Basically, I need any fixers from the free gift list starting with the gold button up, as those I still don't earn.

As you know, once you start earning the fixer, if you gift, you receive the fixers as TY's, as well as earning them thru game play.

I found it interesting that players who started after I did have a shortage of fixers like scale and petals. I have accumulated over a thousand of each of those. I started visiting and gifting probably thirty days after starting the game, so the difference could be that they don't gift/visit, or gift/visit enough when looking at the shortage.

The shortage on gold has to do with the cost/earnings ratio. From reading older postings, it looks like they did their first revamp of winnings etc when they rolled out the Treasury. Since I started in May of 2017, during the Mirror Hall event, I have only seen the lower earnings. Going from 2000 gold, to only 250 gold for completing a collection for the first time, and from free cotton and dragonflies to $9450 gold plus nine each of runes, flasks and flowers must have been a major shock to all of the "old timers".

So you need to play a normal room at 77 energy, to earn $250 gold. So thirty nine plays to earn enough gold for one dragonfly or cotton.

Game is definitely out of whack for a player who wants to play without spending any real dollars.

I came from playing gummy drop. You get three lives, which take 15 minutes to recharge. So real dollars don't need to be spent on the game as you become a more skilled player.

Enough rambling for me. And thanks for the help and advice.
