In my old game I used up all my energy but I now have 4 Brave Goblin books, only one more to go.  Now I need 10 Owl Sage feather but at least they seem to drop easily, probably because there's not many collictables in there.  They're in Dawnhope Cavern, which I hate.  And it costs 114 energy to go in there.  It will be awhile before I finish this quest.  I think I have at least 3, maybe 4.  I hate how I don't have tons of mac and cheese like in ART.  Food and energy are so hard to come by in AK.  Maybe I could get some pizzas delivered from Beechwood Cove  It's been a long time since we've had a food or resource sale in either game, seems like.

Sometimes I think I'm going cross-eyed playing the Fungus Hut and I almost feel sick to my stomach, and then when I go to bed I play golf solitaire on my tablet, how goofy is that?  If you knew you were going to like one of these type games and knew you'd be playing long term it wouldn't be too bad to spend some real money on items that increase your energy right from the get go.  But it's fun to figure out how to 'beat' the game at it's own game, if you know what I mean.  And in ART is seems easier to be able to use keepsakes, in AK I don't ever seem to have enough of whatever to bother using them.  What good is extra experience or reduced energy costs for 30 minutes if you only have enough evergy to last you 15 minutes?  And there's no way I have enough resources to play a minigame for 30 minutes!  So ;my keepsakes just sit there because I feel I'll be wasting them if I use them.  But I'm really wasting them if I don't use them  I'm just such a tightwad, even with imaginary stuff

I finally got enough Moon Fountain Tea Mix for Blessilda.  Still need 5 dried snowbulbs.

AK is frustrating at times!  I like the minigame that uses Nectar Dew but i cringe when I have to get it.  They seem to drop so rarely.  Usually I'll get one.  Occasionally I'll get 4 or 5.  I must confess that I bought a bunch to finish those minigames. 

The auction in AK is a joke.  The only things that have bids on them are pink moonflowers and water lilies.  Okay, a slight exaggeration but only a slight one.

I hoard stuff in the game too.  I've been burned by selling things and then needing them for quests.

I hate the AK auction, too.  There's no achievements for making collections so I don't understand why everything is so high priced, unless it's needed in a quest, of course.  Why would I pay $4000 for something to fill a collection that gives me $1500?  And a gazillion collections for money, stars, and building resources, I don't need those, I need mini-game resources.  I never have enough to just play a mini for fun.  I like the honey dew game, the blueprints, glass, and of course the nonogram one.  I hate the pet shop and the others that play like that, although they're better now that I turned the sound on.
