I need some (300) phosphorescent beetles for a whirring contraption. Because they cost 0.25 echoes at the bazaar, and I need 300 plus the amount needed for the memories of light, I was wondering if there was a good way to get them besides the bazaar.

Yes, if you have renown docks 20, an (also expensive, but less so) option opens up in the docks that has a chance at one. There is also grinding at wilmot's end.

RIP suinicide, stuck in a well. Still has it under control.

One of my long term goals is to get all 3 newspaper qualities to 10, and this requires a total of 165 Whirring Contraptions (107 still to go...).
I've been collecting them (slowly) via Wilmot's End (and using either Wilmot's End or the War of Assassins to raise Dramatic Tension - depending on the stats I need to recover after the weekly Nadir trip).
