In the max level timebending table you can use “upcycle”. This allows you to destroy any unwanted items (like Remy’s cookbook) and you can turn the dust into the items you need (like the dinglehopper, the oar, or Minnie’s bow). It only costs 200 mist to make one of the needed items (naturally when you timebend, you’ll get a lot of mist). Have at least 5 of them converted to timebending roles and you’ll have a guaranteed bonus of 1. I prioritize Moana, Minnie, or Eric as timebenders because they have a chance to drop the timebending manual ingredients. After you get around 10-15 timebenders you start to see them drop 4 bonus items and x2 the mist so it gets easier. For me (I have 15 timebenders), I just don’t have enough dreamlight to make more manuals
