Finally welcoming Timon! Got so lucky that I accumulated a ton of his items overnight and this morning, thank goodness! I only needed one more ear hat and had all of his leis. I had a few characters on quests to get those items and they ended at the same time. So, I decided to only click on one character that would possibly give me the ear hat (which it did), welcomed Timon, and then clicked on the other characters which gave me a head start on leveling him up later. Hope the luck is picking up for those that were struggling with me yesterday!
