I've only been spending the fake money, which probably explains my slow progress and why I haven't been able to win one of the event avatars.

Hang on to the friends who are duds because they help you meet the next level without sacrificing your gifting to your more reliable friends. I have several wiki friends who I know have more than 50 active friends, so they only gift me every other day or every couple of days.

Most experienced players will only gift you what is on your WL. I always try to have one low-level element on my wishlist in case I get a low-level player. Only rarely have I put CEs (combining elements) on my WL. Usually, it is during events like the upcoming Halloween and Christmas events and the higher level players want to help me. It is easier for them to send CEs when they are on your WL. Some of my more experienced friends are like fairy godmothers. One sends me a complete collection every couple of weeks. Two of wiki friends send me every gift on my WL. They time travels (TT) all the time. I can only TT occasionally.

I'm on the East Coast, so -5:00 from GMT. My playing time is limited because I still work full-time. One piece of my job is the pits, so unless I "lose" that piece of the job before next April (very unlikely), I plan to give my two-week notice in mid-April. Normally, I wouldn't do that until the end of the semester, but I have signed up for a Caribbean cruise at the beginning of May.

Nice talking with you.
