@SparkingPaces I’m quite sure it’s for the event only. Powdered dragon claw is appearing on the map and the spawn rate of leaping toadstools has increased too, since the event requires the use of BBE. Hopefully you’ll find plenty of both before the event ends. 😊
@Imaginatio thanks - I figured it probably wasn't permanent, but wanted to see what other people thought, or if information about it was given out in other places.
I already had an over abundance of powdered dragon claw, but I'm still making room for more since it's such a valuable commodity. I've had my gold cauldron running day and night brewing BBE's.
A tip for newer players or those that don't use the gold cauldron much:
Pay 15 coins for 3 hours and then brew a regular exstimulo followed by a Baruffio's. You get 125 coins worth of potion for only 15 coins.
@SparkingPaces It probably was given out somewhere, but I got it from fellow players and I’m not sure where they got it from. (I think they mentioned it, but I can’t remember)
I get what you mean with the powdered dragon claw, I’ve got way too much as well 👀, but I just can’t get myself to delete any. 😂
Also, to add to your tip regarding the Rental cauldron - If you’re willing to spend 16 gold, use a timer, be patient and quick, you can get away with the following combinations:
2 x regular extimulo + any other potion
2 x healing + any other potion
1 x regular extimulo + 1 x healing + any other potion
1 x strong extimulo + any other potion
Also, 1 x trace tonic + any other potion, but this one is the riskiest and it can only be done while master notes continue to reduce the time on it by 50%.
For all of these combinations you would need to rent the gold cauldron for 3 hours and therefore 15 gold coins.
For combination 1 to 4, the total brewing time in the Rental cauldron is 3 hours 36 minutes and once master notes are added that brewing time is reduced to around 3 hours 3 minutes. Note that you can finish brewing a potion for one gold coin when the timer on it is less than ten minutes. Do this for any of the potions in the first four combinations and you have about 6 minutes extra to spare on your Rental cauldron at which point you can add another potion to it while the Rental cauldron timer is still going, such as a Baruffio’s Brain Elixir. (For combination 4, the potion would need to be completed at around 2 hours 53 minutes; for combination 1-3, you can do it at around 2 hours 53 minutes on the second potion or you can choose to complete the first potion only at around 1 hour 31/32 minutes)
The TTD is the riskiest as you have to be quick and on time, because after master notes on the Rental cauldron it takes 3 hours and nine minutes to brew it so you have usually less than one minute, to complete it for one gold coin and add another potion to that cauldron.
⚠️ However: Please do remember that if you mess up the timings or forget to check back on your cauldron etc., you are likely to end up with only 1 or two potions (depending on the combination you went for) - I’ve done that before unfortunately, so I thought I’d add a warning just in case.
Hope the explanation and warning for the tip made sense and helps anyone reading it.

I'm at zero. Someone is spending 30 TTD's? I don't get anywhere near enough horns for that.

You can also spend 2 gold, and then you have 11 minutes to stick the next one in.
That makes the total 17 gold for the rental plus speed.
@Keybounce Yep, someone can do that too, but I like taking the risk and saving the gold - well, trying to anyway, if I don’t get distracted and forget about the potions in the cauldron👀😂
I’ll do you one better @Dewin99... a while ago I brewed a TTD in the rental cauldron and set a timer for the wrong amount of time! 😂 I wasted my rental, as I completely ran out of time and didn’t get to brew anything else.
I’ve done the 16 gold trick successfully twice, yay!
Anyone wanna guess how often I’ve gotten distracted and messed it up? (Spoiler alert: more than twice 😂). Usually I’m happy enough with an exstimulo and a brain elixir for 15 coins instead of risking forgetting and being stuck with just two exstim but it’s a good trick if you have a more attentive brain than I!
Has anyone successfully completed the "highest level" wizard challenge?
I've tried it at Forest 3 (my highest Auror level) and at Tower 5... neither took as finishing the quest. I did both from the Knight bus... Maybe it requires a different place?
@Creafess is auror your highest profession. And have you ever attempted anything level beyond forest 3? If you ever wandered into the darks, then whatever dark level you may have attempted (even if it was just during an event) becomes your highest attempted level.
If you are worried about winning the challenge, don't... You only have to attempt it. Losing the challenge still completes the task!
P. S. Notice that my MZ says recommended grade, not locked. Which means that since those levels are unlocked by my Auror profession, then I get to play D5 for that task (I played as auror solo) and failed (read my earlier post if you want to know what happened)
I never considered the paying to finish early thing. But I also am not attentive enough to pull off the extra potion and I'm happy just to have the one exstimulo and the baruffio's.
Thanks Bormacska for the tip about not having to win the challenge to complete. I'd resigned myself to failure on this one as I was faced with Dark V and not a cat in ****'s chance of winning. Bonus assignments now completed, happy days!
Hi! I completed the brilliant assignment bonus within time and clicked complete but the items were not rewarded. I had strong signal so it wasn't a network communication issue. The last task I completed was finding 30 Ministry foundables. Anyone experience anything similar? I would love any advice on how to receive the rewards I earned. Thanks.

@Bormacska Thank you. Just letting the timer run down worked.
Anyone else seeing a bunch of powdered dragon claw on the map? Is it just for the event or a permanent change?
It is week of the mushrooms isnt it?
So many mushrooms, with long brewing time, its piling up in the vault.
@SparkingPaces I’m quite sure it’s for the event only. Powdered dragon claw is appearing on the map and the spawn rate of leaping toadstools has increased too, since the event requires the use of BBE. Hopefully you’ll find plenty of both before the event ends. 😊

Wow great tips, this should be on tip and tricks section.

"Increased" is not increased enough.

@Imaginatio I am team distracted!
@Magpie31 lol, at least I’m not alone😂
I brew a TTD, set an alarm on my phone, then BBE with less than a minute to spare!
I’ll do you one better @Dewin99... a while ago I brewed a TTD in the rental cauldron and set a timer for the wrong amount of time! 😂 I wasted my rental, as I completely ran out of time and didn’t get to brew anything else.
I love the fact that we are all fighting to be the LEAST competent player!
or perhaps just the most distracted!! I completely forget about the second cauldron all the time until I'm reminded by these conversations.😂
I’ve done the 16 gold trick successfully twice, yay!

Thanks again! 😊
Am I the only one offered a silver key instead of 5 spell books as Bonus Task reward?!?
@Athenanimaga nope, they changed the reward after giving Orange wizard the details. Like to keep us guessing and surprised those devs!

Maybe @HPWUblue can take a quick look at your account for confirmation.
Very nice. I mastered professor now with BE one year later.
