These could be purchased with {{IL|Estival Tokens}}. Each player could obtain 30 free tokens at the beginning of the event, and more could be purchased for 1 {{FontFate}} apiece. Unlike the Grand Clearing-Out, there was no option to turn in an unused {{IL|A Free Gift}} for festival currency. Also unlike the Clearing-Out, it was confirmed in the announcement<ref>[https://www.failbettergames.com/news/f-f-gebrandts-prelapsarian-exhibition FBG Blog Post]</ref> that Estival Tokens would remain usable in future summer events. At 12:17 UTC, an option was added to spend {{FontFate}} to send tokens to other players. | These could be purchased with {{IL|Estival Tokens}}.

Initially, the work on the museum required {{IL|Museum Construction: Toil|Appearance=Toil}} and {{IL|Museum Construction: Materials|Appearance=Materials}}. Toil could be increased by 1-2 by various options in [[The Prelapsarian Exhibition: Building a Museum]], and Materials by an amount scaling based off of how long the event had been going on by [[Set a course (The Salt Lions)|zailing to the Salt Lions]], [[The Work of the Unmakers|picking up]] {{IL|A Hold Full of Sphinxstone}} and [[Deliver a load of sphinxstone|delivering it to the museum]]. Picking up a load of sphinxstone started a living story, preventing the player from returning for another load for 23 hours. As a result, most people only managed to deliver a single load before the Materials bar filled up. | Initially, the work on the museum required {{IL|Museum Construction: Toil|Appearance=Toil}} and {{IL|Museum Construction: Materials|Appearance=Materials}}.

− | At 11:16 UTC | + | At 11:16 UTC, it was discovered that the Sphinxstone turnin had a rare success with extra text, describing a room being constructed from the sphinxstone. Based on this, people soon guessed that the extra text depended on the level of {{IL|Museum Construction: Materials}}, and two other variants were soon uncovered. As nobody had reported any rare successes the previous day, it seemed that the earlier variant or variants had been missed. |

Throughtout the evening, in response to numerous complaints that the Osteological and Archaeological options were nowhere near as profitable as the Optical options - and indeed, were scarcely worthwhile compared to normal in-game activities - Bruno carried out a number of bugfixes and adjustments. | Throughtout the evening, in response to numerous complaints that the Osteological and Archaeological options were nowhere near as profitable as the Optical options - and indeed, were scarcely worthwhile compared to normal in-game activities - Bruno carried out a number of bugfixes and adjustments. | ||
