Many of my friends don't try to complete the location events because they don't have the time or don't enjoy scrambling for location event passes. There are no penalties for not completing the events. You miss out on a desktop item and some other odds and ends but each location event wipes the slate clean. Some of my highest level friends haven't opened the latest location but are playing the game heavily. What do you enjoy about the game? When I open my iPad, I got to the location where I want to go. I rarely go where the game is sending me. I spent much of last year on a quest to reach Magister in Candy World. It was a good deal of fun and I enjoyed that quest far more than any location event. It is your time and your dime. My advice is to play the game the way you want to and can afford. There are no penalties for ignoring quests and events. Opal

Our wise Opal has given you the best advice possible. Play the game for your own enjoyment, not according to how you feel it must be played.

Yes, you will find some players complete the event in a matter of days. That’s how they enjoy playing their game and many of them do buy thousands of event access passes. All of the talismans state that they don’t affect event room passes. There is no way to get to any location levels faster. Only XP can be increased and location or room levels must be earned by playing the rooms/locations x number of times each. At the Detective level, you gain 1% for every play. At the Virtuoso level, you gain 0.5% for every play.

If you’red not getting gifts from your friends, you might want to consider getting new friends. I get both access passes and fixers from mine daily. The link Opal has given you will give you good advice about finding friends with similar playing styles.
