The "Harry potter Go" by Niantic is currently only available in Australia, but is already on its second major patch. HPWU version 0.8.0 contains a number of new features, including a balancing patch applied to the rarity of some Foundables. In addition, we will notice the arrival on the live servers of new shiny Foundables, suggesting a progressive insertion of chromatics in the game, as in Pokemon GO. For some exegesis of Niantic mobile games, such a patch is a good indicator of the fact that the global output is close...
Balancing the rarity of Foundables
The rarity of some of them is increased, probably to limit some massive spawns of items and increase the diversity of the elements encountered.
Increased rarity, from 1 to 6.
Increased rarity, from 1 to 6.
Increased rarity, from 1 to 2.
Increased rarity, from 2 to 3.
Increased rarity, from 3 to 6.
New Foundables
Three new items to find have been added to the Registry in the chapter called Oddities. They will be unlocked in your registry with 10 fragments (20, 40 and 80 to obtain bronze, silver or gold).
Malicious little beings who do not hesitate to attack human children.
Now extinct in Europe, this species of snake still survives in North America and Asia.
The bow is a very common weapon for wood creatures such as centaurs.
Leveling up
The amount of experience required to level up has been reduced. Here are the new values to move to the corresponding level:
- 2 - 2250 → 1000xp
- 3 - 2350 → 1500xp
- 4 - 2400 → 2000xp
- 5 - 4000 → 3000xp
- 6 - 5000 → 4000xp
Avatar customization
Observable from the main menu and your Wizard's Identity Card, your avatar can indeed be personalized at will, via filters, cosmetics, special clothes... It should be noted that a very large number of cosmetics will be unlocked at certain levels.
Stats on the account
A whole range of new statistics on your wizard account will be added to your Ministry ID card.
- Number of inns and greenhouses visited
- Won fights
- Foundable brought back
- Distance traveled
It is not yet known exactly what these achievements will look like, but they are reminiscent of the Pokemon GO Badges, which reward you with certain achievements.
New event book
A new object acquired during the events will join the game. Restricted books will be used to improve your profession lessons, and will essentially be another currency in the game. Generally speaking, it is the entire tab of the Profession that is updated with this patch. More readable sections, more remarkable statistics... All you need to do is to get back in touch with the professions in HPWU, in short.
Visual change on the Fortresses
The Fortress interface (the arenas of Pokemon GO), will be updated with this patch. Here is an overview.
As a reminder, the game is available via an APK on Android mobiles and we explain how to download and install the APK for Harry Potter Wizards Unite!
