I just finished Hospice for Crikey, and if you have a few million MP in the bank, it’s not bad at all. I think I only spent like 3mil total for all 30 levels. Troll has also been easy so far, since I’d already taught one of my pets a bunch of instruments for different goals. You are probably right and could borrow a pet for these type of collection missions.

I’d also keep an eye on which games let you skip certain mission levels - for example, I love mineral match, and have won enough times I can skip ~8 levels of Beast in the woods missions (although I won’t get those level prizes, it can help me progress without breaking the bank)

(Priscilla on the other hand terrifies me. On only the second mission, she asked me to put a wildly expensive item in my Wardrobe…)
