@AuroraKadavra - if there is a UK Discord channel I would be interested in joining perhaps with a view to getting together with others, maybe a local meet up? There are a few players local to me in Birmingham who may be interested, it’s hard finding 4 others to tower with
@OriginalCaruso im not sure if there is, that would be really good to have a local one! At min i have a Facebook group i meet up with in Preston. I chat with a few friends mainky from the states so its lovely to have got to know them well. But also funny at times with the time difference, they are saying night as im about to say hello lol.
Il have a proper look at discord later see if i can work it out. I can get info on starting up a channel if needed for you.
As a lapsed long term Ingress player I miss the community and am hoping WU community will pick up
To pick up on the Indianapolis get-together, I had the impression the tickets were limited and I couldn’t take the risk of travelling and not getting a ticket
@OriginalCaruso 😂 yeh- that's the thing missing on the forum i think is the ability to chat a little off topic sometimes- cos these things can naturally evolve right? And its actually really good to be able to chat a little beyond the game & we are all just still connecting thru the love of the potterverse, this game & the forum which surely proves it makes a successful community?
I hope the do introduce some sort of chat- ability lol in the future cos this forum has really proved a life- line for me thru some tough times & being able to escape here with fellow potterheads is fantastic!! 😀
@ClairabusGryff - re post #49 above in this thread, can’t send you a runestone giftbox because i think the prior one i sent has not been opened yet? (at least i think that is the meaning of a gray “sent” icon where the “send gift” button usually is located). when i see the button change from “sent” to “send gift” in time, i’ll send another runestone giftbox your way, though if you are saving your limit of 10 giftboxes for extravagant ones to open during CD with a baruffio (to get 3X wizarding xp boost), i totally understand.
@OriginalCaruso forgot to say weve mentioned in the past about arranging next year our own little fanfest if they dont do one in uk- all meeting at the Harry Potter Studios tour, maybe make a weekend, or just the overnight of it & some of the guys on here from states are planning to come to the uk next year too, like spring time/early summer i think.
So id be totally down for co-ordinating that one & getting as many of us uk players together as poss would be fantastic!!!
Il have a chat with Lola about it- think it would be great!
@LadyRedIII - sorry, no discord, twitter, instagram, facebook, etc. the only discord in my future would be if i actually started spending time on those platforms! i do hope we get in-app communication for HPWU as well as private messaging for this forum.
Oh no @WerewolfChaser so sorry to hear that! Its the last thing you need on top of what you've been through!! Sending love & hugs to you & the best wishes that I can.
It would be so lovely if you do get to make the trip, i think the others are planning around the same time so this could be awesome with a uk crew & some of the well known names from here - I would be so happy if we can alk get the timings to work out! 😊
@AuroraKadavra yes definitely! If you figure out how to find me on discord - let me know. I am pretty clueless on there but I do follow a few threads a little bit. How was your CD?
@LadyRedIII i will have an explore on discord, iv got a friend on there who's very techy so he should know.
CD was great! It felt soooo busy tho, once id got the about 10 buckbeaks & then 2 huts i needed it was full on get as much done as i could, so had trace & baruffio constantly going- i put a dark detector in 2 inns close together but they are always just not working as well as they should I think? Certainly not enough to have 30min hang around for the odd trace to show up.
I know theyve increased the higher level traces that come- and ive defo noticed that- so thats fsb. But i think the frequency still needs increasing cos at crucial times like CD even in the pouring rain & hail I had to move & get round the main roads- no time to shelter at the inns with 1 spawn every 3 min or so.
So i cracked on & it went so fast! Was happy to prestige tho & did about 116k after having to do first hour from home so very chuffed with that!
It meant as i levelled to 40 at start, i then didnt have to see that tiny sliver of circle usually see for a few days when first level up lol! It was to a 1/4 by the end of CD - yay!! 😀
@kiheikid the chart you sent me about what level of fortress to potentially get you the needed fragments. I have been living by that. In Magical Games & Sports I need 3 more "Quidditch Pitch Stands" in the Hogwards Quidditch Pitch Page, which according to your awesome spreadsheet you sent me should work:
Tower Level 5 at 56% which I tried it 3 times and didn't get a single one.
Also in Ministry of Magic page in the Courtroom Ten page I need 8 frags of "Ministry Visitor's Entrance" and 7 frags of Wizengamot Accusation Chair which I followed the spreadsheet and got one out of 5.
Most importantly I have a gazillion Hogwarts School runestones and I need 6 of the Wild Boar frag on the Moving Staircases II page and that one has a 100% chance in tower level 3. I tried 4 times and not a single frag.
Am I reading the spreadsheet incorrectly? And when you play a fortress do you look to see what you need and then look at the spreadsheet to know what chamber to select? Or am I over-analyzing? Which is quite possible. :)
@ClairabusGryff - i wish there were an easy answer for you. i think the main problem is that the charts themselves are not built on a large enough sample size even if their sample size is already very impressive, and all the information is spread out among multiple charts at different tabs rather than a single chart for every permutation. the charts by fortress foundable and chamber level have results based on all runestone levels combined. the charts by runestone level and chamber level have results based on all fortress foundables combined.
we need but do not have a single chart that isolates specific fortress foundable and runestone level to show which fortress chambers, or specific fortress foundable and fortress chamber to show which runestone level.
when i was grrrrinding, i looked at winged abraxan horse and tried to find which chambers had percentages in the 60s or 70s regardless of runestone level. then i looked at the chart for which chambers by runestone level (for all fortress foundables) to see if i could notice any patterns. for me, it looked like runestone levels 1 and 3 would do better at tower4 and runestone level2 would do better at xxx (gotta check my notes)

ps: the charts also told me that my usual sweet spot at tower chamber 3 had lower percentages overall (across all foundables) than tower 4 and tower 2, so since then i have moved up or down 1 chamber from my old sweet spot when i want to go grrrinding.
I just wish there was something more predictable than a complete **** shot and throwing darts at moving vehicles. I mean anything really. I just need to place the silly picture of the boar in Hogwarts School Moving Staircases II and I can prestige the page but all I keep getting are the stupid, freaking, annoying owl lecturns!!! Do you feel my frustration!
But thank you @kiheikid for trying to find any patterns at all.
Believe it or not I keep it family friendly on this forum so I said in the *** is crapshoot, which I guess that is a bad word. See if it happens again. First part of the word rhymes with map, or clap and **** as second word.

@AuroraKadavra - That would be cool, count me in!
Burp! I'm full on 150k XP in CD period, looks like we need more CD for next month again!
@AuroraKadavra If it’s a weekend or a school holiday I’d be well up for that.
@AuroraKadavra We're looking at making the trip next year. May/June possibly.
We've just discovered a lump on one of my doggielets so will wait to see what the vet says and $$$ involved as we're pretty sure it's cancer.

misery is the constant companion, but so are we to one other, so we can all commiserate!
@ClairabusGryff - did you just pott(er)y-mouth something that earned you all those censoring **** **** ?!
Believe it or not I keep it family friendly on this forum so I said in the *** is crapshoot, which I guess that is a bad word. See if it happens again. First part of the word rhymes with map, or clap and **** as second word.
oh, you dirty birdy ! lol
That's weird it wasn't censored in the above post 😜
@AuroraKadavra hope you don’t mind I’ve added you 😁 I’m based in the UK
