One tip for players who run into the frustration of specific pieces not dropping....try changing (by scrolling through) the collection item that appears in the window "you can win these items". MOST players just play the room without ever scrolling through that window. The rooms have tons of fixers up front, then CIs, then access keys. Next time you play the Docks, Heather, put a collection item or an access key in the scroll window instead of simply playing with that window set at "ground zero" ie the very first fixer available to win. The CIs drop based on the room charge, your talent, the room mode and whether you hire someone. The easiest drops to watch over time are CBA mode because they appear so often. Try moving that scroll window before playing CBA mode for the Docks to show some collection item. Don't put the item you want in the first slot but rather something from a different set. Note what you get. For example, if the Dock has a joker charge, your an accountant and you scroll until X CI is in the window what do you win? Next time the room is in CBA mode again take note of the room charge and if it is a joker again, maybe try putting a different item in the scroll window and see what you get this time. It's not as if you will get the exact same piece given the same situation BUT the outcomes will be more limited than the entire list of possible items. Sometimes I find I have to put and item from the first set visible in the window to win an item in the third set. As I said it varies by room charge, room mode and my own talent (an accountant)...but it helps me to win more of the "difficult items". Having said this...sometimes it is near impossible for me to win certain pieces from certain sets. For my game the fishing set, the map set (one with pick axe), and one item in the Mansion set (set from Marketplace that gives 5 flying time) are more elusive but do show up if I focus on the rooms and changing that scroll window.
