A common complaint is that Starcatcher takes you away from the main event. But that’s only true if you rely on HL and TB for nets. If you play the main event room and ignore HL/TB you can get enough nets to finish the mini-game. Further, you progress nicely on the main events AND you acquire paws from the event room. In fact, you will get more paws from the event room play than from the mini-game sack prize.

Howard Yes, the event room gives you 15 nets instead of the 10 in HL and TB, however, I don’t think playing that way exclusively will give you enough tries in the star catcher event to get you the paws. It’s only a 7 day event. I averaged 4 stars per play, which would require 250 plays of the room. However, some of the rooms are difficult and I sometimes only netted 1 star. Let’s say I played 275 times instead of 250 - to give a conservative guess. That would mean I’d need to play the event room 184 times. I was at the detective level when it popped up, so 25 passes each play, and if I’m playing only the event room for nets, that would put me up into Virtuoso and 30 nets per play for a considerable number of plays. It might even take me past there into Master and 35 nets per play. That’s an awful lot of passes to collect at 3 to 8 passes per room. I’m not sure it’s doable, from where I started anyway. If it is, it’s going to involve a lot of non-stop play! Up to 3 minutes each time you play the event location, and the same each time you play for stars. I’ll let you complete the math...
