A somewhat random Fallen London question/comment
Am I doing something wrong, or did equipped items suddenly stop improving your success chances? It doesn't seem to make a difference anymore.
I can't figure out if this is some kind of bug, or if it's only on certain challenges, or what. I'd thought it was just that equipped items don't work when you're at Zee, because I first noticed it in Polythreme (which kind of makes sense, analogous to how you can't access the Bazaar when you're in prison). But now I'm back in town -- I sailed back for the Feast of the Exceptional Rose, I couldn't help myself *g* -- and the same seems to be true here. I'm just wondering if they actually changed gameplay so that equipped items don't have an effect anymore, in which case ... I guess I can save my money and not buy high-end items unless I need them for a storyline? I don't know; I figured I'd ask if I'm missing something obvious, or if having items really, truly doesn't have a beneficial stat-raising effect anymore, which would be a very baffling change (and make the whole Echo Bazaar itself kind of pointless).
