That was unclear to me, because it didn’t say Prints: None. It just omitted mentioning prints entirely, but then when I picked it up, it said note: just mention candlestick because people will respond the same regardless, so in my notes I wrote “prints: same as other?”
It says 'Recently polished', which at least for me tipped me off on there not being fingerprints.
When I play tested the rope didn't have any fingerprints either so I was suspicious of that. I forgot to mention it though so idk if that got fixed (or whether rope in general can't hold fingerprints)
I think of polished just as a generic descriptor meaning it's nice and shiny, not that it can't have prints on it. Like I said though, if I was a player and there were stakes, good chance I'd have asked for confirmation on that (and the rope too for that matter). Knowing both candlesticks have the same story but one has no prints is a pretty strong signal, so I can imagine getting 2 of the 3 correct, although who knows, I was also pretty keyed in on where Cephrir's prints were and tracking that.
