My artifacts ran out last night but I made a lot of great progress. About 5  minutes prior to the expirations and the end of my play for the day I got the SOV for the pearl challenge and I had 125 to go so I was very surprised by that. I was just hoping to make enough progress to be able to finish today but somehow it's done and I'm super relieved. I moved only to 26% detective on the event but with all the play I was able to stock up 1650 shards which by my math is 66 turns and would get me to 92% and needing just 200 more shards. Not sure if my math is great right now but I do think it's doable now as there are a few days left. I also made a decent amount of progress on some quests and I had a FM going so I got a decent amount of keys and diagrams as well to make myself some goodies. My eyes are bit strained and my brain is certainly a bit mushy but I'd say it was a success. I have some work to do still artifact or not but I no longer feel the avatar is impossible. I'll likely take things a bit slow today, just gifting, visiting and playing event room a bit. I'll then make one final surge to hopefully get the avatar and think it can be done now. I can't thank everyone enough for all the good cheer, the thread and offers of help galore. I really thought I might run out of thread as I was using CS a lot to find pearls and for shards but I was shocked by the massive response to my SOS. I have such terrific friends and I know the progress I made was due in a large part to that. I can't thank you all enough, but I will try - Thank You so Very Much!!!!!!
