This was my idea. I have looked through this wiki several times trying to find that final item to make my assembly and collect my rewards. However there are several collections that the wiki states can only be gotten by completing a quest and there is no other way to get it.
However I have personally bought several of the chests that cost 5 rubies and much to my delight I have gotten the very item I needed. I have also gotten multiples of a single item I did not need. I also have noticed that it seems if one CI comes from a particular 5 ruby chest then then ALL of the items needed for that particular assembly can come from that particular chest as well. Be warned though if no one can gift an item to you and you are desperate you may have to buy multiples of that particular chest to get what you need. I was going to suggest making a discussion thread and everyone try to buy at least one different chest every week or month depending on your available ruby situation and post here the name of the chest bought, what you received from it and what collection it belonged to. You would only have to contribute to the post if you received something different then someone else and it would provide all of us with a list of the correct chest to buy in hopes of receiving the CI you need for your assembly. Like this: CHEST: CHEST OF THE SHROUDED SHIP: COLLECTION: Ben's collection, ITEM: Lilac Starfish FIXER: Pirate Bandana
CHEST OF THE PAST: COLLECTION: News paper Clippings ITEM: Missing Person FIXER: Drum
It's just a thought because there been several times I need an Item for an assembly but had no idea what chest to buy and no help from the Wiki Collection lists.
Let me know what you th ink and if you think this would be helpful. Christie
