Items (Guide)/Most Valuable

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)

This page is only for Tier 7 and Tier 8 items that can't be bought at the Bazaar. Some can be bought with s, while others are converted from lower tier items. All of them require time and effort.

What are Tier 7/8 Items, exactly?[edit]

As discussed in the main item guide, most goods in the Fallen London economy fall within clearly-defined value "tiers." Items in each tier are typically worth about 5x as much as items a tier below.

T7 (E 312.5) and T8 (E 1562.5) are the two highest tiers, and items in these tiers are (generally) much harder to acquire than lower-valued items. Many T7 and T8 items don't have any actual uses in the in-game economy except as part of major, one-off storylines such as Ambitions. They mainly exist as prestige items for players to acquire as trophies.

What counts as a Tier 7/8 item?[edit]

This table below lists all Tier 7 and Tier 8 items that can't be bought at the Bazaar. Most T7/T8 items can be sold directly to the Bazaar for echoes. A few items (e.g. ) can't be sold but are valued as T7/T8 through other parts of the Fallen London economy.

OK, I want a Tier 7/8 item. How do I get one?[edit]

Some are harder than others. There are a few one-time opportunities for players to get a Tier 7 or Tier 8 item as a reward for completing major stories such as the Cave of the Nadir. Aside from those, there are repeatable sources for most T7/T8 items. There are a few noteworthy activities that are sources for multiple T7/T8 items; those are listed in table below. Those include:

  • Collecting Certifiable Scraps. One of the oldest sources for rare goods, trading scraps to the Relickers is a slow but reliable way for obtaining the T7/T8 Infernal, Rag-Trade, Rumour and Wild Words items.
  • University Laboratory. Players with access to the lab can acquire one T8 item, the , along with four T7 items by completing lab experiments.
  • Cover Identities. Players with access to Balmoral can acquire many T7 and T8 items by developing elaborate Cover Identities in the Cabinet Noir and selling or using them for grand larcenies.
  • Parabolan War. Players can aquire one of five T7 items as a reward for completing any of the main (5-stage) campaigns in the Parabolan War. This is currently the only source for obtaining a .
  • Hearts Game. Players can exchange exploits for several T7 items. Refer to Hearts' Game (Guide) for more information.
  • Rat Market. Players have a 1-in-16 chance on any given week of being able to purchase one of nine T7 items or one T8 item at the Rat Market, depending on the phases of the Rat-Wind and Rat-Moon.
