I've started down the road toward the Yura quests on my iPad game. I need 5 poster glues for the peddler so that he can repair the first pedestal in Skycrystal Atriums and have played Forgotten Glen 4 times and only received 1 glue.    I hope the drop rate improves pronto because I'm going to need another 10 glues to repair the second pedestal and 10 glues  for the last Yura quest.

In my PC game, I had a quest for Gavin that require 3 each of the travelers compass, hat an dbelt and got them in the minimum number of visits to the HO's.

I just played Forgtten Glen again and got no poster glue.  So that's 165 units of energy (or 14.75 hours worth) and all I have to show for my efforts is 1 measly poster glue.  Not a happy camper.

Poster glue isn't the easiest thing for me to get, but it's not as hard as what you're experiencing.  My nectar dew drop rate is abysmal, probably only average 1 per visit.  It probably takes me three tries to get a Whisper Lily.  I do get a lot of Kips, I get most of my glue from collections.  I get a good amount of opal slippers and leafy dresses, too.  I aways have a nectar dew/honey collection shortage. 
I"m slowly plugging away at life fairy runess and coruscating dusts.  And snow globes.  Whisper lilys are on the back shelf and have been there for at least a month.

Slowly plugging away at Coruscating Dusts, Life Fairy Runes, and Snow Globes.  At least I get shards while looking for Life runes.  Because I've needed so many of the same things for so long I've lost interest for awhile.  i just come in, slog through Ancient Pond, Fairy Dragon, and Apricus a couple of times and then leave.  Because of this I haven't read any of the new Diary.  I'm saving it for when I'm happy with the game again, so don't take offense that I haven't left any comments.  I love the Stewards Diary but I want to be in a good mood when I read it.

wendy - hope you're in a good mood soon.  Today I'm writing about that letter 'B' scratched on the desk in Mystic Copse.
