Brilliant Event: Battle of the Department of Mysteries Part 1

Part 1 of the Battle of the Department of Mysteries Brilliant Event starts Tuesday, 15 September at 11am PST and runs through 22 September. Once again, things have been adjusted to allow for playing from home. (shorter portkeys etc.)

OrangeWizard has put together infographics to help us better complete the tasks...



Rewards include 15 green Restricted Section Books, 5 DADA Books, 5 red Spell Books, 1 silver key, 50 gold, a Dark Detector, 60 energy, some potions and ingredients.


Here is where you can find the Brilliant Foundables on the Event Registry page:



Note that thanks to the Knight Bus, we still have to win the Bell Jar of Time Fragments in Fortress Battles, but the Ron Weasley Portkey Fragments can be earned by completing the Bonus Assignments.

Brilliant Portkeys for this event have once again been reduced to 1.5km. As a reminder, Part 1 Portkeys will give you part 1 rewards any time you open them. As in the past, you don't have to unlock them now, as long as they are in your inventory, you can buy yourself some time to unlock them and get the fragments for your registries (or complete the bonus assignment for the fragments).


Once again, there's a Bonus Assignment after the main tasks are completed. Make sure to look for these in-game. As we've come to know, the 'highest unlocked chamber' is likely to hurt. It may help in terms of other players not flaking out that we're required to use five potions in the Fortress Battles, although an abundance of 'cheap' Health Potions might get players past that without making too much of a meaningful contribution. (They keep tweaking this requirement; I don't think this is the best combination they've come up with yet...)



Rewards include 5 DADA Books, 2 red Spell Books, 5 Brilliant Ron Weasley Foundables, a Potent Exstimulo Potion, a Silver Key, a Unicorn Hair, 30 Energy, 2000 XP and 100 Event XP.


As usual, there will be freebies and bundles.



If you do nothing else, don’t forget to pick up your free TFTD ingredients and 25 Spell Energy.

Stay safe out there, have fun and good luck. ❤️
