Fixers

Fixers are required to combine Collections and Artifacts in the Seeker's Notes: Mysteries of Darkwood game.

Once you have collected all 5 items belonging to a Collection (or all 5 Collections belonging to an Artifact), you can combine the Collection/Artifact in the Collections Window to receive your rewards.

In order to combine any Collection/Artifact you will need a set amount of (up to) 4 different types of Fixers. There are a number of ways to get Fixers in the game. Some Fixers are rewarded to players for winning Hidden Object Location games. Some Fixers are won by Trading with Townspeople or Banishing Monsters. Some Fixers may need to be Crafted. Fixers may also be found inside some Chests (such as the 'Apprentice's Box' Chest). Some Fixers can be gifted to your Friends as Free Gifts that do not come out of your inventory, while many others can only be Gifted as Inventory gifts that do come out of your Inventory.

The Fixers in the game can be split into two groups: Artifact Fixers that are required to combine Artifacts and Collection Fixers that are required to combing Collections.

Some Fixers may have duel purposes - they can be used both to combine Collections and also to Craft other items in the game.

See the List of Fixer Requirements for exactly which Fixers, in what quantities, are needed to combine each Collection currently in the game.

Finding Fixers
There are a number of different things you must do in the Seeker's Notes: Mysteries of Darkwood game in order to collect the Fixers needed to combine Collections. Some Fixers can be very easy to collect, while others can be more difficult. Typically easy Fixers are required to combine low level Collections with smaller rewards for combining, while harder Fixers are required for higher level Collections with bigger rewards for combining:


 * 3 of the Collection Fixers (Thread; Clip and Colored Ribbon) may be rewarded for winning some Hidden Object Locations. Once you successfully win a Hidden Object game, the rewards window that appears at the end of the game will show you what you have won. The items you win are randomly generated from the items available to win. Using luck Talismans or Artifacts or hiring Keeper Friends will increase the number of items you win for each Hidden Object game. As will playing a Location that has been charged by a Visiting Keeper. This will increase your odds of getting the Fixers you require. Each Fixer can only be won in certain Locations. In order to find a particular Fixer, use the 'can be found' list in the research window of a picture or puzzle to see if it is available to win. Some Fixers may only be won for once you have advanced that Locations' Rank to a certain advanced Rank.


 * 7 of the Collection Fixers (Tar; Resin; Hairpin; Petal; Scale; Fang; and Fluff) can be won by banishing Monsters


 * 3 of the Collection Fixers (Clothespin; Safety Pin; Cotton) can be won by Trading with Townspeople


 * All 4 Artifact Fixers (Chain; Silk ribbon; Lace Ribbon and Cobweb) can be won by interacting (either playing or Dispelling) with Anomalies in any Hidden Object Location


 * All 4 Artifact Fixers (Chain; Silk ribbon; Lace Ribbon and Cobweb) can be won by combining Collections.


 * One of the Artifact Fixers (Cobweb) can be Crafted by the Fortune Teller.

You can access the Fixer in the Miscellaneous tab of the Store or in the Miscellaneous tab of your Inventory (if you have any of that Fixer in your Inventory) and tapping on their icon in either Miscellaneous tab will bring up an information box for that Fixer, which will tell you how to obtain it.

Alternatively, you can also access this information by pressing the icon for any Fixer in the Collections and Artifacts tab within the Collections Window. Tap on any box of Fixers for any Collection/Artifact to bring up a bigger window explaining how many of each of those Fixers are needed to combine that Collection/Artifact. Tapping on any Fixer in this bigger window will also bring up the information box for that Fixer that explains how to obtain it. This may be the quickest way to access this information if you are already in the Collections tab trying to combine a Collection.

Fixer Locations
Below is a list of Fixers in the game and the Locations they can be found in. Note the Special Items required to play certain Locations (i.e. Gold Thread; Lanterns; and Theater Tickets) are included in the list because they can also be sent as Free Gifts just like a some Fixers, and also appear in the Miscellaneous tab of a player's Inventory.

Some items may only be found in the Locations listed above once you have advanced that Location to a certain Location Rank and some items may only be sent as Free Gifts once you have reached a certain Game Level (but Gifts that come from your Inventory can be sent at all Game Levels).

Buying Fixers
Some Fixers are available to buy in the shop for crystals. You may buy them from the shop section by pressing the shop icon on your Home Desktop, selecting the 'Different' tab and then pressing buy under the symbol of the Fixer you wish to buy. Some elements are sold in sets of 1 or 10, with discounts being offered for buying more at one time.

It is also possible to buy Fixers directly from the Collections Section of the game. You may buy all Fixers in the collections section, not just the ones listed in the Different tab of the Shop. To buy a Fixer from the Collections Section, open it by pressing the Collections icon on your Home Desktop.

In the collections tab, scroll to any collection that requires the Fixer you need to buy. Above the 'Combine' button (which is green if you have all collection items and Fixers required or brown if you are missing any) there is a box that contains 4 slots for Fixers. Pressing this box will bring up a larger version of it. In this box you can see the price of each Fixer required for that collection, and beneath the picture of the element will be 'Buy' button. Pressing the 'Buy' button will buy one of that element.

In the artifacts tab, scroll to any artefact that requires the Fixer you need to buy. Above the 'Combine' button (which is green if you have all collections and Fixers required or brown if you are missing any) there is a box that contains 4 slots for clock part Fixers. Pressing this box will bring up a larger version of it. In this box you can see the price of each clock part Fixer required for that aretefact, and beneath the picture of the element will be 'Buy' button. Pressing the 'Buy' button will buy one of that element.

Special Note: Be sure to check the price of the Fixer you require in both the shop and the collections tab under multiple collections that require it. Occasionally, the price of the same element will differ between the shop and the collections section or between different collections in the collections section. Check all the places were you can buy that element to make sure you are getting the best price before making your purchase.

Using Fixers
Fixers are stored in your inventory. To access them open your inventory by using the inventory icon on your home desktop. Go to the 'Different' tab (5th tab along the top). Note: you cannot use Fixers from your inventory, only view how many of each you have and the information about where to find them.

To use Fixers to combine collections you must open the collections tab. Find the collection you wish to combine. If you have all of the items needed for that collection, and the right amount of each Fixer needed to combine the collection, the 'combine' button on the left hand side of that collection will be green. Pressing the green combine button will use 1 of each of the items needed for that collection and the amount of Fixers listed to combine the collection. The Fixers (and 1 of each of the items needed for that collection) will automatically leave your inventory.

Free Gift Fixers
Fixers can be given to your friends as as gifts. Fixers count as 'free gifts'. This means that any Fixer you give to your friends, either by selecting the element from their wishlist or by selecting the element in the 'Send' tab, will not come out of your Inventory.

You are restricted to sending one free gift to each friend each day, up to a maximum of 50 friends. This means you are restricted to sending one Fixer to each friend each day, up to a maximum of 50 friends. You may not send Fixers to friends outside of the free gift system, even if you have hundreds of that element in your inventory.

In order to be able to send certain Fixers to your friends you must first reach a certain level in the game to unlock it. When you start the game on level 1, the only Fixer available to send to your friends is the Winding key. Every other Fixer is unlocked as you progress through the game levels.

You may unlock a Fixer earlier by paying to unlock it with crystals. To do this, open the Friends Section of the game by pressing the icon on your home desktop. Go to a friend in your friends list, press 'send a gift' to open their gifting box. Go to the 'send a gift' tab (default open tab) and scroll through until you find the Fixer you want to unlock. You will be shown what level is needed to unlock the combining gift in the top right hand corner of the picture of the element. Under the picture of the Fixer, in the place where the green 'send' button is normally is, will be a turquoise 'open for x crystals' button. Pressing this will deduct the crystals from your inventory and unlock that Fixer so that is available to send as a free gift from then on. The number of crystals needed to unlock each Fixer is the same as the level required to unlock it through normal game play.

Inventory Gift Fixers
The majority of Fixers come out of your Inventory when you send them. You can only send these Fixers from your Friends Wish Lists. If your Friend does not have these items on their Wish List, you will not be able to send them as a gift as they do not appear in either the Send tab or the Collection tab.

Fixers sent as Inventory Gifts count towards your daily limit of 10 Inventory gifts. You may only send 10 gifts from your Inventory in a single day. You can distribute these 10 gifts any way you want across your Friends (e.g. 1 gift each to 10 different Friends or 10 gifts to 1 single Friend or any variation in between).

Levels required to unlock Fixers as Free Gifts
Below is a list of the Fixers you are able to send as Free Gifts (not from your Inventory) to your Friends, and the level in the game you are required to reach in order to unlock them.

Note the Special Items required to play certain Locations (i.e. Gold Thread; Lanterns; and Theater Tickets) and some Crafting Items are included in the list because they can also be sent as Free Gifts just like a some Fixers.
