Alright, so I just started playing yesterday, and I'm hooked. Too bad I can't play at work...

Anyway, I've got a newbish question for all of you veterans out there: How do you make money in this game? Is it just through selling stuff? I think that the most I've seen so far is just under an Echo.

Also, is it worth the money to buy a lucky weasel companion? I've already bought it because I like it, but I curious to know whether or not it has any impact on gameplay. Thanks!

Yeah, that's how you make money. It's sort of progressive. As your levels go up and the challenges get harder the payoffs increase.

There's a weasel fight Op card, which is why I got one, but it hasn't come up in my deck again, of course, so I can't tell you what it does. Just so you know, you can have multiple pets and swap them in and out as desired...

Many thanks, pancito, for your quick response. I'll just have to keep pressing on!

I've also had several op cards for the bat. These will gather you extra items, so are worth it.

Uhoh - I'm marked by The Eater Of Chains. Mr_Wines doesn't hold much hope for me.

Another character has appeared on twitter (following hints in the Fate Christmas bonus)

Looks like the Neath's version of Santa. Or possibly something more sinister, given his bio.

Nice find, atomoil.

"possibly something more sinister?" I hope so! I've already taken a shine to this one.

Ok, does the "Lucky Weasel" ever win in the weasel fights, or does he just manage to always weasel out? He's lost 4 in a row.... Sad

He does win, very occasionally, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

In other news, Mr Sacks is making his rounds now. Head to your lodgings to play out his visit...

Okay, a couple of questions. How do you answer the mysteries questions or do the side quests in the box on the right? So far they are just questions and I can't figure out how to answer them or do what they suggest.

There's a whole other side to this game on Twitter. All the masters are there....

Well, all that we know of... That may be the hardest mystery to unravel. New Masters make appearances (e.g. Master Sacks), and I read a tweet somewhere that Masters may take on more than one persona. Hmmmm. The mysteries might be a place where the hive mind could actually make some progress...

ETA: My visit from Mr_Sacks...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I had used up all of my actions before I noticed the visit in my lodgings, so I was waiting for that to count down. Then Mr_Wines came on the twitter handing out bottles of the 1868 vintage. Now I had two things to do, answer the door and toast with Mr_Wines. So, when I finally did get an action, I answered the door first, and there was Mr_Sacks asking what I wanted to put in the sack. I invited him in to share the '68, which he did. We toasted his sack. When he was gone I discovered he had left a memento of his visit, the 'veteran' cardlet that everyone gets, and I am now connected to the Masters of the Bazaar. I thought that was cool.
Connected: the Masters of the Bazaar 1
You've pleased someone.
