Hi,
I'd like to acquire a Fluke Core. Do I have to grind those in the Nadir or can I gain them in Flute street somehow?

I'll put it down to the effects of Irrigo - maybe visiting the Nadir twice in one week was a bit too much of a hit to my memory

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Overgoat is a +20 Watchful, +2 BDR pet which can be very useful; Ubergoats are +30 Watchful, +4 BDR. So both are good for SotC at the University and also Notability.
Goats are adorable as well.
Edited for correct BDR for the Overgoat

Hmm, now that I have a Fluke-Core, it appears I cannot gain another since it locks out the Nadir card.
I wish I had collected another Fecund Amber to complete my rubbery collection. Now I can't get one either.
You can actually sell the Amber for exactly the same amount that you spent on Diaries of the Dead in the first place, and then repeat the process with an extra five books to get both your Fluke-Core and extra Fecund Amber.

I was going to create a new thread, but here seemed a better place to ask my question:
Does the Fluke Core have any use? I've been thinking of acquiring one to help thin out my Nadir deck ever so slightly, but 1500+ Echoes seems a huge expense for an item which doesn't appear to have any function besides being decoration on ones profile.
It sells for the exact amount you paid for it, which is nice.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.

Do Fluke-Cores sell for 1562.50? The wiki lists them as selling for 1560.00, which is actually 2.50 less than the cost of the Diaries of the Dead you have to buy to make one. (Not to mention the cost of actions to convert them, and Irrigo.)
oh.... opps. i stand corrected. It's still something you can hold onto for a while, and when you're desperately in need of funds sell, though. Once you can go a month or so without selling it, it's very worth buying. More-so if you're only using the card when your hand is full of dud cards, since then you only'd get 2.5 echoes with that for the same point irrigo- and how they came to that place is 1 point irrigo, not 2.
combined with keeping nightmares below 2 on entry, you can prune the nadir deck down to 16 cards, which with 2 or 3 consistently worthwhile ones, is amazingly good. Another 4 in the dead-zone that is your hand with christmas' 5-card lodgings, and there, 1/6 or 1/4 of getting the good cards. (where did the rosers go is of dubious value, imo. but hey, at the worst it's a free discard on second chance failure, at least for more uses than the irrigo penalty is worth.)

That's 4,000 echoes in brass, not 400. Unless an Overgoat is top priority, I think it's pretty easy to keep 5 or 10 Diaries of the Dead on hand and buy more every few weeks when the card turns up.
