Drop of Prisoner's Honey[edit source]
In Veilgarden, gaining 35 is the 'lucky' option in 'Take a consignment of old props', and 'Doing the decent thing' will give you a regular 50 plus an occasional stolen kiss. If you have access to the Court, 'Discuss philosophy whilst taking the air' in "The life of the mind" provides 47 per action plus Making Waves but risks a useless rare 'success'. 'Join a picnic expedition' in "The Corruption of Youth" provides 45 plus Hedonist. Consider a loop through the Labyrinth of Tigers, as the final step provides 150 with "The Tiger Keeper wanders over".

Touching Love Story[edit source]
Convert from Vision of the Surface. Alternatively, with luck one can get them from Polythreme Streets or various rare successes. 'The seal of the hooded hawk' Conclusion of New Expeditions in the Forgotten Quarter can provide 3 Touching Love Story in addition to 1 Puzzling Map and 2000 Jades. sells for 2 echoes, 50 pence
Reliable grinds:[1]
- A walk in the villa gardens in Polythreme: 10 stories per ~12-action carousel (PoSIs only)
- ...a Sealed Archive from a heist at The offices of Baseborn & Fowlingpiece: ~95% chance of 8 stories per heist (requires Shadowy 90+)
- Ambush a few couriers for old times' sake in Spite: ~50% chance of 1 story per 2-action success (PoSIs only)
- Letters! as the reward for pickpocketing in Spite[2]: 1 story per ~15 actions. While you're out in the crowds, you can get an extra story if you meet Jack head-on whenever you happen to see him - roughly every ~21 card draws. (Total average: ~1 story per 8.75 actions.)
- Grind Visions of the Surface instead, and convert those to stories.
- ↑ Note: The seal of the hooded hawk in the Thieves' Cache is sometimes recommended as a grind, but the other options now available are better. The seal gives 3 stories per ~34 actions (~80/19 caches * 8+ actions/cache) at best - and per >>55 actions for those with pre-PoSI stats (>>13 actions/cache).
- ↑ You gain on average ~2.95 trophies per action, since the good cards are half as frequent as the middling ones. You need (4+1) actions to enter and leave the area. Jack is Very Infrequent, in a pool of 9 Standard and 2 other VI cards, all non-discardable.
