Potterworld's 7th Anniversary 2021

Overview

Potterworld’s 7th Anniversary event took place from May 18th to June 19th in 2021. This event was in celebration of Potterworld being released to the public 7 years prior. Throughout this event players were able to re-visit past events that took place in Potterworld’s history.

Storyline

Players met with Kevin who revealed that something shady had happened at the Ministry and that he needed help figuring out the issue. The player was taken to the Clock Room in the Department of Mysteries where the Ministry had determined that the problem most likely had something to do with time. The player then received a Temporal Turner to help investigate the rooms associated with the past.

Location

The event was accessed through a Kevin NPC in the Great Hall of Hogsworth. When clicking on the NPC, the player would be taken to the Clock Room in the Department of Mysteries. In this room, there were six rooms that represented previous events on the server where the player could go to travel back to these events.

Quests

Seven quests could be completed by players during the 7th Anniversary event. Each quest was based on a previous event on the server and could be teleported to using a Temporal Turner. An item known as Temporal Sand was used to unlock each location. There were various ways in which a player was able to obtain the sand and they were also tradable with other players.

The New Wing

This is the first quest encountered by players during the event and the only one that did not require the player to spend Temporal Sand to unlock it. The player began the quest by speaking to the second Kevin NPC in the Clock Room. This quest was a way to help introduce the Temporal Turner and Sand to players. During the quest, the player had to gather 5 Temporal Sand from the nodes found around the Clock Room and use them to unlock Dormunstrad.

A Frozen Fortress

After the player unlocked Dormunstrad they were able to start this quest. The A Frozen Fortress quest was based on the 2019 Winter Waltz event in Dormunstrad. The player had to speak to Dragomir, who explained that the castle had once again been taken over by an unknown force. The player then had to obtain Cursed Ice Shards from Cursed Ice mobs in the castle, Bluefyre Ashes from Fyre Fiends on the ice river, Bells of Dormunstrad from flowers next to the school, and Enchanted Icicles from the frozen river. Once they gathered everything, they were able to craft the Bluefyre at the Bluefyre Forge. They then used the Bluefyre to free the school from the unknown force.

Trickington Terrors

After the player unlocked Trickington they were able to start this quest. The Trickington Terrors quest was based on the 2018 Halloween event. Aggie will greet the player to Trickington and mention that one of the Chief Aurolock’s followers is causing mayhem. She mentions that three residents of Trickington have gone missing. Aggie then gives the player an address book to find the residents’ houses. At the house, the player then views a short cutscene showing what happened to the resident. After the player completes a short quiz, they confront the Warlock on the building with a giant cauldron. The player must then free the three monsters by completing a maze, defeating a headless horseman with a pumpkin launcher, and electrocuting Frankenstein's monster.

Cracks in Time

After the player unlocked Hogsend they were able to start this quest. This quest is based on the 2018 Butterbrew Festival event. The player will find a temporal turner on the ground that will allow them to follow particles to find the Clocksmith’s shop. At the shop, the Clocksmith will ask the player to collect Temporal Sand from inside the shop, the golden nugget from outside the gates of Hogsend, and glass shards from the alley behind Honeysweets. The golden nugget and glass shards both require the player to dig through snow via a GUI. After the player returns to the Clocksmith’s shop, they will perform a sequence to create an Hourglass that they turn in to the Clocksmith.

Carnival Conundrum

After the player unlocked the Fantastical Carnival they were able to start this quest. This quest is based on the 2017 Carnival event. The Fortune Teller at the back of the carnival gives the player a drink and then tells the player to look into her crystal ball, after which the player will talk to a mysterious figure. At the Fortune Teller tent, there’s a book with three bookmarks that the player must click and complete each scenario. The first bookmark needs to play to click through dialog on the bars of a cage, find the Ring of Fire potion, and then push the potion through the bars. The second bookmark needs the player to select the lock on the Manticore cage and calm the creatures down. For the third bookmark, the player must pass through two carnival booths by completing a pipe puzzle. At the end, the player will walk through a large clown mouth to continue. The player is then turned into a turtle and put into a cage that they must break out of. Then the player must retrace their steps until they find the carnival ring, at which point they can click the eye, enter the password, and destroy the eye.

Broken Records

After the player unlocked the Fine Arts Festival they were able to start this quest. This quest is based on the 2016 Fine Arts event. After talking to an NPC named Sean, the player needs to tune a guitar’s strings to the given notes. The player will then talk to Arianna on the stage and put the wire pieces into the correct order. On the opposite side of the map, there is a record player that the player must clean and then put the stylus in the middle of the record. The player can then return to the Festival Director and let him know that the record player is restored.

One Last Time

After the player unlocked the Survival Spawn Closing Ceremony they were able to start this quest. This quest is based on the 2015 Survival event. Mayor Mavis will explain to the player that the survival realm is collapsing in on itself and invites them to join in.

Then, once the player hears a mysterious voice, they can go to the Wand Maker’s House to speak to Sorcerer Sparrow to investigate. He explains that the player must craft a new wand by collecting an Elder Branch from the Elder Tree in town and a Wand Core that Sparrow gave the player. After this, the player can speak to Farmer Francisca to start the Bun Run time trial where they need to feed 15 bunnies within 2 minutes. The player then talks to Thane Theodocia to learn how to get back home, learning that they must pass through the Gauntlet and kill Warlocks. Adventurer Alejandro will tell the player that they must complete the Elemental parkour to get their wand back. All of these steps necessitate the player interacting with their wand to move on. Finally, the player will speak to Jaybles and watch a final cutscene from Survival’s closing.The quest began with Prince Florian at the Dwarves’ cottage. It is revealed that the Evil Queen had once again placed a curse on Snow White as well as the Seven Dwarves. While Snow White was placed back into a deep sleep, the dwarves' personalities were switched. The player then needed to find each of the seven dwarves located around Enchanted Valley and help return them to their normal selves.
