Bea, you are correct. There are multiple players, myself included, that anomalize the map. Once everything is either anomaly or cba mode, you are one play away from planting the anomaly you need right where you need it. Anomalies also qualify for 'text' mode. I tell all players at level 50 or up- do not dispel an anomaly unless you have to for the quest. Your map will slowly gain anomalies and cba modes and you won't waist summons or dispels to get it there. When you do have a quest requiring a given anomaly count up your locations with the mode marked in red then look at your inventory to see if you have enough summons to convert all the reds to what you need. If you dont then start with a different type of summons until you have converted all red, then dispel your target location, play the cba mode, and summon the anomaly you need there.

Under my suggested mode of play if you have a room that you hate to play you can often avoid playing it. It may already be an anomaly when it comes up in a quest and a simple dispel can get you the collection item (unless it requires one of the other, non-text modes). If it is in cba then one play to get it to a red mode and a summons puts you where a dispel can get the item.

One warning: you have to get the room past Novice mode before it can take an anomaly.
