I’m about the same. Started playing june 2021, flock power mid 600. Never spent a dime.

it’s a very big step to get a hat set of 10k per hat. I have completed Magical, but not a single exotic set. Will take months. I counted 37 exotic hat sets, which will be 37*7*10,000 =2.59 million blask pearls to complete all the exotic sets.

My strategy is to work on the hat sets, where I got at least 1 hat from a hat event TOF. In my case 14 out of the 37. The Daily offers frequently gives an exotic hat for 5K. When I have 5K black pearls, I take the offer when it’s in a set I already have at least 1 hat in – but I let it go if it’s a completely blank hat set.

Slowly the 14 sets gets more and more complete. Eventually the 14 sets will complete (I hope so), then I will work on maybe 10 new sets.

I notice that the offers never offer hats I already possess.
