I learned (perhaps I should say remembered) something valuable this time around -

First time I has two Magisteria (is that the correct pluralization?) and used them both in succession. I made the mistake of crafting items to trade with the Chimney sweep, Flower girl, etc. first, instead of waiting until i was making the actual birds and fans with the Inventor, and the other two merchants had nothing else to do.

This time I only had one Magisterium and first made the ingredients for the birds and fans, but I made another mistake. I incorrectly assumed, since once I started the prices were 0, that it cost $4000 each to make the birds and fans (it actually costs $1350) so I left time at the end to make some of those for free. If I had remembered the correct price (since I have well over $600k in the bank now) I wouldn't have done that, and made as many of the 3 stones as I could for nothing, and then I gladly would have paid $1350 each for the final items after the Magisterium expired (as I ended up doing for most of them anyway). I would have ended up with more that way - not sure how many more, but we all agree that you can never have enough Cotton or Dragonflies. Now I'm hoping to get another Magisterium soon from some upcoming event, so I can continue refining my process. :-)  I still haven't run out of those I made, but I AM being stingy and selective with how I use them, so they last a bit longer this time.
