This issue needs to be fixed. 5 hours later I'm still tormented by traces that spawned from my first 2 tonics and every time the game goes back to the world map it lags out my phone severely.
They followed me during an entire 2km walk. I've cleared my cache, I've logged out and back in. Still they spawn.
I wouldn't mind dealing with every stupid already maxxed out gold page trace if I'd seen more than 3 Newt traces so far(none of which were from defeating a poacher).
1 Unicorn (but alas, wasted pre-prestige, so fragment did not count)
3 adult Nifflers
and too many regular Magizoo traces to count, but they arranged themselves in a ring around me!
and currently at 86/200 doxies (started today at 6/200), so +80 through 3 TTDs is pretty good despite the extra SE used ... now that i think about it, as a simple cost for getting doxies without having to wake up at dawn, 2SE is a pretty good price per doxie
I’m really glad for those of you who are finding Newts. 😁
No such luck for me. After defeating 95 Poachers, I have gotten two Newts from those encounters and two that I believe popped up on their own. It’s pretty frustrating to see all of those pretty blue traces everywhere and knowing they are useless to me since I only need Newts and Picketts. 🤷🏼♀️
Update: Right after posting this I started finding Newts! Magic!!
Can the "poacher" sometimes be a horned serpent, sometimes a doxy, sometimes a centaur, etc? All the hard-to-find oddities might show up in rotation, or perhaps a chance based on how many traces of them are needed? (All doxies, all the time, and we never ever get horned serpents outside of events here.)
the leftover regular magizoology traces don’t seem to ever go away unless you spend the SE to capture it ... which is a problem where the image is already placed do we not need the extra fragments from such traces and we would prefer saving our SE
well, the only way i could get rid of all the smurfs was by engaging them, one trace at a time. yes, it used up a lot of SE but fortunately enough of the traces gave SE as a bonus reward that i just about broke even in SE (with the help of a couple regular SE giftboxes)
Thank you for adjusting the Newt foundables. So far I have captured 11 Newts...spectacular!
On to SE. I am almost out. Yesterday I picked up 3 lots of it on the ground and from the poacher I got around 40 spell energy but the lack of SE on the ground has made the game difficult. I have many generous friends sending ESR gifts but each poacher takes 3 casts then the Magizoology trace takes 1-2 so basically about 4-5 per poacher. Some of the rewards have been great. I received one TTD and one strong exstimulo but am receiving lots of wormwood which I never ever brew. But I have received over 200 pieces of gold which I can use to buy 100 SE.
I see pics of some of my friends playing areas and there is so much SE on the ground. I am hardly seeing any maybe up to 4 lots a day. I don’t know what changed but I am only going out of my house one time a week for necessities so I am legit at home all week except for a couple of hours one day. PLEASE have SE on the ground more.
What about the portkeys? Have you found any? I only got 3 event-related until now. I even took a walk around the neighborhood and still found only them. Usually when I have free portkey slots, there's an abudance of portkeys lying around. Now I don't even see the normal ones. :/
I’ve used 5TTD and took every poacher that spawned and had only 2 unicorns but loads of the other traces. As the unicorn rarely appear in normal gameplay, please make them spawn more out of the poachers.
by the way, the TTD and BBE potions i take affect the hit points i inflict per spellcast on the poacher, though not enough to change total number of spellcasts per poacher (2x)
without either TTD or BBE,
1st cast takes poacher down to 102/300
with TTD and BBE,
1st cast takes poacher down to 60/300
with TTD only,
1st cast takes poacher down to 90/300
these numbers are for me, a maxed professor, level 40 overall
btw, i have not tried what 1st cast takes poacher down to with BBE only but i am not likely during this event to pop just a BBE without a TTD
This event is a lot of fun. I like how the Poacher releases a creatures trace, and catching it gives some great rewards. Often 1-3 gold, sometimes 10 SE, sometimes an ingredient, but overall great rewards.
You guys have been killing these days. Lots of fun events and the Knight Bus adds a lot. Thank you!
@hpwulola - if hpwu does decide to repeat the poacher mechanism for future events, how about using it for bringing us the out-of-region dragons and dragon eggs (eg, antipodean opaleye for north america) ?!?! 💡
While the sea of blue is very pretty (blue is my favorite color) I don’t need any of them and they make it very difficult to pick up spell energy, ingredients, portmanteaus, and even to tap on other traces! Just a tiny bit of overkill maybe. 🤷🏼♀️
For example, I’ve tried several times to get that bitterroot and it’s evading me.
I’ve missed out on several ingredients and portmanteaux because I try to tap on them, hit a trace instead, back out, and the item I wanted is gone.
During this event, Unicorns work similarly to the other Magizoo foundables and can be rescued after defeating a Poacher but Unicorns will be the rarest among all Magizoology foundables you rescue from the Poacher!
@CeruleanGirl Good feedback, we are looking into how this impacts players and will keep in mind for future events. For now, sometimes restarting the app will clear a few traces!
@hpwulola - unicorns being rare (relative to other foundables in the MZ family) is one thing, but practically non-existent is quite another. da missus and i have been using numerous TTDs but have seen zero unicorns since yesterday noon.
"practically non-existent" is an exaggeration. In a typical month I'm lucky to see 2 unicorns. Since the event started yesterday I've seen 6 unicorns. It's a relatively small number compared to all of the magizoology traces I've seen, but still far more than would be seen in any other 24 hour period.

@Imaginatio The team was awesome in quickly responding to the feedback! I passed along these regards to them 😁
@hpwulola Thank you for all you do and for passing along the regards to the team! The whole @HPWUTeam is awesome! Thank you! 😃😊
@CeruleanGirl - me too !!

my TTD#3 results:
6 Newts (and able to prestige the page to bronze)
2 Occamy Eggs
1 Unicorn (but alas, wasted pre-prestige, so fragment did not count)
3 adult Nifflers

i agree with @Narcissist
the leftover regular magizoology traces don’t seem to ever go away unless you spend the SE to capture it ... which is a problem where the image is already placed do we not need the extra fragments from such traces and we would prefer saving our SE
it’s like being overrun by smurfs!!
well, the only way i could get rid of all the smurfs was by engaging them, one trace at a time. yes, it used up a lot of SE but fortunately enough of the traces gave SE as a bonus reward that i just about broke even in SE (with the help of a couple regular SE giftboxes)
just curious - without TTD if somebody takes down Poacher, other players see revealed his Magi trace or not? :)
@hpwulola Great! Thank you so much for this! I appreciate it ☺️ Well, uhm... can we made also some tuning adjustments for unicorns? (please..😅 )
@hpwulola - yup, i second @Hoyot ’s request please for more unicorn trace spawns, both with and without TTD ... sorely underspawned so far
Thank you for adjusting the Newt foundables. So far I have captured 11 Newts...spectacular!

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (cit.) ... Unicorns! 😀
@hpwulola please, set unicorns free! 😅

please@hpwulola @HPWUTeam , more unicorns please !!!!!

Wow @CeruleanGirl you win the blue trace award of 2020!! Maybe clear some of them out for their awesome gifts??

"practically non-existent" is right for some. I have used 12 tonics and only managed 3 unicorn spawns.
Great rewards though, really enjoyed getting silver keys and gold.
So I have to ask @hpwulola and @HPWUblue, is it a hoard of nifflers, a vault, a bank, or a pouch? Is there official cann0n on this?
I only ask because I just waded through something like 15 or more and I had to make sure my rings and watch were still attached! 😂🤣😂.
Oh and for the curious multiple unicorns in a group are called a blessing. So really we are asking for a blessing of unicorns with our TTD 😉🦄😊
Um the starred word is can-on 🙄
