Hello!! What's the best grind for echos at the moment? Also, is there a non-card way to get favors for Hell?

The current best grind by EPA is, I believe, giving urchins to tigers. I'll poke around and see if I can find you a guide
ETA: didn't find a proper guide, but the discussion here is fairly informative, and here's a calculation for the theoretical best EPA

There are sources that don't need cards. Regardless of what infinite misery the RNG may give you, the cardless sources are not an improvement.
Option A involves Polythreme. Option B is in the Labyrinth of Tigers, requires Fate to unlock, and is totally and completely unreasonable.

The easiest way to gain both favours and/or renown Hell is to purchase the Bright Brass Skull from the Bazaar, or purchase it from the Capering Reliquer.
Another easy option is to go to The Carnival and find the Devils. This simply costs you some carnival tickets, though if your Renown: Hell is too high, this option is no longer available.

Does anyone know how to get back into the Court or regain your Ambassadorship after you have been thrown out? I can't figure it out..

I like the sound of Option B. May I have more details?

To re-enter your court you need a) to grind Imperial Legitimacy in Wilmot's End (it won't take too many actions) and b) do a successful term as a Port Carnelian governor. Then, the Court re-opens for you.

You need to play Governor for a while. This will require a boat, and access to the Foreign Office in Wilmot's End.

The option becomes visible with only a mild investment of actions. You can see for yourself what it costs to play.
[spoiler]While breeding beasts in the Fourth Coil, there is an option to side with the Devils against the Bishop. To see this, you need to do the other two preparation activities that are not beating Devils with sticks.[/spoiler]

Alright I've been wondering: I need a little bit of Veils Velvet for special needs, and I've been collecting scrap for quite a while now, but my main concern is now failing the 50/50 four times now and losing just more than one would hope. I'm currently at 730 and I kind of just want to know how others that have been at it for a while have done it? Do you just use your lodgings cards only, or do you also feel bold like me and go for every relicker you see? I already own every one of the lodgings that are available in the Bazaar, save for the Embassy room, but these cards just generally don't pull my attention as much as a relicker, even though I do use them all up of course. But times like these really make me question the legitimacy of just constantly gambling with my scraps...Note that I also call in favours at the Flit with the urchins for some extra scraps too.

I stay the heck away from the Relickers personally, and only use the Lodgings options. Statistically speaking, the Relickers options should always be a net gain, but the RNG is fickle and I don' trust it!

Personally if I do get a Relicker I only go for the minimum recertification option.
Going higher than that is too risky with the RNG, plus dropping 4 Scraps isn't really a loss.

The Relickers give, on average, 0.5 scraps for the "some scraps" option and 1 scrap for each of the armful options. This means that they're a Very Infrequent card that, on a long-term average, is about as good as the tier 1 lodgings.
Just trim your deck and make sure you have all three 4-card lodgings - they are all Frequent and give 3-4 scraps each. Don't bother with anything else, except perhaps the 2-scrap lodgings if you're really focusing on scraps.

So, do we know if/when the Fruits of the Zee Festival is coming this year? I know it has historically been connected with Sunless Zee, so I imagine now that the team is concentrating on Sunless Skies, it might not be as thematically appropriate as it used to. Does anyone have any information or failing that, any sort of opinion at least?

It's coming on Monday! Hannah said so as an aside in Discord. No idea if there will be new items, but if I had to guess I would say probably not.

Why, thank you for the swift reply. We'll see; perhaps there'll be a little something new, or a chance to meet some of this year's election candidates like last year.

The double-armful options are risky but viable in the short run, if you stop gambling while you're on top, with maybe 3-5 more wins than you statistically should have. If you're lucky and get that quickly enough you end up getting enough scraps per Action to be worth it, but if you're unlucky I suppose you might never get there, or end up spending many Actions just to break even, at the low return of 1 scrap per Action. It's a gamble that worked out for me, but it's still a gamble. And not a big enough gamble to get you to 3200 scraps.

Does anyone know what the uses of the "Judgement Egg" and the "Fragment of the Tragedy Procedures" are?
I checked the Bazaar Wiki and all it said was they both only have Fate-locked uses..
I feel like they would've added more uses since it's a potential reward for the Mysteries, but I don't know.
I'd like to know before I get one considering I could only afford one of them.
Are they worth getting?

Neither have any use, that's just a placeholder text for fatelocked items.

So in other words, they're pretty much useless unless you wanted to sell them then?
