harry potter: witches unite!

This month's Wizarding Weekend begins tomorrow, Friday 04 September at 11 a.m. *PDT* and runs through Monday 07 September 11 a.m. PDT. Please note, that's not local time! (What time is that where you are?) ( Read more... )And as always, if you do nothing else, be sure to pick up your complimentary gift...

Part 2 of the Baby Beasts Brilliant Event runs from Tuesday, 25 August at 11am PT through 01 September. Some people have gotten stuck, so here are some tips to help you complete the tasks. As usual, the ever wonderful Orange Wizard has made some infographics to help us, so let's take a look at those tasks.

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

Good luck and let me know how you do. 😊

August's Fortress-centric Community Day takes place tomorrow Saturday 08 August all day from 12:01am till 11:59pm local time. Special Assignments will reward 5 Spellbooks, 30 Field Guides, 5 Ministry Manuals, 13 Runestones, 100 Gold, 70 Energy, a Potent Exstimulo potion and some ingredients. In the past, there have been issues with bonuses not being properly received unless a person in an active Community Day time zone enters the Fortress chamber first. (To be on the safe side, it helps to be the first person into the chamber. On the other hand, if the bug persists, it allows us to extend the bonuses as long as someone else enters first.)

And once again, the wonderful OrangeWizard has been so good as to put together infographics with the details and tasks:

You may have already seen the in game announcement. They've fixed the issues with the Knight Bus and Fortresses, and players should be good to use them now. If you are still locked out of the game, even after restarts, you'll need to contact Niantic support via their website.

To make up for the problems this caused, they've extended the event by twelve hours. It will now end on 27 July at 11 pm PT (What time is that where you are?). It's possible you may not be able to see that extension reflected in the event timer as yet.

As to other problems...

People seem to be having difficulty getting the required number of foundables together to complete the task, no matter how many TFTD they use. (I've used at least four TFTD and still only have 4 Lupins to show for it, and I definitely don't have fifteen of them to throw at this event.) That's okay. The rewards aren't too great, your registries won't have any gaps if you don't finish, and the point wasn't to make you deplete your potions, but to have you figure some things out about your SOS Training trees.

I'll try to put together a separate post to talk about them a little. It may not be able to help you finish, but it should help you progress through those Registries.

July's Community Day will take place next weekend on Saturday 11 July all day from 12:01am till 11:59pm local time. Special Assignments will reward 3 Spellbooks, 40 Gold, potions, energy, and some ingredients.

I hope this helps you get ready. If you do nothing else, don’t forget to pick up your free TFTD ingredients, snowdrops and 50 Spell Energy. And make sure you've downloaded your assets.

Stay safe and stay well. ❤️

Part 1 of the One Year Later Brilliant Event starts Tuesday, 02 June at 11am PST and runs through 09 June. Again, things have been adjusted to (for the most part) allow for playing from home. There is a Portkey Portmanteau unlocking requirement in Task 3, but with Adventure Sync, that should be doable from home.

So without further ado, here's your sneak peek to help you prepare for the tasks. (As always, if this is too spoilery for you, just give it a pass.)

Heya, I haven't forgotten you guys. The bug is *still* not fixed. 😕 (And I imagine the demonstrations in the US aren't really conducive to things like patching bugs on weekends either.) One of the mini event's requirements is 800 MG&S Family XP, however, and as you may have discovered, that's difficult to accrue without at least placing things, if not prestiging them.

So if you are stuck on that assignment, it's entirely up to you at this point whether it's worth clicking on the registry images, placing the Foundables and having things potentially not count down the road or not. At this point, unless you've kept records of your fragment counts, it's too much of a tangle to know how many you *should* have anyway, so you probably aren't even in much of a situation to get it straightened out with support. (People who have kept far better records than I (and I take a silly amount of screenshots for research) weren't able to, so personally I gave up worrying about it and placed the damn things. But again, mileage varies.) Good luck. 🍀
