I also play the two bronze cards that give 3 x Memory of Distant Shores to PoSIs (The Cities that Fell and The Seekers of the Garden), because 1.50 Echoes worth of usable third tier goods is worth at least as much as 1.79 Echoes to me. Or maybe I'm just telling myself that because I like playing opportunity cards in general?
This quote from another topic has reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask for some time: how valuable ARE some of the higher-tier items, really? Ostensibly, they have a sell price to the Bazaar, but I've heard them mentioned enough that I know they're more valuable than they at first seem. Things like Memories of Light and Zee-stories are mentioned commonly as optimal rewards among multiple choices, while Storm-Threnodies seem to show up just about as often as Searing Enigmas, even though they're monetarily worth far less. Not to mention how absurdly rare everything in the Luminosity category seems.
The same thing goes for Connections--the Docks and the Widow seem to be far harder to raise than most other factions, but how does their cash-in rate compare?
Part of this comes from opportunity cards and storylets that allow for unusual conversion rates that are better than converting from the inventory, but part of it seems to come from rarity/difficulty to acquire as well. So what is the true value of the items in Fallen London?
