Harry Potter Wizards Unite jumps right into Christmas. And it seems that they are still looking for formulas to repeat the success of Pokémon GO. That is why, as with gifts between Pokémon players, you will soon be able to send and receive gifts from witches and wizards with whom you have a relationship in the game of magic and wizardry. Something that can be really interesting to get special items or a good collection of extras for your magical adventures.
At the moment Harry Potter Wizards Unite has only announced the arrival of this feature in the next few days. So we will have to wait to start ripping wrapping paper and get all these extra items. Of course, we already know how they work, what they contain and where to find them We explain it here in detail.
What are HPWU Gifts
These are boxes that contain elements and extra objects. Something like a trunk with prizes. The key is that, although we can collect them, they are not for us. That's what it's all about: gifts. So we can collect and store them but they are only available to send to other friends and Harry Potter Wizards Unite players. So the idea is to be generous and collect them to deliver them, being happy that these players will receive these extra items. Of course we will always have the hope of receiving a gift in return to reward our generosity…
There are three types of boxes of different gifts, which we can distinguish by their color. Their appearance is random, but their prizes or contents are the same depending on the type of box they are.
- Blue Gifts: Contains magical energy to cast more spells.
- Yellow Gifts: Contains runes for participating in Strongholds.
- Green Gifts: Contains ingredients to create potions.
Of course, keep in mind that, along with these elements, all gifts also carry EXP points for the players who receive them. And most importantly, can contain random special itemsIn other words, giving and receiving gifts only brings good things. But we will have to do it often if we want to have more opportunities to get any of these special objects. Come on, a very tempting candy for players to participate more and get involved in the relationship with other wizards and witches in the game. Good thinking, Niantic.
Where to get gifts
Getting gifts to give away in Harry Potter Wizards Unite is easy. In fact, the activity is directly integrated into the usual tasks of the game. All you have to do is go eat something at a tavern, pick up a plant from a greenhouse or complete a challenge inside a Fortress That is, they appear almost like the rest of the objects in the game. One more item that you can now find by performing certain actions during the game. But be careful, Niantic warns that the taverns and the Strengths of the collaborators (brands or companies) will have better rewards.As it happens in Pokémon GO, in addition, the gifts will be marked with the location where they were collected.
Of course, its appearance is random, and even more so the type of gift in question. The interesting thing to know is that we can store up to a total of 100 gifts in our trunk. A new space to accommodate all this. Of these gifts we can only send one to a friend whose ID we have already added to the game every 24 hours. In addition, it is necessary that you open the first gift to be able to send you a second once this time has passed. Don't worry if he doesn't open it or if you forget to open one for a while: they don't expire.
Of course you'll have to keep in mind that you can only open 10 gifts a day. Even if you have a large network of witch friends who send you gifts every day, the game limits this action.
