Possession Liquidation Tips?

I’m close to liquidating all assets in pursuit of a certain caprine entity. I seem to recall that there are a number of assets that can be changed out via opportunities more profitably (i.e., better than just grinding 3-5 EPA actions) than through direct sale at the Bazaar. These include:

[ul][li]Converting rats to rostygold via Claim Bounty for Dead Rats at the Dept of Menace Eradication (assuming you have enough rats to make the action cost worthwhile).[/li][li]Converting Trade Secrets to enigmas and mysteries via item usage.[/li][li]Trading souls for nevercold brass (spirifers only).[/li][li]Upconverting Tier 4 to Tier 5 items (mainly in the hopes of a rare success).[/li][li]Excess hinterland scrip to tinned hams for sale.[/li][li]Collections of curiosities to maps via the Tomb Colonies card.[/li][li]Investigate infernal fashions at the Clay Tailor’s to convert Rumors of the Upper River if you have maximally luxurious railway cars; do this before you cash out your jasmine leaves.
[/li][li]All jasmine leaves via the Gracious Widow on the Upper River smuggling card (requires the Widow to be on your Railway board).
[/li][/ul]And while not directly sellable, one should also remember to convert these items to things that are sellable:

[ul][li]Scraps to whatever best a relicker will offer.[/li][li]Attar to extraordinary implications in Arbor.[/li][li]Accumulated osteological items to bone fragments.[/li][li]Open those surprise packages.
[/li][/ul]Other trade-ins that are probably not cost-effective if you have access to a good grind include:

  • Wine conversions via a Presumptuous Opportunity (3-4 EPA for the first three conversions).

If the Gracious Widow is on your board of directors, you can dispose of all your Jasmine leaves on the smuggling card in the upper river.

Collection of Curiosities traded for maps on the Tomb Colonist card.

Hmm… by the fact that you already mention tinned hams (which require access to earling gardens), I would reccomend to check the EpA value for the conversions before doing them. Alot of new actions offer a baseline of 2.5 EpA (if I remember right, there are some grinds with 3EpA+, maybe check the making money guide in the wiki).

So it could be more interesting selling the stuff without upconverting and using the actions for more efficient grinds.

/edit: since PJ already mentioned the Collection of Curiosities, they can also be sold at Jericho, once you opened the shop there. I would have to check the wiki to see which option is more efficient.

Thanks for those PJ and Judaspriester! I definitely haven’t kept up with Upper River economy options so I’ll look into those. I am indeed mainly looking for > 5 EPA options as a cutoff since Helicon House opened, but I’ll add some of the smaller EPA ones for completeness in case anyone else is doing conversions downstream.

Little hint about scraps: the echos per scrap increase with the price of the item and max out at 0.48 echoes per scrap for the 3200 scrap items.
