While it's true you shouldn't save all your tickets for 1 day because you'll be capped out and wasting free regeneration, in terms of total volume this event pays out big. You'll probably win 40+ specials over the event - even though they're not all of your one preferred type.A great event to get daily specials? Are you kidding! Events like this which force you to spend event currency each day and not bank it until you get a daily special you want are the worst possible events for obtaining daily specials! The forge bowl, which should be starting around this time of year was actually a great event for getting daily specials and other goodies. One could get tons of daily specials and progress in the event by spending all their event currency on a day or a couple days when there was a daily special they liked, especially because it was relatively cheap to boost the chances for these by buying the ultimate coach, which is far cheaper than most ways one can spend diamonds in an event!
It's good to have a few specials in mind that you want. i.e. the world I care most about this event primarily wants 33 lotus flower lakes (at 10 so far - a few are from last year). We've already had the path selection kit, but there's still the epic wildlife kit, and lotus flower lake not in a kit. But I also would like to win some raccoon hideouts. And I won't complain about winning some blood lilies and giant kapoks even though they're not a focus. That's a lot of "useful" special days plus I'll get to see many of them multiple times due to swap-out.
And with strategy you can still slant a lot towards a specific special you want:
- On days when you don't like the special you can, without waste, save up to 3 tickets for the next day. (spend just enough tickets so that you have 3 and the timer ticking when the day ends). You can then get 3 additional tickets from regeneration over a day when you like the special. So 6 tickets baseline on most good days (apart from the ones that followed another good day).
- Avoid completing quests that reward tickets when you don't want the ticket that day. On days when you want extra plays, it's time to burn through quests and win extra tickets.
- And of course you can choose to spend some diamonds on the day you want the special (if i haven't made it to my 33 lakes on the last of the "natural" days I can get it on).
