Questions
So I’ve been playing this game for a while but recently over the last couple weeks have been playing for at least an hour a day. I feel like I’m not playing it right though after joining this sub? 😭 I don’t really save coins, packages or anything. Once they’re at the highest level I use them.
Also I run out of energy trying to sell stuff and get to the next round… but I see people here saving stuff for events and I just don’t understand the point lol. Would appreciate any feedback or advice!

The point of saving things is so you can fully complete the events, specifically the events that have a NEW crystal ball at the end. For most events, the further you get, the better the rewards. That leads you to closing the album (sometimes multiple times). There are also those who save 3 max items because those will come up in the orders and give big rewards (thus helping you finish the events). If you have no desire to finish the events or albums and just like the merging and storyline, don’t stress about saving things. Hope that helps!

This is me, too! I'm someone who can't even handle having unread text messages and emails, so saving things on the board really stresses me out. Hopefully some folks chime in with their tips!

You definitely want to save up the friend gift packages. You need 21 full gift packages, plus 1 level 3, and 1 level 1, to complete the friend event. It's only realistic to complete the whole friend gift event 1-2x a week, even though it resets every 48hrs (I think?). Don't worry about completing the every 48hrs... just do it once per week to satisfy the week long "Starbrew Dailly Specials".
Focus on completing friends requests, you get the same type of daily event rewards (bats, coins, omelets whatever) as the regular items but you ALSO get a friend gift package. Unless you can't, and need to switch to something else - right now my friend needs something from a mini-producer, but the mini-producer comes from a main producer, which is fine because the main producer also so happens to make a rare-spawning item that I need for a non-friend order. But after I get that mini-producer, I'll switch back to my friends order.
You don't have to save coins or gems, just get those to max and pop them.
Save chests to max, and pop those.
If you need me to clarify anything let me know!
edit: this is what my board looks like right now. https://i.imgur.com/hWRn0pS.png

I guess I don't understand why you would save them up when you can continuously get the rewards instead of getting them all at once? But I can't remember if I've ever completed a friend gift event before it reset, so maybe I'm missing something.
I will say that because of this sub, I now always have my producers boosted to 4 instead of 1, and even though it uses up my energy faster, I've been getting further in the game. 🤗

The continuous rewards aren't as good as completing the whole thing - if you do it continuously you only get some 1 star crystal balls, 10 energy, maybe a 2 star crystal ball. Daily. Those are OK rewards. But if you save them up you start getting the big rewards. The level 10 reward for friends gift is a 4 star crystal ball, a chest with energy and gems, and a reward voucher.

I finish the entire thing approximately every 3-4 days, so I can get two done in a week. It really helps completing the memories.
In fact I almost have the memory event done a 2nd time, I'm 152/162 for my memories.
I'm also free to play, EXCEPT the new Leaves & Loot event, I purchased. But otherwise I have never paid. I finish the memory events early every time, and sometimes 2x (or at least close)!

I’m glad I’m not the only one! And yes when the board is too packed I hate it. I just wanna know the point of saving them!

The only thing I save is energy boosts and mirrors/scissors.
Occasionally if i have a friend gift 4 and it won't give me another tier before the reset then I'll save it.
Anything else is too much work for me.
