What exactly do I do to get CIs? 😏 Well, I am obviously manufacturing them.

Just kidding! First of all, my CI inventory was fairly lean for the first 130 levels. Starting from day 1, I played with a goal in mind - I first had to read all the FAQs and fine prints to get myself acquainted with the rules and logistics of the game.

I mainly played  quests - all the CIs can be obtained by playing all the quests; depending on my own needs, I had to schedule in specific play time to get CIs for tools or energy by going into appropriate locations and allocated my resources for rainy days.

Besides doing quests, I focused on earning as many SOVs as possible because the bloody energy issue continued to persist; however, there is a point in the game where your baseline energy is enough for you to participate in events and puzzle runs.

for some reason, I had no difficulty finding hidden objects when I started and did not need tools to play puzzles. I didn't think of taking a photo of mosaic or ancient cards until much later. I don't have infinite resources, and I do not combine the CIs frequently requested by the masses...especially those that are rare drops 😂. I combine expensive collections for tools with lower yield value but always try to keep the more decent ones in reserve to gift. Nowadays I play mainly to get more SOVs and pick up supplies for others, but the game is not any kinder to me than it is to others when it comes to rare drops.

At my level, it appears I need to play with Seeker 's Star to get CIs.

It helps to know where you can go to find the CIs you need, and even better, whether the drop rate is realistic enough to obtain enough CIs to combine a collection. I am not sure what I would suggest if one needs many tools to finish rooms that drop CIs for tools.

I do not use tools as a means of finishing the room but as an educational tool - I would use a single eyeglass to find an object in an unfamiliar location but I try to learn from that experience so I do not have to repeatedly use tools - if I did so, I would not have any CIs to spare for others.

it takes a long time to grow one's CI inventory.

I am aware that we all have different playing styles and goals - I have noticed that you like to play event rooms and get on the leaderboard.

I have more CIs because I play the game  to get CIs. I try to restock what I give out and take note of others needs. I used to have over 200 friends so I had the opportunity to study  wishlists and player maps. I can garner information on players just by looking at maps, wishlists, and stats.
