@hpwulola or @HPWUblue trying to post the Orangewizard infographics and 1 went to moderation could you help get them out of the room of requirement?
Bonus task
Augh! Room of requirement again
If they are correct there is no family xp requirement in the regular or bonus task
the tasks looks simple enough.
Back to Dark V again for the bonus apparently... Oh joy! π€£
no boost for CoMC family this time then?
@Kodokmag Why bother when they were apparently boosted all of yesterday instead of Dark Arts ππ
When it says *collect* 1 baby horned serpent in task set 3, does it mean to place it on the page or does it mean to just recieve one from playing a Wizarding Challenge?
If the former, i would suggest having 2 BHS fragments placed while completing task set 2 so that it only takes one more WC to complete
@RabbeinuTam I think it’s the latter. “Collect” sounds closer to “Return”.
But if it’s the former, you’re totally right. And play Forest or higher chambers for better drop rates.
The event just started π
Surprise: The rewards for Baby Beasts Part 2 will include your first set of Defense Against the Dark Arts Books. Hold onto these for the upcoming SOS Training!
@hpwulola Nice! π
Is there any way that TTDs can boost High level foundables? 2 TTDs and 0 if them seen with either so far. I did get 2 driving around earlier, but if we're supposed to be able to complete from home, we can't do that if there are no High levels spawning. Thank you!
Unfortunately no, TTD just boosts foundables in general, not a specific type or threat level. I get your frustration though. Your best bet is dark detectors if you’re trying to get it done quickly.
If we could use them from home, that would be the perfect solution!
At least I can drive around and find them/go to a place to use Dark Detectors, but that's not a safe, viable solution for everyone.
@hpwulola For future events, it seems like the "Use 5 potions in wizarding challenges" task in 4/4 would be better placed in the same set of tasks as "Defeat your highest unlocked chamber 1 time." As it is in this event, you require us to use 5 of our precious potions in one set of tasks and then in the next set of tasks defeat the chamber in which we really could have used them. It's not a deal-breaker for me, because I was able to use my easier to get potions in the first task but some people who don't have a lot of potions to begin with might have less choice in what they use. Just a thought.
So maybe it's just me, but how is it that Constance is so knowledgeable about the black market trade of baby beasts when she just professed before that she isn't an animal person?
Finished the core four task sets for Baby Beasts Part 2, onto the Bonus Tasks.
Need 5 squid legs via finishing the Bonus Tasks or unlocking & using 5 portkeys and 2 baby hippogriffs to finish the event.
@AMslimfordy yes, you only need to receive one fragment of the baby horned serpent to complete that task.
@CeruleanGirl i respectfully disagree because A) the 5 potions are in the core 4 task sets and B) in the bonus task set there is a "Use 7 Potions" task. If the 5 potion task was there too, it would be way too easy to finish.
@Bormacska seems to me like Constance isn't all she seems to be, trying to play us for fools. I believe she is working for the bad guys.
@hpwulola the new DADA spell books look awesome, can't wait to use them.
Congratulations on finishing so quickly @RabbeinuTam!
What do we use the DADA books for?
Hi all, enjoying the game (almost a week in, just made L26 Prof L7).
Stuck on BB pt2 3/4 use any exstimulo in a wizarding challenge.
Tried the Knight Bus, but the option to use EP, SEP, PEP not there... so I tried going into a chamber with an EP pre-loaded but that didn't count for the challenge...
Any ideas welcome
@CeruleanGirl That's good feedback, thanks!
Wow, @RabbeinuTam quick completion! Excited to get the DADA books I see π
@RincewindsHat welcome to the forum!
When you are doing a wizarding challenge (on the Knight Bus or at a physical fortress), tap on an opponent to engage them. When you're in the battle with the foe, tap the potion icon in the lower left corner of the screen to open your potion vault. That will bring up the image of 3 potions, but you may be able to see others by scrolling left or right. Select one of the varieties of exstimulo potion (one of the blue ones) and tap on it to use it. It will make your next few attacks stronger, which will help you to defeat the chamber faster. This will give you credit for the task.
So in honor of this month's BE, and the fact that I appreciate all things cephalopod, I've been making a small consortium of these little guys.
@RabbeinuTam Yes, I realize that, but the task in the fourth set is to use the potions specifically in Challenges, while the one in the bonus tasks is to just use seven potions. Therefore, my point is that the task to use them in challenges should be in the same task set as the one to beat your highest fortress level. By placing it in the set before, it forces players to use up several of their fortress-friendly potions and then, in the next set, beat an extremely difficult fortress challenge in which those potions would have been very helpful.
If the task to use any potions and the one to use potions in the fortress were switched, it would mean that you could use things like TTDs, BBEs, DDs and basic Exstimulos for the first one, and save the most useful fortress potions for when you tackle your highest fortress level. Obviously for people who have a lot of potions on hand, it’s not an Issue, but not everyone is that lucky.
Would it have been better had they put another brew 6 task in 4/4 or in the bonus round @CeruleanGirl ?
