Anyone reach level 2 crafting yet?

Three more steps for me. Today is probably my worst day collecting stuff to level up.

I hit level 2 early this morning. Every chance I get, I head over to Moe's casino, but now, I also finally got Cletuse's Dice den, so also play that.

I upgraded to the second level and am having a hard time accumulating the crafting materials now. The key chains and coasters seem to have dried up. Wonder if this was on purpose, a glitch or just bad luck?

I'm only 5/5 and have crafted everything days ago and also finished all the act prizes yesterday. I've only gotten one daily challenge that rewarded coasters so far and none for keychains. I play many times a day, do all neighbor visits, and am on round 3 of bonuts, and have the silver players club statue.

This level up crafting is frustrating and actually making me mad at this lint as there is no reliable way to obtain the crafting materials in the first place.

I would think that someone like me that has the act completed should have no problem leveling the crafting, this is poor design, and making an otherwise fun event bad.

Dried up today for me as well. Wonder if it has to do with the patch update earlier.

I have the same issue, I was able to get to level 8 by Tuesday night and since then the drop rate went drastically down. I might tap 40-45 people to get even one token and forget the keychains or coasters, lucky if I get one on full 4 hour tap. The same seems to be happening at Moe's. And at Dice den its even worse if that's even possible, I remember getting maybe 2 since I got it yesterday. I get bonus donuts since Tuesday every 16-18 hours so obviously I tap enough but the materials completely dried out all of a sudden. Hope it will speed up on start Act 2. I think im gonna start saving tokens as they are harder to come by and with such a lousy payout I can as well sit on them hoping for better later.

I finally made it to level 2 crafting.....I think I'm gonna save up my tokens for Act 2.

I'm still 2 steps below level two. I've found that canceling out daily tasks until they pay out casino prizes helps a lot. Anything except 3 or more donuts gets canceled until I get horseshoes, coasters, coins or martinis.

Aaargh, I'm only 3 keychains away from level 2, and it is so frustrating to wait them to drop! I have 146.800 chips, and it still didn't pushed me to level 2.

and me. It's now gone mid day and I've only got one keychain the whole morning. That's it apart from the red chips. This event sucks.
