Eddard,
Thanks for touching base and never fear, if I do go over the 800 Energy mark I will submit the ticket and you will hear from me! This time was quite close at 779 Energy and 400 lilies to heal 1154 points.
I did want to let you know as well as others that are following this, that as I have been tracking this since the beginning of the year and in major detail the the last few months, I am developing some direct data to show that it is the spending of lilies to speed up your tree healing schedule that is the cause for larger jumps in Heal point requirements. Since I had not sped up as much since the beginning of the year and not at all since this revelation, I have seen a decrease in the amount of HP requirements between tree healings. Now mind you it is a VERY SLOW downgrade, but as of yet it has not evened out yet, but the increase amount has gone down by almost half as of last week's tree healing.
I am still now stuck up here at an impossibly high number and my only saving grace is being part of a large awesomely helpful and wonderful clan.
I will keep tracking it and hope that if your programmer friend figures out anything that you will let me know. In the meantime I will make sure to get the word out not to speed up your trees.
Kindly,
Tylady
