Hi, it can be done, but it can also be really tricky. I think that there are quite a few factors for success - a robust inventory of items, time spent in the game, energy sources and loads of luck. The amount of random drops has been really hard on lots of players. Is there anything you can do? Not really... sounds like you're doing the best you can with what you have. Admittedly, events do get (somewhat) easier when you have a vast array of alicorns available for extra energy and/or loads of time to spend playing. Weigh up drops of the end prize vs effort and then decide if you opt in or out. Other players will be able to give you their opinions about this question too. SW
