I didn't really mind letting the talismans go. I started using them at 9:30 am and finally stopped just before 4:00 pm. I went from just leveling up to level 80 to now being midway thorugh level 82. So I definitely used them!!

Personally, I haven't found a need to go back in time. All my gifting, crafting, and trohpy collecting is done by going forward 1 day. I rock back and forth from the current day to the next day for gifting. I start on the real time, and when I reach the 10 CI limit, I go forward 1 day and keep going. I just go back and forth until I've finished all of my gifting.

Crafting is instantaneous now. I start the crafting on the current time, then go forward 1 day and collect the finished items. I have even tested out what would happen if I accidentally started crafting something while still 1 day ahead and then go back to real time. Nothing is there in real time, but if I go forward 2 days, the finished items are there!

To collect my trophies, I go forward 1 day (do not touch them), then go back to real time. My trophies are all sparkley and ready. I can do that endlessly. If I accidentally collect them when 1 day ahead, I just go 2 days ahead (no touching) and then back to real time. The trophies are all set again, and I can resume rocking from real time to 1 day forward to collect them.

There may be an advantage to going backwards in time that I have not yet discovered, but for now, I'm able to do everything I want by going from real time to 1 day ahead.

Oh, and my visiitng takes 30-40 minutes just to charge the locations. That is with the first 30-ish visiting rewards already collected. I always get a full 100 friends locations charged—including using sleepers—since I get drops with each charge for each friend. It's helping me get my reputation level up to a respectable level (it's low because I didn't know I could keep visiting passed the first group that gives you visiting rewards).

Gifting can easily take over an hour. I go through all the WLs, sending CIs and premiums. Then I send 5 of each fixer on each WL. And then I send passes to everyone.

I know I won't always be able to spend this amount of time playing, but for now, I'm having a blast! 😊😊😊💝💕💕💕
