This can be confusing, so I am going to use some screen shots to explain. (Some of these are from my old Twin Moons game so I have enough to explain)
When you go to collections, you have two push buttons for each CI (collection item)and you still have a push button for CE’s (combining elements). For the two push buttons for the CI’s the one on the left that has two people is for requests and the one on the right that has a plus sign is for wish list.
So.... When you click on the plus it goes on your wish list. When you click on the people for requests it goes to a screen where it shows the chosen item on the left and on the right is your friends list. If you click on a friend, it will highlight them. You can click on as many as you would like or you can click select all. Keep in mind that you can only make ONE request per friend for 24 hours between. Once you highlight a friend to request that item from them you then click on the send request button at the bottom.
Now...... When you receive gifts, they will show up in your gift box. Notice there are two tabs at the top. The one on the left is your gifts and the one on the right is any requests that friends have sent you for items they want. When you click on the requests tab, you will then see what your friends are requesting of you. Each one has a button at the bottom. One possible is that it will be grayed out and say “no item”, this means that you do not have any of that item. The other will be blue and have one of (how ever many you have of that item) such as 1/6. In other words, send one of my six that I have to this friend. You will then have five of that item left.
So there is a lot.
Remember.... Using this can be advantageous. This way you can put all CE’s on your wish list and use requests for CI’s. This way you maximize your gift choices!
So..... I hope this has help explain the difference between requests and wish list.
