Weekly Fallen London Questions, 28/04/2025

Here’s this week’s thread for quick Fallen London questions!

Am I understanding correctly that to get maximum Scrip from Rat Market, I should sell whatever I can (minding the Saturation thresholds), and then just buy Preserved Surface Blooms to sell in the Hinterlands market? Or is there some smarter way?

Buying wares for 1 Shilling, selling them for Echoes, buying Bright Brass Skulls with those and putting them on Skeletons with Seven Necks (or Headless Skeletons/Licentiate Victims) to sell them to a buyer that pays out in Scrip (or Scrip sellable wares) is generally more efficient. It costs extra actions though. If you just have a lot of stuff lying around and want to get it turned to Scrip, I believe Solace Fruit have the ‘best’ rate of Shillings to Scrip.

Oh yeah, that makes sense, because of those +10-15% payout bonuses. Thank you!

Another question, let’s say I have fully finished train line and 11 Board members, and want them to stay on the Board just for RP reasons (though I’m fine with e.g. rotating T.E. for Corporate Debt reduction). Is there a reasonable way to use this Board for anything remotely profitable?

(Members are: Cornelius, January, September, Tentacled Entrepreneur, The Dean of Xenotheology, The Delightful Reverend, The Drummer, The Gracious Widow, The Hell-Scarred Gondolier, The Viscountess, Virginia. And tbh I’d love to add everyone else too lol)

I don’t care about Banditry, I just throw Steel at it. On the other hand, my Player of Chess is only 11 total (I’ll increase it during seasonal events), and I’m not sure if this is enough to farm Epaulette Mates, or is it even worth it anyway?
