This guide is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.

Fallen London has a highly complex internal economy, and when deciding which items you can afford to sell, it can be hard to determine if there is demand for any large quantities of them. As such, a way of tracking large quantity actions is required.

This page exists to attempt to track every instance within the game where a large amount of a specific item is required to progress. The following rules as to what to include here apply:

Actions or items that have a high Echo cost are not included.
Actions which require a large number of different resources, such as some Ambition pages, are not included- although if an action does have a large specific item requirement in addition to various other resources, then that will still be tracked here.
If the expenditure is split up over a number of near-identical actions, that still counts for the purposes of this tracking, but should be noted.
Up-conversions of items are not included here; for those sorts of uses, see Item Conversions.
