This is to help players determine how to spend their FATE and Confessions during Hallowmas.
A Note about Rankings[edit]
The nature of Hallowmas as a festival is that only some items are available for free any given year. It also has the largest inventory of any of the festivals. These two combined make it especially difficult to rank items, as Hallowmas equipment will often outclass other Hallowmas equipment, but it's likely neither will be free at the same time.
For the sake of my and yours, I'm making the assumption that you're paying FATE for these companions for ease of making comparisons. This does result in fairly crowded "low tiers", but as a rule of thumb, you can consider any equipment that's free one tier higher than it normally is.
Several Hallowmas companions can also be married; for simplicity's sake, these are given their own section.
Items Sorted by Stats[edit]
Note that these tables follow the following format: strict BIS is bold, shared BIS is italic, and stats which are neither will be in regular case.

No Stats[edit]

Upgrade FEAST OF THE ROSE companion or pay 20 FATE |

The option for Palaeontological Editions is shared with her base form, but is quite powerful, as it gives an extra and for each completed Palaeontological Edition. This companion can also be married, see below. | |
Upgrade or pay 20 FATE | Can serve on the Board of the Great Hellbound Railway. | He is highly useful as he loves to say yes to almost every proposal which doesn't negatively affect Rubbery Interests. The only regular board action this affects is removing the Tentacled Entrepreneur. | |

The monograph option is shared with her base form, and can also be unlocked by playing . The Light Fingers option is also shared with the base form, and is a one-time savings of 575.00. | |
Upgrade or pay 30 FATE | Enlist expert assistance in the Jericho Library | The Jericho Library is fairly niche, however, it's notable that failing her option gives a , which can otherwise be fairly annoying to obtain. The check is difficult to fail with endgame stats, but there are ways around that. | |
Upgrade HALLOWMAS companion | An option on The Law's Long Arm that costs 1 and reduces Suspicion by 7 CP. | Does not affect and is not affected by , and is significantly better than Official incompetence.

Note also that 7 CP of Suspicion reduction is 1 CP more than you get from Dupe a friend into covering for you.

This is also a larger Scandal reduction than sending and doesn't require knowing a Licentiate, albeit it is card based and the letter also reduces 6 CP of Suspicion. |
Upgrade | Attend with your Ermine Assassin on City Vices: a tournament of weasels! | Valuing CP at 2 when cashing out with Raw material, this gives a fairly respectable 5.5 EPA on an otherwise terrible card. That jumps to 5.8 EPA if you redeem with A bag of jangling coins and you're willing to occasionally trek to to redeem the Justificandes either at Of the Pillars or The Futures Market and trade the result in the Rat-Market.

Upgrade or pay 15 FATE | With and from SUMMER, Design a bear show on the Theme of the Surface Navy in Ealing Gardens | The card is bad and you will generally want to avoid Ealing's cluttered deck anyway. | |
Upgrade , available with certain choices from the FATE story , or pay 30 FATE | Invite a Regretful Sceptic to test some handcuffs on Lowell's Locks and Cages (Card) | The option is not that good, and you likely don't want to draw the card anyway. Mechanically identical to the option provided by the base form. | |
Upgrade or pay 30 FATE | Give the Jovial Contrarian a worthy debating partner in the Railway Board | The Contrarian's vote is not difficult to obtain anyway, but this can be helpful in situations where some board members automatically cast their votes, such as The Viscountess when you Propose you deploy your train in the Parabolan War. | |
Upgrade or pay 20 FATE | Bring him with you to Helicon House | Provides no special benefits whatsoever when invited to Helicon, though he does have his own unique text variants. | |

|
Use it to gain both Research and Wounds on Lab projects with . | This option is slightly more efficient than the others on that card, although the Wounds likely even it out.
