Got tired of trying for the pink moonflowers so gave up and bought 2 at auction.  I found 2 buyouts 1 for 2400 and 1 for 2500 which were the cheapest I could find.  I think I made a good deal and it saved me from countless tries at Dawnshadow ?.  How come I can never remember the proper name when trying to write about it.

I think I was doing a lot better before latest update on finding items.

lilyr...I just read the "You have got to be kidding me" thread in the forum.  I wouldn't have known that they decreased the amount of crystals and bolgins for the same amount of money because I haven't looked at those sales. 

My opinion is I think Boomzap is doing all they can to slow the gameplay way down by making the quests harder and the drop rates slower so maybe they can work on other projects.

I am just glad I got my pegacorn for 69 cents when I did.  No way would I spend 145 crystals for it.  I haven't even healed him all the way yet.  Those unicorn feathers and teabags are so hard to get.

I played Dawnshadow Lake this morning and the first item that dropped was a pink moonflower.  HaHa  Now that I don't need them. 

 

Making items drop more frequently when you don't have a quest is great for the people who started the game when it first came out, but anybody who started with the update that included the Yura quests is getting screwed. 

That update didn't tack the new quests at the end of the previous quests, they were interspersed with the old quests, which is why I still have the quest for Raphael and those stupid portraits open 2 updates later.

I played Rosetum Gardens another 4 times.  Again, no mirrors.  That's 13 tries with nothing to show for it.  Once I get all the whatever it is that I need to play the mini game, I'm moving on to another location.

I feel like the only way I can finish any quest that involves handing over inventory is to buy it at auction.  At the prices people are asking, I'm looking at 50,000 or more coins to finish a quest.  

As much as I love my squabbit, maybe it's time to try a different game.

Tirama -- I used a keepsake while I was playing to get the coruscating dust.  In the 1/2 hour it lasted I got SEVEN dusts!  Another player said she thinks this works.  At least it did for her and me.  Give it a try!

I played it about 15 - 18 times.  My energy tank is only 800.  I used the whole tank and a couple more scenes to finish the 30 minutes.  It was Ancient Pond so it only cost 54 energy each time.  The last time we had a food sale I bought a HUGE amount of sandwiches.  They're almost gone.
