I am about to acquire the use of a zee-going vessel through rather... insalubrious means, and find myself wanting of a crew of villainous coves. The gents in question are dashedly expensive, however. I've searched these fine messageboards for some little time now, and am having trouble getting any useful advice on the most effective ways of grinding for the more Appalling of Secrets. Would any fine, upstanding fellow citizens have some advice to impart?
Also, is there a better way to obtain the required Journals of Infamy? I'm currently nabbing them through some rather high profile heists... *preens*

I've heard that a good word from the Cheery Man with the Criminals of London can give you a place in their ranks. The Revolutionaries that are plotting against the Masters of the Bazaar are also looking for reliable people that can enforce their will.

Does this quality enable the action 'Fist-bump of the Bazaar'? Seems a waste, if not...

The Masters may be ahead of the Game in terms of information control, with their Special Constables and their Ministry of Public Decency, but they haven't yet reached the point of vetting every employee with probing questions like "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Calendar Council?"

You get a pair as pay out for the enforcer profession. If you are in need of a large supply, getting a few from your next paycheck might be worthwhile.

Right, that's it. We're travelling to Failbetter, possessing Alexis and creating a unique item called 'The Internet,' which will then be awarded to Fhoenix. It will be completely useless, but look nice on the mantelpiece.

Alas, that story is, indeed, finished for the moment, and we don't know when it will pick up again. If you sided with the Cheery Man at the end, you'll occasionally draw a card with a range of different rewards (though none of them Use of Villains, I think) - I've heard there's an equivalent card for the Constable, but it doesn't show up once the story's over (because she leaves London for a while, I suppose) and I know very little about its contents.

Getting Profession payments not only requires you to wait until you would actually get paid (up to a week), but if you're shooting for a new profession and don't have the right Connected then getting enough might take almost as much effort as just getting the items needed for making the PoSI items normally. Depending on the Connected required, at least; some are much harder to raise than others.
Anyway, topic of Appalling Secrets, converting Cryptic Clues is probably the best way. Those aren't particularly difficult to mass.

That's probably the best bet. University can make 50+ an action if you're not done with the plot there, or 40 plus Connected if you are, assuming you haven't been kicked out, and apparently Hunter's Keep and Mahogany Hall are good too, but the former requires going to zee and the latter I don't have experience with, so the Labyrinth might be your best option.
