We all have different playing styles, but here’s my 2 cents. I wish everyone would charge my crafters first. I, too, have a stash of magesteriums (magesterii?). When I used the last one, I ran out of charges on my crafters before the two hours was up. I would have liked to run another, but I’m afraid to run it too soon for fear the same thing will happen. Incidentally, the only time I craft is with a magesterium, unless I have a quest that requires it or an event that requires the crafting of stars. Since it had been a month since I’d last run a magesterium, I was surprised at how few people had charged my crafters in order for me to run out. I ran a thread shortly after we were no longer able to extend talismans and, while it didn’t get a lot of response, the consensus was that people were now counting on their visitors to charge their crafters in order to take the best advantage if magesteriums.

Mytona, I’ve noticed, does round up on the energy deduction for a Joker’s charge. Personally, if I want to get in another round on a low energy room, I’ll usually hire a joker. I much prefer my jokers charge my most expensive rooms, especially the premium ones, but any expensive rooms, really. When I quest, I play them all and it helps to have reduced energy, plus I usually hire a Joker there too. During events I play less expensive premium rooms a lot, so I’m always happy for any bonus I get on any premium room, no matter how expensive. I know some people like their trophies charged. I don’t, particularly, but I’ve never taken the time to figure out exactly what benefit that brings, so maybe I’m missing something important. And yes, I’m aware that I’ve likely contradicted myself, but... that leads me to the statement below.

That all said, I’m grateful for any charges I get!! I appreciate people who take the time to visit me. Period! Even if I get too busy to play enough to time travel some days, I make the time to visit. I don’t require that of my friends -again, I know it’s time consuming. But I consider it a double bonus. I get my reputation increased, gather extra CP and free CI’s, while benefiting my friends by increasing the XP they get on a room (I’m a Keeper). But that’s just my opinion on that subject and I don’t expect anyone, let alone everyone, to agree.
