Lola,

I have been collecting SOVs since I was a newbie :). During the previous update, I was doing puzzles exclusively - I was able to play continuously for 90 minutes while running a fire crystal in the background, and the combo of ancient scroll and keeper hires helped me level up.

As for the winding keys, hmph, I have enough to last me six months, just like you have enough reagents to carry you through for an insane amount of time. It would be impossible for me to craft 15 winding keys worth of SS, magic folio, and double ingot in one day, and I rarely craft the double ingot because I am not sure if the trade off is worth the reagents and 4000 coins, since it only lasts for two hours in real time. :)

I try to craft bits of SS and Magic Folio but I have switched to an eagle due to crafters...I think I whip them out if it is possible for me to level up; however, I did a little test the other day- I used ancient scroll/SS combo to kill a bunch of quests, and I was able to level up from the extra xp points awarded for doing quests. So yeah, the secret weapon might be speed and not some mythical  talisman.

Anyhow I have been getting winding keys and diagrams more frequently with Guardian of Time, so whatever CI s I find that award winding keys/diagrams are on reserve for gifting, and I have been giving bits and pieces of it when I see them on a WL.

I actually have two long term talismans that increase xp by 50% in addition to some sort of coin bonuses, so I am looking for the right moment to use those. I think I have an energy reducing talisman as well and a good number of jokers for hire :)..

That pyramid artifact isn't as good once you get spoiled by super talismans!

By the way, thank you  for charging Clock Tower. I have noticed that keeper hires/hints give me collections for Romantic Surprise.

I can't believe you didn't get your chest of goodies! I never received the animated avatars for turning that Fair room  to grey but I am not going to bother writing to MT.

Oh, lastly, the puzzle rooms sometimes give you a really crappy initial setup. I sometimes make it even crappier to get a new arrangement but I have had my share of crappy setups and continuously getting new  arrangements after just one move.

I hope you are getting enough gifts to keep your tool inventory from going completely dry, so you can save that one ruby for levelling up. :)
