Thanks, Cathleen! I know it's more customary to send a variety of passes and fixers, but I find myself taking too long to decide which ones to send. Do I send 1 or 2 of each? Do I go through the WLs, TTing to send a handful of each fixer on their list (I do that sometimes which does take a long time). I tend to change it up. Today I decided to send out a lot of Scarlet Lanterns and then keep my giftbox cleaned out. I also made sure I did not have any CIs on my WL for the last 24 hours to help ensure no lost CIs (although some of you still insist on sending me my favorite collections which I admit I love! LOL! 😂❤️).

Wanda, I'm glad it didn't negatively affect your giftbox! I was honestly concerned about that when I sent out so many. I would have sent even more if I didn't have to consider the effects on my friends' giftboxes. I'd love to send 50 of every pass if I could!

I'm also partial to sending out Scarlet Lanterns because I have repeatedly put CIs on my WL that come from the Moon Court. Obviously, I'm using the CIs so I can't/won't return them, but I can at least help out with the passes needed for the room. 😊

Oh, and Wanda, just wait. I honestly thought I had lots and lots of passes, too. I had over 1,500 Scarlet Lanterns! And in just one night, I used them up! In only one night! That's when I realized that 1,500 passes is just a drop in the bucket. I hadn't even made it to virtuoso level! I didn't get that far until I asked for and received SLantern passes from my wonderful friends on here (thank you all!!).

That's when I realized just how many passes are actually needed to play a room. At 25 passes per round and 1% room level increase, it takes 2,500 passes to go from 0% Detective to 0% Virtuoso. I can't even begin to imagine how many passes it would take to reach Expert level!! So that 50 passes is only a tiny drop of what players need.

Plus, it really didn't take that long to send those 50, thanks to Cathleen's technique of going back a month or more to TT. I just set the date for Apr 1 and TTed up to Apr 25, and then did it again. It's taking me more time to keep my giftbox cleaned out from the TY gifts than it took to send the SLantern passes! 😊😊
