Estimating Echoes per Action

A thieves' cache! gets treasures with values 0–80. A Shrine of the Deep Blue Heaven gets treasures in the range 0–160. The average value of Uncovering an Unpredictable Treasure: 0–80 is 27.03 Echoes; the average of 0–160 is 54.67 Echoes. This doesn't include other rewards that the expeditions may bring.

The number of actions spent preparing for expeditions can be minimised by obtaining supplies via Favours: The Docks or Strong-Backed Labour. There is a guide for minimising the number of actions for expeditions, which can be read here.

These options generate (2 + UaUT/10) CP of Connected: to the respective college, and (4 + UaUT/2) CP of Making Waves. Even the best possible Fate-locked treasure will only give 26 CP of Connected: and 124 CP of Making Waves. Hence, you may want to consider the exact treasure value before making the decision to donate.

The Shrine of the Deep Blue Heaven expedition is unique among those listed here in that it has a chance to not reward a donateable Unpredictable Treasure, instead giving an Eyeless Skull.
