Access to the Cave of Nadir or having Tears of the Bazaar around?
[spoiler]
Anyway, I'm currently finishing up acquiring supplies to go find the cave of Nadir and I know at the end you'll need 400 echoes to buy a Ray-Drenched Cinder.
And I have a thing of Tears of the Bazaar, which would cover most of the cost of the cinder.
It looks like the main uses of tears of the bazaar are related to christmas stuff, which gives me plenty of time to find more if i need it for that, whereas using the Nadir is limited by real time so it would seem to be that it would be best to unlock it as soon as possible so I can start doing weekly visits.
So my current thought is probably I should sell the tears once I complete the expedition, but I wanted to make sure there isn't something really obvious that I'm missing that'll come back to bite me.

Well, Tears of the Bazaar aren't exactly easy to get. You need some fairly rare items to convert into them, and need an opportunity card. Sure, they would cover most of the cost, but in my opinion you should keep them and sell other stuff that is more easily obtained again  Moreover, 7 tears can be converted into one of the most valuable things out there.

Most pleased to accept every kind of social action (except photographers and loitering) and calling cards.

Just as a heads up, the pence option for supplies is a very bad one and should be avoided if possible.

Appalling secrets aren't that good either, as they only give 1, always at the cost of 1.5 E of items. It takes a lot of time either way, though, I agree.

Well whispered secrets is average ~1.925 E for ~1.25 supplies, which comes out to 1.54E, Strong Backed Labour is obviously not the most cost efficient way, at 2.7E/supply if you use the sidestreets to buy it, but is 2.5 supplies/action which is possibly a more valuable resource
Porters is 1.7E and one action for three supplies if you value connections at 2 pence/CP, so I used it when I could, but I didn't have nearly enough connections to fund the whole expedition that way.
Mostly I burned through the resources I had, then went for strong backed labour since it was the fastest to get the rest of the supplies. (I saved the notes I had because I need those to get my academic reputation fixed, because oops.)
