Magnificent Diamonds

Frensus Posts: 102 9/5/2014	Hello, I'm in the process of constructing a Zubmarine and am in need of five more magnificent diamonds. I've found there are two likely options here: expeditions in the Forgotten Quarter or getting lucky diamond bags from Empire Adornments. Which of these is more efficient? Bulk diamond purchases seem like they would be more action-efficient if I already have the clues, but if the probability is extremely low it could just blow through them all. The action cost of expeditions is higher, depending also on which one I choose - is the thieves cache as likely to give me diamonds as the Shrine? Less? More? It's all a mystery to me. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Frensus Currently targeting: NiteBrite's Fabulous Diamond Diversion (1/50), Breath of the Void (3184/3200)

Looks like I'll be back in Wilmot's End for the whirring contraptions sooner than I thought. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Frensus Currently targeting: NiteBrite's Fabulous Diamond Diversion (1/50), Breath of the Void (3184/3200)
