Suddenly my app crashed and now it won’t open. It’s been an hour. I restarted my phone but nothing is working
I just noticed that I have not seen one Brilliant trace nor port key this whole event. I used tons of trace tonic and fought tons of battles and nothing. Not even Brilliant characters!
@Iwanttoplayalso the next brilliant event doesn't start until Tuesday August 25. The current Wizarding Weekend event doesn't include any brilliant traces or special portkeys.
still no detailed task yet? 🤨
In moderation.
These foundables are boosted (as per Orange Wizard):
Ravenclaw Student
Hufflepuff Student
Gryffindor Student
Slytherin Student
and also chances to spot Minerva McGonagall!
Wondering when we will get more details on the event and any interesting traces that will show up more often.
Still have challenge tasks. I hope this event will be no trouble. 🤔
Oooh mysterious note pieces. Are we finally seeing some more mystery pages being added?
By collecting 5 Brilliant Professor Sprout foundables and the reward for task set one, that should almost be enough to collect 2 runestones without doing anything in task set two.
UPDATE: There currently is an error with Task List 3. We are looking into fixing this task now.
So I just made it to step 3 in the event, and instead of 200 Hogwarts School Family XP, it was return 200 Hogwarts School Family Foundables. Is this a bug, because I waited to place 2 hogwarts school images to immediately finish it, and then I got nothing from it
It would be nice to see a brilliant portkey and even 1 professor sprout
@RoboBear4 see Lola's post right above yours.
Never mind, I see it's already being handled.
How is it possible to return 200 Hogwarts foundables??!
Update: Task List 3 now has 'Collect 30 Hogwarts Family Foundables' as a task
@Eowyn14 Refresh the app, it will be updated :)
I had the same problem as robobear4 - Step 3 of event wants 200 foundables!
They screwed something up?? *shocked*
Not a single professor sprout anywhere, even using tonic for trace detection. Loads of professor flitwick. What’s going on?
3hrs in and one hogwarts foundable so far - even using TTD? ANyone have better success - getting 7 hard enough... 200 ??!
WHAT IS THIS? Nothings for me in BE
4hrs, 2 TTD and still only one hogwarts foundable?!
Note: There is a visual error with the ‘Mysterious Notes’ that are needed in Task List 4. The rewards summary is incorrectly displaying them as a Mysterious Artefacts Family Icon. These are the ‘Mysterious Notes’ and will count towards the task ’Collect 10 Mysterious Note Pieces.
@hpwulola I am getting mostly WoWW traces from Tonics, rather than Hogwarts School. Just a thought, but is it still set to the setting it had for the weekend?
5 hrs 13 mins in, and I've had one brilliant foundable. What gives? Tonic for Trace isn't popping anything either. What am I missing?
Is the second task in the 3rd set supposed to be 30 foundables or 200 family xp? I tried refreshing my app and it still has 30 foundables
It was showing 'Collect 200 Hogwarts Family Foundables' before @RabbeinuTam, but It has been updated to 'Collect 30 Hogwarts Family Foundables'. Good luck!
I got kicked out of the Knight Bus and now can't sign in 😪
