LuvG - I have found similar to you as reported elsewhere. To maximize your return did you try "crossing off the room" after you received a piece? In doing this as you move down your list of friends you may find that you receive more toward the end. Now i have read some say they get more from Lower Level friends...but, my guess, is that they move from left to right in the friend Visit window, ie.starting with higher level friends. Try starting at the Lower level and going right to left. As you receive a CI from a room charge cross it off the list and moving forward don't check that one. (Please note that some rooms do have multiple hidden CIs in my experience but by doing this method I consistently "earn" a roughly 50% award rate on my time investment. I have 58 friends currently and for several days counting have won 28-34 items.  Variety is what I think helps the most. Don't forget about trophies but don't overstay your welcome clicking on them either. Bounce around...if you charge "Joe's" map and win in the Treasury, try going to the middle or left side of the map for "Bob's" - again - ignoring the Treasury for the time being.  Try this and let me know what you discover. I have received valuable pieces from all levels of players so I don't think only the high level maps have a monopoly on those. But I do find my better friends, those who gift regularly and do gift a CI daily or periodically, tend to have maps where I may be rewarded with one of those hard-to-get pieces like the disguise, the winding keys, the matchbox, etc....
