I got 4 this morning too!! I was very dubious about the one energy spawn thing but I must say that I think it's working!! Instead of collecting from all of my daily Ali's at one time, I collect from two or so after I spawn a lynx and battle it and then move on to the next spot that spawns. It's been working pretty well now for the last 48 hours. The spawn rates for me have gotten better and better. Just upgraded to level 7. I will occasionally drop a gem or two at night to speed up the mines and OT before bed. And the mines do seem to have a higher spawn rate for me that OT now. Ivy has been pretty much guaranteed for me. Only one or two collections with no Lynx. I am starting to think I may even be able to craft my pair of pets too!!
