Gosh, I think I use 4 Seeker Stars during the event. I have 38 right now in my inventory, acquire them only through crafting, but I also don't craft them until I feel like I'm getting low. I have over 1,000 diagrams and keys because I don't craft items often since I'm finished with all the quests, but I also don't play with a lot of talismans since I do run out of energy and lose the talisman when I TT. Because the event room uses low energy, I feel like I'm able to play quite a long time with the SS since I already have all the passes I need to get through the event quests. Otherwise, I rarely use a SS when I'm just leveling up rooms ~ unless the room has really good collection items and then I just use 1 or 2 while getting to Master or Grand Master.

I think where our play is different is the number of talismans you use ~ but I think you're the norm and I'm not. I don't care about leveling up so I rarely run a Folio, but when I was at a lower level, I did buy the double experience subscription and would also run a Folio when I played to really crank up the experience. I have over 12 million coins so I don't need that talisman, and I TT when I run out of energy so I don't usually run an energy regenerator. What might be hanging you up is feeling like you're wasting your talismans if you TT to regenerate energy, so you get stuck having to use costly SOVs and energy snacks. Energy is everything to me ~ much more important than exerpience, coins, or CIs ~ so either I'm not going to care about losing the talisman, or I simply don't use one. It was a difficult mindset to get into, because I used to play like you do, but I've not missed a single thing since I stopped using talismans to play. I still have CIs drop, still earn coins, still earn experience, plus have unlimitless energy since I can TT whenever I want.

So:

1. Play low energy, premium rooms until you have 2,1500 event passes. Do not run talismans so you can TT to regenerate energy and continue collecting event passes. All you should care about at this point is earning event passes...not experiece, coins, or CIs.

2. Once you have 2,1500 event passes, run a SS and play event room until you run out of energy. I'm at an advantage over you because my high energy is 1700 right now and the room costs the same for both of us since it's new. If I run out of energy but still have time on my SS, I just consider it a loss and TT. Oftentimes, you're really just playing to get the banishing fixers so you can combine collections. If I've just TTed, I don't run another SS until I've combined the event collection and am on to the next quest.

Please continue to ask if anything is unclear. I've never really thought about how I play, so I'm afraid I'm not as concise as I could be.
