I am grinding Antique Mysteries in order to purchase reservation at Royal Beth, but my current way (Stealing them from Feducci) doesn't look like particularly efficient route. Any advices on that?

The next one is light fingers, but I doubt theres a list.

Probably not, as an update would finish every ambition but light fingers. (We've done our waiting!) Personally I'm starting to think they just put the rest of light fingers in one update.

Also that would be a lot of stuff for one update.

I have a somewhat....situational method of doing this. Firstly, it involved being a monster hunter, secondly, it involved having a boat, and lastly, it involves having access to the beast breeding storylets.

Effectively: Go out to zee, grab a seal with the monster hunter option (gives 1 antique mystery), take it back, either beat devils into a pulp for a bit or just tame the thing.

Taming gives passphrases, beating devils gives antique mysteries, theoretically the passphrases will get you the stuff faster, but will also require a few tomb colony favours.

Using this method, I got my reservation is abooouut three days of consistant effort.

I actually created a thread considering the efficiency of the method, and I believe it ended up in my favour because of the monster hunter bonus mystery. Just because, well, it takes just under 20 actions to make the zee voyage on an average run, and that gives you one, and then 8 actions later, you can have another 3 or therabouts. Averages out to about one mystery every 7 actions...which is actually some pretty decent epa all things considered.

Again though, very situational, and if you dont have all that pre-req...well, it's really, not a useful idea.

I was finally able to get Soul Trade and become a great Shepherd, but the certain card cures my nightmares as well. As I want to draw The Interpreter of Dreams card, I was wondering what actions increase nightmares on success, but also provide a decent benefit.
I'm Seeking Curious in the FQ, but are there any other options?
Besides a Public Lecture, what other profitable menace actions exist out there? Regarding cards, besides the City Vice nightmare and, from what I read, the Velocipede Squad card.

I've heard that Tears of the Bazaar have a 1/5th chance of burning up, and if this is correct then you can probably expect about 6 levels on average.

Sorry, wrong question- how much volume, from the description, do you think the vials of tears hold each? I'm wondering if it's, say, 1 fluid ounce a vial- in which case, i have 1/4th of a gallon- or 4 fluid ounces, as a google of the smallest standard flask size claims to be- or 2 fluid ounces, or 8.

I want enough to drown a master, and i'm wondering how much i'd need to dilute it.

something like that, i mean.

77 is usually enough, if that doesn't work, make sure you have 777 around you just in case someone decides they don't want to die, and is it just drowning a Master or will there be more? We need more information! (And for the love of God make sure Veils suffers somehow too).

If you're reinstated you can help a colleague with a problem in the university. Otherwise you can donate what you find from archeological expeditions.
