...Hopefully I haven't spelled that wrong!
Anyway, has anyone actually managed to buy a flask of the stuff? At 16000 Echoes, I doubt it, but you never know... I am very curious as to what it does and how it works. Perhaps we could co-ordinate something and have someone try to raise enough money to buy it?

I have drunk Hesperidean Cider this very day.
Bought it by grinding Coruscating Souls. 512 of them. Took a long time.

Alternatively, one could just spend about 27 thousand dollars on Fate, convert it all to extra actions, and buy Hesperidian Cider today.
It would probably be cheaper and easier just to bribe the developers directly.
Bribery is for those without the wit to pull off a proper kidnapping.

I believe I've been working seriously on it for a bit over a year and a half. That's playing everyday and extracting close to the maximum number of actions possible, but with few fate buys other than my Exceptional Friend refreshes.

I still wonder how you managed to make the Fidgeting writer grind profitable...
It's the law of large numbers. Statistically the fidgeting writer is extremely profitable over a very long time.

I did 1000 tales of terror and got a tremendous return on the fidgeting writer; or, at least my goat thinks so.

Sincere apologies if this is thread necromancy of the worst sort--but--does the Goat still provide 10 scrap?

However, now you can get an Ubergoat if you have two Overgoats and one fate point, if I remember correctly.

Although no one has bought it, the devs have occasionally been seen with one on their mantlepieces.
Channelling resources to a single player won't work; the need to accept the actions prevents the target from gaining sufficiently quickly for it to be worthwhile. Sorry.
We'll have to wait.

I have an Overgoat, as do a number of other players that I know. They're easy enough to pick up - they just require you to have run out of things to do and to spend all your actions for many months on acquiring ridiculously large amounts of cash.
An Overgoat costs a 'mere' 11,712.80 Echoes - an amount that can be collected (assuming a rate of 1.22/action - currently possible) in approximately 3 months for an Exceptional Friend, and twice that for the less Friendly.
However, Hesperidean Cider is a little more expensive at 160,000 Echoes. That's about 13 and two thirds as much. So if you wanted a bottle, it would take you about 3 years and 8 months or so - for an Exceptional Friend. This does, of course, assume the same rate of income. Until recently, it was not possible to get as much as this in an action. It is not (yet) possible for a player to have saved enough for a bottle. But by the time that the game is completed? Who knows - It may be within the reach of the exceptionally determined.

I admittedly hadn't noticed that.
