Hi Emma, I play on my Android tablet, so when I want to type a fairly longer reply/post, I take a little while longer to respond... until I get off my lazy butt and go upstairs to my desktop. :)

I don't know of a way to see friends' collections or items they may need other than those on their WL. I can tell you only from my own experience/actions that sometimes I put collection items I would like on my W/L and sometimes I just put the "chargers" as those are hard to get too. (People here call them Collection Elements (CE) and Collection Items (CI) but I can never remember which is which.)

At this point in my game, there really aren't a ton of collections I need, so that could be true of your other friends too. When a game goal gives me a collection to gather, then I try to get it and put the items I don't have on my WL. Otherwise, sometimes I scroll through and think about how to get dynamite or seeker's eyes, the tools one can't buy with coin. I have over a million coins now.

It's pretty fun to me to send the stuff I have to those who are lower levels, so I can help them. I didn't realize all the collections that would help me when I was lower, and it's fun to try to help others earlier on than I "got" the value of friends. There's a page on here that lists the collections and what you can get from them. Good idea to try to get some talismans that you can then set off to double/triple your energy or experience or money. I use those a lot and set them off when I know I can play non-stop for a specific period of time.

My advice is to eventually eliminate all the game-recommended friends who don't add any value to you (those who don't gift or charge) and just have friends from here who actually try to be good friends, gift fairly regularly, charge your boards at times, etc. People here are generally great about that, and super generous. I hit the 100 friends award and then eliminated all the ones who never did any gifting (including those who only ever did TY gifts), and am slowly adding back people from here. I think I have about 40 friends. I am going to try to keep it at 50 max so I can gift everyone each day vs. have to pick and choose.

I started the game around Christmas of 2015, so not as long as most here, but long enough I guess. I was totally obsessed at first, still play a lot but not as much as I did those first couple of months.

Energy was the hardest thing... if you want some additional advice on energy and such, feel free to email me at erinkelle@hotmail.com. Glad to send more info your way.
