Here's a really lovely Treasure Box scenario:

I have 3 open quests. With all 3 I'm stuck at trying to get an item from Treasure Box, from a particular puzzle I just can not beat. And all 3 quest sets are ungiftable. I have 2 Flying Times and 7 Eyeglasses and 5 rubies. So I can't buy any more Eyeglasses (the only really decently priced tool there is) - well, I can buy 5, but I usually time out with about 25 tiles left to go. And using the Flying Times won't get me very far, aside from using up all my remaining tools before timing out again. I've tried this puzzle at least 20 times now.

For the time being I'm just doing random rooms, gathering ingredients for trading items so I can complete the numerous collections I have waiting, and then I'll burn a Magisterium to craft them. Maybe by then I'll have leveled up again and will get a new quest - those are one of my favorite parts of the game. And I've identified several collections that give tools, so I'll be focusing on the rooms where they drop. Basically I'm forcing myself to come up with some sort of strategy. :-)
