Thanks 5S, you give me hope that I might improve over time. 90% without a clock is amazing. Me - 90 % with a clock. And since clocks cost 7 rubies each and Aussies pay $8.00 for 110 rubies with a CRYSTAL, each game of AC costs me around .60c minimum on tools. Times 4 or 5, to get the "reward". So whether I like or not, it's around 3 bucks. And again for HL.

Of course I make em by combining. But eventually, you need to fund yourself for tools.

My experience with HL is, if you solve an easy one, they then make it a real hard one which awards the item.

As for energy, yes it is scarce and therefore desirable, but also, it's free, provided one is patient. Par for the course for me: 60 -100 units energy on AC, to finally get the item.

But please, I still would *really really* like to know - Am I the only one having to successfully solve AC and HL multiple times just to complete a single quest?
