@ Meterman, actually the number fluctuates with the updates. It was down to 8, but Now I think it’s back up to 10. @-MEakaHJ, I also work from a list. The item by name, the picture/mode it needs, and whether or not I have it. Unlike Meterman, I don’t work on them specifically by oldest first. I try to get as many pictures as I can into the mode I need to get the item. If it doesn’t require a specific mode I note “any” on my list. When the picture for each task goes into the right mode I mark it “ready”. If I have the item I don’t bother with that picture, because I can send it to myself. About once a week, like on a weekend morning when I have some free time, I activate a diamond horseshoe or some other “get it” talisman, start hiring my sleuth friends, and work my way up my list. I keep all my pictures in text usually, unless I need them for a task, so when I get all my items I play the pictures back into text and start getting ready for the next block of time. Sometimes you can get them just by banishing anomalies. It took me about a year to pare my list down from 30ish to 10ish using these techniques.
