Use piggy banks, magic coins and ingots when you play. You can craft ingots and the others you can get through collections. Every event big or small usually comes with nice amulet or artifact rewards and some can help you earn coins while you play. The ingot you craft will double your money when you play. A Forged Mask (24 hour artifact) will stock you up on winders and diagrams as will some of the shorter acting event artifacts. Midas Touch (24hr artifact) increases coins by 50% which is not as much as an Ingot but lasts much longer. Most people use several 24 hr artifacts at once. A good combination is to wait for the FM and use it with the Golden Chicken and Midas Touch (you can add Pyramid if you want and that will save you from using luck items for the 24 hour period also.)  As far as high level friends needing the low level fixers the Treasury update changed the entire game and therefore their routines. They had some making up to do since gifting changed so much with that update. I was not here but I do know when things change drastically they effect all areas of your game. For example if you have a coin shortage you can't craft, if you can't craft you can't banish, if you can't banish you get much fewer regents. Everything has a chain reaction and some people who have been playing for a long time only play for a short time per day and are still adjusting. I don't see any reason why someone would "need" to spend money on this game. You can earn just about anything. Some people simply enjoy older event CIs or maybe not having to run around the board to earn event passes so I think it's more about personal choice. Some people get in difficult spots with crafts, tools, coins but well planned game play and good friends will solve those problems. It's important of course to enjoy all aspects of the game. There are a few that just want to seek and find and don't visit or do much else and they really miss out on a lot imo but it's their game and they should play it how they want. The only time anyone might have an opionion about it is when they come to forum or any other group and don't understand why they don't have enough regents to craft or something else. Typically we try to help through the crisis period and give advice on how to avoid the problem they are experiencing in the future. No one is here to tell anyone else how to play but to try and help people who ask to enjoy their games as much as possible. I'm quite tired and likely typed a lot that I did not need to type, sorry. I'm terrible at posting succinct messages. I will keep sending you fixers. Please put the ones you need the most on your w/l. I can always some more to the mix but will always give priority to your wishlist.
