Okay so the new update references an Emerald Mystery Event. There are things about Emerald Mystery I love and things I hate. I hate playing so many locations for no credit in the levels but I love getting so many anomaly summoners and dispellers, flowers/flasks/runes, the occasional rubies/paws and access passes. In the past, I've purchased the extra chest and found it very worth the money - especially with the 7-days or longer time period. However, I find it really difficult to find time to play 15 minutes uninterrupted. I can easily play a location or two, take a break, play with the dog, pause the game to talk to hubby, etc. Even at work, I'll sometimes play a game while talking on the phone or something - but not for 15 minutes.

In the last event, I treid a different strategy based on posters here. I played my personal goals for the first week or so, stocked EAPs and then ended up playing through to detective all at once. Then I waited and just stocked EAPs. I wanted to have 8000 stockpiled to play from detective to Expert. (Expert is generally my goal in events). Because I wasn't at virtuoso until really late, I received several "cheap" offers for EAPs late in the event and I bought them. I always aim to play all my EAPs and this event that put me at 11% Expert and in the top 200 for the first time.

So now my big problem - do I repeat my strategy or play around Emeald Event? I'm thinking that maybe since Festive Fun is first, I can work to stockpile EAPs. I'm thinking Emerald might be second because the update says there is a new desk guardian (why ANOTHER cat?!?!?) and the desk guardian is often the prize in Emerald. So maybe I can try to do the first part - play to detective - during Emerald.

This is the crazy circle of my thoughts - over something so VERY IMPORTANT - while I drove to work two hours ago.

Hopw everyone has a happy Wednesday !
