- Ticket Carryover: Tickets remain until January 29th, allowing time to choose accessories. A total of 31 tickets is needed for all Part 1 and Part 2 items (based on data-mined information).
- No Rare/Bonus Pick Notifications: Regularly check for Rare and Bonus Picks (every 30-60 minutes) as in-game notifications are not provided while offline.
- All Picks Count: Any Wonder Pick contributes to mission progress, regardless of stamina spent.
- Strategic Rare Pick Usage: Prioritize Bonus Picks for Promo-A cards; only use Rare Picks if nearing the event's end and missing the P-A variants.
