trying to find out if there's anything steady with a higher paying random reward than "Fun with the Fisher Kings".
thanks in advance.

If your domicile is invaded by rats, taking on the Lieutenants is quite profitable, at least in my experience.

I greatly enjoy meeting delicious new friends and participating in deliciously exciting new adventures! Please feel free to drop a card to meet for dinner, exchange favors, give an interview, or any other activity that comes to mind. I DO particpate in exchanges requiring Fate, BUT you must contact me first; twitter, facebook, or here on the forums via PM.
Note: I am currently exchanging parcels with a large number of dear friends and my parcel opportunities are rare. I am always willing to exchange but your rate of return may be rather slow. To find others to exchange with I recommend the Starveling list.

Piracy on the Unterzee gives random items, right?
In any event, why do you need a random reward? Are you looking for something specific?

I mainly use it for the cheap menace reduction potions.
5 Echos worth for wounds and nightmares.
Already finished the rat storyline. I'll check out the piracy one when I get up that high.

There's a story in the Flit called "The Big One" which unlocks with Shadowy 73. Always take the "The Decoy" option once your Shadowy is high enough, and you'll be swimming in random rewards!

Rupho Schartenhauer has killed a Master, well: most of it.
Cortez the Killer has killed a Master, definitely.
Deepdelver has become the progenitor of London's brightest star. It's... complicated.

Alas, no more. The Decoy now only grants 2 change points of casing... and the random reward is only worth a few pennies, making it substantially worse than the previous options.

It was always just "a few pennies"... 14 Ridiculous Hats and such. Still, you can do this as often as you like. Build your Casing... up to 50, sell most of it to increase your Connections, then do a robbery. It's a very profitable storylet in my opinion.

Well, not really. Pretty much anything (including lower level storylets) is more profitable. It's just that the gaining of such a large lump sum at once is more impressive.

Truly? This is quite a recent change then as just yesterday I was getting a full three points added to my casing every time I chose the decoy option, as well as some random trinkets.

News in the Neath: Noted citizen of Fallen London, Abraham Bounty, has acquired six hundred and sixty six souls. Additionally rumour has it that the lion's share of those souls was from a theft of The Brass Embasy itself. We are quite certain that this portents nothing ominous for him. Well, nothing unusually ominous anyway.
