*These items can't be converted via your inventory, but must be converted via a storylet elsewhere

The 50p item of each category converts into another category, at an exchange rate of 50:51. (One category, Mysteries, has two 50p items, Tale of Terror!! and A Journal of Infamy - so it appears twice in the below.) For example you can create Whisper-Satin Scrap (3rd item - Rag Trade category) with Strangling Willow Absinthe (3rd item - Wines category).

Conversion rates:

  • you can convert 1 Echo's worth of the Base Item into 1 Echo's worth of the 10p item (usually 100:10)
  • you can convert 10 Echoes' worth of the Base Item into 10.5 Echoes' worth of the 10p item (usually 1000:105), but no chance to get a lucky bonus
  • you can convert 5 Echoes' worth of the 10p item into 5 Echoes' worth of the 50p item (50:10)
  • you can convert 50 Echoes' worth of the 10p item into 52.5 Echoes' worth of the 50p item (usually 500:105), but no chance to get a lucky bonus.
  • you can convert 25 Echoes' worth of the 50p item into 25 Echoes' worth of the 250p item (50:10) (Converting to Collated Research is more expensive if you are Unwelcome at the University.)
  • you can convert 62.5 Echoes' worth of the 250p item into 62.5 Echoes' worth of the capstone item (25:5)

Wiki Note: Item conversion into Tier 6 and up is typically not possible. These items must usually be gained via other means.
