I craft for the CI items -  the treasure chests from the lady or medusa or "net". I need pieces to landmark inventions, seeking anabelle, etc... Many of the pieces that come out of the treasure boxes I cannot win in games like above and  the Indian Costume. Also, sometimes I only want to TT on a given day and this is another way to win some CI if I don't play the games. I don't have tons of spare sets like most here do. I'm trying to get at least 2 of everything but in some cases (easier collections) I now have 4 sets saved but not cashed in. This way I can send a set to the laptop if needed or help out others with WL items. I have several unfinished sets that I might only have one or two pieces of - they are all non-giftable. Also, I still need to craft over on the laptop just to keep afloat with feathers and fangs (I have about 50 of each now thanks to Sheils as she always shares them and won't put them on her own WL so I can give them back) - I earn 2 per day myself and win the treasure chest from the Clot Monster or Werewolf. The only other way I can win the non-game pieces is to wait until one shows up when visiting or charging. I no longer need flasks nor runes due to TT so I removed them from the spreadsheet. I really hope Mytona does not stop the TT aspect and I think it would be a poor marketing strategy on their part. This game takes way too long to craft items (even if someone does charge the rooms for you) which means you only get to play each day for a short time with the given energy - especially in the beginning stages. Mytona loses customers who don't want to only play a game for 10 minutes a day because they have to wait for more energy (or pay). People do buy in app purchases only after they are attached and happy with a game and play it alot. This is why Dice with Buddies is so successful. Customers get angry at games like this one (and Criminal Case) with the limited play energy per day. I should go market for them. chuckle.

As for collections...I need to build up flying time pieces again which is why I wanted that Seekers Star. It helps me win them in certain rooms. I only have 18 timers left on the main game (and probably five or six on the laptop) but do have 4 or 5 sets saved up that could be cashed in (like a few modeltown and cufflinks). I have plenty of the purple lightning in a bottle, magic lanterns, and eyeglasses stored as I cashed in sets early on not understanding the game fully. I need the flying time in the Ancient Cards, the TB, and Haunted Lights alot. So that's why my game play focus (until we get an update) will be to use talismen that win tools :>)

You can always send me that mace soldier on either game as I have only won him myself maybe once on the laptop and twice on the main game. He's a stinker. I have more of the other soldiers. It seems the majority of items I have trouble winning are in the 4th or 5th position but hiring a joker has helped me occasionally. Here are the pieces I have trouble winning in each set, in general. So if/when you are in the Fairy Godmother mode pick one and know it will always make me smile to receive!

the ink blotter, the greeting card, the bracer, the cheesecake, the typewriter in the reporters satchel, knight with mace (I nicknamed him "knight of malice"), the dowsing device, the sugar bowl, the heart crystal, cheese,the rosehips, Hera's diadem, cat mask, angle bracket, St. Bernard, the lure, the tetradrachm (I only have one of this sucker), the candle, the chestplate, the musket and the revolver, the mansion, the chinese fan or green tea, the brush (detectives kit), the windmill, basket of lilies, fire dragon feather, and key amulet.

Those are my "love it when I win one" list of hard to get items. :>)

Now, were you more successful with the wheel? Yesterday was a dud day for me with the wheel and I was too tired to do a repeat TT. I think I did win a gold bar on the laptop but didly squat on the iPad. Do you need anything or have a list of items that make you smile when you can add them to your stash?
