I just reached SMEN 18 with my alt and finished staining my soul. It seems I have nothing to do for the next few levels but grind for appalling secrets or wait until my marsh-mired quality goes away. Does anyone have advice on what I could do during this "slow" period? This is a pretty high-level character who has played through nearly all the game's content. If there are perhaps some items I could stockpile, or a way to raise SMEN that I'm missing... I would appreciate any help.

Make sure you have at least 7 Searing Enigmas on hand for the next step. Depending on how you do it you may need as many as 14 (and you'll probably want another 7 to get that calling card at some point). There's a grab bag of other small items you'll need for the next step as well but they're all pretty easily obtained.
If you don't already have a classic short story this would also be a good time to get going on that to. Or you could kill a goat. Or your own daughter.

Thanks! Acquiring Searing Enigmas is time-consuming, but not necessarily boring.

I took a brief look at the well.
7 fluke cores?
Isn't the option that lets you get a fluke core locked out once you have one?
Or was that changed so that we could have ... a number... of them?

It was changed so that the children of axile could be sacrificed.

RIP suinicide, stuck in a well. Still has it under control.

Thank goodness you can use a Short-Story, and, when Sacksmas comes around, a Noman.
Since you're probably using the Short-Story, I hope you got a ton of Case Notes from the Election like I did.

Also worth noting, I've seen suggestion that if someone gifts you a calling card at SMEN 21, it will massively accelerate the process, so you may want to start reaching out to more advanced seekers.
