@hpwulola @HPWUrobert Please can you boost the event spawns for the rest of this Wizarding Weekend? The spawns are not enough for people to complete the tasks even using Trace Tonics and Trace Charms, especially given that many people have been locked out of the game for a big part of the weekend. I know you have extended the event by 12 hours and am grateful for that, but in the UK this is overnight so not as helpful to us. Boosting spawns would be much more helpful to us so that we can make the most of the rest of the event.


Many thanks in anticipation,


Serennu (Jo)

    I agree, in the UK we barely benefit from the extra 12 hours.

    Ibagree. My account was frozen for all of Saturday. I caught up a bit on Sunday but today it’s like torture. Not much spawning and those that do go way. Even tonic doesn’t spawn them. Please increase the spawns today

    How the heck do you get 800 xp at 10 a time in such a short space of time, it's near on impossible 80 battles of a certain trace that are very few and far between lucky if I see 6 a day

    Given that the Knight Bus and all the real-World Fortresses were broken for well over 24 hours (and we were officially told not to use them) a 12 hour extension to the current event is simply not adequate.


    (This is aside from the fact that the spawn rate of this event's collectables is unusually low - as has been reported repeatedly both on this forum and also on Reddit)

    I’ve got the 800 points (it took some doing!) and can get enough of the Foundables after using a lot of TTD, except that the Dumbledore Foundable hasn’t spawned even once the whole long weekend. It’s impossible.

    The spawn rate on the Dumbledore foundable is more than low and the level of difficulty for each catch very expensive in energy and potions. Using Tonic, I am seeing 1 spawn an hour. Using Tonic and deploying 9 dark detectors at the same time did not increase the Dumbledore spawn rate. When it shows, it takes Estimulo and Dwadle to ensure a catch. It is really not fun spending 10 hours And 40+ potions trying to get 10 foundables

    Yes spawns didn't happen for event foundables like they should when using trace potion. made event very difficult.

    It is not just during the wizarding events either. During the stuff for the Calamity events things are not spawning. I thought you all had increased the spawn rates for us so that we did not have to take risks during the pandemic. I did not complete this last event's extra stuff because time ran out on me due to the brilliant spawns not spawning. I used potions. I sat in my car next to three inns with dark detectors maxed out and a potion going and still was not able to get the last 15 I needed for the event. My husband is in the same boat. This is getting really annoying. This has happened for the last several events. It is making me not want to play the game anymore.

    @Kevralyn I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to finish the event. For your future reference, the more dark detectors there are on an inn the more high threat traces that will spawn. If you're trying to get brilliant traces ( medium threat) , then only use 1 dark detector per inn. Otherwise you'll see more higher threat traces so you'll be less likely to get the brilliants you want.

    This is not the first time this has happened. The spawn rates have decreased drastically. It is happening again with this weekend's community day. I have been playing since it opened yesterday. I have only been able to complete the Wizarding challenges part and the Baruffios Brain elixir part of the quest. Only two Occamy eggs foundables have appeared and there have been no sightings of the unicorn or Newt Scammader foundables. This is insane. The game was supposed to be taking into account that people should not be socializing and walking around together. Fix the spawn rates don't tell me how to be out in public at risk of catching COVID. I live in a hot spot.

    I agree spawn rates have depleted. I have been through about 13 trace tonics in anticipation to complete the weekends challenge and have not seen many occamy eggs to finish off. Still needing 3 and ready to go for a 14th trace potion. Please increase for all challenges.

    And it is happening again. I have spent two days trying to get 500 mysterious artifacts xp and I am only at 250. There is less than a day to go. This is getting ridiculous. I am starting to not want to play this game anymore.

    This is now the third event I have not been able to complete thanks to low spawn rates of what is needed. And really guys? 2000 Dark Arts family xp when you get at most 3 xp per capture and only 10 per castle IF you managed to get a Dark Arts foundable, which is not guaranteed even if you use a Dark Arts token? This is getting ridiculous. I am at a point where I do not even want to know another event is happening because I know I am going to be frustrated and not able to finish it. Before this I was able to finish EVERY event. The spawn rates really have to be fixed. There is a reason I stopped playing Pokémon Go and it looks like this game is trying to make me follow in those footsteps.

    I agree. On the morning of October 5, I needed three more Tom Riddle Foundables to finish the assignment. I used four Tonic for Trace Detection potions, took a walk to my local park, and placed three dark detectors in each of the two inns, and ONE Tom Riddle Foundable spawned that entire time.


    Thank you!

    @WELSHSITH personally I had grinded forts before the event so I had a fort foundable ready to place at a DA gold page which gave me 1200 fxp then I placed riddle in gold page which gave me another 600, then returned some riddles, voldy portraits and persivals for the remaining 200.


    i cant imagine doing 2k fxp in non gold pages, id have quit.
