Hmm, I decided to copy and paste my responses to you since they have a penchant for disappearing when I try to post (also, my autocorrect function doesn't like this site for some reason). I will try to answer bits and pieces of your questions from our previous convo. -winding keys and diagrams: where are they, really? I do not have a specific place that I go to for winding key/diagram drops, as their availability and drop rate seem to vary with every update (unless we are talking about specific CIs that will get you some). I am still doing mostly puzzles (HL) because I am still stockpiling on SOVs...so I know where NOT to go if you want event passes (3-4 per play), diagrams (0 per 1000 play, lol), winding keys (two/30-35 plays, with eagle eye). I will refrain from "shameless name dropping" (<- really like this phrase for some reason!) but some of our friends have been busy working on flipping premium locations to grey, and they may have a better answer for you when it comes to gauging drop rate of winding keys and diagrams. I am hoping your time spent frolicking at moon court and sakura/sudoku garden prove to be more fruitful and that they haven't eaten your tools too quickly.

I have been sending you mostly bits and pieces of things that appear on your WL, trying to prioritize CIs that lead to artifacts, tools, diagrams, but feel like I don't get to send you gifts as often as I would because I am limited by the awfully generous CI gifting limit.

Energy level: I hit ground zero with a thud everyday, haha, and I do toss a thunder amulet/spinning top/fire crystal before logging out. Yes, I can totally understand why you tt! Your post had me realize that you won't be getting restorative energy from tting, but I didn't know tt people had to worry about using up their energy because I just assumed it was easy to stockpile.

Zooming in: I actually don't like to zoom in and avoid doing so unless I only have 1-2 hidden objects left to find and am in locations with which I am not familiar or have, hmm, a particular aversion to (Villa!). Candy World is not my favorite either. I think Newsroom sometimes has ridiculously tiny hidden objects as well, and since I play on a small device that fit really nicely into my delicate split hooves, those objects are not visible unless I zoom in, but I generally avoid zooming in 100% because I like working with a bird's eye view.

I realized that a lot of people from this forum are playing with a much bigger device or using a laptop/desktop so methods vary accordingly. However, I have seen many reviews from fellow Amazon kindle users who have trouble with the game due to the tiny objects and eye strain, etc. so my specific strategy (mostly lack thereof) may not help the general population or those who are farsighted.

Favorite locations: for now, it is the farm because I like my rare gemstones (so pretty!) but the high energy expenditure naturally limits the frequency of visits. I have thought of going to the farm fifty times while running an SOV, but the irony of collecting CIs for fire crystals while running on free energy somehow had me scratching my head. I think mosaic is fun because it doesn't eat my tools, and I can collect occasional lightening bottle and artifact CIs. Consequently, I have too many silverware (not complaining though as they appear on WL frequently), and the only thing that limits me from handing out spoons and knives to folks is the gift limit.

I have not been to this site for like 24 hours, lol, but I will soon. Thank you for the passes and the fixers, and yes, I will give a shout out if white thread count drops to single digit, lol. I find it funny that my regular game friends who are at higher levels send me thread, petals, and scales when they can, and I have one friend who sends me a daily resin, for which I am grateful because I have not yet had the glory of having to post resin on my WL! I hope you are having fun and getting your needs met (not too worried about you ignoring other people's needs, lol) and please let me know if you need something as well or if you need to specific CIs. If I don't have it, I wouldn't mind go hunting for it and I wouldn't mind using SOVs at all as it would be really fun and worth the effort. :)
