While we wait for the event to start, here are some last-minute tips to help you prepare:

Save up 2km Portkeys

Every Brilliant Event so far has required players to unlock Portkeys to complete the Special Assignments. The fastest way to complete this task is with 2km Portkeys (and silver keys, but frugal players can skip the silver keys and just walk more) and with the Brilliant 3km Portkeys.

If you have some 2km Portkeys, don’t put a key in just yet!

Wait to Pick up new Portkeys

Of course, since players will need five Fragments for the Portkey-exclusive Foundable, Brilliant Hogsmeade Sign, it can also be wise to hold off on picking up new Portkeys until after the event starts. Plus, the first set of Special Assignments asks players to pick up two portkeys or ingredients, so waiting until event start will let you knock that task out right away.

Brew up some potions

The Brilliant Sorting Hat is a High Foundable, so be sure you have some Exstimulo Potions ready to help you collect all 12 Fragments if you’re struggling with it or just have limited time or spawns. Even if not, Brilliant Event Treasure Trunks are a great source of Scrolls and Runestones, so you’ll want to return as many of the Brilliant Foundables as possible to keep ranking up.

Stock up ingredients for 2hr potions

The Special Assignments for this event asks players to brew nine potions in total. With only a week to complete all of the tasks, you don’t want to get stuck brewing Baruffio’s Brain Elixir. Healing Potions and basic Exstimulo potions are the fastest options, so be sure to save up ingredients for one or both to get through the brewing task quickly.

Of course if you have gold to spare, you can always buy ingredients, rent the second cauldron, or even pay gold to complete your potions. Be sure to check out our Premium Brewing Guide for more tips on how to make the most of your gold when brewing!
