Greetings, witches and wizards!

After a lot of hard work, we are very excited to announce that the Scenery Viewer has returned and is better than ever with major improvements and upgrades!

To access the Scenery Viewer, speak to Mary Weaselby in the Miscellaneous Shop at the far end of the In-Game Store. She will open a GUI for you with a selection of every housing scenery we have on the server for you to visit and explore!

At each housing scenery is a House Elf that you can speak to in order to return to the In-Game Store, visit another housing scenery or a brand new feature - change the time of the scenery that you're at! There are a few preset options to change the time but we have also added the ability to change your time in increments of 30 minutes. Please note that when you change the time, it will only change for you. Additionally, we have also added a spell to the Store Wand that does the same thing as the House Elf so that you can access these features from anywhere on the housing scenery you are visiting.

We hope you enjoy the return of the Scenery Viewer and these new features!

Heya everyone!

The Media department is excited to announce that we are opening the WizNetworker applications to everyone for the first time in WizNetworker history! WizNetworkers are responsible for managing the server's social media platforms and organizing community giveaways & competitions. We also plan scheduled posts and contribute to the creation of the monthly WizNewsletter.

Applications will remain open until October 4th. Remember to take your time when you fill in the application and make sure you are able to meet all the requirements before submitting your application. You can find the requirements at the beginning of the application. Please contact the Lead WizNetworker (kala#5755) or Head of Media (sunnya#6761) if you have any questions or concerns!

You can click here to view the application and see more details. Good luck to all of those who apply!

Hey! Today we bring you a long awaited gameplay updated for experience and leveling up! This post will go over all of the changes made during this experience rework. We hope all of you young witches and wizards enjoy this update, and have an easier time leveling up throughout your school years at Hogsworth!

Quests, Mobs, & Academic Credits
We have made some reworks to the experience given from quests, mobs, and ACs (Academic Credits)!

We noticed that ACs were giving insane amounts of experience for people at lower levels, so we have reworked the amount of experience Academic Credits give to a reasonable amount, scaled according to your level. This rework should hopefully make it so the amount of experience AC gives doesn't feel out of place, and is balanced with the other experience changes.

Experience rewards for quests have received a buff! Quests will now reward you with around 2-3x as much experience in comparison to the previous reward amounts. If you haven't noticed, these quest reward changes have been in-game for a little over a week; We just didn't make an announcement about it until everything else was ready.

Mobs will also give you more experience than what they have given previously. Killing a mob will now reward you with around 1.25x as much experience in comparison to what they were in the past.

Daily Activities
Daily Activities now give rewards tailored according to your level and the difficulty of the task, which is a huge win! We have also lowered the level requirement to level 10 for the minigames daily activities. We hope that these changes give you some more options to earn experience at lower levels, along with more viable rewards for your current level.

Our Head of Systems...
