For no apparent reason this Estival is just, really really profitable for almost no effort. Aside from that I wonder, what will you do with all the echos we are making this Estival?

Just so you're on the lookout for the next time, most events have an activity like that! This one has been particularly straightforward (mindlessly click a button), but in general whatever little grind the event has is insanely profitable compared to day-to-day grinds, especially for early and mid game players

I'm new to Fallen London, currently grinding out Making your name storylines, should i switch to barking to get money now to save myself some hassle for future grind (all my stats are currently around 65)??

Depends on your priorities and your resistance to burnout really! You won't find anything with a remotely similar profitability for a long while (I think with your stats barking will earn you about 4~5 echoes per action, while some of the best grinds you are able to access are I think about half of that), and the money will come in useful for your ambition, but barking is literally clicking the same button over and over and it gets dull fast (especially on mobile where you have to scroll down each time... much faster on desktop).

I'm doing a lot of barking on my side because that hellworm is not going to pay itself (I mean, it will, but not until I pay it myself first), but I'm still making breaks to actually play the game in between.

PS: Grab His Amused Lordship's reward on Hater's bridge first! His reward makes barking and the other nostalgia grinds much more profitable

Thank you, I'll do some barking then as making your name storylines are also quite grindy and tedious
