This was somewhat-but-not-really covered in an earlier question I made about the easiest way to get a Ray-Drenched Cinder. There were some interesting revelations there, but it was quickly concluded that trading in 5 Eyeless Skulls is NOT the best way. At all.
Well, I'm ready to launch my expedition to The Nadir now - and I know how I intend to get the Cinder - but I still need ONE skull to get started. And getting one is proving... troublesome.
I thought 'Seeking Curios' was the way to go, but I've spent the last 3 days literally doing nothing ELSE... with brief breaks to deal with the constantly-rising Nightmares. Still no Skull. I've gone insane, recovered, reached 7 Nightmares again, spent half my Insights on getting rid of the nightmares with help from a friend, then reached 7 again... and still no Skull.
Meanwhile, my friend got two skulls from two expeditions to Temple of the Deep Blue Heaven. And then sold them, long before I could use them, unfortunately. Makes me start to wonder if I'm going about this all wrong. Odds of finding a Skull while Seeking Curios is obviously VERY low, and the constant nightmares are a chore to deal with... depending on how good the odds are of finding a Skull at the temple, it might be worth it even with the large number of Actions and Supplies that would have to go into it....
What's the verdict? Am I just being terribly unlucky, or is the Temple the way to go?

I think the RNG knows if you need something, and if you don't you keep getting it

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.

Yes, the insidious RNG in this game is... justly infamous. >_>
Anyway, I sent you a request, Lady Ciel - and thanks again. Such generosity is the mark of a true lady. ^_^
Now, at long last, the terrible secrets of the Nadir shall be MINE! MWAHAHAHAHAaaaa*cough* *cough* ...ahem.

We have a thread for this, though if that doesn't work out you're probably still going to want to try Seeking Curios. At least there a run of bad RNG doesn't cost you 50 actions per failure.
