Ok. I'm late to the party on this one but I've been catching up on some posts this morning because I got an appointment canceled.

I have no idea what my talent is to know what to charge when visiting and don't know which banner colors are which level as I never paid attention to that. (I read the closed thread on that and just scratched me head. Like how can you tell what person charged what room as OP dictated?)

But, as for gifting, I think anything is nice. I have a few friends who send random stuff almost everyday. So I check their WL first and if I can, I send from that or I send something random back. Give and take. I have a few newer friends who are freaking amazing! TamTam, Brenda, DrakeSG CAB (who is my aunt lol) spring to mind but there are others. If they are super generous with multiples of something on my wishlist then if I can't match theirs or if they don't have one, I try to send back full collections which seem useful at low cost to assemble, like chests of items or talismans that may be useful if you only have a short time to play. Or I do a theme of let's say a few collections for banishing anomalies, or calling them. I want them to feel appreciated because I know how it sucks to not be acknowledged in ANY way. I have a few "friends" whom I've sent WL items to multiple times, as well as TTing them tons of access passes and literally for months now all I've gotten back from them is TY gifts. I've never received one single free gift much less a CI. The worst was someone needing thread who I sent 25 full collections that assemble to thread and got nothing but the mystery TY gift back. Wish I hadn't because shortly after an awesome friend needed thread. I only keep them around for hiring and to stay at 100 active friends. I separate by favoriting the good ones so they get everything first.

Lastly to the comment above about high level players with 0 or 1 friends or reputation... I visited family over the summer and saw my aunt playing this game on her tablet so I got excited and wanted to friend her. She is over level 200. She had no idea about friending, hiring, visiting, etc. So I became her first friend and I told her about it all plus TT and she does that now but there are people out there that don't see past the main board. Now she has an insanely high reputation. No idea how she did it so fast when I had almost a year head start on her lol.

Anyway, I'm 0178JQ if anyone wants to add me and is ok with my ignorance on what my role is and how best to visit, but likes TTers who send CIs whenever possible.
