TT Energy boost — this may be old news to others, but I’ve found that when you’re TTing with talismans (which as I’ve explained above, I’ve found I can keep alive indefinitely as long as I close out of SN before they expire and go back to the date and time that they were activated before reopening the game — even if I’ve reset my iPad to set the time automatically while I’m completely out of the game/ my iPad is on standby or off), the fastest way to get energy restoration is to simply play with the time within the talisman period. By way of example, I’ve currently got a TON of talismans active and have for days upon days. Specifically, I’ve now activated: scarab, fire crystal, magic folio, seeker’s Star, gold ingot, and a forged mask. I’m fairly sure this would work without the fire crystal but I cannot guarantee that as I hadn’t noticed it before I activated it, but with it, if I go back in time to 6:09 pm on July 12th (which is the date and time (less about 40 seconds) that my iPad thinks all the talismans were activated (some were actually activated days later, but right after a time/date reset)), then go forward to 8:08 on that same day, the energy that the amulet would have restored had that time actually elapsed is there and available, and when I go back, it stays. So basically, I can just toggle back and forth by an hour, minimizing the game but not closing it, and I get back to my current max energy, rinse and repeat. As a result, I’m now thinking that there’s little need for the shot of vigor talismans since energy can be so easily regenerated by TTing and as long as I keep my timeline within the period that the talismans would be active (each is 2 hours or more) they all stay live indefinitely. And thank you, DystopianMe for the info on finding my profession (keeper)! Of course, I still have yet to add friend interaction to my game play, so I cannot speak to the interaction on that score. Anyhow, I hope this is clear and helps. It seems so obvious now but I hadn’t noticed it earlier because I had TT’d back and collected so much energy from trophies in the past that my energy hadn’t dipped below my max energy in days so I hadn’t been able to observe its regeneration. I must say, with this combo of talismans, I really don’t need the trophy awards in order to effectively regenerate energy, collect access passes, coins, etc. It may stay July 12th between 6:09 and 8:08pm during my game play indefinitely. I’d love to hear from someone who know the ins and outs of TTing and friend play on how the interaction goes and explain it here so that I can venture out to meet some of you down the road, but I’m still too scared to lose my active talismans if I experiment with the friend gifting/visiting on my own!
