I'm grinding my way up to a tear of the bazaar
I need some more cellars of wine but have run out of Morelways. Apart from the portly sommellier opportunity card what are the good ways to grind some?

The affair of the box grind is a good source, so is one of the options in the velocipede squad.

I highly recommend the velocipede squad carousel.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).

Morelways, specifically, can be gotten mainly from upcrafting the cheap wines. If you are expecting to go to the Tomb Colonies soon, you can also trade in your Tomb Lion at the Labrynth of Tigers using only Toadstools.

It's certainly less efficient to get Cellars of Wine by upconverting all the way from cheap wines. The Velocipede Squad and Affair of the Box are good ways to get the materials for Cellars; I did the math recently and AotB is very slightly faster.

On the other hand, Velocipede Squad lets you level your main stats if they're not yet capped.

Also depending on your watchful level the occasional expedition in the forgotten corner is a great way to bypass the wine grinding and get aitrags, with a little bit of luck of course.
Granted I am not certain how effective this is now post docks update, as the cost of the expeditions can be very pricey now.

And of course, there's the Plated Seal run, which is time consuming but useful if you're going to Zee anyway

Rather than going into the math (unless of course, you're interested...), expeditions are now more profitable/efficient, but can be done less frequently.
Expedition Airag is a useful supplement, but probably not a suitable dedicated source unless you're feeling very patient indeed.

Affair of the Box can help with stats too. Well, Shadowy.

eh, when i was grinding i was getting 2-3 a week usually. I estimate that if you're willing to spend money like water- in which case your average epa will still be positive, but so low that that doesn't matter- you can be set-up for a 20 supply expedition in 8 actions, and do it in 10, if "a sign" doesn't show up in time to make things 1 action simpler. given that out of 160 results 21 are airag, it's about one airag every 137 actions- only the actual numbers will be a little better over time, as "a sign" is being ignored, but can shave off an action of using supplies and at least one action of gathering supplies, every time it shows up.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.

If you're willing to spend REAL money like water, it's even easier - there are four about equally likely outcomes from the Gallery of Serpents, one of which gives an Airag and one of which gives Tears. Plus there's the really helpful Ophidian Gentleman event.

can someone tell me the name of the storylet from the velocipede squad which pays morelways? I haven't found it having done all the options available to me: I haven't done the fate unlocked option and I have too high a Union Sympathiser trait to use another

The Velocipede squad riot option pays in Broken Giant - the step below cellars of wine in the wines conversion.
If you are trying to get cellars it is probably more efficient to work on getting something higher up the conversion chain than morelways.

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 relevant reward storylet is Riots in Watchmaker's Hill! with Riding the Savage Cobbles 7.

No, Box is marginally faster than Velocipede for Cellars - and gives Correspondence Plaques as a bonus.

Another good option for wine is the Repentant Forger challenge on the Rooftop Shack opportunity card (The High Castle). Success grants 1 Broken Giant and 50 Greyfields 1882, and failure gives you +1 CP of Acquaintance: Repentant Forger. (At Acquaintance 9, it's a 100% challenge.)

Note that it's only VERY slightly faster. The main advantage is the Plaques.

The Correspondence Plaques depend on which side of the Box you take. That is the slightly more profitable route. But the question I was answering was about the option on the Velocipede Squad that gave wine.
