City Vices: what profit?
I'm pretty sure you also need to be a POSI to qualify for that option, but most importantly you need to have played the fate locked soul trade and picked a side.

I'll accept any actions, except loitering and Affluent Photographer (will accept dupes).

All methods of getting one are Fate locked as far as I know. [spoiler] If you are a POSI and have bought a certain story involving souls there is an option on a devil related card to sell your soul for a fabulous diamond [/spoiler]

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.

The card doesn't have a page on the wiki since it is Fate-locked content.

 Want a sip of Hesperidean Cider? Send me a request in-game. Here's an_ocelot's guide how.
(Most social actions are welcome. Please no requests to Loiter Suspiciously and no investigations of the Affluent Photographer)

One last question... Do you have to be a spirifier, or even shepherds can use that option?

While on this topic: I recently saw a post that NiteBrite made, mentioning Fabulous Diamonds. ( http://britetimes.tumblr.com/post/137528716829/whispered-hints-the-crystal-lodgings )
I've not played the game as long as many people here, but this *is* actually something I can conceivably work towards...
So I have three questions about this:
1) Does anyone else know of this thing that NiteBrite is referring to? (Or have a source of these rumours?)
2) I've read that the Fate cost increases each time when attempting to recover my Soul. How much Fate would be required to recover my soul 50 times? (I've already lost it once to the Quiet Deviless.)
3) Other than a stained soul, and living at a Remote Address (preventing the City Vices card from appearing), are there any other barriers to doing this grind?
I'd hate to begin the process and then find I'd already locked myself out of it for some reason.

1. I don't, but I wasn't playing when NB started.
2. A little under 7,000. Yes, I'm serious. That's over three times as much as it would take to cash in on the Merry Gentleman.
3. Cash. 7,000 Fate is about $1250 USD. The "grind" in question is more probably getting your soul back the free way (opening Bundles of Oddities and hoping for an exact 200).

Yes. As long as you have progressed to the end of the Trade in Souls, you can use the card. (I am a Shepherd and can speak from experience.)

Is this the most profitable way to sell your soul, or are there better options?

you can sell your soul at hallowmas for... special rewards (they are fate locked) but their value in echoes is the same

I take it back. At USD$1250, this is not something I could conceivably work towards. :-p
(The tumblr post suggested "By repeatedly selling and finding your soul, you could get to 50 fabulous diamonds while avoiding most of the fate costs." I guess I'd been looking at it the wrong way or something.)
Edit: OH! I see now - didn't think about Bundles of Oddities, etc. I just thought there might have been a cheaper fate-based way to retrieve one's soul than spending 40 Fate per conversion, and that was being referred to.
My mistake!

Right, with bundles of oddities this becomes a grind comparable to cider or the heptagoat. It's something you would be doing instead of those end game goals. Unlike those other two though, this grind is totally RNG based. Unless you grind the others with fidgeting writer then they are luck too in that case, but the point is they have non-RNG grind options (that are also non-fate). So I'm teasing you all with what is basically a cider tier grind, only harder haha :P

Hmm.. Given that I lost my soul maybe a year ago and still have yet to see it show up again I'm not gonna hold my breath on that non-Fate option. :-p
But to do the 'standard' non-Soul way of getting the Fabulous Diamonds, it'd be 40 Fate times 50 Fabulous Diamonds - so only 2,000 Fate total, rather than the 7k suggested above for the soul-grind. Even with a pre-requisite horrendous grind-fest towards Magnificent Diamonds, it's suddenly become *way* more achievable (from my perspective, at least.)
[Seeking a fancy (and quite possibly imaginary) Lodgings is increasing...] :-p

If you may "can Shepherds use that card option to gain a Fabulous Diamond" the answer is yes. My main character did so by accident....but hey, I was able to track my soul down again with another Fate-locked option, and now I have a Fabulous Diamond for my pains!

Unfortunately, looking Absolutely Fabulous does not give you a Diamond (but they lost their souls a long time ago!)

I would say, "Damn you NiteBrite for challenging me!" but I'm pretty sure he's been damned for quite some time now. On a serious note, I wonder what the chances of getting a 200 on A Bundle of Oddities... are and just how long a grind like this would take. Tempting, so very tempting...

The chance of getting a 200 on a Bundle of Oddities is one in 200 at best. Any option giving a bundle with max value 200+ can have your soul; the Your Public card's first option and being piratical at zee are the most common options.

The image of the card is a devil, so you may have discarded it without noticing that it's a different card than the usual devil ones.
