Tips to Remember

In order to get ahead of the event, here are some tips to help you:

  • The first set of tasks is easy and can be completed quickly. It gets harder, however. For starters, you may need to save on 2k Portmanteaus especially for the second set of tasks. Once you do that, the rest of the tasks can be finished fast.
  • You also need to keep a good amount of potions and ingredients. One of the tasks has you brew eight potions. Unless you have enough gold, you need to have enough ingredients to brew the potions.
  • You probably don't need to worry about using potions since you can use them when fighting Dark Wizards.
  • In the third set of tasks, you need to be able to return High Threat Foundables. If you're having problems with these, just go to the nearest Inn and use Dark Detectors.
  • If you're looking for specific Family Foundables or even Brilliant Foundables, don't stay in an area that has a Family Flag. Go to an area where there are no flags so that the Traces are more diverse.

This new event begins July 30 and ends August 6.
