*An amount scaling with the complexity of your cover identity with [[Realise your Cover Identity reveals the person you were]]; see [[Cover Identities (Guide)]] for detailed information. Some good options: 25x {{IL|Well-Placed Pawn}} can be converted into {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|x 4}} for 3 actions ({{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.33|Appearance=}}/action). Or, with 1 action to "collect", up to 16 actions can be spent at {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|x 1|Appearance=}}/action. Finally, building Backstory with {{IL|Mortification of a Great Power}} sourced from the Khanate approaches {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.63|Appearance=}}/action when spending Mortifications in bulk.
*Sourcing {{IL|Mortification of a Great Power}} via [[Hearts' Game (Guide)|Hearts' Game]] allows you to build {{IL|Cover Identity: Backstory}} at a rate of 1.3 per action. At its minimum conversion rate, this yields {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|x 29}} over 22 actions ({{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.32|Appearance=}}per action). In large batches, the efficiency approaches {{IL|Memory of a Much Lesser Self|1.35|Appearance=}} per action.
