If you're plannig to stop by somewhere with an inn sometime have as many detectors on it as you can to find some uncommon foundables.įortresses are another thing you'll really want to try to do with friends. These up the chance of finding difficult enemies you may encounter around this inn.įriends can also add their own detectors up to three, and the more you have the more effective they are. They are also useful for other things like.Įvery inn you visit you can place a Dark Detector. You can take down bigger enemies or carry or be carried by a mate too. Obviously playing with friends is always more fun but you'll get bonus exp for doing so. Professions are important when tackling Fortresses and it's a good idea to try to pick something that will work well with friends you want to play with - and on that note. It's much easier to level up one Profession than multiple. It is, however, a good idea to try to stick with one. This too can be changed so it's nothing to stress about. These are classes that give your characters strengths and weaknesses. Later, when you hit level 6 you will unlock Professions. You can be in Ravenclaw one day and downgrade to Gryffindor if you're feeling a little dumb on another. The good news is all of those choices are currently changeable. Things like what house you want to be in, what sort of wand you wield, and your title are immediately accessible to you. There are some choices you will have to make early in the game but the good news is none of them seem permanent.Īs soon as you start the game you can make add a bit of flair to your character by making some seemingly difficult choices. If you encounter something you don't need maybe save your energy to cast a spell on something you do. If you don't have many ways to get energy near you, use it wisely. ![]() |
