I actually did not have energy issues when I first started...I just did the quests and levelled up on time to get my energy restored. However, I think the learning curve can be very steep for some...I am not sure if players make purchases to replenish energy or tool reserves. You make purchases to resolve the game location. I kept failing to win because I ran out of time and/or energy. Suddenly they realize where you are weak, like the puzzles and all your location challenges are in those locations. The next thing  you know you have to wait for an anomoly to get the item and I have had several of the WRONG anomoly appear. That makes you go through the anagram mode and sometimes the cycle is vicious. I am losing my mojo here. Now every location requires at least 60-75 energy. so even at say 560, that gets eaten up quickly.

So you use talismans to stretch energy or slow it down, attain a greater percenetage of getting CI's, and/or experience. The next thing that happens at least for me, is that I have used all my energy in about 30 minutes and still have an hour left on the talismans. So I use up whatever foods I have, banish a few monsters and I still have 40 minutes left. I can wait or TT and lose them. If I tt and lose them the cycle starts all over again.

I think I am getting worn down.
