In general, what Momxxx states above is a good general guide but here is a different perspective. I’ve been monitoring the Visit sessions closely out of curiosity and found that more CIs drop when room choice to charge varies. Rather than always click on the same locations based on what a friend should “need” from me I would choose different rooms/trophies/stations each day I visited. Over the course of 3 days most rooms/stations got a charge from me on each players map. I also did not stick to charging the same rooms for all players each day. After a CI dropped from a particular room I kept it out of my charging rotation for a bit. While some rooms do drop more than a single CI I found by keeping track of the rooms that did and focusing on the others I ended up with more CIs. That said, I did apply common sense and did charge the same rooms for some beginner players because they are in those rooms the most. But to say non-tt players only play the Garden, Clothing, and Dressing rooms and focus on charging those….meant a significant loss of CIs for my time. Even the lower level rooms players do play and they do hold some great CIs…so click on the Mine for a few players if that room has not yielded any CI yet!

Popular rooms for more than a single CI varied by day (presumably as players progressed through the challenge and played those rooms). So the Clock Tower delivered extra CIs from multiple players early on as did the Enigma Room but over time those rooms were duds.

For my game, while the conventional wisdom tells a Joker talent player to charge my Premium Rooms to reduce entry cost….this actually hurts me with my own goals of gaining XP. Also, the room charge helps win certain CIs in the collection sets. So the Joker, for example, helps me win the first item in a set or more of the set visible in the scroll window of possible rewards at present. For me, I would much rather the Jokers charge rooms where I need that first item…like the map, the affenpinscher?sp, the rod…In short, I would like Jokers to charge a variety of rooms and NOT stick with just the expensive ones. I used to have a friend who was a joker that would charge the rooms I needed at the time…now I am in search of a replacement Joker with whom I can message at times.

This is all just giving any reader more data points. There is no “hard and fast” this is right and this is wrong. Different players have different needs for sure and different strategies for their game. Mom’s advice above is a great guideline but know that you may have friends that don’t want that “conventional” charging. Consider keeping a piece of paper when you Visit and marking off a room as it drops a CI. Try focusing on others as you advance through your player list and come back to that room later. That’s my advice. And there is no downside as your friend is getting rooms/stations/trophies charged and the first two stack as Mom stated...not sure about the trophies stacking, though.
