When I ran out of quests, I started turning the rooms black which made it much easier since I could stay focused on only a few rooms at a time. By the time I turn a room black, I can usually find all the items very easily.

I eventually learned to not rush through the early stages of a new room. Instead of quickly finding the short list of items, I began going through the rooms very slowly, studying all the nooks and crannies. That helped me learn the room much better.

The hardest room for me is still Candy World. Since I didn't like it, I used tools to finish it in the early stages rather than taking my time to actually learn where things are hidden. As the number of items increased, it all became a impossible mess. Now I make myself actually find the items even if I need to use flying times. Doing that helps decrease the number of tools I need for the room in the long run.

Another thing that has helped me learn difficult rooms is to take a screenshot when I get stuck so I can pause the game and find the item in the photo. That helped me to learn where the items are hidden so I could find them faster the next time. That's exactly what I did and recommended elsewhere. Use FT (flying time) and get to know the locations. It takes longer at first, but in the long run, it saves time.

Also a nice experience, you overlook f.e. that the dark entities anomaly is at Candyworld and finally start to play even the more difficult locations with the more unloved anomalies, if possible without tools. It's like jumping into cold water, but surprise - it's not that hard!

For screenshots, however, I lack the patience. And even if I admire solver's table with all the hidden objects, I prefer to find the objects myself. Isn't that part of the game?
