Wellcome Sunshinenici, some answers to your questions from my perspective

Crafting: opening the second crafting spot is definitely a good investment. I am crafting and trading constantly. I like to have a certain amount of all fixers in my inventory which enables me to cash in a collection at any time.

Collections: if the completion of a collection is a quest - I go ahead and cash it in. Other collections (duplicates) I only assemble if I need the reward. If I do not need the reward at this time I let it sit in my inventory so that I can gift those items to friends in need.

Monster banishing: Darkwoods permanent monsters will give you some energy, reagents and dispellers for anomalies. Because of the extra energy I do not banish just before I am reaching a new level (restores max energy). The special event monsters I banish when I have to assemble the collection.

Rooms: I suppose it depends on your own goal for the game. Once you have reached the rank of Detective all collection items in that room will be winable to you. The more rooms you open up - the wider the selection of collections.

Quests: there are the story quest and special event quests. Plus mini quests. The story quests do not expire. The special event and mini quests on the other side expire after a set time. The special event quests are on the top left and mini quest are on the right side of your map. At the moment we have the Enchanted Spring / wishing fountain and the puzzle challenge which includes the crafting stations. This means if you would like to get additional special rewards you would have to play the special events. Both will actually go hand in hand since you need to play 'ordinary' rooms to collect enough access passes which are neede in the special event room.

I hope all this makes sense to you :-) Bottom Line: Enjoy the game!!! Have fun with it.
