Hi all, just one question bothers me...during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, you are asked to collect certain tidbits for Leliana.

 

But after rushing around, well sautering around finding spots to eavesdrop or finding things in rooms to a total of about 30...(though I can only find around 12 at the most) you go and hand them over to Leliana  who promptly tells you they are interesting but won't help us much.

 

After all that searching and she tells you that!!? 

 

So why do we have to find them if they don't help anything? What does she do with them?

They are not important to find the assassin. It's just gossip about the people in court.

But you can use the gossip to manipulate the court. If Lord Fancypants asks the guards to kick you out, Leliana can swoop in and say you don't want to do that or I'll expose your love of Fereldan beer. So you have leverage and Lady Greenhat might be impressed.
Aka they give you a boost to your court approval.

And even if the game doesn't do it, all those secrets could help later when dealing with the nobility on other matters.

Tl;dr The secrets boost your Court approval by 2 (I think) so it's +60 court approval all in all. So while it isn't nessecary and doesn't uncover the assassin it gives you more time to do so and still have the respect of the Court.
It's also a 100% optional quest. You can end the quest with full court approval without collecting a single secret or a caprise coin.

Everything Krypp said They help by giving you a boost in court approval which helps for when you are taking care of stuff and lose approval the longer you are away. Also, if you go back and do it again you can find more secrets by revisiting areas each time the night progresses.  Lots of retracing your steps there.

Thanks...I did get 100% approval as I just carried on with getting the rest of it done. I handed in 14   And I got Celene and Briala together again.

 

I rather fancied Briala myself...

Ain't nothing but a heartache...

Just did a run on an elf mage, got 100 court approval before the dance with Florienne, no secrets turned in so, yeah if you're having a hard time use them but, it's a side quest. Personally I prefer doing the Caprice unless I'm reuniting then can't do them all because of doors. As for help with nobles later, the knowledge perk does enough of that.
