There's something I've wondered for a while: Is it worthwhile to sell items I don't need at the moment to get better outfits? Near as I can tell, bonuses to my stats act the same as if I'd gotten my stat up there the old fashioned way, albeit a little faster. It would seem the only advantage of better equipment is that I can access more lucrative options a little earlier, but they do not help me progress through the game any faster.
So, should I invest in better clothes? Or should I hoard every ounce of glim I can get my hands on?

It's not possible to get an Apple of Discord. They were special rewards for those who held the top positions when The Game of Knife and Candle was closed. As such, they're trophies and unavailable.

Primordial Shrieks are also eligible of an alternative tactic - every 50 of them, you can "use" them (in your Inventory). This unlocks a Watchful test (Straightforward for me at Watchful 30): on a failure, you gain a Wound point and lose 10 Primordial Shrieks, on a success you have a "Matter of luck: it could go either way" occurrence. The unlucky result converts 50 Shrieks into 10 Maniac's Prayers - that is, no gain: they both sell fo a total of 1 echo; but the lucky results converrts 20 Shrieks in 1 Aeolian Scream, selling for a grand 2.50 Echoes and leaving you 30 Shrieks. So I've currently access to an action giving me 20 Shrieks a time, and I usually follow this routine: 5 Actions to gain 100 Shrieks, 2 Actions to try and convert them. I'm doing it 4 times a day for a total of 28 Actions, leaving me 22 Actions free for intractions, curing MEnaces and forwarding my plot, and I'm totaling quite a lot considering that my highest Quality is less than 50 when fully equipped ^^
