I reached 200 Shadowy a while back, specialized, celebrated, married, and so on. (And have decided to save the grind to 15 Notability 'till after the Feast of the Exceptional Rose.) So for now, I figure I'll start grinding up some echoes - I'll need 'em eventually for goats and/or cider, and money's always nice to have! But that is when I realize that all the good methods for grinding echoes that I know are shadowy-based. Getting souls through Unfinished Business in the Flit and trading them for Brass, running through the Affair of the Box circuit for Mourning Candles... both pure Shadowy. There is, of course, the War of Assassins for CoC's and from there to Puzzling Maps, which can train just about any stat along the way, but that one's dependent on cards. (And I already got a healthy stockpile of CoC's awaiting conversion.)
So where does that leave me, if I want to train up my remaining three stats while making money along the way? I've heard the Velocipede Squad Carousel mentioned as an option, but alas, I seem to have... alienated those gents somewhat with my rather unconventional stance against police brutality and rampant corruption.  Any recommendations?

Yeah, only expedition options seem to give Airs values of 96-100 now. For persuasive you could do a lot of governing but I'm not sure exactly how profitable that is, though it's a pretty cool quality to raise and there are some high-level watchful challenges alongside the persuasive ones. For dangerous breeding beasts is okay; if you're at zee picking up a Seal can lead to a chunk of CP gain alongside the cellars of wine for handing in a Hound of Heaven.

Because I am far too lazy to calculate such things and move to another, more efficient, grind.

Wilmot's End can also take a shorter number of actions if you grind it very intermittently and wait for cards that give you extra CP on rare successes. (Probably on the last half of the carousel, so you can do Faithful Functionary on the first half.) It's a weird way to do it, and is NOT good for grinding stats since it's much slower -- but I find it does make things slightly quicker for getting Collections of Curiosities to occasionally sell to Tomb-Colonists.

I had the same question as the OP, but kind of the opposite. I have almost reached 200 Dangerous and am trying to raise other stats while making money. This thread has been helpful.
