I've tried several of those suggestions, Andalay, with mixed results. In general, if I play the game at all without the Seeker's Star I get only fixers about 90% of the time. I've been hopping around to different rooms also as you suggested. I'm doing this to get the crowns and sometimes letting the Quest direct me to where to find the crowns when the treasury room realizes I have an insufficient fund of them. No problem winning the crowns. BUT in all the rooms I play I rarely get a single collection piece in the update unless that Seeker Star is running. Then I get one collection item almost everytime I play a room. I actually love the treasury - it is so pleasing to me compared to the theatre and its purple hazy coloring. And, yes, I am looking for specific (hard to get items, too) but at least if I got a CI I'd be okay with that. My other "issue" is that even with the Seekers Star I have had the game give me the exact same piece up to six times visiting the room (not in a row but skipping around and coming back to it). That just does not seem "random" to me.

Whenever I use a dispeller I also have received only fixers and occasionally a tool or access key. The only exception to this is the Treasury. Twice I used a dispeller there and won a CI...once it was even the Quest item! I see an inconsistency in what you are finding and what myself and others are experiencing. Since you and I are both on iPads it cannot be "version". I'm trying your suggestions but still not having the same luck. I'm not giving up, though...just refocusing my efforts all on the Seeker's Star to win items as well as try to finish the Quest. I like a challenge. I wish someone here could give a tip on what position they put the scrollbar at to try to win an item. I get the same result whether I move it to show another item or fixer or whether I don't. I do think there is *something* that might work just not sure what. Andalay, do you reposition that scroll window of potential items before you play the room? I appreciate all your tips and know they must work for others so please do keep sharing!! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and tips here so we can try various bits.
