I'm going to post here as well on the "Discuss" section some of my strategies for new rooms.

Pre-event: 1-2 days before the end of the current room ending, I check my map to make sure all of my rooms are either in CBA or contains an Anomaly. For those rooms that are not in either of those conditions, I’ll play them until they have an anomaly (saves my summoners if and when I will need them during the new event). This also helps me to re-acquaint myself with those rooms I’ve not visited for awhile and getting additional passes for the current room. '''When the New Room Becomes Available: '''After I’ve downloaded the new room I check my Collections to see what’s needed at the beginning of the list (which is specifically for this new room’s event and banishing the creatures). Then scroll down to the very bottom to see what the new collections are, i.e. giftable vs. non-giftables. I make note of the giftables and which room they can be found in (usually the last new room for most of these) and play that room to start collecting. I don’t assemble them at this point because they are needed during the quests. I want to make sure that I have at least one complete set of each. The non-giftables are generally needed for the second part of the quests and I don’t play these quests until after I’ve finished the main new room quests – it gives me something to do later and will always involve crafting, etc. so I wait.

Now for the new room: I will play this room until I have collected all of the first collection items but I will not assemble and trade right away tempting as it might be. Instead I’ll continue to play that room until I have enough fixers for banishing the creatures at least through the first 2 collections. I do this because at that level the fixers drop regularly but seems to diminish as you level up through the actual quests so for the first 3 levels Novice, Amateur and Connoisseur. Definitely one will need to visit other rooms to collect enough passes to get through (unless you buy them with those "special offers") these but I can always play the premium pass rooms to acquire enough to play through. Again, I may need to play these until they pop with an anomaly. Doesn’t hurt my experience points either. I used this technique for the last 3-4 new rooms and it works for me. Maybe it can help you too. Best of luck and happy seeking.
