Sometimes you do play a room and the items you need just don't drop. For example, I took both the Old Fountain and the Docks all the way from Sleuth to Expert in one week.

It was A LOT of play time. I also played with a Seekers Star every time.

I was hoping to get items for the much sought after Celestial Traditions and Search for Clyde collections.

In almost FOUR HUNDRED plays per room I receved the following: two turtles, one fan, one kimono, two footprints, two blackbirds, one card.

Not even enough to trade in just ONE collection. It was so very frustrating.

So, sometimes it may not be that people are unwilling to play a room, it may be that the items are dropped rarely.

In those cases, I am very fortunate to be able to rely on the kindness of my friends.

Also, for me, I often feel badly about constantly requesting CI's for the same tools (eyeglasses and flying time come to mind). So I will request some of the "higher cost" items if I have the fixers to do so. As an added bonus, people do not generally request those items so my friends have plenty to share! So, while this strategy may not work for some, or seem logical to others, it does work for me.

See you in the game 😊
