The game seems very generous in handing out Criminal favours to me these days, I seem to have more than I know what to do with most of the time. I tend to go expeditions to the Forgotten Quarter just to spend them because the game wants to give me more and I already have seven. I don't play scientifically, though. I just do what I feel, rather than worrying about efficiency.

But that said, expeditions have been so fruitful on that score lately that I haven't bothered with any other methods of soul-collecting, and I'm still swimming in the things.

Question: What's the best way to grind Souls without Renown: Hell?
My character Aquila is a Soul-Shepherd & thus needs to gather a lot of souls, but doesn't associate with devils, so it wouldn't make sense for them to gain Renown to unlock the Unfinished Business option. I've been robbing the Brass Embassy to get those souls and infernal contracts, but is there a more efficient option?

Depends on how you define efficient. Thieves' Cache expeditions in the Forgotten Quarter have a 50% chance, give or take, or uncovering a cache of 500 souls, in addition to the other rewards. If you're capable of reliably using the boldest option, the expedition requires six actions (one to start, three to make progress, and two to deal with the results). If you count in the actions needed to gain the requisite Criminals favour and supplies (assuming you're using Docks favours for them), then it takes 14 actions and a small amount of Rostygold. Since favours aren't really grindable, per se, you may not want to use this as your sole option for souls (pun not intended, I really promise), but even as a side gig it's an avenue that an active Soul Shepherd probably doesn't want to neglect.

Still, it hurts to choose just one when I personally like all three. It may be a bit selfish of me to say I want to see all three 'sides' to the story. It especially doesn't help that switching sponsors in the future may involve possibly betraying them, something I am really not inclined to do to any of them. However, your answers have made me a little more at ease when it comes to choosing. In the end, we are all in this together. Now, who to choose...

Oh, great. Now who I choose may actually have a noticeable effect on the story. How can there be different sides to immortality? At this rate, I might as well postpone indefinitely until the story is further updated. However IC, delaying makes no sense and OOC, I am curious about the Court of the Wakeful Eye. This is frustrating.

You may wish to investigate the path to gaining certain Destinies for an answer. Or wait for fifteen years, I suppose.

I don't think it's related to the lady in lilac at all. Its about [spoiler] the bazaar [/spoiler]

Is anyone keeping a record of the people who have achieved Poet Laureate status? If so, what is the name of the thread where that is being done?
