(P.S. it’s was just pale heart activities that don’t award any leaves until you get to the final stage which would be the slowest way to earn leaves possible. Or equally slow as nightfalls)

Yes you’re right, my post was a question and some helpful folks answered it and I’ve since amended my original post with an edit. I do still think that Solstice is extremely expensive on upgrade materials. It’s always been bad value imo, it’s just that I thought this solstice was worse than ever. Turns out it’s just about the same value as every solstice before it. And I love this game, it’s expert design and genre leading feel and I love every other seasonal event.✌️👍
