There is a Portkey Portmanteau unlocking requirement in Task 3, but with Adventure Sync, that should be doable from home.

From hpwulola over on the harrypotterwizardsunite.com website:

"Hi everyone. We wanted to provide a status update on the next steps we are working on to resolve the bugs caused when the 2.13.0 Game Update was released last week.

We have come up with a solution that will safely add back Fragments players lost due to the issues with last week’s release. While we don’t have an exact timeframe for when this fix will be implemented (hopefully within the next week or so), we are comprehensively QA testing this fix to ensure it doesn’t result in any additional issues. We know that you are eager to see this fix, so we appreciate your patience this week as we work to get this out the door. When we confirm the results of this fix are successful, we will update you with more details and a timeline of when you can expect to see these changes in your account.

We want to reassure you all that our planned fix will restore your lost Fragments without performing any rollback. Rest assured that gameplay progress players have made since these bugs have occurred will be unchanged. We hope to see you all on the Knight Bus this weekend during Community Day!

As a token of our appreciation for your patience, we will also be adding a complimentary store pack to Diagon Alley for all players sometime next week. We want to thank you for your support as our team works hard to resolve these bugs.

- The Harry Potter: Wizards Unite team"

Emphasis mine. I fear we won't be seeing those lovely, lovely potions I was counting on for today's Fortress event until next week... 😢 Fingers crossed this solves the problem and doesn't create new ones.

IS TAKING PLACE! Again, they've made adjustments to make it safer to play, but please, whatever else you do, first and foremost: stay safe. It's just a game. (And apropos of nothing, witches are no longer burnt at stakes, not even for heresy. 😉)

So! Part 1 of the Burrow Besieged Brilliant Event starts Tuesday, 7 April at 11am PST and runs through 14 April. Again, they've done a pretty good job of paring back Task requirements to make them reasonably playable in light of the Coronavirus and the advisability of Social Distancing. Here's your sneak peek to help you prepare for the tasks. (And as always, if this is too spoilery for you, just give it a pass.)

Here's hoping this helps you get ready for the event. And if you do nothing else, don’t forget to pick up your free TFTD ingredients and 25 Spell Energy. And don't forget to download your assets.

Stay safe and stay well. ❤️

You'll have probably seen the in game announcement, but as of now, they're making some changes to the game to make game play possible despite a fair few stuck in quarantine.

The following updates are now live in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, until further notice:

* Tonic for Trace Detection will reveal Traces more frequently; 30 Traces per Tonic
* Tonic for Trace Detection will have Master Notes effectiveness increased from 15% to 50% CORRECTION: The TFTD brewing time is reduced to half (without quaffing anything) whenever you apply Master Notes. So try not to queue them for the dead of night. 😉
* Ingredients will appear on the Map more frequently, especially those needed for Tonic for Trace Detection
* Traces will appear on the Map more frequently
* Spell Energy will appear on the Map
* A free store bundle will be available in the Diagon Alley shop featuring 4 Tonics for Trace Detection
* The amount of Gifts that can be opened each day will be increased from 10 to 20. This means those who are still mobile will be better able to help out those who aren't, but I'm assuming we can still only send one gift per person, so there are obvious limits there.

I'll keep you posted when they announce more. Stay well. Stay safe. ❤️

ETA: Oooo! They have also halved the distances on the Portkeys! Check your queue. They show up with have the kilometres now. 😃 (That Bonus assignment just got a lot more doable.)

ETA2: Or not. Meh. Lol. They seem to be having issues with that. I was seeing that lovely reduction in distance, and they just turned it off again. 😢 Word is they hope to have it up as of next week, so sadly after the Bonus. (I assume too many people were complaining about wasted silver keys for trying to complete the bonus...)
