The Rat Market is a real-time dependent carousel which cashes out a selection of three items from a fixed list, on a fixed cycle. These turn into an intermediate currency, , which must be spent before the market closes for that week. These Rat-Shillings can be used to purchase various things including items at equal prices to what they'd be sold at when sold to the Bazaar (meaning that the currency can be directly converted into echoes), or important items at prices cheaper than bazaar prices.

In addition to the above, it should be noted that there are many items which are intermittently sold at the Rat Market, being dependent on either one or both of the world qualities associated with the Rat Market (The Direction of the Rat-Wind and Phase of the Rat-Moon). These qualities change weekly at the closing of the Rat Market and thus give about a a week's lead time to grind the required resource to sell to the Rat Market that week, if you wish to buy them.

Of these conditional items, many of the two-quality-conditional items are incredibly [hard/involved] to acquire outside of the Rat Market, and as such should be prioritised when they appear if required for your ambition. As such, the following five tables give a following five tables refer give a summary of important items either hard to acquire, or much more efficient to acquire at the Rat Market, and the weeks that they are dependent on.

Further down the page, there is one last table highlighting efficient methods to grind resources that can be sold to the Rat Market. For brevity, this list only contains pre-Railway methods. (pre-Parawar, and pre-thing?)
