What is Hogwarts Diary?
Hogwarts Diary is a special limited-time event where you unlock a secret story by completing a collection of pictures called the Picture Collection. Each picture is fragmented into pieces, and your goal is to collect magical Inkwells that reveal these picture fragments, uncovering clues to the story!
When do I unlock the Hogwarts Diary event?
After completing Year 1, Chapter 8, you’ll gain access to the Hogwarts Diary Side Quest in your Quest Log. Once you complete the Side Quest, the event will unlock if an active Hogwarts Diary event is available.
Can Beyond Hogwarts players also access the Hogwarts Diary?
Yes! Hogwarts Diary is available to all players who’ve completed the Hogwarts Diary Side Quest. For Beyond Hogwarts players, the story will be presented as a memory from your earlier time at Hogwarts.
How do I access Hogwarts Diary?
The Hogwarts Diary event can be accessed via the Inkwell-shaped feature button in the lower right corner of your screen.
How do I progress in Hogwarts Diary?
To progress in Hogwarts Diary events, you’ll need to earn Inkwell Packs. These Packs will include Inkwells that you can use to reveal more of your Picture Collection. Each picture you complete progresses the story in your Hogwarts Diary.
What is the Picture Collection and how many pictures are in each event?
The Picture Collection is the set of pictures you need to complete during the event. The number of pictures may vary from event to event.
How do I get Picture Pieces?
You can obtain Picture Pieces by collecting Inkwells from Inkwell Packs. Each Inkwell contains magical ink tied to a specific part of a picture within the event.
How do I complete a Picture?
You will need to collect all the Inkwells that hold each fragment of the Picture, and place them in the Picture. For example, if a Picture has 16 fragments, you will need 16 unique Inkwells, each containing the magical ink required to reveal one specific fragment.
How do I get Inkwells?
The magical Inkwells needed to complete the Pictures in your Hogwarts Diary are found in Packs, which can be acquired in several ways:
- Earning Full Stars in Project Tasks: Complete project tasks to earn Packs! Longer tasks have a higher chance of dropping a Pack.
- Participating in Live Events: Join selected live events that award rarer Packs.
- Purchasing Packs: Get Packs from the Hogwarts Diary Shop and explore various offers in the Store and Sales!
- Replay Quests: Replay completed Special Adventures to earn Packs! Please note that you may not be eligible for Replay Quests if your year is lower than 4 or you haven’t completed certain Special Adventures.
- Mail Challenges: Keep an eye out for mail items that contain challenges, which may award Packs.
What are Inkwell Packs?
Inkwell Packs contain Inkwells, which are used to reveal pieces of the pictures. Each Inkwell corresponds to a specific fragment of a picture, helping you complete your collection and progress through the event.
What are Inkwell Pack rarities?
Inkwells have rarities represented by blue Crystals, ranging from 1 to 5 Crystals. The number of Crystals displayed on a Pack indicates the minimum guaranteed rarity of at least one Inkwell inside. For example, 2 Crystals on the Pack icon means you will receive at least one 2-Crystal Inkwell from the Pack. Higher rarity Inkwells help you unlock harder-to-find Picture Pieces.
What are Mysterious Inkwells?
Mysterious Inkwells are highly useful as they can transform into a random missing piece from any incomplete picture in your Hogwarts Diary. Keep an eye out for event rewards and offers featuring Mysterious Inkwells!
How do I use an Inkwell?
- Open the Hogwarts Diary from the Inkwell-shaped button.
- Select an unfinished picture that has available Inkwells to be placed (indicated by an orange circle with a number).
- On the picture’s page, you’ll find your “New Inkwell” on the right side, showing the Inkwells you’ve earned.
- Drag and drop an Inkwell anywhere onto the picture. The Inkwell will automatically reveal the specific fragment it holds, corresponding to the Crystal rarity required for that part of the picture.
What is the Hogwarts Diary Shop?
The Hogwarts Diary Shop offers various Inkwell Packs you can purchase to progress in the event.
What happens if I get a duplicate Inkwell that I already own?
As you open more Packs, you may encounter Owned Inkwells you’ve already collected. These Inkwells are still valuable! Owned Inkwells grant the Crystals currency, which can be accumulated and exchanged for rewards in the Crystal Exchange.
What is the Crystal Exchange?
The Crystal Exchange is where you can spend the Crystals earned from owned Inkwells on various items. Items in the Exchange may rotate throughout the event, so be sure to check back regularly. Remember to spend your Crystals before the event ends, as all unspent Crystals will be lost.
How long is each Hogwarts Diary event?
Generally, each event will last several weeks. However, the duration may vary. Please check in-game to see how long a specific Hogwarts Diary event will last.
What happens to my Inkwell Packs, Inkwells, and Crystals once the event ends?
All unspent items will be lost at the end of the Hogwarts Diary event, so be sure to spend them before it ends! When a new event begins, you will start collecting new Inkwells, Inkwell Packs, and Crystals for that event.
