This is the crux f3lixx: shopping. If your aim is to progress quickly, all time spent shopping is the best investment you can make. On the last set - the progress from 91 laff to 100 laff - shopping for a day (doing a building here and there to help friends) can save you weeks and weeks (make that months and months if you think 80 lvl 12 cogs sounds less daunting than 1,000 cogs - by the time you have seen 80 level 12 cogs you will have killed at least 80x20x2*=3200 cogs, usually more). When you hit 91 laff, make sure you have 4 empty task slots. The best I have had after that was 400, 500, 600 and I think 800 generic cogs. It's a fun time because you have nice gags and all you need to do is help other people through whatever building, wherever they need it. You'll find that you don't care about building hoppers, empty streets in DL and all that. It makes for a far more relaxed toon life.

* x20 because that will be the average number of cogs you find in a 5st bld, x2 because only roughly every other 5st has a lvl12 in it.
