@Moki
So far it seems like so:
To start storyline, you have to explore until you find a wolf. Encounter is bugged, so you have to keep exploring and possibly find the wolf multiple times, but keep doing it until you get the item encounter. Then, go to event storyline page.
You will start the storyline, and finally you will be presented with following choice:
- Agree *
- Refuse *

If you choose "Agree", the story continues with the Coven path. You are on the path that will reward you with Notches marking set.
If you choose "Refuse", the story stops and tells you to continue tomorrow. Next RO, you're prompted to explore again. Then you find another wolf in explore, and you learn it's the Individual the post was talking about. You continue the storyline, eventually gaining access to the Coven and the spells as well, but you're on a path that rewards you with Crawl marking set.

This is still not entirely confirmed as the storyline hasn't been completed, but the asterisks and how the story stands so far suggests this IS the choice that was mentioned in the post.

I'd gotten the encounter a couple times so I wasn't sure if it was an item we were meant to have or something else. Gave it a third try and finally seemed to stick and let me find it in explore and continue the storyline :) Thanks for that!

I really wish it wasn't the first choice you pick, that little bit of info just kinda screwed me over as I wanted the individual rewards  not the group ones. I thought it was like Coigreach where the choice was closer to the end, not the exact first choice you have to make on a event that's never happened before.

I also wanted individual rewards, I'm so peeved that it wasn't clear and that the choice was so early. Hopefully I'm able to trade items later on.

Edit: yeah, after reading messages below I think maybe I was a bit harsh since no one truly knows yet. I'm just really hoping the asterisks didn't mean the group/individual choice.

For anyone struggling to find the second step (finding the item) part of the storyline, it may help to try switching biomes. I ran into the first step (meeting the wolf) 5 times before someone told me changing biomes worked for them, and I tried it, and found the item within 40 energy. No guarantees, but it doesn't hurt to try.

I really don't think the accept or refuse option is the choice mentioned in the news post. It simply doesn't match up with what the news post talks about. We didn't side with anyone, we just refused or accepted the coven's offer. The individual had absolutely nothing to do with that scenario, she wasn't even a character yet. I don't think those who picked accept even know the name of the individual or what she looks like yet!

We have zero clue what's going on. I can't side with someone when I barely even know their name, let alone what they're doing and what the opposition is. As for the asterisks, I think that may be a reference to the spells. If you choose refuse, you will get the spells a day later. That doesn't seem like the defining choice considering we get it either way, but it's beneficial enough for gameplay to have a warning since some people would rather have the spells a day earlier. (Whatever reason the asterisks are there, that is a definite problem to not have any explanation.)

Unless there was a seriously major mistake in how the news post was written, I genuinely don't think this choice is the defining one. It doesn't line up. I think people should hold off on assuming the decision has already been made and just see how it goes. We're two days in.

If that choice really is the deciding decision, then it goes without saying that's beyond absurd. I will gladly chime in with the rest of you on that. But let's get a little further in before hitting hard on that note.

Aha! Changing biomes did indeed get me to finally unlocking the story. Thanks for that!

And yeah I find it... odd the asterisks being there with no explanation. Hopefully if it was something that got left out by accident we'll be able to adjust course later??

@Whirlgig I absolutely hope it is like you say, especially since I'm in the group of people that chose the opposite of what they wanted markings-wise. Just decided to share what I saw people talking about, that's why I stressed that this is only what we know so far :)
I also was suspecting a situation where we have both the group and the individual in front of us and we have to choose in a situation where they are both present. It just makes a lot more sense. And I'll be on copium till the very last chapter that I have a chance of getting the set I wanted

I think it might be more related to the first two questions you are asked?

That's what I'm thinking too canaridante, that it'll be something we're doing with the coven and the individual will barge in with something to say. Or vice versa. And with them all present, we decide based on what we've learned. We'll have to see, curious about tomorrow's story part.
