The original Harry Potter event has been completely rebuilt and remade almost from scratch and will now be able to stick around for good. Originally I'd taken over the castle in fel brit for the event, but it had to be torn down afterward so as not to interfere with the usual gameplay there. But now that we've got a map just for events, I was able to rebuild it all where it can stay permanently
Date & Time: March 21st at 7pm EDT / 23:00 shard time.
Gear: Provided (not optional)
Estimated length: 2.5 hours from initial gate open to rewards.
Important Information:
- Please gather on Moonglow bank roof at least 10mins prior to event start time if you plan to attend.
- The Monster Bash mini-quest will be available for this event, speak to Bertram the Hunter to accept this quest.
- The gate will be opened ~10 minutes prior to event start time and remain open for 10 minutes after start time. At 23:10 shard time, the gate will close and we will allow players to begin gearing up. If you are AFK in the waiting area at 23:10, and do not return by the time everyone else is sorted, you will be removed from the event.
- The gearing system is automated. It will provide you with your gear and a backpack of items and then move you into the main waiting area. Be patient, with many players in the area it can take a little while for the spawner to catch up.
- The gear for this event will be equalized. This means that it will force everyone's stats to the same level, so players who've used +50 stat scrolls will not have any advantage over anyone else.
- If we find you AFK during the fight portion of the event, you will be removed. The same goes for if you are hanging around not fighting or participating. It's OK if you're taking a moment to get resurrected and put your gear back on, but you must participate in the event if you want a reward.
- Hogwarts is being blockaded by Voldemort's Death Eaters in various places. You'll have to kill every mob on each level before the barriers will drop.
- Every level has mini-bosses, which are Voldemort's lieutenants and are more challenging than the trash mobs.
- The reward bags for this event aren't all the same. All bags will contain the same "primary rewards", however the bag of wizard's treats has 2 different styles. There are 9 items in each treat bag that are the same across all bags of every type, however the remaining 8 items are different between the 2 types of bag. You will need to trade with your fellow players to obtain a full set.
- This event features a new, very special item in its reward bags. I will provide absolutely zero further information regarding this item. This item will lead you on a tiny little adventure and you will need to figure it out on your own. Once you do, please don't blab to others. Let them have the adventure themselves. If they're too lazy to go on a little adventure, they don't really want or deserve that item.
