I seem to recall a back exit in the Place-Where-Food-Is-Prepared.

- Grind 5000 Jade at Unfinished Business in Watchmaker’s Hill for around 250 Jade per action: 40 actions (on average)
Isn’t that 250 jade per two actions?
According to my calculations, best repeatable (non-fate?) way to get AMs are particular thefts (with gang of hoodlums and high shadowy), at … 126 ppa?
Oh, so I was missing the obvious! Thank you, it seems that’s the only place I didn’t revisit afterwards…
I’ve selected the Regretful Soldier as my deputy, and paused. Should I take the Soldier’s soul before we depart, ensuring his obedience in whatever dastardly scheme I throw him in? Or should I save it as a reward for a successful mission?

Ah yep, you’re right! Fixed it. (The math should still be right.)
My napkin calculations suggest Fidgeting Writer is a little bit faster than particular thefts? But this is quite a bit better than either – if you keep converting from the above sequence until Antique Mysteries it’s around 171 ppa.
Of course there’s also Trade Secrets. That’s definitely repeatable, and high ppa. But you only get 1 Antique Mystery per week for that one!
I’m familiar with soullessness. But will the burden of a soul make him less willing to die for me? Or will his soulless body be a poor house for gratitude, strengthening his self-interest? Will it matter mechanically at all? Find out more in a forum post a few weeks from now.
I never would’ve guessed it, but the Bishop’s beliefs about the Bazaar match mine almost perfectly.
Gah, I misclicked and, intending to question the Bishop further, I wound up telling him that I had the Word and not the Knapt. And then my hand, pre-programmed as it was for what I thought I was doing, exited out of that screen before I could read it. Has anyone echoed that particular response, where he
gives you the Judgement Egg?
[quote=Ian Hart]I’ve been grinding it whenever I don’t have the focus to do something else. It seems simple and profitable to me (if a bit click-intensive.) I’ve been gaining my Mysteries through side-converting, since I imagine I’ll have to move on in the story long before I run out of tier 3s. I’m hoping it’ll help me make some significant progress on my goat, if only by keeping me focused.

Aha! It appears that this was changed to two actions instead of one, which makes it far less profitable.
I recorded his response here.[/quote]
So sorry, I accidentally thumbs downed you!
On that note, I really wish there was a way to fix that on here…

I balanced it. hehe :D Forgive my off-topic reply here, carry on! :)

Yes. When I got to that part, it was already 2 actions: one to start talking, one to finish the conversation. And repeat.
I kinda hoped I will be able to use the fact that I have an intimate relationship with a snuffer (a fate locked story from foreign office): When speaking to the bishop, perhaps make it even harder for me to access the Elder Continent. SOME reference. Hard to ignore the fact I share a life with a snuffer and it won’t be expressed in ANY way in a story which revolves around snuffers and their enemies.
Quick item question:
Does making the Reluctant Soldier your deputy give you anything? I noticed that taking Silas on my main gave me a both a Little Comfort and A Foresighted Plan, but I believe I only got a Valorous Inclination for picking the Reluctant Soldier.

Sara, you got two of one from one, and one of two from the other.
Whoops, missed this response. Thank you for the correction! Now that you mention it I do remember getting two of them, not just one.

Aww man, I accidentally missed questioning about Bishop’s family since I didn’t realize I would lose my chance if I asked something else :'D(I had forgotten I already asked everything)
I guess no way to reset storyline until its available for everyone?(or before part 2?) <_< I kinda regret my choices :'D

The 2 echo grind was patched by the powers that be, so it now costs 2 actions.
Thanks to that, I’ve now gone ahead and completed the story, looking at the quality requirements for Part 2, I’ve noticed that “A Quiet Woman” is one of the valid deputies. Does anyone know who that is, or how you get it? I certainly don’t remember it as an option.

I’m pretty confident that it is something available to you if you complete the Knapt half of the story in a particular way before choosing your deputy. Specifically:
If you save the Bishop’s sister from the factory I think she becomes the quiet woman.
Annoyingly, I made my choice very slightly before that point. Still kicking myself, slightly.
