To help along this magical tour of the event is Lauren, Lead Magiventoologist, who will be sharing some details about the event. With our wonderful tour guide and an event to explore, let’s get started!
The first question about this event is the theme and location. Where exactly are we going for our spring adventure, and what will it look like? Wonder no longer: this spring, we will be exploring the Fairy Grove! As Lauren described:
This spring, Hogsworth students will be shrunken down into the Fairy Grove, where the wizarding world's magical fairies are preparing for the changing of the seasons.
It seems we will experience first-hand the transition from winter to spring, a very timely and fascinating concept to explore. Treading new ground certainly leaves options for new and inventive gameplay. Will we perhaps discover our own fairy abilities along the way? Will we see any special fairy magic in action?As for the build, what do you imagine when you think of a hidden fairy grove? Perhaps you think of mushroom houses or a cluster of tiny hovels hidden in the roots of trees. Thinking of these potentially tiny and creative builds only excites me for the future. I can’t wait to explore what the Build team has in store for us!
Having an interesting theme and a fantastical build is only one piece of the event puzzle. It is not truly a Potterworld event without the many creative NPCs and quests. Will we interact with any of the fairies? Are there any NPCs we should look out for? Lauren has just the right answer:
Players will meet several of the fairies that inhabit the Fairy Grove. Keep an eye out for Fairy Kevin's seasonal attire!
It is good to know that Kevin will be making his usual appearance! All eyes will be on the characters we will meet in the near future, as well as Kevin’s fashionable return.As for quests and repeatable content, thanks to Lauren, we know that players will be helping various fairies with the transition of the season. There is certainly plenty to wonder about. Will there be daily tasks? Will the main quests be about something different from last year? Who knows! What we do know is that the quests will be full of content, an exciting prospect for any player.
This brings us to another well-loved feature of any event: collectables What kind of collectables will we see? Lauren gave us a little hint:
As this is a mini-event, there won't be too many new collectables. However, once springtime comes…
Spoilers! However, I did hear something about ladybugs…Finally, there is the question of how we will interact with the event. In the most recent Valentine's Event, players collected Drachma to earn points for their House and win over the temples’ god. Will there be something like that in this mini-event? Lauren described something similar:
In order for spring time to come, [players] must collectively gather "motes," which are bits of magic that will be used to change the seasons. Completing side quests will reward these motes, and once every talent has collected enough, the ladybugs will come out of hibernation!
One of my favorite features of the Winter Waltz and Valentine’s events was being able to impact the event directly (with an added bonus of competing with other Houses); knowing a similar feature will be returning is very exciting! And what is this talent Lauren referred to?The Spring Event seems to me to be a lovely mix of magic and spring vibes, a perfect combination for the turning of the season. From interesting NPCs to a compelling new concept, players are sure to have a great time exploring what this mini-event has to offer. Be sure to play the event when it releases soon, and have a great spring!
