Curious if anyone's worked out what the optimal tribute is to start. I happen to already have a large stash of Memories of Light, so that's what I've been using, though it comes with the cost of having to visit the nadir before rather than after. Anticandles are fine enough to get from the Stacks but that's a pretty big carousel to have to do for a fairly small reward. My suspicion is buying Lightbulbs in the Khanate with the moon-pearls you get from weekly railway dividends is competitive but I'd have to actually do the math.
