I never buy keys for the event rooms. It may take me till the end of the event to finish, but I always do unless I hate the room and forget it, like Candy World and a few others. But just doing my quests and playing others rooms gives me my keys to play. I have a budget set that I allow myself for the game, but it is a small budget and when it is done that is that. With the right friends, and thankfully now I have them, thank you to all of you out there, too many to name, but Kathryn you are in this thread and you know you are on the top of that list, and Chase is now a new friend, you don't need to use money to get things for the game.

The collections can be made over and over. Take some time to really look at them. They really give you anything you need, well except rubies, and certain fixers, but you can find tools, reagents, energy all the things you need to keep playing. This is how I keep myself stocked with things I need since I don't TT. I use my Inventory carefully to make my WL. I take my time and scroll through it looking for what I need. If I need fixers, like you mentioned in a post that you needed pepperpots, click on them in the inventory screen over in the little box where it shows what you need to collect all the items, then click the green plus sign so they are on your WL so your friends know you want them. I change my WL several times a day, anytime I get something I need I take the time to remove it and find something else I need. I make as many collections as I can, only the ones that give me what I need. If you need certain keys, look for the collections that give you them. There are a lot that give the gold thread, tickets, etc. And you can also ask you friends for them. You can use the search box at the bottom to find what you need, just type what you want and it will bring it up. If I am low on my crafting reagents I just search for chests and find the collections that offer the green and gold chests. I play the rooms where the items are and if I can't get all the items I add the missing ones to my WL and my friends always come through for me. Yes there are items we can't ask for, but that is why it is important to visit, that is where you find those items.

I hope I'm being helpful, I just hate to see anyone wasting too much money. I know this game tries to grab money every day all the time. But you don't need to spend money unless you want to. I've learned so much from this wiki, and my friends, most of all that the most valuable thing to have in this game is good friends.
