Hello,

I have been playing this game fairly regularly for a couple of months and while I am pretty comfortable with most parts of it there are still a couple of things that have me confused. Most recently I discovered that the "artifacts" actually have an entirely different tab. So I have been trying my hardest to get pieces belonging to those items, but I am really struggling with the cobwebs. I honestly think that I currently have 4 artifacts all awaiting completion based solely on cobwebs, but I have had the same 2 for over a month now and dont seem to gain more. I spotted this thread when I attempted a Google search to see if I am doing something wrong, or if I'm missing a step, so apologies for jumping in.

I have severe insomnia so i likely play an hour to 3 in the middle of the night when I cant sleep. I am a sucker for the specials that I can get from the bank, cool chests and things for real money, so I am terrible for buying those up. I restrict myself to the specials that pop up on screen and stock up on the little $3-$6 dollar specials which I enjoy. I have also found that if I ever intend to finish the big events, I typically have to buy access keys because I just don't get enough from regular play. I am still incredibly frustrated that I worked my butt off for the last springtime event, I was at the end of the quest chain where I needed 3 teddy bears from banishing the top level bad guy, which cost ALOT of paper planes to run the zone enough, and then the day I finally get it, the quest has disappeared? Even though the event still had over a week running, I am confused because all of the rest of the related quest stuff is still there, so what happened to the one I was working on?

Those are the times where I end up turning the game off for a few days if not more, because there was absolutely no indicator that there was a timeframe attached to that quest that was significantly shorter than the entire event. This was the first time that I made sure to log in regularly and worked my butt off to finish all of the special event stuff.

Anyways, back to my cobwebs question. I do actively monitor my wishlist and try to keep certain items on there at all times etc, but truthfully I dont really fully understand how the whole friend thing works in this game...what I'm supposed to do for others, what I should expect etc.

Being fully honest, I dont have any actual friends that play. So anyone on my friends list are people that I have randomly selected and they have agreed, or vice versa. I do know I see other peoples avatars on my map all the time and I get notifications when someone leaves if I'm not in game, but I really don't understand how it works beyond that.

I have tried to go to other people's places, but dont know what I'm supposed to do when I get there. It seems that visiting someone else vs helping them are two different things? When I do go to a friends map, I have a list of how many friends I can visit that day, as well as some sort of counter that tells me how many times I can "help" each person. The problem is, I don't know what I'm actually doing when I help. All I do is click on any random area or room etc, it puts a checkmark and that lessens my count by 1. I dont actually get to do anything for people, like say complete a room etc, all I do is put checkmarks on things.

Am I missing a major component here or something? Cause it seems my help doesnt do jack shhh. Yet these people seem to be on my maps for hours at a time. I dont get it and I would like to do more if there is more to be done other than spensing 15 seconds, clicking on 5 random map icons and leaving. If anyone wants to try and explain this to me, please let me know and you can mesg me on Fb or email or some other platform.

So all this big long winded mesg started out with my frustration about cobwebs but I think the whole friend thing etc is one big part of it. Id love input from those experienced enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm about to ding lol 50 so I feel like its time to get a clue lol :)

You can reach me on Fb as Calealen, as I very well might not ever even find this forum again :/
