I haven't opened the game in so long I'm wondering what it will be like to play again. 

Wow. That doesn't sound good. 

I know Tannie has lost her game again and I've stopped opening mine until there appears to be some correction. How's everyone else doing?

I find level 28 works well for airships. I need to send 3 airships for 1 Trina quest. My airships can range from 72 to 127 wheels but mostly are 96-108 so I don't waste many airship items exceeding my 300. I have gotten to the point where the fairy sculpture changes to the elfish bas relief. I have 28 HOS open. Because it takes me a little over an hour to do 50 HOS, Trina asks for them a lot. For the shards, I play a lot of older spring rooms because their items are worth 3 shards. I also find that the HOS give me more inventory at this level than most people seem to get. I have about 1500 lunar eclipse and similar items that I'll shard when I need to. I finished DQs a long time ago. I have gone down in airships a little bit since I stopped DQs but haven't had any problems running short. I only shard items just to the 200 point when Trina asks for them which seems to keep her from requesting them more than 3 or 4 consecutive requests. Because you lost your game, you might be able to get people to gift you wreath of spring or spring cake which are worth about 30 shards I think. 

Someone else, Iron Eagle I think, leveled up to get the ice breath for shards but found the wheels very awkward at that level.

At this rate I'll stop with task 1. I have even less desire for a temporary frame than I have for more avatars.
