Hi BAhroom, you need to merge higher level items - preferably once that you also have a current wishing well quest for. My recommendation is to merge up the smaller stuff to a certain degree (l3/4) and put them in corners. Then wait for the next quest to come along and merge higher level items to get bonus request. depending on how filled / empty your camp is: Focus on getting better life trees and clear up everything else. Harvest them and merge a bunch of them up, keep the higher level ones. They are easy to merge and will combine without cleaning up (much). This likely will give you the most bang for the buck. I recommend getting enough coins to always fill the well - get a quest and if you dont like it, just wait out the time til you can get a new one. If you have frogan eggs you can change a quest, but I rarely use them. hth!

It took me a while too, which is why I wanted to share it :)
