Hi Melody, I don't know where your birds have gone, but I know what happened here. I live in a rural area and we had a cat lady living nearby. She would go adopt feral cats, have them spayed or neutered then turn them loose in the neighborhood. By the dozens!! The local bird population really went down during that time, but it's been a couple years now since she left and the birds have come back in droves. We have Morning Doves, Finches, Jays, Warblers, even the Hummingbirds are back! Most special though is the Red Winged Blackbird. Have you ever heard one? To me they have the most beautiful call, very distinctive. Anyway, I don't know where you are but if you put out sugar water or bird seed... even some native plantings can attract birds ;)

Back to the game.... If you have 100 Cold Waters or Sentinel Horns and use them all against a lower level monster you will get 100 energy. 1 low level banishment item = 1 energy. If you have 100 Greek Fires and use them all against the Clot of Darkness you will have 600 energy. 1 crafted banishment item = 6 energy. Sure it cost a good bit of coin to craft them, but isn't getting 6 energy per banishment better than getting 1 energy?

You may be getting confused because there are actually 3 kinds of monsters. Low level, Mid level and high level. The low level are the ones that give 1 energy per each item-- Like the Werewolf. 1 club = 1 energy. The mid level monsters take 3 items to banish. But they give 3 energy per banishment, so it is still just 1 energy per item-- Like the Gremlin Squabbler. He takes 3 horns to banish and give 3 energy in return. So he still only gives 1 energy per item. the high level monster will always give you 6 energy per item. Plus, you always get a chest. I now have so many anomaly banishers I will never need to combine a collection for those. Hope all this makes sense, I am not always the best at explaining things. In the end, your method of play is whatever makes you happy, I am just outlining how/why I do things, in case you want to try it... ;);) Big hugs and warm wishes for birds to visit you  Bea
