On the General Discussion and Questions board you wrote: I'm currently level 40, just started connecting to friends (much to learn!), and realize I haven't the items most higher level peeps would want. I'm able to give firelies, arrows & ladybugs but still not some of the other most wanted so any ideas most welcome. I've noticed I can't give some of the wishlist items...

I saw your thread earlier and wanted to post a reply but I didn't have time then and do now but the thread has gotten a bit lengthy and so is my response soooo...

Hope this helps. Some of my suggestions are ones others have made already so please forgive any repetition. First, before anything else, check to see if your higher level game friends are Wiki members. There are three lists you can check, one of which you were already given but I'll repeat it here:


 * List of Wiki Secret Society Players
 * List of Wiki Secret Society Players/Gifting and Visiting Preferences
 * Local list users

If they are, ask them on their walls what you can give them, other than their wish list (WL) items. If there isn't a link on their Wiki name, you can get to their wall by using the same URL as accessing your own wall, except you exchange your name on the end with their Wiki name.

If they aren't on this Wiki or if they don't respond to a message you leave them on their wall, my best suggestions are:


 * Give them what you can that is on their WL. You'll still be helping them. Give from the right of the list first, instead of from the left...WLs tend to be sorted, more or less, lower level left to higher level right. If/when their WL is blank, give them any special paid room items you can instead.
 * Pay it forward. What you can't do for them, you may be able to do for someone at a lower level on your friends list. Most Wiki members roll like that and your higher level game friends probably do as well.
 * What is their game name? Do they change it periodically to reflect a request for something like arrows or fireflies or other special paid room items they can't put on their WL? If so and if you can, give them that.
 * Check the Combining Elements (CEs) page. You can already tell in game what level you have to reach to unlock each CE that is still locked. This table also shows you what level each of your unlocked items requires. When you're gifting CEs for anyone, including higher level friends, you can go by this or just go by the Gift screen Send a gift tab order (starting from the end) and give higher level CEs or special paid room items instead of lower level ones. And if you time travel (TT), you can use that to give more than 1 CE to each friend in a calendar day. For more information about TTing, check out The Tardis board in the forums. Also check out Aaron Verdugo's SSHM helper videos on time travel techniques on YouTube.
 * If you have time and feel so inclined, you can check their desktop (visit them) to see what pics they are lowest level on (frame color/level), especially if one of those is the current challenge pic. Those lower level pics might not only make good ones to charge but also your friend can probably use any whole collections (all 5 items or CIs) that you have spare and can send them, assuming you have also unlocked the pic in question. Since you can give 10 CIs daily, you could use those to give 2 whole collections instead of 10 individual items. Check the frame color by level table on the Picture/Puzzle Levels page as a cross-reference. To check what collections you might be able to give them that are sourced in the pic(s) in question, exit visiting and on your desktop tap on the pic and then, under Can Be Found at the bottom, tap on each of the CIs that show available. That will tell you how many of the CI you have in inventory as well as the name of the collection. You can then use the search field in the Collections screen to see quickly if you have the whole collection and if it is giftable. Or simply go straight to your friend in the Friends screen, click Send a gift on the higher level friend, then on the Gifts screen in the Send a collection item tab, scroll to the collection you want to give. You can see what you have whole collections of here as well as click on each item to see the same info as in the Collections screen and under the pic's item detail in Can Be Found. Scroll all the way to the end in the Send a collection item tab to get to the, more or less, highest level items in your inventory. Or you can check any of the collections pages here (List of Collections, List of Collection Items, List of Collection Items/with Pictures, List of Collection Item Locations) to look up items and info about them.
 * If you have some spare whole collections and like the idea of gifting them, you can also gift collections that help build Artefacts. In the Collections screen Artefacts tab, the collections required are identified by the resulting item from completing each collection. For example, one of the collections required for Magister's Amulet is Golden King. If you search for that in the Collections tab, you'll find the Royal Assembly collection. If you have all five of that collection's CIs to spare, giving that collection will give your friend one of five collection towards getting the artefact.
 * If you're so inclined and at a loss of what else to give your high level friend, quest only items can be a great gift, assuming you have any to spare. Usually it is best to scroll to the end of your inventory in the Gifts screen Send a collection item tab and going backwards and, for any items you have just qty 2 of, check the item's details (tap on the item to open). Quest only items will list only the name of the quest where they can be found without noting a picture or puzzle location. They may also note a picture mode required for finding them. For example, Polar Hare from Polar Fauna can only be found in the Long-eared runaway quest and also requires morphs mode to find it. Quest only items tend to be harder to come by than other items and a picture mode requirement can make it even more difficult.
 * Sometimes you can say thank you by giving a higher level friend a CI or a collection that is thematic, assuming you know anything about the friend. For example, I have given high level female friends some bling, like the Beautiful Bracelets collection, and I have one female friend who is into horses to whom I have given whatever giftable horse and pony CIs I had to spare.
 * Bear in mind that whenever you're giving individual CIs or whole collections, your friend will still need their required CEs as well before they can get the collection's rewards.
 * One last note about charging items when visiting: some players really prefer only to have their desktop awards charged and not their pics or puzzles. Hard to know though unless they're here on this Wiki. Unless you're sure one way or the other, you may want to only charge desktop awards and, if it were me, I would charge their sphere and pyramid first, if they have them (click the links to see why I say that).

I'm assuming you already know this but, just in case, the main page here is a great place to start when you're looking for help on the game. There you will find news and a table of contents links. Again, hope this helps.
