When "buying" items from the shop, they are automatically installed (and never put in your inventory), except for the watercolor set. You still get a "You acquire an item:" message for all of those items though, which I did point out during testing but Jick wasn't concerned about it.

Indeed, all of the items did end up in my inventory, and were not removed when installing another exclusive item that overrode the first one.

Do you mean your KoL inventory (which I do, but only for that one) or your KoLmafia inventory (which is expected as they are not yet autoremoved).

The continental juice bar gives three random potions once a day.

As a daily use item, it needs a tracking preference. Daily Deed? Breakfast?

I'd say Daily Deed rather than breakfast because it is possible to swap it out for a new one before using it for the day.

While I was resting I got a complimentary Hot Mint Schnocolate! Best Hotel Ever!

Those are two completely unconnected questions. I'll separate them for clarity.

Was that a free rest?

That was not a free rest. I haven't gotten any free stuff from the free rests at the Chateau, which would make this item much more useful.


Do we need to direct free rests to the bed in the chateau?

Free rests can be used in the Chateau just as in the Campground. KoLmafia does need to count free resting in the Chateau on timesRested. Since the recovery is so much greater in the Chateau, I think that mafia should direct free rests there if it is available.

If someone is trying to rest for a buff from their campground housing (hobo power, some +item buff I think), then this will be the wrong place to rest. I have no idea how that should be handled. I won't be upset if chateau is always used.
 

Bale

Well, I'm just hoping for KoLmafia to tell me if the Chateau is available. If it is, then UR will always refer the resting there because the campground buffs are very minor and MP recovery is king.

What if the current housing restores more MP than Chateau? And it could be aftercore where MP isn't so valuable.

The chateau also lets you install a little accessory to the bed which gives you stats. Given that, I'd always prefer the chateau to the campground dwelling.
