Yeah, the wit sharpening gifts were the last open task on my list as well. Got none from challenges, but eventually managed to get three from greenhouses after spinning them like 20 times.
Weird that a task that seemed so mundane turned out to be the hardest part of the event...
This is the most frustrating task I’ve ever had since I started playing this game 3 years ago. I have tried so many different things to get the wit gifts and I haven’t gotten any. It’s just so crazy, I can’t believe Niantic made this task so difficult. If anyone wants to add me as a friend, I can always use the help! 5376 6630 0517 is my code. Good luck to anyone trying to finish!
I’m having the same issue with Wit Sharpening Gifts. I have completed all other event tasks plus many more Knight Bus battles and a few Greenhouse hits, and have gotten one gift. This is especially frustrating for me because I currently cannot make in-app purchases due to some (reported to Niantic) bug. I need the event spell energy!
I played for hours, got several greenhouses in my area.. Prestiged an adversaries page... And in the last day still sitting at just one wit sharpening potion... Looks like being level 60 doesn't mean anything when it comes to thoughtless task design.
This is beyond ridicilous! Got a few wit-sharpening gifts just before the event started. After the event none for the first two days, now the last day I pretty much only battled in the knight bus until the gift cap was reached and I only got one lousy wit-sharpening gift! I honestly got 90+ gifts from the bus as I avoided getting spell energy from inns to save gift quota. And most of the time I had max 25/30 gift slots occupied. That's the event for me, cant finish it now and cant do nothing about it, so annoying!
Well, I probably will not succeed in finishing all of the Adversaries tasks and getting the bonus rewards. I am only missing the 3 Wit Sharpening Potion gifts. I am disappointed. I was able to visit only one greenhouse and got energy and potion ingredient gifts. I have played fortresses several times, and played mostly in the forest chambers, but not a solitary Wit Sharpening potion. It's harder to play the upper levels in the fortress when your potions and energy supplies are decimated by doing the battles with the adversaries.
Still, I'm surprised that I accomplished as much as I did. When I started, my first Edible Dark Mark spawned battles with Narcissa Malfoy, Gilderoy Lockhart, and one of the dragons. After that, I didn't think that I would even get the Draco Malfoy and Fenrir Grayback traces.
Also visited greenhouses opened with sharpening potion gifts received from friends, battled all different levels solo and with teammates and runestones from all categories one through five and don't get me started on the wast e involved with these dark marks I tried to see if there were possible boosts or bugs affected by using the tonic for trace detection and also barrufio, And also emptied out my gift vault sent to friends but to no avail It didn't even matter how many which sharpening potion gifts received not one registers as being received and after a weekend event that completely drained me of my potion stash and spell power I won't be able to finish either and I am pretty darn bummed out I'm also very surprised We have not heard anything from the powers that be in any fashion That's strange.
This entire event feels like a bad joke because of the stupid Wit Sharpening Gift -mission. Who in their right mind came up with such a stupid task that seems to be impossible to complete? Did the people at Niantic just decide to publish the rigged event and call it a day, without bothering to respond to any of the negative feedback? This gigantic failure of a task takes the fun out of the game. FUN. This should be fun but you end up losing players (and income) by designing idiotic event tasks like this.
Annoying to fail a task due to chance. Had it been some kind of effort involved it had been ok, but having gone through hundreds of gifts and ending up with only one wit gift is not ok. The green star/fragment debacle was worse but this adds to the pile.
I traveled several km away from the city to visit an old cloister with these green houses and finally finished the task.
Took me about 15 minutes to get a wit gift with this setup.
No wonder I couldn't finish it at home where greenhouses are few and sever hundred meters away from each other (despite being covered in inns everywhere).
If areas like these are the standard we are set to play by, the devs lost their touch with reality.
The story at the end of the event completion was a big deal and contained a lot of twists and explanations.
So my condolences to everyone who got denied the storyline.
Why did they put major story reveals at events few could complete?
I was one of the lucky few to finish. Wit gift drop rate was way too few. It took the entire weekend to find 3... down to the last few minutes of the event. Only received one from greenhouses after visiting countless times. My second and third by fortress, even that took forever.
As for the adversaries difficulty. I found the dragons to be too difficult, especially the ancient norwegian ridgeback. That was impossible to even target. I don't know if I could have won since the app froze and crashed and wouldn't load until rebooted my phone. The other adversaries like Draco and Greyback felt like they were the only ones that didn't vary/fluctuate in their difficulty. I found Narcissa's difficulty fluctuated greatly.
What is the thought process of denying players completion, exactly?
I can tell you their thought process:
"the more they cant find gifts the more theyll play and/or give us their $, they'll play for 10hrs a day until they find the 3rd gift, the more we frustrate them the more theyll plauy, we want them to play as much as possible for days on end to finish the tasks, we dont want them to finish the tasks in an hr"

I have also almost completed all the callenges, but cannot complete the Wit sharpening potion. Frustrating....

I woke up this morning and had requests from so many friends. It feels like Christmas came early. Thank you all so much and Merry/Happy Christmas!

I agree about can’t finish the event because of the wit sharpening gifts. I’m about done with this
Dear Niantic. You are aware of this for a while now and didn't do anything. I really hope we all get the rewards we deserve.
In quarentine, 100+ fortress battles. No wit sharpening gifts. Please help
Seems fixed. Just saw player get all 3 gifts from 2 greenhouses, in succession, within 30 minutes.
Poor event, Niantic. Great to see new content, but execution was sub-par, yet again.

What dimwit thought about this task without thinking about completion? I quit.
Also visited greenhouses opened with sharpening potion gifts received from friends, battled all different levels solo and with teammates and runestones from all categories one through five and don't get me started on the wast e involved with these dark marks I tried to see if there were possible boosts or bugs affected by using the tonic for trace detection and also barrufio, And also emptied out my gift vault sent to friends but to no avail It didn't even matter how many which sharpening potion gifts received not one registers as being received and after a weekend event that completely drained me of my potion stash and spell power I won't be able to finish either and I am pretty darn bummed out I'm also very surprised We have not heard anything from the powers that be in any fashion That's strange.
I am in the same boat!!! So upset!
Same issue. Trying to get these since start of event and can not find. Ridiculous!

We are 6 in the household. I’m the only one who was able to finish the task. All others are stuck on 0/3 or 2/3
we been out 3-4 hours every day of the event hitting every single GH and most of the inns in the city.
also did a bunch og fortresses. No Wit gifts.
and yes we have been deleting gifts regularly to make room for new gifts.
wrote to support but no reply.
wife and 2 kids deleted the game. :-/

Got my 3 gifts. Only one registered. Now I’m here with gifts I don’t want and without the event rewards I desperately want 😒
