I have reached 77 SMEN and will head North after Hallowmas. However, I have 46 Fate sitting around. Which Fate Locked Exceptional Tale would you recommend that I take as a last huzzah.
Lore is more important than material rewards. You

What's the best way to cash in hell connections? I've become suspicious that the connected->renown conversion for hell may take quite some time, and I want to get into jail without getting a criminal record by failing to rob the brass embassy. Before I do that though, I'd like to liquidate my connections.
Is trading connections in the forgotten quarter the best way, or is there a better way?

Some time ago I progressed through the Intimate of Devils storyline to level 9 before deciding I'd rather keep my soul. Now my deck is cluttered with croquet games and infernal dinners and the like. What's the best way to minimize the number of cards this story spawns (aside from giving in and handing over my soul)?

Mechanically - just do everything to lower the 'Intimate' quality. You can get it to zero this way, and will be left alone then.
Even faster - get your soul stained. Just once. You'll only need them to notice once, and be rid of them forever. Although... I actually just mention this for... Hey, it's most efficient, innit? And completely painless, also. Totally. No hidden agenda there. Trust me. Why wouldn't you?

I have "Embroiled in the Wars of Illusion 25", so to my knowledge I am finished with that storyline. Now, I read somewhere that you could reset the story (and thus explore the other side of it) by raising Bats, Cats, Seeking and Investigating to 5 again.
Is there any truth to that?
EDIT: I just found the "Shroud and the Glass" thread below this one, so I am guessing that what I heard is indeed not true.

Not really. none of the ways of cashing in hell-favors on a large scale are all that good. Conflict cards, I suppose.

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.

Darn. I ended up redeeming a lot of it at the court for inspired, though I know this isn't the most cost effective way to get all those poems and novels (each action essentially costs me ~60 pence to get +5 more inspired than I'd get otherwise).

No easy sources, to be honest. You can get them when hunting the big rat, if you have a pleasure yacht at zee, with a luck challenge in the court, from your plant at certain levels, and from a long shot luck chance from Mr Pages at the Labyrinth. It entirely depends where you are in stories.

You know, I hadn't even thought of staining my soul! That would be quickest, and useful for other totally harmless endeavors...
Thanks for the suggestions!

You're overvaluing hell cp. The original estimate is 2 pence, but that places the value of actions without cards at 0. 120 cp for 2.4 echoes brass is (2.4 - [value of one action])/120 per cp. For most people who've unlocked the court, that places one cp at 1 pence. for post-game players who can 100% box, it's closer to 3 cp for 2 pence. In short, unless you're burning through ~60-90 cp, you're overvaluing hell. {also, the best method is prisoner's honey, it's that much faster.}

It's 15 cp per 240 brass, not 120.
Also is this what you mean by using prisoner's honey?

no, this one: http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Composition:_the_high_path
Either the wiki is wrong, or the wiki was wrong, or I stand corrected. Pick one.

Then unless you want to spend some fate, it is the only way.

Is there such an option? Hum, is it more interesting to get it via text or Heist? Or the text is the same?

There's an option under courier's work in the spite. I think the text is more interesting.
