Dear detectives. Have I been blind? I am in Shanghai and came across a new(?) store. Have I never seen it before in my... 13 years or so around these boards? I've searched the boards and didn't find anything either... The NPC is interested in "coins from the Roman Empire".

Is this a new feature? Have I missed it completely for some reason? How do you get these coins?

Your truly (confused),

Any progress on the antiques store - or are we all still scratching our heads?

I had a message from the Librarian in London today that I'm not sure I've seen before (echoes of Rhaenys and Big Lucy). If I recall correctly it was "It seems things are passing hands between the factions."

Perhaps it's an old message and I've just forgotten.

I've seen the same message recently and was wondering about it, but then again I had a 3year break from playing so I was thinking maybe I missed it before.

That message is definitively an old one. I think it belonged to the Christmas competition a few years back. Perhaps it would be a good idea to delete old messages when one of our admins finds time to do it. But possibly creating a confusion is the main purpose of these hints. :)

Just got that message again. It's actually: "I hear something special is moving between the factions".

Message from the Librarian: "All deliveries can help keep your feet warm."

This doesn't refer to anything we currently have, does it? Seemed like a new message - figured I'd just add it to the pile of mystery loose ends we have here. :P

Bela, if I remember correctly this refers to the Reindeer Boots from Zeti's 2016 Christmas event.

The 'urchin' connection now seems to have disappeared from that behind-the-scenes info at the antique store. Interesting.

^My error. It's still there. Looking at wrong part of info. Get some coffee, Katya!

However .... the 'urchin' connection appears behind-the-scenes in all the Shanghai venues. Perhaps it does in other cities too? Haven't checked yet.

Julius Caesar's laurel
your eye don't deceive you this is Julius Caesar's crown. Costra Nostra will be pleased with who ever wears this.

de Champlains atlas
de Champlains finest work. the order of Socrates will most appreciate this.
