Whatever you create, it will basically give you a bit more than one Echo per action worth of the various {{e}}0.01 items. This is assuming you pass the challenges at 100%. Investing favours or items increases {{IL|Inspired...}} but, well, you pay for it.

The optimal choice to get complete works the fastest while {{IL|Persuasive}} is below 148 is [[The Decency Evaluator]], which will complete a minor work in 11 actions, cost {{IL|Foxfire Candle Stub|550 x}}, gain an average of {{IL|Secluded Address|6.6 x}}, and gain an average of {{IL|Suspicion}} +7.7 CP, which works out to (17 - 5.5 + 6.6 * 0.50) / (11 + 0.25 * 7.7 + 2) = '''0.99 EPA.'''

The optimal choice to get complete works the fastest while {{IL|Persuasive}} is below 148 is [[The Decency Evaluator]], which will complete a minor work in 20 actions, cost {{IL|Foxfire Candle Stub|1000 x}}, gain an average of {{IL|Secluded Address|12 x}}, and gain an average of {{IL|Suspicion}} +14 CP, which works out to (30 - 10 + 12 * 0.50) / (20 + 0.25 * 14 + 2) = '''1.02 EPA.'''
  
Once you have {{IL|Persuasive}} 148, [[The lead]] becomes the better option on works other than poems and novels. At {{IL|Persuasive}} 167, there is no chance of failure and you can rack up the needed Inspired with 11 actions, netting a whopping 17 / (11 + 2) = '''1.31 EPA.'''

A much more profitable, albeit much slower method involves using the {{IL|Augmented Electrostatic Machine}} from Estival in combination with [[The pleasures of the Neath]] to generate large amounts of Hedonist, and then turn that into {{IL|Ivory Femur}} via [[Fertilise the tree with the twin powers of electricity and hedonism]] and [[Convince her to produce an elaborate forgery]]. The EPA of this is more difficult to calculate (a full breakdown can be found in <ABBR Title="Link missing">this Google Spreadsheet</ABBR>) but ranges between <ABBR Title="Values need updating following patch of 8 Mar 2024">3.48 and 4.11</ABBR> depending on many variables.
