Bone Market Recipes 05/08 Rubbery Reptiles
I can't find a bone post from the past few weeks. I don't know if the bone man is taking a break or has given up but I thought I would do my best at an attempt. If there are any good options that I miss, please pop them in a comment. First week doing it, and I am cream crackered, as they say in London. So if I am doing it again, I will get it in earlier and be more comprehensive. Be warned, my spelling will be bad.
The Carpeter's Grandaughter
1 Mammoth Ribcage(Balmoral)
1 Sabre Toothed Skull(Buy in bone market for scrip or Ealing Butcher)
1 Ivory Humerous(Bohemian Favours in Jericho)
Cheap Rubbish arm - Human Arm, Knotted Humerous, anything that fills the slot.
2 Ivory Femur(Buy from Bohemian Sculptress in bone market, use a fingerking weasel to drop your respectable to get her to show up, Needs Parabolan Orange Apples)
Whatever Tail you need rid of except plaster
Declare a Reptile
Sell on her card for a Leviathan Frame
Warning: A lot of these bones are substitutable for ones with similar value however she hates Implausibility so keep your mitts off the Bright Brass Skulls and Plaster Tail Bones. Also Doubled Skull will mean you can't declare as a reptile, so you won't get the 10% you need to get the value over 300 echos.

I cannot see any use for this buyer, you need a ribcage with 9 limbs to extract maximum value, which does not exist without extension. If it is possible to use productivly, it would be on a Fish Week.
The Trifling Diplomat - Ancient
Trash Disposalidocus
1 Prismatic Frame(Station 8 card)
3 Doubled Skulls(Balmoral - I added a bit to the guide on the wiki on how to farm it, it's a little confusing, start by doing the bird farm, then go back to woods, go to moonlight, hand in. Costs 1 more action than bird.)
3 Ivory Humerus(Bohemian favours in Jericho)
1 Tomb Lion tail(Ealing)
2 Plaster Tailbone(Researching bone papers)
Declare a chimera(doesn't matter if you fail)
Everything. except the tomb lion tail, in here is a bone that is hard to use as fast as you earn them. This way you put around 550 echos into the Crackling Trade and get a nice 81 Comprimising Document Bonus. The diplomat is unaffected by London fashion and doesn't care about implausibility so you can make a super weird chimera as long as his trend is not a specific type of skeleton.
Making Reptiles to Sell in the Bone Market
Design your own
When you are designing a skeleton, you want to keep the secondary rewards in multiples of 20 *Before* fashion is applied. Whichever multiplier is not fashionable is the one that gets and extra 0.5, or squared by 2.2 instead of 2 for single quantity multipliers. So you want the fashionable Multiplier as high as possible and the unfashionable as low as possible. The ideal would be 19 Amalgamy and 1 Menace or Antiquity. The payout would be 29 2,5 echo items. Unfortunately this and 9x2 are very tough to achieve. Usually you aim to go for 6x3 for a decent payout of 21 secondary, or 52.5 but this is Amalgamy week, which is the most common trait available on bones! We could make some 9*2 frames but unfortunately it is only 5 echos better than making a 6*3. Which is substantially easier.
Freaky Farancia
1 Thorned Ribcage(Various, Hell Favours in Jericho)
1 Skull in Coral(Jericho Locks Canals, not great EPA but very easy to get)
3 Helical Thighbone(Best Place is Paeleontological Discoveries, Other good sources available.
1 Femur of a Jurassic Beast(Also Discoveries, also lots of places)
1 Tomb Lion Tail(Ealing Butcher)
Declare a Reptile
9 actions to assemble, declare and sell(Take the slots on the ribcage and add 3)
Sell to a zailer with particular interests for… 489 Nodules of Warm Amber(Use for Stuvier, to make the london rubbery card over 8 EPA or in Ealing Bucher) and 23 Knobs of Scintillack(Use for Scrip or various other nonsense.)
9 actions - 4.45 Echo Profit from primary, 57.5 echos profit from secondary, 61.95 total.
6.89 EPA on assembly
When in Doubt Just Mammoth it
1 Mammoth Ribcage
1 Bright Brass Skull
2 Knotted Humerus
2 Helical Thighbones
1 Tomb Lions Tail
Declare a Reptile
Sell to a Rubbery Collecter for 311 Nightsoil of the Bazaar(Use on UR card to get 5.5e worth of mushrooms or sell for scrip) and 21 Baskets of Rubbery Pies(Use to pay off corporate debt in ealing or to buy Urchins on a card in Jericho Locks or just sell for echos.)
Profit: 66.64 echos 7.4 EPA on assembly actions
Apologies, I have forgotten to include the freebies on each of those sales. Both buyers give 2.5 echos over the skeleton value in the primary reward. I've run out of steam a bit. Going to sleep. I will edit and add more options or answer any questions tomorrow.
If you are still in the Estival and can hunt laws in 11 actions or less, on average, including clearing menaces, do that for 7.27 EPA and save your bones for a week when you cannot.
Also a quick reminder that the week after estival ends is the last time Tears of the Bazaar will be on the Rat Market before Christmas and they are useful for the Christmas event. If you can get stocked up on rat market options that is a good use of time as well.
I also have no idea why I decided to do this while I am super knackered. ;)
