One thing I would like to be able to do is to interact with furniture, like sit down in the chairs. It's a small thing, but that would make it feel more like a POH.
@Sechrima 3 reasons: Cost, Time and Difficulty. Done well (Like here and in Elder Scrolls games) it comes across as seamless and easy. It's not though, there is a reason all games like this are drowning in bugs. Not to mention the financial cost and amount of time it takes to build a world like this. I so love it when they do though.
@@Draidis in this case as the animation itself already exists in game as we can see NPCs sitting for example. It would require some work but this means there’s for an animation that devs can access via an animation console/command. So hopefully we can see that implemented in a future patch or mod!
@FinesseArchon Indeed! I'm still very confident it will come in an expansion but if it doesn't, there is no way moders don't put it into the game. I've also heard that a sequel has already been approved. So, worst case, all else fails. There is always the future sequel, and thats an obvious content addition... but I really don't think it will take that long.
As someone who loves exploring, I never had issues with money, ingredients, and materials. Lots of chests to open, gears to sell, and moonstones galore. I reached level 33, and haven't even done Sebastian's quest to visit his sister in Feldcroft(I have it on my quest list lol). I just unlocked my vivarium and just learnt to catch(I mean save) creatures. There's so much to see and do in this game. I can't imagine already reaching endgame 😅
Can you expand/improve the Vivarium before Sebastian's quest? At the moment I can only keep, I think its four different species in my Vivarium. I'm level 26 myself... I spend too much time exploring and collecting Demiguise statues. 😂
@@Outland9000 I don't think expanding the vivarium is dependent upon Sebastian's questline. You can expand the vivarium 3 times, but they give you new areas, not increasing over 4 types of species.
lol Allistair I thought I was the only one tho u beat me I think my character is lvl 29 and I'm finally on Sebastian's quest :) but yeah the money everywhere all the clothes they give us to sell, I can't stop myself from doing any side activity nearby on my way to the main quests.
@@Outland9000 There ya go, keep going. The final unlock area is soooooo coool. I mean they are all cool but the they saved the best for last on that one for sure.
they should really default the transfiguration spells and the beast related spells when you visit the room of requirement. such a pain to reset the combo every time
You can use your skill points to acquire up to 4 spell sets! I have one spell set dedicated to beasts, one spell set dedicated to the transfiguration spells, one spell set for combat, and a basic spell set with Lumos, Wingardium Leviosa, Levioso, and Accio
@@hohoho951 I find that my combat spell set is really the only one I need to frequently edit when I have my beast, transfiguration, and basic ones set in place 🤷
A few things I've learned: The largest of each of the potting stations (5 small pots, 3 medium, 2 large) actually take up a considerably smaller volume in the space than the medium ones do, so skipping the mediums is totally legit 1. Unicorns and Thestrals don't seem to get along, try to keep them in separate vivariums 2. Hippogriffs scare Nifflers - they don't actively antagonize them, but the Nifflers will often run away from the Hippogriffs when they squawk and flap their wings 3. Kneazles seem to be super chill, and don't give a shit about any other beast type 4. I tried the dung composters, but they only increase the yield by 1 (i.e. 5 becomes 6). I didn't try any further than that, so I don't know if you can stack multiple fertilizers in one pot? I ended up just binning them, as the normal yield is plenty, unless you're on Bastard mode (which I've not tried yet) 5. Further to the point above, I found the cutting stations to be better value than fertilizer, but their output is random, like the hopping pot 6. Not related to ROR, but the lock mini game - the unlock positions almost always line up with the markers on the inner and outer rings on the mechanism (hopefully you'll understand what I mean when you look at the locks in game), so you can cut out a huge amount of twiddling just by going straight to the markers EDIT: Forgot to mention, the breeding beasts challenge doesn't actually require you to breed every single type of beast: I've yet to capture a Graphorn, and only have a female Unicorn, but have completed the challenge - it only requires 10 of the 12 breedable beasts to do (since there's only 1 phoenix and you can't breed it). Double edit: Actually, that's a point - If there's only one phoenix, and it's in your Vivarium, how are other merchants supplying it?!?
I didn't know about the unicorn/thestral and hippogriff/nifflers relationships! Thanks for your help, and I totally agree with the composters, definitely not worth it imo
Extra section opens up: "Neat! let me just decorate it and put it full of planters and potion stations!" few quests later the room is fully decorated, I go in to pick up my potions and plants as usual when suddenly a whole new section opens up behind it. Making the room larger but also breaking up the infrastructure I created and removing half of my wall decorations. >:-(
haha yes that is exactly what happened to me! I decided my room needed a thorough redecoration, cleaned it entirely, spent ages to make it look awesome... and then SWOOOSH the room got its final upgrade and I have to do it all over again!
Agreed. I just wish it worked before you got there. Not to be super lazy, but once you add the feeder to the vivarium, the animals should always be fed by default. So when you walk into the vivarium, you should only need to brush them.
@@cainemarko5021Agreed. Would have been nice if the toy box served a practical function as well, perhaps reducing the time to harvest items since the beasts were happier maybe.
Great guide! I just wish we could have more than 12 animals per vivarium, there's so many different colours in some magical beasts that is difficult to choose which ones to keep .
I hear you there - the Vivariums are a fun system, but the team could have expanded them even more. Maybe something for a future content update? We'll see...
Important note about chopping stations and hopping pots: you need to have the seeds for chopping stations to produce the ingredients and the recipe for the hopping pots to produce a potion. They produce at random but from your characters known resources, i.e. you need to have purchased mallow sweet seeds to receive mallow sweet leaves from the chopping stations, still at random from your assets.
@@angelo423 that was not my experience, I didn't have enough to buy the recipe for thunderbrew after buying the spell craft for the hopping pot, I had the pot's hopping for must've been 10 brews and they only ever gave me potions of the recipes i'd bought. When I finally bought the recipe for thunderbrew it started showing up in my pots. Maybe I just had bad luck.
@@50calBeowulf "Barluck," the notion of bad luck, is a figment of imagination invented to find excuses for unfortunate events. No supernatural force influences our lives in such a way. It's simply a way for people to shift blame and avoid personal accountability for life's natural ups and downs.
@@tubelious Must be a bug fix they introduced when they fixed some other things. Like I notice they removed the ability to fast travel to the ROR directly. There's a floo flame in the door, but you can't use it. It used to crash my game when I'd try to fast travel there, so apparently they simply removed it from the map. Or maybe it's not on the map?
Actually got the hopping pots first and I barely ever had to make potions and got by with the 3 small potions stations and 3 hopping pots for a long time while getting the best of the other spellcrafts (2 Large Pots) and recipes/seeds first. Potions brew so fast you don't really need the T shaped station. So I only ended up using the T one for decoration late game as I was nearly always maxed out on potions. Farming money early is literally all about finding and selling gear before you run out of inventory space and is extremely easy to do since you can pretty much explore 2/3 of the world map basically right away. Pretty much had all my most expensive stuff out of the way before even getting alohamora which gives you easy access to an absurd amount of gear to sell.
I just wanted to say they made the hogwarts castle in this game look so incredible lol . i was just walking around checking everything out for like 2 hours haha. So cool
This is definitely and Explorer's game. Especially since you ONLY level up mostly through exploring...Sure there are a few combat achievements that give some XP, but it's not a Grinder's game. What I'd like to see is them making an MMO version, using the same world. let everyone have their own version of the ROR, and have them start as first years, learning spells more slowly (Seriously, your character in this game is so OP learning spells they'd give Hermoine Bloody Granger an inferiority complex...)
With a few years of major gaming let downs..... This game is a breath of fresh air. It is atmospheric, magical, exciting, cosy, gorgeous and more importantly..... FINISHED lol. So many games have released in such a bad state that are not anywhere near as good as this, even when they've been patched. I will say that i am impressed with the revival and work put in too make Cyberpunk the game it is today, compared too launch. But playing this on the Series X, i can't fault a single thing so far from launch day till now. Please game Dev's, take note of the time, love, care and attention that went into every aspect of this near perfect game. Great video and some handy tips.
This game unlocked a feeling for me that I didn’t know was still possible today from games. Gives me hope for these upcoming next gen titles. I think we will look back on Hogwarts Legacy with tons of nostalgia in the future.
Best potting setup 2 large pot station-2 nos (3 venamous tentacula+1 flux seed) 3 medium pot station-2nos (3 shrivelfig + 3 chinese chomping cabbage) 5 small pot station- 3nos(5 dittany+5 mandrake+2 mallosweet+3 knot grass)
I just wish I could at least sit in just 1 piece of furniture in the game, like even a chair in the common room. But it would be cool if you and friends could explore each other's rooms. Also PLEASE allow your mythical creatures to walk w you and even help fight in certain situations. Such a good game though.
I think the devs expect streamers to show off their designs and rooms to everyone. But everyone else who doesn't stream? We want to show it off somehow. I went all out on my designs lol but only my girlfriend gets to see when we take turns playing. There are a lot of missed opportunities in this game. Among those, being able to play MMO style with other people. Maybe one day we'll get a game like that.
@@keir0830no thanks! GMOs alter organisms, while MMOs secretly modify players' DNA through nanobots, granting virtual superpowers. Stay alert in the game world!
I have to say, I love the concept and the functionality of the Room of Requirement. Both decoration options and gameplay options are brilliant. That said, it all has one flaw to me. And that is that while every potion and plant in this crafting system is useful, it's not used much. I'm one who loves to play in a way that I prepare for every eventuality and likes to use potions and on use items that give me the edge in combat. But with like one exception, I never really had to use any of it. Except for the healing potion, all other potions and plants just collected dust in my inventory. And that's because the game isn't really hard. Not even on hard mode. I barely ever died, and when I actually did die, I almost never needed more than another try to beat the boss. Me dying was mainly caused by not really trying too hard and just casually whiping the floor with the NPCs on screen. The hard mode in this game barely holds a candle to the easiest levels in Souls Games. And when I can easily manage anything the game throws at me first or (in some cases), second try anyway, using consumables feels like a waste, and not a helpful tool. Once you start approaching the higher levels, upgrade your gear a bit, and get the unforgivable curses, you walk like a god amongst men anyway. When I start a fight on my level 40 character, it feels like cheating because every enemy just melts, and I (if I ever get hit by anything) barely take any damage on Hard mode. What's the point of using potions then?
Yeah I have done my entire playthrough so far with only using wiggenweld. The only time I used other potions/items are for the quests that required it. They are neat but by no means necessary.
same, I did the whole game with nothing but wiggenweld, and I never even thought of using other potions or plants bc combat is pretty easy once you get damage spells
I hit level 18 right as I finished the quest to unlock talents, and right after went and got my room of requirements. I didn’t spend any money until that point and just sold my stuff that I didn’t need. Ended up saving a bunch and being able to afford the T shape planting station and Double large pot brewing station. It’s been really nice to have so many things running at once. I’d really recommend saving up early on so when you unlock the room of requirements you can spend the 3k on each of those big stations.
Wish we could interact with the beasts, similarly to how we can interact with the cats in the game. I hope they add this or use it in the future. I also second the idea of being able to interact with furniture, and just sit down. Especially in the commonroom and great hall :)
@@Electrobix99 Yes, this is a fun addition in the game. But I still would suggest adding an interact feature with the beasts that involved a pat or scratch to simulate affection 😊 How many times did we accidently stun our beasts, they deserve a little caress after 😇
It would’ve been super cool if the room expanded fully before the end of the game. Now I have this awesome room that I don’t really even need to go into.
For anyone wondering, I kind of went the opposite route and I got the hopping pots first, before I bought any other potion or potting plans. With three hopping pots going while I hung out in the room of requirement, and coming home to three random potions every time I had to come in to identify or upgrade gear or check on a vivarium, I always had all the potions I needed. I ended up adding two medium three pot potting stations for combat plants. I find that the Mandrake and the cabbages are the best and don't bother with the large potting table for the big one I forgot the name of right now. I think this saved me a lot of money in the long run , But the 3000 galleon spend early on did mean that I had to wait a little longer for a few other things. I also have been playing on normal difficulty and I don't use a million potions per fight. Just a few. One more tip on that - If you get the full amount of one of the potions and cannot collect that potion from the pot, just drink one and collect the potion so that it can make the next random potion.
Invisibility potion is used in combat as a defensive spell. Even without anything in stealth when you chug that potion enemies won't target you. So you got four seconds of full spell casting without return fire. Buy the ehancement talent and it's even longer.
These are great tips! The first thing I bought was the hopping station and large potting table (even before the broom). They were game-changers! I also kept the more used animal items (puffskein, etc) on the main floor, with the loom next to the vivarium) for ease of access, shaved off a few minutes here and there. Unrelated, threstrals with the Zoomies is pure joy.
I always buy the Material Refiner blueprint in my first batch of purchases and put them down first for this reason. I also ONLY buy the largest versions of each potting station, even if I have to put it off a bit longer, as anything else is a waste of money and space.
3:04 I got the same set up besides that my potion station at the bottom of the screen is put where the green hopper is facing diagonally towards the top right potion station and my seventh is where the blue hopper is facing the top left station while having a gap in the middle to obviously walked to the other potion station. (I got one station for each of the 6 potion I could craft pre-crafted when I need to restock , the seventh is where I would put for a respec potion, If I HAD IT, so for now I only use it for potions I used constantly, which is none) and my hoppers is on the other side of the room put close together on the middle wall while having the fertilizer pot on diagonally facing wall, and across both vertical walls are the mining station on one side and the chopping board on the other so that I can have my free gathering stuff in the same place. and I got the bigger room so my herbs station is 3 big 2 pot slots station across the middle wall, 1 medium 3 pot slots across the diagonal wall that would connect to the stone walls on both sides (close to the big pots) (and in the middle of the wood floor) 2 small 5 pot slots in front of the big pot stations (going vertically) across and have a space for a vertical chopping board in the middle of the 2 small 5 pot station
The best way to get all this stuff early is to unlock the eye chests watch a video and get all of them in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade right after you get the Disillusionment spell and you’ll be able to get all of these very early in the game
As soon as you get the invisibility spell just run around hogsmeade and collect the eyeball chests and you'll have enough money to buy all the important stuff there.
I usually farm eye-chests and then buy what I need. I tend to skip things I don't use often, such as venomous tentacula, invisibility potion or magic beast things. As for the rest, I usually put the refiner after buying maxima, focus and thunderbrew potions, because it will take that long to unlock the room of requirement, but the potions class is available in the first two hours of game, I also favorize Chinese cabbages over mandrakes, but I never buy a plant seed for a table I don't have, and I always buy the tables with the highest number of pots, hopping pots come last, mostly because I don't use potions often.
Been playing for 3 days at level 35. 86 percent completed. Maybe I would use more potions and stuff on hard mode idk but I had no problem being maxed out on potions and plants and other stuff. Noticed right away that if you didn't have the potion recipes the hopping pots only made what you knew; at least it did for me. Didnt get invisibility until after I purchased the recipe. Since the start I maxed out inventory on wiggenweld potions and never had to brew again hopping pots help out alot for me and you find quite a few of them In the world that I never lose to much stock in them. I straight out bought the largest of everything one of each and I'm doing pretty good. 5 small pots, 3 mediums and 2 large potting tables. Biggest pain to me is caring for the animals. 3 of each species is quite abit to go through. Would be cool if you had like an assistant that would care for them instead and could just collect the inventory. Even if the times would be increased I wouldn't mind at least I wouldn't have to check on them so much.
Id really like to stack items, interact w/them. Move things closer overlap when it makes sense, esp in the Animal sanctuaries. Why i cant put stairs on an actual structure? Or gate closer to the house? Id like the animals to interact w/conjured objects. Fwooper should be in the trees
This is the first video I’ve watched in this channel. With how detailed (breakdown of your costs) this video, I can see why your character’s Ravenclaw.
Couple things I've figured out. #1 the hopping pots only produce potions you have the recipes for. Also just discovered on the Merlin Trial you have to do the jumping from stone to stone you can get on your broom and just touch each one. Handy if you suck at jumping like me :p. Oh I'm on PS5. :)
@@Mr.Jerry13 Assuming I am thinking of the right one. You need to flip the top stone to match the symbol on the bottom. Just need to do that to 2 sides. I use the right mouse to target the face of the cube I wish to flip.
I found out later on I needed to grow the mallowsweet bush. And stock up if you want to complete all Merlin trials! Also another tip is to sell unidentified gear. You get 200 coin each and you can always buy and upgrade. Most of the stuff you’ll discover is less than what you have equipped on
You missed the best part about breeding beasts in the vivarium... That you can sell all of the little offspring that you get at the beasts shop in Hogsmede for 150g each. I'm sitting over 30k gold right now, and that's with straight up buying gear from the vendor if I don't have that pattern unlocked for transmog.
By the time you can breed beasts, you should be swimming in Galleons like Scrooge McDuck. There's nothing to really spend your money on by this time, either. If you could get buffing candies and joke items from Honeydukes and Zonkos to add to your tab wheel, then money might have some use, but everyone is stinking rich by the endgame unless they don't use the ROR and go around buying potions and combat plants.
I completeley outfitted that Room - to realize, I do not need it anyway aside the Loom beeing in there for Upgrading once of Twice as I was already 38 and entirely OP when unlocking it. It is a Game made for Kids, not Dark Souls Players - but still, it is a lot of fun - totally recommend.
Something I think people forget is you can harvest plants in the herbology classroom as well, that alone will provide your venomous tentacula stores until you can get the room of requirement setup to your liking.
Don’t bother with the large pots unless you want the ingredients that only grow in large pots, since once you do the hidden herbology corridor quest you’ll have access to half your max capacity of venomous tentacula every 3 in game days from the greenhouse you come out in.
@@SirMike02 I should have specified this tip is for earlier game when you’re typically short on money, and probably have assignments to do for prof. Garlick to take you there anyway. From memory this video covers tips on what’s worth buying early game, and I think the biggest large potting table spellcraft is about 3000, and 1050 for tentacula seeds
Definitely agree, my first playthrough I ended up needing to buy the potions to complete the quests for Sharp to learn his spells. But, later playthroughs, I was able to make them myself saving me some cash to buy spellcrafts later.
Don't ignore the plants and potions. The L1 can turn a fight or potential loss into victory. For those that have the PS5 Exclusive Felix Felisis potion: Don't ignore it. One item needed to craft it is rare unless you get the seeds from a vendor in Hogsmeade. Get is asap. Aside from the starting plant and potion stations, save up for the best. 3 Tier/3 pot/cauldron tables and the former with large pots. The Chopping tables are a good investment as well as the Fertilizer. Sadly you can NOT sell plants or potions but these alt items are all useful. Get the first Vivarium asap. Shiny creatures have ZERO benefit over the rest. A lot of Duelist Requirements for more XP require use of plants and potions as do some side quests which net more spells.
Also a quick tip i learned . if you are trying to place something in the ror and dont want it to click into place you can hold down the left trigger to free place it .
Also using revelo on broom uncovers a HUGE area compared to on foot. Also fly on broom by all fast travel points. 99% of them you just fly close by them to unlock and carry on without getting off, esp helpful if near enemies. Some are in little houses all with a diff npc in with small little quest that doesn’t ever show on map. Won’t say anymore. But yeah, fly to all fast travel points to get them all, makes life easier, but even though I’ve done that a lot of the time I enjoy flying and exploring so it doesn’t take that aspect away. Just convenient to have them when you want to use them.
2, 5 slot small planters 2, 3 slot medium planters and 2, 2 slot large planters will provide you everything you will ever need plant wise. I usually have enough moonstones (from a small time spent gathering and getting the ones I see running around) to get all of these when the room opens up.
Quickest way to get moonstones; Buy the material refiner spell craft Go back to the room of requirements. Sell all the things (mirrors, tables, paintings, etc) which was given by the room self. Place the 3 material refiners and every and you can get every 10 minutes 30 moonstones
If you spend even a little time outside the castle, money and moonstone really aren't an issue. The moonstone tables are nice to have but even just with one, I found myself constantly maxed out at 999 moonstone, from really early on. I'd also avoid the smaller planters altogether. Early in the game, just after opening the Room of Requirement, is probably the only time when money may be a little tight. That being said, you only really need the 2 station, large potting table and 3 station, medium potting table blueprints. Unless you're constantly using fighting plants, one of each of these is easily enough. You can grow small plants in both. There are only 8 plants available and you quickly have enough Mallowsweet for every Merlin Trial in the game, which makes growing any more pointless. That leaves 7 plants and 7 stations and you quickly build up enough plant ingredients. Also, if you never use certain potions, growing their ingredients becomes as redundant as growing excess Mallowsweet. If you DO constantly use potions and fighting plants, just add another one of the tables, up to a total of 3 of each. You only pay cash for the original blueprint, not for the tables themselves. They only require a small amount of moonstone and a shortage of moonstone is never really an issue. Bear in mind that you can only have a maximum of 12 of each potion and 12 of each of the three fighting plants on you. Basically, once you Have the large versions of the medium and large potting tables and a potion station, you quickly reach the point where potion ingredients and potions themselves are not a problem. The hopping pot blueprint is nice, as you get 3 free potions every 12 minutes or so, if you collect them. They become redundant pretty quickly though, as potion ingredients almost immediately become not an issue and it's much quicker just to brew them. Also if a potion slot is maxed out at 12 potions and your hopping pot produces that potion, you can't remove that potion, which means you can't use that pot. You have to laboriously delete the pot and conjure a new one. tl/dr The only essential purchases are a large potion station blueprint and blueprints for the largest versions of the medium and large potting tables, as well as all the seed blueprints. You'll very quickly accumulate more than enough of everything with this setup. If you use fighting plants all the time, then the fertiliser machine blueprint is a must too. Everything else is optional and only really needed to complete collections. The chopping tables, in particular, are essentially pointless.
So I’ve been trying to find suggestions on what stations to purchase and which to leave alone (for the time being). Thank you for your guide as it helped me streamline my RoR and do away with the superfluous and expensive “unnecessaries”. While I know that the room opens up a lot after completing certain quests, space right now is at a premium, so having these suggestions helped me save that precious space, galleons and time overall. Will be looking into your other guides; and, if they’re anywhere near as helpful as this one, then I’m sure that my initial deep dive into this wonderful wizarding world will be absolutely amazing. Anyways, cheers!! Liked and sub’d!
1 or 2 potting stations?.. you can throw down 7 of the same station. A fertilizer doubles the output of the singular plants though. Double mandrake, double venomous tantacular
Lol I haven't decorated 🤣anything. Not fun to me when we can't interact with our furniture 😩. I explored like a crazy person and only finished quest that would get me all the Vivarium rooms and picked up loads galleons to buy triple potion and herbalogy tables. I don't need the Hopping pot table since I have 100+ of ingredients to make my own potions...would be a waste not to make my own potions after all my gathering
New to this game so only just this, but I'm surprised you found the hopping pot to be useful. I found it to be my least favorite item, as it inevitably produces something I don't use and/or am always maxed out on (invisibility and healing potions). I also would have recommended the 5-pot medium station asap then the 2-pot large potting stations before the refiner or composter. Also worth mentioning you can also buy phoenix feathers from the vendor in Pitt-Upon-Ford in the North Ford Bog. Good tips! The RoR is such a fun piece of this game.
It wasn't until my third character that I found 2 chests and a sack to search BEFORE you meet up with Deek. Ticked me off to figure it out so late, but thanks for the tip on the chests in the Vivariums!
Maybe its just me but I rarely use potions and I am capped out, have hundreds of mats, tons of items from pets, and over 60k money. Frankly its way too easy to get potions and mats and money especially in single player. And I'm level 36 and haven't even finished end game or explored all of the map. Just sell your unused armor and you will have more money than you can count.
Great video! My room expanded a few times and i thought, ok this is it, i'll start decorating now. When i finished decorating, it expanded again arggghhh. 😂 so i had to start again. But yes, one of the finnest home of the character experiences. But i have to say i miss the ability of decoration the room in the house dorm, that would also be cool.
Very useful advice here, setting up the RoR properly will give you infinite potions and plants. Chugging all 4 potions at the same time (along with their respective talent upgrades) will make even boss fights a cake walk
You can break down all of the stuff that the room adds to get back the moonstone used to create it. Every expansion the room does includes some decor that can be broken down.
1 thing i wished was diffrent in the Hard mode is the amount of Wiggenweld potions u could carry or removing the auto generating HP after a battle. U can carry 25 Wiggenweld potions and imo that is way to many especially for hardmode. U already have the hp regen from picking up the ancient magic orbs that generate with each 10hit combo u get so there are already ways to regain hp and all the other potions and plants have a max limit of 12 u can carry. For normal mode its okey, but in hardmode there should not be this many ways to regain hp. I have started to ignore the auto regain after battle by instantly using a Wiggenweld potion instead to try and avoid it. If u have an auto hp regain system after a battle u should not be able to stack that many Wiggenweld potions. I also think they went wrong in what ends up as the players primary way to earn galleons in the game. Any players main way to earn galleons is gonna be to sell gear and imo u get way to mutch for selling gear compared to selling beasts. Selling a Mooncalf or a Fwooper for 120g maybe abit to mutch but sure i can se that, but a Unicorn or a Hippogriff for 120g not a chans, a Unicorn horn alone cost 700 from vendors. There should have been a mutch more focus on earning galleons from selling diffrent rarity beasts instead of gear so the breeding pens would serve any good use. Unless something new opens up late game i have bought almost everything except for some diffrent brooms and i still have 10k galleons and i havent even unlocked the 2nd trial yet. The amount of galleons u get from selling gear is just way to high especially when considering how mutch gear u get. U get so many galleons that u dont even need to rescue beasts in the first place and if u dont limit yourself from buying resources from merchants the whole beasts section of the game becomes irrelevant.
Actually I want the game to expand beyond Hogwarts. I want to explore the ministry of magic, the lake and all its magical creatures such as mermaids ,St Mungo Hospital, secret hidden wizard locations within the muggle world such as Diagon Alley and rules about integrating with them , magic bus transportation, learning how to apparate instead of having to use the floo floo powder since poachers, goblins, evil wizards do have that ability which is unfair for any player who had to face that old evil witch Cassondra if you’re a Hogsmeade’s shop owner.
I went total stealth, but it does require a lot of troll killing and the three hopping pots, but they do make it make it so some fights can not be stealth, some mandatory fights can be cheese stealth by walking away then coming back as stealth. However if you pop every potion and throw down some Venomous Tentacula, even the toughest bosses go down pretty easily.
Hogwarts the school should be an online lobby to interact with other witches and wizards, maybe let us play some v.s. arcade games if dueling is too difficult to develop, kind of what cod did with the wwII game. 😅
I have now more combat plants than, I have to continually the ones I have and I'm always maxed out! It's great. I need to improve my potion production though
My first upgrade was to unlock the 5 small plant station. I almost never remember the combat plants, so I just focused on healing. I try to keep 20 potions on hand, just in case I stumble on a particularly hard enemy.
Can you plant more than one type of plant per pot? I planted some dittany seeds, when i press x to collect it automaticall plants another. Id like to just collect it and plant something elsw but it doesnt give the opportunity. Is that pot forever for dittany seeds now?
Thank you so much! There is so much in the game to take in and I’ve done more exploring than anything else. I had no idea you could do any of this and I’ve had this game for about a month 🤣
Nice video! I would argue: get the T shaped Potions table, then the Chopping Stations and Hopping Pots asap. Once you have those, save to get the 2/3-pot tables of different sizes. In my experience, exploration+Chopping Stations get you enough herbs by far, then Hopping Pots are just constant free potions. Therefore the earlier the better! I barely had to brew potions and harvest herbs with those two. And I agree with other comments: I love experimenting with potions and combat plants, but they’re not really necessary, which is a shame. I end up having way too many, and I cannot even pick up what I potted. Dung composters and material refiners are nice additions, but definitely optional ones. By the time I started using fertilisers, I was already around the max per combat plant, so not really necessary either.
Yall using potions and stuff? I only used them for the quests that I needed to. Other than that I have too much fun rolling around and using all the different spells. I get such dark souls but Disney
Going to do a second run of the game on a much harder difficulty. Outside of combat challenges I dont think I ever used a potion or plant on my first play through.
MY POV. Get the hopping pots first. Why? This single investment will make getting your spells much easier. Also free potions. You need to know the potion recipe in-order to have the hopping pot brew it so that is your next investment. Then I normally go for the material refiner so that I have enough moonstone. /shrug I can easily see skipping that. After that I go for the 3 pot medium station since I can plant both medium and smalls in it. When I am about ready to do the large combat plants is when I am getting the 2 large pot station, and those plants. Doing that basic method I found the cost to be much more bearable. Yes I know about the eye chests, I loot like 99% of them in hogsmead, I am just too lazy to get all of them in the castle. Also I tend to do a lot of exploring so I see lots of chests with gear I sell off regularly. Anyways this is my priority on them, and on my 3rd playthrough to get to 40. /shrug You might find different priorities based on your own personal playstyle.
Wow, this video is helpful. I am a little more interested in that Ravenclaw robe that lights up every time you use magic. How did you get that? Or is there a video that tells us how. I’ve only just now found your videos.
Dude if I'm honest i didn't use a single talent point for the chamber, nor have i had the need to brew any potion... I only played with spells during the fights and i gathered material and plants randomly while exploring and it was more than enough 🥲 Never had to farm moonstones etc, i only bought all the stations because I wanted to unlock them in my inventory but that's about it haha The only thing worth farming is the mellowsweet for the merlin's trials.... and the beasts. But you don't have to try too hard honestly, regular visits gets you plenty of material ;;
I wish when your other three characters aren’t in use, you can see them wondering around your ROR and interacting with each other. Just to give your room some more life and a reason to hang out in there for no reason other than customizing.
I can understand why they didn't do that. I like to think of it as your Private Tree House/Private Retreat/ Private Tower. Also I think he/she would have to go there and open it for them then go out and do what he/she wants to do. Like He/She is the owner of that ROR not them
One thing I would like to be able to do is to interact with furniture, like sit down in the chairs. It's a small thing, but that would make it feel more like a POH.
Elder Scrolls games really nail this aspect of immersion in open world games. I don't know why more developers don't include things like this.
@Sechrima 3 reasons: Cost, Time and Difficulty. Done well (Like here and in Elder Scrolls games) it comes across as seamless and easy. It's not though, there is a reason all games like this are drowning in bugs. Not to mention the financial cost and amount of time it takes to build a world like this. I so love it when they do though.
@@Draidis in this case as the animation itself already exists in game as we can see NPCs sitting for example. It would require some work but this means there’s for an animation that devs can access via an animation console/command. So hopefully we can see that implemented in a future patch or mod!
@FinesseArchon Indeed! I'm still very confident it will come in an expansion but if it doesn't, there is no way moders don't put it into the game. I've also heard that a sequel has already been approved. So, worst case, all else fails. There is always the future sequel, and thats an obvious content addition... but I really don't think it will take that long.
I just want to sit in the great hall and eat a chicken drumstick. It's the small things.
As someone who loves exploring, I never had issues with money, ingredients, and materials. Lots of chests to open, gears to sell, and moonstones galore. I reached level 33, and haven't even done Sebastian's quest to visit his sister in Feldcroft(I have it on my quest list lol). I just unlocked my vivarium and just learnt to catch(I mean save) creatures. There's so much to see and do in this game. I can't imagine already reaching endgame 😅
Can you expand/improve the Vivarium before Sebastian's quest? At the moment I can only keep, I think its four different species in my Vivarium.
I'm level 26 myself... I spend too much time exploring and collecting Demiguise statues. 😂
@@Outland9000 I don't think expanding the vivarium is dependent upon Sebastian's questline. You can expand the vivarium 3 times, but they give you new areas, not increasing over 4 types of species.
lol Allistair I thought I was the only one tho u beat me I think my character is lvl 29 and I'm finally on Sebastian's quest :) but yeah the money everywhere all the clothes they give us to sell, I can't stop myself from doing any side activity nearby on my way to the main quests.
@@AlanDantes76 Turns out I just unlocked the second (coastal) vivarium after doing another quest for Deek.
@@Outland9000 There ya go, keep going. The final unlock area is soooooo coool. I mean they are all cool but the they saved the best for last on that one for sure.
I was surprised practice dummies weren’t available for the room
The vivariums should be twice as big as they are now. You agree with me? 😆
You feel the need to practice magic in a video game? 😂
There’s a whole room for that lmao
they should really default the transfiguration spells and the beast related spells when you visit the room of requirement. such a pain to reset the combo every time
And with beasts too. So hassle huhu
@@bymx1740 Or at the very least don't let you use plants. I keep pulling out mandrakes and it scares the ever loving fudge out of my mooncafs. T_T
You can use your skill points to acquire up to 4 spell sets! I have one spell set dedicated to beasts, one spell set dedicated to the transfiguration spells, one spell set for combat, and a basic spell set with Lumos, Wingardium Leviosa, Levioso, and Accio
@@VioletyWings 4 spell sets are not still enough... i need at least 3 for usual gameplay on fighting and puzzle solving
@@hohoho951 I find that my combat spell set is really the only one I need to frequently edit when I have my beast, transfiguration, and basic ones set in place 🤷
A few things I've learned:
The largest of each of the potting stations (5 small pots, 3 medium, 2 large) actually take up a considerably smaller volume in the space than the medium ones do, so skipping the mediums is totally legit
1. Unicorns and Thestrals don't seem to get along, try to keep them in separate vivariums
2. Hippogriffs scare Nifflers - they don't actively antagonize them, but the Nifflers will often run away from the Hippogriffs when they squawk and flap their wings
3. Kneazles seem to be super chill, and don't give a shit about any other beast type
4. I tried the dung composters, but they only increase the yield by 1 (i.e. 5 becomes 6). I didn't try any further than that, so I don't know if you can stack multiple fertilizers in one pot? I ended up just binning them, as the normal yield is plenty, unless you're on Bastard mode (which I've not tried yet)
5. Further to the point above, I found the cutting stations to be better value than fertilizer, but their output is random, like the hopping pot
6. Not related to ROR, but the lock mini game - the unlock positions almost always line up with the markers on the inner and outer rings on the mechanism (hopefully you'll understand what I mean when you look at the locks in game), so you can cut out a huge amount of twiddling just by going straight to the markers
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the breeding beasts challenge doesn't actually require you to breed every single type of beast: I've yet to capture a Graphorn, and only have a female Unicorn, but have completed the challenge - it only requires 10 of the 12 breedable beasts to do (since there's only 1 phoenix and you can't breed it).
Double edit: Actually, that's a point - If there's only one phoenix, and it's in your Vivarium, how are other merchants supplying it?!?
I didn't know about the unicorn/thestral and hippogriff/nifflers relationships! Thanks for your help, and I totally agree with the composters, definitely not worth it imo
they must be sneaking into your vivarium and stealing your poor phoenix's feathers while you're out!
I'm a year later but I noticed kneazzles do react to Diricawls, or at least mine have done it twice by this point
Kneazles will go after Diricawls. Learned that the hard way. 😅 Lol
Extra section opens up:
"Neat! let me just decorate it and put it full of planters and potion stations!"
few quests later the room is fully decorated, I go in to pick up my potions and plants as usual when suddenly a whole new section opens up behind it.
Making the room larger but also breaking up the infrastructure I created and removing half of my wall decorations.
>:-(
I've finished all the main quests but my room hasn't opened the additional area of the lower room... does something specific trigger it?
haha yes that is exactly what happened to me! I decided my room needed a thorough redecoration, cleaned it entirely, spent ages to make it look awesome... and then SWOOOSH the room got its final upgrade and I have to do it all over again!
The Beast Feeder is a great upgrade for the Vivarium, makes things super quick. You just brush them and collect goodies.
There needs to be a magic brushing station too
@@ProBreakers That would be nice, get rid of the micromanaging.
Agreed. I just wish it worked before you got there. Not to be super lazy, but once you add the feeder to the vivarium, the animals should always be fed by default. So when you walk into the vivarium, you should only need to brush them.
@@cainemarko5021Agreed. Would have been nice if the toy box served a practical function as well, perhaps reducing the time to harvest items since the beasts were happier maybe.
@@Anotherguy1st Great idea.
This is a basic beginner video, NOT a "Things i wish i knew earlier"
Is it just me or having several herbology pots growing plants and waiting to harvest them feels like the good old Farmville days? XD
Yupp lol. It's so addictive
Or just a garden. 🤷♀️
I was thinking more like a drug lap 😭 idk why lmao
Great guide! I just wish we could have more than 12 animals per vivarium, there's so many different colours in some magical beasts that is difficult to choose which ones to keep .
I hear you there - the Vivariums are a fun system, but the team could have expanded them even more. Maybe something for a future content update? We'll see...
Agreed. I was hoping to have a zoo of sorts. I hope in future DLC more species are added to the game & more than 4 species can be in 1 vivarium.
Yeah those fwoopers make every choice tougher than the last.
I just did rooms of all the unique(albino) ones. :p
@@crisisalert3029 they say they’re not gonna be doing DLC 😢 which I think is gonna be a huge let down for pretty much everyone.
Important note about chopping stations and hopping pots: you need to have the seeds for chopping stations to produce the ingredients and the recipe for the hopping pots to produce a potion. They produce at random but from your characters known resources, i.e. you need to have purchased mallow sweet seeds to receive mallow sweet leaves from the chopping stations, still at random from your assets.
not true, the hopping pots produce any potion at random regardless of which recipes you own
@@angelo423 that was not my experience, I didn't have enough to buy the recipe for thunderbrew after buying the spell craft for the hopping pot, I had the pot's hopping for must've been 10 brews and they only ever gave me potions of the recipes i'd bought. When I finally bought the recipe for thunderbrew it started showing up in my pots. Maybe I just had bad luck.
@@50calBeowulf "Barluck," the notion of bad luck, is a figment of imagination invented to find excuses for unfortunate events. No supernatural force influences our lives in such a way. It's simply a way for people to shift blame and avoid personal accountability for life's natural ups and downs.
@@50calBeowulf this was my experience also.
@@tubelious Must be a bug fix they introduced when they fixed some other things. Like I notice they removed the ability to fast travel to the ROR directly. There's a floo flame in the door, but you can't use it. It used to crash my game when I'd try to fast travel there, so apparently they simply removed it from the map. Or maybe it's not on the map?
Actually got the hopping pots first and I barely ever had to make potions and got by with the 3 small potions stations and 3 hopping pots for a long time while getting the best of the other spellcrafts (2 Large Pots) and recipes/seeds first. Potions brew so fast you don't really need the T shaped station. So I only ended up using the T one for decoration late game as I was nearly always maxed out on potions. Farming money early is literally all about finding and selling gear before you run out of inventory space and is extremely easy to do since you can pretty much explore 2/3 of the world map basically right away. Pretty much had all my most expensive stuff out of the way before even getting alohamora which gives you easy access to an absurd amount of gear to sell.
I just wanted to say they made the hogwarts castle in this game look so incredible lol . i was just walking around checking everything out for like 2 hours haha. So cool
This is definitely and Explorer's game. Especially since you ONLY level up mostly through exploring...Sure there are a few combat achievements that give some XP, but it's not a Grinder's game.
What I'd like to see is them making an MMO version, using the same world. let everyone have their own version of the ROR, and have them start as first years, learning spells more slowly (Seriously, your character in this game is so OP learning spells they'd give Hermoine Bloody Granger an inferiority complex...)
With a few years of major gaming let downs..... This game is a breath of fresh air.
It is atmospheric, magical, exciting, cosy, gorgeous and more importantly..... FINISHED lol.
So many games have released in such a bad state that are not anywhere near as good as this, even when they've been patched.
I will say that i am impressed with the revival and work put in too make Cyberpunk the game it is today, compared too launch.
But playing this on the Series X, i can't fault a single thing so far from launch day till now.
Please game Dev's, take note of the time, love, care and attention that went into every aspect of this near perfect game.
Great video and some handy tips.
This game unlocked a feeling for me that I didn’t know was still possible today from games. Gives me hope for these upcoming next gen titles. I think we will look back on Hogwarts Legacy with tons of nostalgia in the future.
Best potting setup
2 large pot station-2 nos (3 venamous tentacula+1 flux seed)
3 medium pot station-2nos (3 shrivelfig + 3 chinese chomping cabbage)
5 small pot station- 3nos(5 dittany+5 mandrake+2 mallosweet+3 knot grass)
I just wish I could at least sit in just 1 piece of furniture in the game, like even a chair in the common room. But it would be cool if you and friends could explore each other's rooms. Also PLEASE allow your mythical creatures to walk w you and even help fight in certain situations. Such a good game though.
I think the devs expect streamers to show off their designs and rooms to everyone. But everyone else who doesn't stream? We want to show it off somehow. I went all out on my designs lol but only my girlfriend gets to see when we take turns playing. There are a lot of missed opportunities in this game. Among those, being able to play MMO style with other people. Maybe one day we'll get a game like that.
@@keir0830no thanks! GMOs alter organisms, while MMOs secretly modify players' DNA through nanobots, granting virtual superpowers. Stay alert in the game world!
I have to say, I love the concept and the functionality of the Room of Requirement. Both decoration options and gameplay options are brilliant. That said, it all has one flaw to me. And that is that while every potion and plant in this crafting system is useful, it's not used much.
I'm one who loves to play in a way that I prepare for every eventuality and likes to use potions and on use items that give me the edge in combat. But with like one exception, I never really had to use any of it. Except for the healing potion, all other potions and plants just collected dust in my inventory. And that's because the game isn't really hard. Not even on hard mode. I barely ever died, and when I actually did die, I almost never needed more than another try to beat the boss. Me dying was mainly caused by not really trying too hard and just casually whiping the floor with the NPCs on screen.
The hard mode in this game barely holds a candle to the easiest levels in Souls Games. And when I can easily manage anything the game throws at me first or (in some cases), second try anyway, using consumables feels like a waste, and not a helpful tool.
Once you start approaching the higher levels, upgrade your gear a bit, and get the unforgivable curses, you walk like a god amongst men anyway. When I start a fight on my level 40 character, it feels like cheating because every enemy just melts, and I (if I ever get hit by anything) barely take any damage on Hard mode. What's the point of using potions then?
Yeah I have done my entire playthrough so far with only using wiggenweld. The only time I used other potions/items are for the quests that required it. They are neat but by no means necessary.
same, I did the whole game with nothing but wiggenweld, and I never even thought of using other potions or plants bc combat is pretty easy once you get damage spells
You can get a load of venemous tentacluar (repeatable) in the herbology greenhouses (saves on large pots initially)
It still triggers me that opposite alcove doesn't become a room 😅
Dude...ME TOO!
Room for future content 😎🤙🏼
SYMMETRY!
I just hate that!!! It just makes me mad
I know right? Mark my words there will be a future expansion where that room becomes open on that side
I hit level 18 right as I finished the quest to unlock talents, and right after went and got my room of requirements. I didn’t spend any money until that point and just sold my stuff that I didn’t need. Ended up saving a bunch and being able to afford the T shape planting station and Double large pot brewing station. It’s been really nice to have so many things running at once. I’d really recommend saving up early on so when you unlock the room of requirements you can spend the 3k on each of those big stations.
Wish we could interact with the beasts, similarly to how we can interact with the cats in the game. I hope they add this or use it in the future. I also second the idea of being able to interact with furniture, and just sit down. Especially in the commonroom and great hall :)
Use the toy box and you can play with the animals.
@@Electrobix99 Yes, this is a fun addition in the game. But I still would suggest adding an interact feature with the beasts that involved a pat or scratch to simulate affection 😊 How many times did we accidently stun our beasts, they deserve a little caress after 😇
@@jasonfoth14I'm pretty sure that's beastiality sooo...
Fun fact: I thought all those cats were there for some hidden trophy so I kept petting them all 😻
It would’ve been super cool if the room expanded fully before the end of the game. Now I have this awesome room that I don’t really even need to go into.
exactllllyyy
There are a few collector chests in each Vivarium if you poke around and explore a little. They'll unlock some more display set pieces.
Exactly 3 in each, you can stop looking after 3.
3???
For anyone wondering, I kind of went the opposite route and I got the hopping pots first, before I bought any other potion or potting plans. With three hopping pots going while I hung out in the room of requirement, and coming home to three random potions every time I had to come in to identify or upgrade gear or check on a vivarium, I always had all the potions I needed. I ended up adding two medium three pot potting stations for combat plants. I find that the Mandrake and the cabbages are the best and don't bother with the large potting table for the big one I forgot the name of right now. I think this saved me a lot of money in the long run , But the 3000 galleon spend early on did mean that I had to wait a little longer for a few other things. I also have been playing on normal difficulty and I don't use a million potions per fight. Just a few. One more tip on that - If you get the full amount of one of the potions and cannot collect that potion from the pot, just drink one and collect the potion so that it can make the next random potion.
Invisibility potion is used in combat as a defensive spell. Even without anything in stealth when you chug that potion enemies won't target you. So you got four seconds of full spell casting without return fire. Buy the ehancement talent and it's even longer.
Breeding station is not juts for material and challenge. It is decent gold farm - 1700 gold per run
So breed them and sell them :)
*YOU MONSTER!*
What do you need to buy in this game that you need so much money? lmao
The room of requirement is one of my favorite parts in the whole game I LOVE IT
what is the cloke you are wearing time stamp 7:04?
Its amazing i want It. Simeone knows?
It appears to be the house reward for collecting all the keys for house chest.
You can cut some animation time when crawling under a space, by rolling just before you reach it you'll only crouch for a second in most places. ;)
These are great tips!
The first thing I bought was the hopping station and large potting table (even before the broom). They were game-changers! I also kept the more used animal items (puffskein, etc) on the main floor, with the loom next to the vivarium) for ease of access, shaved off a few minutes here and there.
Unrelated, threstrals with the Zoomies is pure joy.
I always buy the Material Refiner blueprint in my first batch of purchases and put them down first for this reason. I also ONLY buy the largest versions of each potting station, even if I have to put it off a bit longer, as anything else is a waste of money and space.
3:04 I got the same set up besides that my potion station at the bottom of the screen is put where the green hopper is facing diagonally towards the top right potion station and my seventh is where the blue hopper is facing the top left station while having a gap in the middle to obviously walked to the other potion station. (I got one station for each of the 6 potion I could craft pre-crafted when I need to restock , the seventh is where I would put for a respec potion, If I HAD IT, so for now I only use it for potions I used constantly, which is none)
and my hoppers is on the other side of the room put close together on the middle wall while having the fertilizer pot on diagonally facing wall, and across both vertical walls are the mining station on one side and the chopping board on the other so that I can have my free gathering stuff in the same place.
and I got the bigger room so my herbs station is
3 big 2 pot slots station across the middle wall, 1 medium 3 pot slots across the diagonal wall that would connect to the stone walls on both sides (close to the big pots)
(and in the middle of the wood floor) 2 small 5 pot slots in front of the big pot stations (going vertically) across and have a space for a vertical chopping board in the middle of the 2 small 5 pot station
The best way to get all this stuff early is to unlock the eye chests watch a video and get all of them in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade right after you get the Disillusionment spell and you’ll be able to get all of these very early in the game
I like the broom more than the beasts with wings. The broom don't need food or water 😆
As soon as you get the invisibility spell just run around hogsmeade and collect the eyeball chests and you'll have enough money to buy all the important stuff there.
Thank you I had no idea till now how to get in those damn things...makes sense now
you can also use the disillusionment charm!
@@sarahk4895 the disillusionment charm is the invisibility spell lol
I usually farm eye-chests and then buy what I need.
I tend to skip things I don't use often, such as venomous tentacula, invisibility potion or magic beast things. As for the rest, I usually put the refiner after buying maxima, focus and thunderbrew potions, because it will take that long to unlock the room of requirement, but the potions class is available in the first two hours of game, I also favorize Chinese cabbages over mandrakes, but I never buy a plant seed for a table I don't have, and I always buy the tables with the highest number of pots, hopping pots come last, mostly because I don't use potions often.
Been playing for 3 days at level 35. 86 percent completed. Maybe I would use more potions and stuff on hard mode idk but I had no problem being maxed out on potions and plants and other stuff. Noticed right away that if you didn't have the potion recipes the hopping pots only made what you knew; at least it did for me. Didnt get invisibility until after I purchased the recipe. Since the start I maxed out inventory on wiggenweld potions and never had to brew again hopping pots help out alot for me and you find quite a few of them In the world that I never lose to much stock in them. I straight out bought the largest of everything one of each and I'm doing pretty good. 5 small pots, 3 mediums and 2 large potting tables. Biggest pain to me is caring for the animals. 3 of each species is quite abit to go through. Would be cool if you had like an assistant that would care for them instead and could just collect the inventory. Even if the times would be increased I wouldn't mind at least I wouldn't have to check on them so much.
Id really like to stack items, interact w/them. Move things closer overlap when it makes sense, esp in the Animal sanctuaries. Why i cant put stairs on an actual structure? Or gate closer to the house? Id like the animals to interact w/conjured objects. Fwooper should be in the trees
ended up doing this based on your earlier videos, and it has paid off handsomely to have the room at max capacity as I played
Figured most of these things out the hard way on my first playthrough, then I spent half the game just playing plants vs wizards lmao
Please don't stop doing what you're doing you are helping me out a lot other other things I have to do in Hogwarts legend
This is the first video I’ve watched in this channel.
With how detailed (breakdown of your costs) this video, I can see why your character’s Ravenclaw.
scream
Couple things I've figured out. #1 the hopping pots only produce potions you have the recipes for. Also just discovered on the Merlin Trial you have to do the jumping from stone to stone you can get on your broom and just touch each one. Handy if you suck at jumping like me :p. Oh I'm on PS5. :)
Wait do u mean the Merlin trial that has 3 cubes on top of podiums how do I do those ?
@@Mr.Jerry13 Assuming I am thinking of the right one. You need to flip the top stone to match the symbol on the bottom. Just need to do that to 2 sides. I use the right mouse to target the face of the cube I wish to flip.
@check_profile426 sorry dm which number?
@@travisfoulk8210 it's a scam, just ignore them
@@steveheffner bless u
I found out later on I needed to grow the mallowsweet bush. And stock up if you want to complete all Merlin trials! Also another tip is to sell unidentified gear. You get 200 coin each and you can always buy and upgrade. Most of the stuff you’ll discover is less than what you have equipped on
You missed the best part about breeding beasts in the vivarium... That you can sell all of the little offspring that you get at the beasts shop in Hogsmede for 150g each. I'm sitting over 30k gold right now, and that's with straight up buying gear from the vendor if I don't have that pattern unlocked for transmog.
Too much time and effort for 150. Grab random critters at 120 each, faster n easier.
As if money is hard to come by in this game?
Thanks mods i sell each for 1000g LOL
By the time you can breed beasts, you should be swimming in Galleons like Scrooge McDuck. There's nothing to really spend your money on by this time, either. If you could get buffing candies and joke items from Honeydukes and Zonkos to add to your tab wheel, then money might have some use, but everyone is stinking rich by the endgame unless they don't use the ROR and go around buying potions and combat plants.
I completeley outfitted that Room - to realize, I do not need it anyway aside the Loom beeing in there for Upgrading once of Twice as I was already 38 and entirely OP when unlocking it.
It is a Game made for Kids, not Dark Souls Players - but still, it is a lot of fun - totally recommend.
Something I think people forget is you can harvest plants in the herbology classroom as well, that alone will provide your venomous tentacula stores until you can get the room of requirement setup to your liking.
Don’t bother with the large pots unless you want the ingredients that only grow in large pots, since once you do the hidden herbology corridor quest you’ll have access to half your max capacity of venomous tentacula every 3 in game days from the greenhouse you come out in.
Yeah but I'm not about to go to a whole other place to get one type of plant when I can get it with the rest of my "garden"
@@SirMike02 I should have specified this tip is for earlier game when you’re typically short on money, and probably have assignments to do for prof. Garlick to take you there anyway. From memory this video covers tips on what’s worth buying early game, and I think the biggest large potting table spellcraft is about 3000, and 1050 for tentacula seeds
Definitely agree, my first playthrough I ended up needing to buy the potions to complete the quests for Sharp to learn his spells. But, later playthroughs, I was able to make them myself saving me some cash to buy spellcrafts later.
Don't ignore the plants and potions. The L1 can turn a fight or potential loss into victory.
For those that have the PS5 Exclusive Felix Felisis potion: Don't ignore it. One item needed to craft it is rare unless you get the seeds from a vendor in Hogsmeade. Get is asap.
Aside from the starting plant and potion stations, save up for the best. 3 Tier/3 pot/cauldron tables and the former with large pots.
The Chopping tables are a good investment as well as the Fertilizer. Sadly you can NOT sell plants or potions but these alt items are all useful.
Get the first Vivarium asap. Shiny creatures have ZERO benefit over the rest.
A lot of Duelist Requirements for more XP require use of plants and potions as do some side quests which net more spells.
What do you mean there’s literally a potion you can craft in game that ps5 exclusive…..
I don't think you know what you're talking about dude lol.
Yo for real, I wouldn't even bother sleeping in my room if I went to Hogwarts. The RoR would be my bedroom.
The prefects would love to report you lol, but I can see why you would say that. The RoR as a concept is just so fun! Endless possibilities.
Also a quick tip i learned . if you are trying to place something in the ror and dont want it to click into place you can hold down the left trigger to free place it .
FYI, you don’t have to get off your broom to collect ingredients
Figured that out last night and its a great time saver lol
Or open chests!
Also using revelo on broom uncovers a HUGE area compared to on foot. Also fly on broom by all fast travel points. 99% of them you just fly close by them to unlock and carry on without getting off, esp helpful if near enemies. Some are in little houses all with a diff npc in with small little quest that doesn’t ever show on map. Won’t say anymore.
But yeah, fly to all fast travel points to get them all, makes life easier, but even though I’ve done that a lot of the time I enjoy flying and exploring so it doesn’t take that aspect away. Just convenient to have them when you want to use them.
2, 5 slot small planters 2, 3 slot medium planters and 2, 2 slot large planters will provide you everything you will ever need plant wise. I usually have enough moonstones (from a small time spent gathering and getting the ones I see running around) to get all of these when the room opens up.
3-5 smalls 2-3 meds 2-2 large. Maximize dittany cuz I’m on hard
Quickest way to get moonstones;
Buy the material refiner spell craft
Go back to the room of requirements.
Sell all the things (mirrors, tables, paintings, etc) which was given by the room self.
Place the 3 material refiners and every and you can get every 10 minutes 30 moonstones
If you spend even a little time outside the castle, money and moonstone really aren't an issue. The moonstone tables are nice to have but even just with one, I found myself constantly maxed out at 999 moonstone, from really early on. I'd also avoid the smaller planters altogether. Early in the game, just after opening the Room of Requirement, is probably the only time when money may be a little tight. That being said, you only really need the 2 station, large potting table and 3 station, medium potting table blueprints. Unless you're constantly using fighting plants, one of each of these is easily enough. You can grow small plants in both. There are only 8 plants available and you quickly have enough Mallowsweet for every Merlin Trial in the game, which makes growing any more pointless. That leaves 7 plants and 7 stations and you quickly build up enough plant ingredients. Also, if you never use certain potions, growing their ingredients becomes as redundant as growing excess Mallowsweet. If you DO constantly use potions and fighting plants, just add another one of the tables, up to a total of 3 of each. You only pay cash for the original blueprint, not for the tables themselves. They only require a small amount of moonstone and a shortage of moonstone is never really an issue. Bear in mind that you can only have a maximum of 12 of each potion and 12 of each of the three fighting plants on you. Basically, once you Have the large versions of the medium and large potting tables and a potion station, you quickly reach the point where potion ingredients and potions themselves are not a problem. The hopping pot blueprint is nice, as you get 3 free potions every 12 minutes or so, if you collect them. They become redundant pretty quickly though, as potion ingredients almost immediately become not an issue and it's much quicker just to brew them. Also if a potion slot is maxed out at 12 potions and your hopping pot produces that potion, you can't remove that potion, which means you can't use that pot. You have to laboriously delete the pot and conjure a new one.
tl/dr The only essential purchases are a large potion station blueprint and blueprints for the largest versions of the medium and large potting tables, as well as all the seed blueprints. You'll very quickly accumulate more than enough of everything with this setup. If you use fighting plants all the time, then the fertiliser machine blueprint is a must too. Everything else is optional and only really needed to complete collections. The chopping tables, in particular, are essentially pointless.
I've seen paw symbol ... now I need to catch some pokemon haha I mean beasts ;) Gotta catch them all
So I’ve been trying to find suggestions on what stations to purchase and which to leave alone (for the time being). Thank you for your guide as it helped me streamline my RoR and do away with the superfluous and expensive “unnecessaries”. While I know that the room opens up a lot after completing certain quests, space right now is at a premium, so having these suggestions helped me save that precious space, galleons and time overall. Will be looking into your other guides; and, if they’re anywhere near as helpful as this one, then I’m sure that my initial deep dive into this wonderful wizarding world will be absolutely amazing. Anyways, cheers!! Liked and sub’d!
1 or 2 potting stations?.. you can throw down 7 of the same station.
A fertilizer doubles the output of the singular plants though. Double mandrake, double venomous tantacular
I wish we could sell materials we collect in the RoR to get more galleons. We can buy the beast materials and plants at shops but can only sell gear.
Lol I haven't decorated 🤣anything. Not fun to me when we can't interact with our furniture 😩. I explored like a crazy person and only finished quest that would get me all the Vivarium rooms and picked up loads galleons to buy triple potion and herbalogy tables. I don't need the Hopping pot table since I have 100+ of ingredients to make my own potions...would be a waste not to make my own potions after all my gathering
Just the Room of Requirement part of this game itself is better than 90%+ games till date and pretty much better than every single AAA RPG
Haha. So true. That and flying
New to this game so only just this, but I'm surprised you found the hopping pot to be useful. I found it to be my least favorite item, as it inevitably produces something I don't use and/or am always maxed out on (invisibility and healing potions). I also would have recommended the 5-pot medium station asap then the 2-pot large potting stations before the refiner or composter. Also worth mentioning you can also buy phoenix feathers from the vendor in Pitt-Upon-Ford in the North Ford Bog.
Good tips! The RoR is such a fun piece of this game.
Thank you for this video. I kept wondering would I have to keep buying seeds. Thanks
Do you have a video showing your room of requirement and how you decorated it? Your room looks GORGEOUS
It wasn't until my third character that I found 2 chests and a sack to search BEFORE you meet up with Deek. Ticked me off to figure it out so late, but thanks for the tip on the chests in the Vivariums!
Maybe its just me but I rarely use potions and I am capped out, have hundreds of mats, tons of items from pets, and over 60k money. Frankly its way too easy to get potions and mats and money especially in single player.
And I'm level 36 and haven't even finished end game or explored all of the map.
Just sell your unused armor and you will have more money than you can count.
They did an amazing job with this game! I'm absolutely enjoying it!
I'm playing as watch this and bought the hopping pot as soon as you mentioned it 🙈 dam I've not saved the game in ages either 😂😂😂
Thankyou, very useful info and well presented as always :)
Great video! My room expanded a few times and i thought, ok this is it, i'll start decorating now. When i finished decorating, it expanded again arggghhh. 😂 so i had to start again. But yes, one of the finnest home of the character experiences. But i have to say i miss the ability of decoration the room in the house dorm, that would also be cool.
Very useful advice here, setting up the RoR properly will give you infinite potions and plants. Chugging all 4 potions at the same time (along with their respective talent upgrades) will make even boss fights a cake walk
You can break down all of the stuff that the room adds to get back the moonstone used to create it. Every expansion the room does includes some decor that can be broken down.
1 thing i wished was diffrent in the Hard mode is the amount of Wiggenweld potions u could carry or removing the auto generating HP after a battle. U can carry 25 Wiggenweld potions and imo that is way to many especially for hardmode. U already have the hp regen from picking up the ancient magic orbs that generate with each 10hit combo u get so there are already ways to regain hp and all the other potions and plants have a max limit of 12 u can carry. For normal mode its okey, but in hardmode there should not be this many ways to regain hp. I have started to ignore the auto regain after battle by instantly using a Wiggenweld potion instead to try and avoid it. If u have an auto hp regain system after a battle u should not be able to stack that many Wiggenweld potions.
I also think they went wrong in what ends up as the players primary way to earn galleons in the game. Any players main way to earn galleons is gonna be to sell gear and imo u get way to mutch for selling gear compared to selling beasts. Selling a Mooncalf or a Fwooper for 120g maybe abit to mutch but sure i can se that, but a Unicorn or a Hippogriff for 120g not a chans, a Unicorn horn alone cost 700 from vendors. There should have been a mutch more focus on earning galleons from selling diffrent rarity beasts instead of gear so the breeding pens would serve any good use.
Unless something new opens up late game i have bought almost everything except for some diffrent brooms and i still have 10k galleons and i havent even unlocked the 2nd trial yet. The amount of galleons u get from selling gear is just way to high especially when considering how mutch gear u get. U get so many galleons that u dont even need to rescue beasts in the first place and if u dont limit yourself from buying resources from merchants the whole beasts section of the game becomes irrelevant.
Actually I want the game to expand beyond Hogwarts. I want to explore the ministry of magic, the lake and all its magical creatures such as mermaids ,St Mungo Hospital, secret hidden wizard locations within the muggle world such as Diagon Alley and rules about integrating with them , magic bus transportation, learning how to apparate instead of having to use the floo floo powder since poachers, goblins, evil wizards do have that ability which is unfair for any player who had to face that old evil witch Cassondra if you’re a Hogsmeade’s shop owner.
A seco d game has been confirmed dude
Oh this is so helpful. Excellent guide!
It would be nice to have another room for animals and have the ability to catch stags, rabbits etc
me using dark magic is too far, but selling beast is crazy
I went total stealth, but it does require a lot of troll killing and the three hopping pots, but they do make it make it so some fights can not be stealth, some mandatory fights can be cheese stealth by walking away then coming back as stealth. However if you pop every potion and throw down some Venomous Tentacula, even the toughest bosses go down pretty easily.
Hogwarts the school should be an online lobby to interact with other witches and wizards, maybe let us play some v.s. arcade games if dueling is too difficult to develop, kind of what cod did with the wwII game. 😅
A good way to stock up on Venomous Tentaculas is the Herbology greenhouse. There's a ton of them.
I have now more combat plants than, I have to continually the ones I have and I'm always maxed out! It's great. I need to improve my potion production though
My first upgrade was to unlock the 5 small plant station. I almost never remember the combat plants, so I just focused on healing. I try to keep 20 potions on hand, just in case I stumble on a particularly hard enemy.
Can you plant more than one type of plant per pot? I planted some dittany seeds, when i press x to collect it automaticall plants another. Id like to just collect it and plant something elsw but it doesnt give the opportunity. Is that pot forever for dittany seeds now?
Thank you so much! There is so much in the game to take in and I’ve done more exploring than anything else. I had no idea you could do any of this and I’ve had this game for about a month 🤣
Nice video! I would argue: get the T shaped Potions table, then the Chopping Stations and Hopping Pots asap. Once you have those, save to get the 2/3-pot tables of different sizes. In my experience, exploration+Chopping Stations get you enough herbs by far, then Hopping Pots are just constant free potions. Therefore the earlier the better! I barely had to brew potions and harvest herbs with those two.
And I agree with other comments: I love experimenting with potions and combat plants, but they’re not really necessary, which is a shame. I end up having way too many, and I cannot even pick up what I potted.
Dung composters and material refiners are nice additions, but definitely optional ones. By the time I started using fertilisers, I was already around the max per combat plant, so not really necessary either.
Love your vids bro!
Yall using potions and stuff? I only used them for the quests that I needed to. Other than that I have too much fun rolling around and using all the different spells. I get such dark souls but Disney
Going to do a second run of the game on a much harder difficulty. Outside of combat challenges I dont think I ever used a potion or plant on my first play through.
Oh, Im on the hardest difficulty and used like 10 potions just to beat some Goblins or a Troll, as sometimes they kill you with just one punch
I agree. First playthrough on default difficulty, I didn’t need a single potion outside a few wiggenweld. Gonna jack up difficulty for 2nd playthrough
MY POV. Get the hopping pots first. Why? This single investment will make getting your spells much easier. Also free potions. You need to know the potion recipe in-order to have the hopping pot brew it so that is your next investment. Then I normally go for the material refiner so that I have enough moonstone. /shrug I can easily see skipping that. After that I go for the 3 pot medium station since I can plant both medium and smalls in it. When I am about ready to do the large combat plants is when I am getting the 2 large pot station, and those plants. Doing that basic method I found the cost to be much more bearable. Yes I know about the eye chests, I loot like 99% of them in hogsmead, I am just too lazy to get all of them in the castle. Also I tend to do a lot of exploring so I see lots of chests with gear I sell off regularly.
Anyways this is my priority on them, and on my 3rd playthrough to get to 40. /shrug You might find different priorities based on your own personal playstyle.
Wow, this video is helpful. I am a little more interested in that Ravenclaw robe that lights up every time you use magic. How did you get that?
Or is there a video that tells us how. I’ve only just now found your videos.
Dude if I'm honest i didn't use a single talent point for the chamber, nor have i had the need to brew any potion... I only played with spells during the fights and i gathered material and plants randomly while exploring and it was more than enough 🥲
Never had to farm moonstones etc, i only bought all the stations because I wanted to unlock them in my inventory but that's about it haha
The only thing worth farming is the mellowsweet for the merlin's trials.... and the beasts. But you don't have to try too hard honestly, regular visits gets you plenty of material ;;
I wish when your other three characters aren’t in use, you can see them wondering around your ROR and interacting with each other. Just to give your room some more life and a reason to hang out in there for no reason other than customizing.
I see a mod coming :'D
I can understand why they didn't do that. I like to think of it as your Private Tree House/Private Retreat/ Private Tower. Also I think he/she would have to go there and open it for them then go out and do what he/she wants to do. Like He/She is the owner of that ROR not them
I want that too but not in the ROR but just in the castle
Informative. Great video!
Are there any traits to cool down spells?
not that i'm aware of, but the focus potion does just that
Had the vivariums for a couple days before I explored them and found some chests with conjure stuff in them.
If you’re into base building the room and the vivarium have a ton of customization options
What parts of the vivariums? Do you mean you can change things similar to how you can on the walls/alcoves/balconies in the room?
A tip for beast farming, use aresto tho freez wild creatures in place and run up and capture them quick and easy I used this method to catch a unicorn
I always get the Materials Refiners first. As soon as I can buy them, even if it's before I'm allowed in the Room Of Requirement
Didn’t really need any f the potions or plants on my first playthrough on default difficulty. Gonna jack up the difficulty for second playthrough.
