Feast of the Rose (Guide)/Item Comparison

Early MYN Content and Onwards

This content is only available during Feast of the Exceptional Rose! For the history of this holiday see Feast of the Exceptional Rose (historical)

Feast of the Rose has two general source of items: the first is from gifts given to other players (which can also be given to yourself by sending and then cancelling!), which can then be traded for Masquing, and then Masquing can be traded for companions. Several of the gifts are useful in their own right, and both gifts and companions can cost FATE. This list will help players explore their options.

Items Sorted by Stats

Note that these tables follow the following format: strict BIS is bold, shared BIS is italic, and stats which are neither but are nonetheless notable will be in regular case. Stats which are none of the above have been omitted for ease of perusal.

Best In Slot

These items are the strict best in slot for one or more stats.

Situational Best in Slot

Items Sorted by Use

We're not counting the use of rose-gifts to gain Masquing, only their uses outside of this festival.

Efficient Repeatable

These items unlock repeatable options that are much better than their evergreen alternatives.

Item	Acquisition	Unlocks	Notes
A Custom-Engraved Skull	Rose-gift for 200 x Inkling of Identity	Attach it to a skeleton in the Bone Market; this consumes the Skull and gains 2 x Bone Market Exhaustion.	The Engraved Skull is highly action-efficient for generating Exhaustion, effectively giving 40 per point of Exhaustion assuming we value the skull itself at the 20 it costs to send. For midgame players, this may be the best source of Exhaustion bar none. For players with a Railway, the Skull is more niche, as 40 per point of Exhaustion represents the low end of what skeletons can be. With a proper Mania, the Skull can be pushed to 44 or 46, but that's still peanuts compared to maximising secondary payouts, which can give around 100 per point of Exhaustion depending on buyer and how close you can get to the breakpoint. Still, the Engraved Skull does have a niche for endgame players, if only because sticking it on a Headless Skeleton and selling to the Constable is a fast way to use up Exhaustion if you're not feeling like making an intricate skeleton. If you wanted to use solely Engraved Skulls to fund Exhaustion for a year, you would need 104 of them, costing a total of 20,800 Inkling of Identity.
Debonair Palaeontologist	3x Masquing	Introduce her to a friend on A Public Lecture Ask the Debonair Palaeontologist for Research on a Morbid Fad	The option for the Carpenter's Graddaughter is a decent source of Memory of Light, and the Research option translates to extra Survey of the Neath's Bones when publishing a Palaeontological Edition of your newspaper. This companion can also be married, see below.
The Pirate-Poet	3x Masquing	An option with Hephaesta in Ambition: Light Fingers! A monograph option in Moulin]]	The Light Fingers option saves you about 575 in miscellaneous items you'd otherwise have to acquire. The Moulin monograph option is alternately available from playing a particular Exceptional Story.
Canny Costermonger	3x Masquing or 10 FATE in Station VIII at all times of the year.	Trade (your dish) to the Canny Costermonger in Station VIII	A great source of Solacefruit and Dark-Dewed Cherry.
Lettice, the Mercy	40x Masquing with Acquaintance: the Mercies	Invite in Lettice the Mercy to your Laboratory much more cheaply Let her speak at your Salon	The Salon option shares Airs with the Lyrebird and Duchess options. In the Laboratory, Lettice's expertise is somewhat niche, but she can provide a fair amount of research even outside of that as long as your lab has been upgraded enough.

Efficient Single-Use

These items unlock a one-time option that saves the player significant resources compared to the free alternatives.

Item	Acquisition	Unlocks	Notes
Impenitent Devil	3x Masquing	Ask the Impenitent Devil for an introduction to the Clay Tailor Club An option during the Caduceus section of Shadowy Gains	The Shadowy Gains option just gives some lore; the Clay Tailor option doesn't get you into the club, merely Acquainted with it, and can be bypassed either with Renown: Bohemians 10 or being a Crooked-Cross.
Curious Contrarian	3x Masquing	Ask an old friend during Ambition: Heart's Desire!	Saves you 5x Favours: Revolutionaries.
Countess of Thorns	60x Masquing	Invite the Countess of Thorns to help defend your Parabolan Base-Camp	One-time savings of 687.50
Captain Amelia Whitlock	100x Masquing	Enlist the help of Captain Amelia Whitlock during Ambition: Light Fingers!	That step in Light Fingers can also be done with a Luxurious ship. Without the ship or Amelia, you need to pay 687.50 in various items as well as 5x Favours: The Docks

Niche Repeatable

These items unlock repeatable options that are either equivalent to or outclassed by their evergreen alternatives.

Item	Acquisition	Unlocks	Notes
An Antediluvian Ushabti	Rose-gift for 20 x Mystery of the Elder Continent	Consult your Antediluvian Ushabti to gain Parabolan Research and Expertise of the Second City	This is one of the better options for generating Expertise of the Second City; this is only useful for gaining A Mystery of the Second City, but if you don't have it you'll need to either have a specific statue at Jericho Locks or deal with Waswood RNG. It's a fairly okay option for generating Parabolan Research, giving about as much as F.F. Gebrandt, but it notably doesn't require anyone specific to be in your laboratory to use. Outclassed by the Silk-Clad Expert, the Profound Student, Visionary Student, and the various Ambition characters, but a decent choice if you haven't unlocked those yet. Note that that challenge is based on how many Ushabtiu you own, and requires 9 to 100%; that's a total of 180 x Mystery of the Elder Continent.
Tiny Silver Kettle of Pickled Liar's Tongues	Rose-gift for 50 x Intriguing Snippet	Can be gifted to De Gustibus in Whitsun for either 1 CP Suspicion or, on a rare success 25. Consumes the Kettle.	Decently profitable in theory but requiring a rare success makes it much less so.
Dr Schlomo	10x Masquing	Call on Dr Schlomo's assistance during the Parabolan War Sell him certain dishes in Station VIII for An Identity Uncovered! Conversational options in the Dome of Scales	The Parabolan War option is Airs-dependent and only available in a certain stage of the war when fighting from London, but is decent despite being very situational. The Station VIII option, on the other hand, is lackluster. Schlomo only wants Parabolan Orange-apple-based dishes, and that's quite a rare and valuable ingredient. There are much better sources of An Identity Uncovered! in the Upper River.
Presbyterate Diplomat	10x Masquing	Can speak at a Salon, depending on Airs	Airs ranges overlap with Repentant Forger and (social) Crooked-Cross options.
Genre Painter	20x Masquing	Attend Helicon House with him	Gives 1x Fitting in at Helicon House
Bohemian Sculptress	80x Masquing	Attend Helicon House with her An option in The Serpent Muralist in the Tracklayer's City	Gives 1x Fitting in at Helicon House. The Serpent Muralist is an optional FATE module for the Tracklayer's City.
Ferret	80x Masquing	An option in Sub-Basement in the Tracklayer's City	Sub-Basement is an optional FATE module for the Tracklayer's City.
The Abbot-Commander	80x Masquing	An option in Three Body Problem in the Tracklayer's City	Three Body Problem is an optional FATE module for the Tracklayer's City.
A Monster-Hunting Academic	80x Masquing	Assistance in the Jericho Library Rely on your acquaintance with Sophia herself to become acquainted with Sophia's	The Jericho Library is niche content. Becoming acquainted with Sophia's can also be done with several other options, including a Monstrous Anatomy check and having An Orphanage.

Pink-Painted Cat	Rose-gift for 200 x Appalling Secret	Introduce your Pink-Painted Cat for A Cub's Education	See A Cub's Education (Guide) for more details
Hamper of Heart-Cuts Rose-Bearing Maggot	Rose-gift for 5 FATE each	Can be combined to get Shimmering Songster	The Songster has no use but sure iz cute!
A One Way Ticket on the 12:15 to Hell	Rose-gift for 50 FATE	One of the options for progressing the start of the Railway.	Can be bypassed with either a Judgements' Egg or having done a specific Exceptional Story.
Sister Lydia	10x Masquing, or in Burrow-infra-Mump year-round for 15 FATE	One of several options for Choosing a Lay Minister in Burrow-infra-Mump	The other options are free and non-seasonal, though one does require Renown: Bohemians 25. See A Church in the Wild (Guide) for more details.
Intrepid Deacon	40x Masquing with completion of For All the Saints Who From Their Labours Rest	Invite an old friend as Deacon in Burrow-infra-Mump Advance a story in Marigold Station	The Burrow option has two free alternatives; see A Church in the Wild (Guide) for more details. The option in Marigold can also be done with simply one Favours: The Church and one Favours: Hell.
Crimson Captain	60x Masquing	Invite a Crimson Captain in Burrow-infra-Mump Advance a story in Marigold Station	The Burrow option has two free alternatives; see A Church in the Wild (Guide) for more details. The option in Marigold can also be done with simply one Favours: The Church and one Favours: Hell.
Green-Eyed Devil Quiet Deviless	100x Masquing each	A Matter of Mortality with the Loquacious Vicar	You can also buy them on that storylet for 50 FATE. Given how incredibly early of a storylet that is, it's not likely that you'll be using them for it, and the story can also be advanced with a trivial Watchful check.

Feast of the Rose Spouses

Several Feast companions can be married, and the final quest upgrades to these are often quite powerful. As each player can only have one Spouse, most of these options are not of interest to most players, and so are discussed here instead.

Feast of the Rose Companion	Upgrade Path	Final Upgrade Stats	Opportunity Card	Helicon House Bonus
Debonair Palaeontologist	First upgrade: Buccaneering Palaeontologist (HALLOWMAS) Second upgrade: Soothing Palaeontologist Third upgrade: Soothing Prehistoricist	Watchful +1 Dangerous +1 Committed: +1 Monstrous Anatomy +1	Spend an Evening with the Soothing Palaeontologist for the Palaeontologist, none(?) for the Prehistoricist	+1 Fitting in at Helicon House.

HALLOWMAS Upgrades

Every year some of the companions added at the Feast of the Rose get upgrades at that year's Hallowmas. It's difficult to say if or when these will be available for free again, however, and previous years' Hallowmas upgrades can be purchased with FATE without needing the base item. For ease of reference, this table presents all of the Feast companions which can be upgraded at Hallowmas. More details on these can be found at Hallowmas (Guide)/Item Comparison.

Hallowmas variants usually have much better stats than their original form, and may gain one or two new uses besides.
