Talk:Obtain a Permit from the Bazaar/@comment-67.58.198.103-20151219170701/@comment-25312865-20160115024646

It's at least 20% more expensive in pure items terms, excluding the bonuses and rare successes one gets when converting the Nostalgia items, and ignoring the Bohemian connection loss.

However, Baseborn and Fowlingpiece only takes one action, and I cannot see a way to get a permit with only 100 Notions and 10 Visions. Therefore the price here could be cheaper!

To get 210 Bazaar Permits (avoids remainders):

Hold a salon dedicated to nostalgia for the Surface 50 times to convert 25000 Romantic Notions to 5250 x Vision of the Surface.

Speak with bohemians about lost loves and the Surface 105 times to convert 5250 Visions to 1050 x Touching Love Story plus bonus 10500 x Bottle of Greyfields 1879.

A rare business 42 times to convert 1050 TLSs to 210 x Bazaar Permit plus bonus 8400 x Cryptic Clue, minus 840 CP loss to Bohemian connection.

So, 210 BPs takes 197 actions and costs 25000 RNs + 840 CP Bohemian, with a bonus 10500 Greyfields 1879s and 8400 Cryptic Clues.

Conclusion

Divide by 210, and in the long run each Permit costs 0.938 Actions, 119.04 RNs, 4 CP Bohemian, with bonus 5 Greyfields 1879s and 40 Cryptic Clues. But how many actions do 4 CP Bohemian cost? 2? That would be 2 Echo opportunity cost lost. (Assuming each Action earns 1 Echo on average.)

Compare that to the B&F cost: 1 Action, 100 RN, 10 Vision (equivalent to about 48 RN), and no Connection loss.
