This is my strategy for playing, which others may not agree with, but it has worked for me. I pay close attention to my collection tab, there is no collection that is no worth collecting, until you have a large stash of money, energy, talisman, etc.

I currently have 1,470,933 coins, 100 owls, 133 all-seeing eyes, 35 lucky coins, 88 spinning tops, 101 ancient scrolls, 99 eagle eyes, 125 piggy banks, 4 magic folios, 4 seekers stars, 55 thunder amulets, 5 fire crystals, and a bunch of other talismans I have collected or purchased along the way. I also have 62 coffee, 132 waffles, 46 cake, 2 salads and 2 fish. I won't go into the tools and the anomalies I have saved, but you get the idea. I have been playing for a while and it has taken a lot of work to get all of this saved, but now I can give things away to my friends on the rare times I TT.

I did this all by paying close attention to every collection that shows up with 4 items, even if it is something from the beginning of the game and it seems like nothing, it still gives you coins when you turn it in. You may not think you need coins at the time, but trust me, you need coins later in the game, you need to craft like crazy later in the game, so every collection matters, every time you can make it. Build up those coins, build up that energy - in the beginning you will use it all, you will never have enough of it, same with the talisman you will win.

It is going to take time, and some good friends to help you build it up. It took me several months to find some really good friends, but once I found them, they have never let me down, and I hope I have done the same for them.

Make sure to have a good mix of every skill set. Accountants do matter!! They help you earn more coins in the rooms they charge and when you hire them. Hire them in a room they charge and get the most out of them you can. Again, it might no mean much in the beginning, but as you get higher up it does matter.

Anyway, this is how I play, I don't know if it will work for others, but it has worked for me. Maybe I have a lot more than I need, but I now have a lot saved to give away. Diane
