Category talk:Opening a Bundle of Oddities
To help myself make decisions, I put together a spreadsheet tallying the cumulative average value of a given bundle. This might be useful information for some people as there are choices, like in "Murder's Afoot", where you pick a choice that gives 0.5 echoes of goods versus a max 106 Bundle of Oddities. (0.775 average echoes.) I'm not sure how to upload that information, however, except either via a link to Google Spreadsheets, or just plain attaching an expected value to the particular storylet that links to Bundle of Oddities in particular. (The latter being somewhat manually intensive.)
Also, some of the potential "rewards" of Bundle of Oddities have no echo value. (How do you price a Starveling Cat, aside from the obvious "negatively", or for that matter, losing your very own infernal contract/regaining your soul?) 68.13.222.30 01:39, March 22, 2016 (UTC)
Wondering, would you like it if I sorted these options by what rewards they get in a table?— Aximillio (talk) 13:33, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
- You can use a sortable table like this: User:Vae_Victis/Sortable_Bundle_of_Oddoties. It still needs work: I can't get it to align to center and ranges are problematic.Vae Victis (talk) 22:35, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

I first thought it was merely a rare option, but there seems to be a new option before the warm amber result. That may mean some storylets reported to give the warm amber result may give this instead. It also makes the numbers for that result uncertain. I'm farming up the decoy robbery for science.

Variable values[edit]
As of March, bundles of oddities may give a lot more variable rewards; see http://www.failbettergames.com/fallen-london-changes-march-2014. Does this mean we should only record max values, or ranges?
— Aximillio (Message Wall) 19:36, June 14, 2014 (UTC)
- Ranges. You still can't get Something wretched from Speak for a little while and ask them to disperse (at least I haven't seen it go below Something to burn?) so just the max number would not be sufficient. --Vae Victis (talk) 08:16, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
Thought so =) — Aximillio (Message Wall) 12:50, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
Re the "actions with higher max values" entries: does this mean all ranges are now 0 - max? Indigofera (talk) 06:23, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I *think* so. There's been enough of those that I've started to generalize. But seeing as I don't know for certain, it could be wrong as well =S
Edit: Btw, if you can think of a way to clear up the language, feel free to do so. English is not my first language, so what sounds bad to me might not be according to English customs and vice versa.— Aximillio (Message Wall) 19:40, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
