I'm rooting for you, Lola! I'm sure you'll make it. You're not one that is easily deterred.

I agree with Wanda regarding the Playground room. Once I had finished all the Playground quests, I still needed to play around 50 more rounds to reach Virtuoso level. While doing those rounds, the room dropped around 5 treble clefs and lots of great passes each time (I was running a Seeker's Star which may have influenced that).

Although the Playground room gives really low XP, the other rewards made it worthwhile. I managed to get 2 SOVs while finishing event to the virtuoso level.

Oh, and to get the most out of your SOV, learn how to TT. I can run a Seeker's Star, Magic Folio, Piggy Bank, and SOV for many hours! It has helped me go up 10 levels this week, as well as complete the Endless Games and Lost Symphony events (I'm up to my 4th SOV from them).

TTing to prolong talismans is incredibly easy. Here's what I do. I pick a time that I find easy to remember (I like to pick 1:00AM of that same day). To start, I set my device time to 12:58 AM (gives me a couple of minutes to be sure I have them all activated by 1AM). Then I play like nuts. When it gets around 1:45AM, I switch my device time back to 1:00AM. Now I can play for nearly an hour again! Each time I get around 1:45AM, I switch back to 1:00AM and keep going... until my arm is killing me, my finger is exhausted, and my eyes can't stay open any more. That's when I finally reset my device time back to real time and let my talisman's go.

There are many variations on how people do it; that is just mine. I like to be overly cautious so I give extra time at the beginning and end. I set a timer on my phone to go off after 50 minutes just in case I loose track of time. Setting it to 50 minutes gives me time to finish any round I may be playing before setting my device time back to 1:00AM.

If you're running low on any particular passes, you can either play other rooms in hopes of getting the needed passes (yeah, slow way), put the name of the passes in your name (such as Al72LOCKS), and try to complete any collections that give the passes as rewards.

I already sent 50 TT gifts today so I need to hold off before sending more, but if you'll put LOCKS in your name (to remind me), I'll be happy to send you some tomorrow. 😊
