And this is so the time of year when everyone has the problem of what to get for others, isn't it?

Charon is pretty costly...the myth only required 1 coin but I guess musical notes aren't worth as much. 😉 I'm still working on getting all the CEs for it...I keep using them for lower cost collections instead. I doubt I'll be giving away Charon very often...probably only when someone needs it.

I saw that you missed the train...so sorry you couldn't complete those challenges. It's too bad you're on Kindle...it's the only device that can't do time travel. I'm on Windows myself and because of TTing and all the extra desktop awards collecting (especially the sphere and pyramid), I'm able to generate enough of the event special items to carry me through to Academician. Although I do also use as many anomaly busters as I can to get more special items without playing pics and I also play pics to get even more special items. But even though the sphere and pyramid only randomly generate the special item needed, each time they do, at level 1, I get 5 of special item. I discovered I can very quickly TT 30 individual days collecting the sphere and pyramid as I go and on average it nets me about 40-60 special items (rarely as little as 20, frequently as much as 75-80). And because I can do it so quickly, I usually TT 30 days every calendar day while I'm doing my daily gifting. That doesn't give me all the special items needed but it does give me half or more. And if I use the Santa Amulet and the Amulet of Rarities when I get to High Explorer, I can reduce the amount needed. And I can always do some extra 30-day TTing to get me the rest of the special items.

If you're friends with one of the "magic" gifters, maybe one of them can help you out with either the special items needed or the collections that award them. And the rest of us can always give you more anomaly buster collections as well as the collections that build the Amulet of Rarities. It's not a huge help but it's something. And maybe just that little extra nudge so you can at least get to Academician and get the avatars.
