coughs this up from the back of my throat and leaves
Just wanted to add that a bunch more clues have been added since I posted this guide, but I've been too squamshed to update the guide proper. There's an ongoing list of clue locations being maintained by the community, though! (vague spoilers for location and activity names)
Hey folks, there's a new unique reward up for grabs! Crossposting the update here:
Huffam’s Personal Blend
A +5 Watchful, +1 Dreaded weapon. FBG staff have confirmed that this is not the seven clue reward.
It is unclear if this item will return.
To obtain this item, go to Watchmaker’s Hill to witness the conclusion of the Tournament of the Body.
Afterwards, travel to Veilgarden to speak to Huffam. There should be a new option labeled Discuss your recent scramble for leads. Playing this option will earn you the item.
FYI - events have progressed and there are more unique rewards on the table! Specifically, you can now get the 7 clue reward, and there’s an opportunity to earn another unique reward later on. I'm too squamshed to update the guide atm, but thought I'd put the call out just in case.
There should be a new universal storylet in Fifth City Stories, The End of the Games, that will progress the story.
still working on the guide, but for the curious, here are all of the unique and seasonal items from this Estival:
- 30 free Estival Tokens
- The Distinction of the Waking Fire (Adornment: Dangerous +5, Dreaded +1, reduces Nightmares build up)
- Huffam's Personal Blend (Weapon: Watchful +5, Dreaded +1)
- In Mr Huffam's Good Graces (Affiliation: Respectable +1, Dreaded +1, Inerrant +1, reduces Scandal build up)
- Coilbreaker's Prints (Gloves: Shadowy +6, Glasswork +1, Insubstantial +1)
- Half-Devoured Heart (Home Comfort: Watchful +5, Dreaded +2, Chthonosophy +1)
- One of the following: Parietal Kingscale, 'The Maze of Coiled Hearts', volumes 1-3, or Coilheart Games 1899 Commemorative Archway (these are souvenir items with no stats or mechanical benefits)
I am still testing this hunch, but I am 95% sure that you can literally make a baby account today and get every last one of these rewards. It shouldn't be hard at all for an established account to catch up - the tricky thing is making sure to pick up each item before the breakpoints at which they become unavailable. So I'll be writing a catchup section that spells out every single step you need to take, from the very beginning until the end. (ADHD and energy willing!)
