So I have finally unlocked all parts of the map, but I am now kind of lost. I have found myself going from the Labyrinth, to the University, and the Palace in a cycle. But the Bazaar Side Streets also have my interest. But the problem with that is that I do not nearly have enough items to do ANY of the gold storylets. I can craft them yes, but I do not even have the necessary items for that either. and half of them say either "Go to Wilmont's end" or "Delve deeper into The Great game." I have tried the wiki, but I cant wrap my head around it since it seems I end up at the same place I started. There is a hundred guides, and I do not know which one to use. And right now I feel I am at a crossroads. I can either spend a whole month grinding to get every crafting item I need, or ask if there is a more smarter way to do things. If anyone wants to PM me so I could explain my problem in more depth, feel free to let me know. Or link me to something that wont make me want to take a permanent vacation in the Mirror Marches.

Most of the items you need to craft the POSI items come from one of 3 carousels: Fighting a War of Assassins, Searching Out a Missing Woman, and Doing Business in Wilmot's End.
Fighting a War of Assassins storylets can be found in the Forgotten Quarter and the Flit once you've unlocked the carousel. The second two carousels are available in Wilmot's End, as soon as you unlock that area. All of these stories can be started by going to your Lodgings and selecting "Find New Stories: Chat with the local gossip." You may need stats up to 110 to unlock them.

Almost all the PoSI items with cards are worthwhile these days, so there's little reason not to craft them. Gang of Hoodlums unlocks better grinding, God's Editors gives a Church favour, Clay Sedan Chair gives a Society favour, Respectable Landeau is 2.1 EPA, and the clubs are +4 BDR. The only ones to consider ignoring are the Library and Gymnasium.

Get them all. Wish for a fire to burn the library (which is, indeed, the only useless POSI card).

Important warning if you plan on playing the game for a long time: many (most?) of the items you can craft in the side-streets insert cards into your deck, and can never be gotten rid of (not even with Seeking, unlike lodgings). Don't just try to be a completionist: you'll regret it down the road when you draw, for the 500th time, a useless card that's not worth playing from a useless piece of equipment that you never use, and realize that you are forever stuck with having to draw these.
If one day you decide you don't care about your deck anymore (say, you maxed out renowns, got all the 3k scrap items and don't want to see a single scrap more in your life, you're grinding echoes in the Court where there's no deck, and you've reached Paramount Presense and don't want to see a single point of MW again in your life) and want to be a true completionist instead, you can always grab them again. Plus once you're really into the late game, most of those become very affordable, so you're unlikely to even need to grind to get any of them at that point.

True but... getting these items and feeling like an actual POSI is part of the fun. Someone who just became POSI wants to experience as much of the game as possible - if they are still playing two years after, the (still profitable) cards will not be that annoying.
