halloween. Just saying.

I've seen it, and I'm a Correspondent, not a Glassman. It's not always there though--the Storylets available under the Honey Dens of Veilgarden randomly fluctuate.

Oddly enough, it appears that the Tower of Sleeping Giants may not have something new, but I may just be missing an unlock quality.
