Hello, my name is Koenig and I am looking to raise my status in Slowcake's Exceptionals, however I foolishly got myself exiled from the empress's court meaning that I no longer have access to the ideal method of making waves. Subsequently I am searching for other reliable methods for making waves that I can grind for a moderate sum of echos.

Oh, your BDR is 18. In which case you need about, on average, 1000 tales of terror for one round of sideways conversion, or about 650 for upward conversion. I'm ignoring the option of converting the extraordinary implications, because I can't be bothered to work out the numbers.

Or, as you've noted in your previous message, have just 50 Tales of Terror and side-convert them through the entire carousel 5 times.
(the full side-conversion carousel has 4 steps out of 13 which give MW, so going full circle gives the same amount of MW as side-converting 4x50=200 Tales of Terror).

I just want to put out there that The Tower of Eyes is a Frequent card, you can go from 0 to 17 MW in a single graduation, and you don't have to case-up and execute 200 thefts or spend vast amount of actions grinding out tiny MW boosts with substandard profits. Side-converting gives you, what, 20 MW for 13 A at 1.5 MW/A? An orphanage only needs around 1.1 epa efficiency to beat that, and you can get those echos grinding anywhere you want and raising your stats while you do it. Instead of taking yourself out of the game for a week to funnel items around for the notability you want, you can continue to explore it at your own pace and just feed the card when it pops up.

Upwards conversions turn a stack of items into a smaller stack of items one tier up in their category. Sideways conversions turn those items into a basically equivalent stack of items of the same tier in a different category. If you side-convert enough you'll wind back where you started.

Go into your inventory and right click on any 50p item. If you have at least 50 of them you will get a choice - to up convert to the next tier or to side convert to another 50p item. Four of the 50p items give MW when you side convert them - Tales of Terror; Zee Stories; Visions of the Surface and Incendiary Gossip.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Not saying that the Salon isn't a good MW investment, but it delivers its MWs in large chunks. It's very easy to over-shoot MWs like that, and then you have a pile of wasted MWs. Yes, you can store some of them, but then you're grinding the Night on the Town materials at a lousy exchange rate in order to save as many MWs as you can before the healer takes half of them. The side conversion carousel doesn't overshoot.
