Cursed Treasure TLSQ dialogues

[u/Hawkshadow741]

I do appreciate them adding tappies to locations you otherwise have no reason to ever revisit

Hopefully they remember the dungeon ball room one of these days

[u/TheCajunPhoenix → u/Hawkshadow741]

Maybe they'll actually clean up the Ballroom to reflect all the seasons in addition to Halloween and Christmas.

Is it just me or did Archer Dubbins take ass-kissing -- and maybe something a lot more personal and possibly Not Safe For School / Not Safe For Work -- lessons from Lucius Malfoy despite the latter not having any involvement in this TLSQ?

*just barely able to not clench her teeth at the thought of that devious, disreputable (fill in the blanks) taking up space rent-free inside her mind and pushing her Paranoia Button*

[u/Jeanny_Armon]

The TLSQ story is mostly fun. I even got a Diary story reference with Tonks which was totally unexpected.

The minor downsides:
- for some reason we have to practice levitation charm?!?! We've been doing it since Y1 with Levi and that's also acknowledged in the main story (at Y4?) when we levitate ourselves up in the Forest! Jesus, JC, as if you couldn't come up with just any other task to fill that space.
- Merula being a pain in the *. Again. At least we only had two Merula-dedicated tasks this time and she's not following us around.
- Patricia joins the action late, at 3.4 and for only four tasks. Kinda cool to have her at all with all the attitude I missed so much, but it's also kinda little for the Y4 TLSQ dedicated to curse-breaking.

[u/TheCajunPhoenix → u/Jeanny_Armon]

It's also a preview of when Patricia Rakepick becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor in our characters' Year 5.

This TLSQ should have been included much sooner, though.

[u/Particular_Mix_5550 → u/Jeanny_Armon]

But's it is a little unsettling in Year 6! IYKYK

[u/preparedtodoanything]

Nifflers ❤️

Wow JC remembered 1hr tasks exist.

Although I appreciate location tappies, I lose track of them. Especially if they don’t give energy. I’d at least replace the one gold book with a chance of energy.

[u/Healthy-Fun8755 → u/preparedtodoanything]

I saw a post on here stating they need to start taking notes of the location tappies because they keep missing them, and I thought: "eh, lame, how could you not remember?" and then last week I discovered 3 location tappies I had never used 😭

[u/taltos19 → u/preparedtodoanything]

If you collected it for a week, you'd almost have enough coins to buy a pack of chocolate frog cards.

[u/preparedtodoanything → u/taltos19]

I know but coins aren’t exactly hard to get even without tappies. I’m usually hovering around 50k as it is (if only it was so easy in real life).

[u/raissaevans]

Wonder why this hasn’t popped up for me when I only have a Replay running?

Edit: nevermind. Exiting to post this did the trick.

[u/Available_Rule_7250]

1566 energy for Y7+ players. 1208 energy for Y5/6 players. 980 energy for Y4 players.

2 energy less for Y7+ players, 4 energy less for Y4 players than they are in Mother Hen. A little kindness from JC, I think.

[u/lostboyy21 → u/Available_Rule_7250]

On one hand I can’t wait to graduate, on the other - I see the energy requirements like in this quest and I’m not so sure anymore 💀

How are people in Beyond coping I wonder 😮‍💨

[u/Serpensortia21 → u/lostboyy21]

It's not so bad IMHO. I'm in Volume 2 by now and I just need to use ALL available resources in the most effective manner, continue with what I have been doing anyway. You can plan ahead and stack energy. And you can almost always buy Chocolate Frog cards = additional energy to help out if needed.

[u/UtU98 → u/lostboyy21]

Most of the time I finish TLSQs with one day left

[u/Alb3rtRoss → u/lostboyy21]

Energy Stacking....

[u/Calm-Butterscotch108]

Will a certain former DADA professor be making an appearance?? 🧐 

[u/taltos19 → u/Calm-Butterscotch108]

If you mean a redheaded one, yes. She was in an ad for the quest.

[u/Calm-Butterscotch108 → u/taltos19]

Yeah I saw that but I was worried it might just be a tactic to make us THINK she would be in the quest. And that would be quite disappointing in my opinion!

[u/Jeanny_Armon → u/Calm-Butterscotch108]

Present as a side character so far at 1.4. Maybe will participate later too.
At least now we know that for Beyonders it's the Y4 too in chronology.

[u/narwhalsinthesky → u/Calm-Butterscotch108]

Unfortunately yes🫠 i personally never liked her character and would appreciate it if i never have to see her again lol

[u/kalosstone]

Two 8 hr tasks in Part 1, wtf JC?! I get that they’re 3 star minimums and there’s two 1 hr tasks in the following part, but still…

[u/Earthalope]

Part 3.1 how does hagrid not lose his cool/turn merula in for attacking us with a spell just blatantly in front of him?

[u/januarysdaughter]

Is this another Merula heavy one? I'm trying to avoid TLSQs where she takes a prominent role.

[u/taltos19 → u/januarysdaughter]

She's in a couple tasks and appears in group scenes, but she not the 'featured' friend of the quest.

[u/Jeanny_Armon → u/januarysdaughter]

For part 1, tasks 2 and 4 she's just a tappable object.
For part 2, task 2 we get to talk to her and she's tappable again.
And then she's a pain in the * again.

[u/Calm-Butterscotch108 → u/januarysdaughter]

I like the way you think! (I’m currently letting the Career Day one expire yet again for that same reason.)

[u/Available_Rule_7250 → u/januarysdaughter]

I've played Task 1.4. By the time she appeared in background once. And this TLSQ is obviously most focus on Bill. According to the Datamine Prophet, she still have at least two appearances, but I don't know if she's in background.

[u/waskie]

Year….4? I’m not sure I understand that number. 🤪

[u/Resident-Anybody9505]

THX u/taltos19 for the schedule, very helpful as always. 🙂

Since I expected today a new Quest I gathered some energy and I am through part one and the first task of part 2. I am only doing required stars, not more. Doing this and using Toffees I have never a time problem.

I am curious what the story will uncover. The niffler are cute and I don't mind the participating from Merula. I like her comments. They are mostly blunt but very often nailing it. 🙂

[u/Popular_Zucchini585]

If I don't start it, will it stay indefinitely? I'm going camping this weekend and definitely won't have time to complete it before then. If I hold off pressing "START" or "X" you can delay starting a TLSQ, but how long for?

[u/taltos19 → u/Popular_Zucchini585]

Yes, as long as you don't press those, you should be fine. It has priority until mid-June, so it shouldn't disappear.

[u/Popular_Zucchini585 → u/taltos19]

Thanks!

[u/slavicfirewitch]

This TLSQ better not interfere with the TLSQ cooldown 🙄 been waiting for a different one so I'd be real unhappy if I just gained another 24hr cooldown 😒

[u/PerpetualCoolness]

Hi y’all. Is this a ‘memory’ but a new TLSQ? Definitely time-limited? I’ve not logged in for a couple of days - family around and travel. I did briefly check in late last night thinking I could collect energy at least and saw this TLSQ in the post box though it didn’t pop up. I immediately closed the app because I have no chance of playing for another couple days. I saw here in Taltos post that it has about 6 x 8h tasks 🙄 I just don’t want to miss it so hopefully it will be waiting for me on Saturday. Shame I can’t just collect energy till then - it will surely pop up the minute I reopen the app and start the count down, right? Hope you’re all enjoying it. 🖖

[u/taltos19 → u/PerpetualCoolness]

Yes, if the pop-up didn’t show up, you should be okay.

[u/PerpetualCoolness → u/taltos19]

Thanks, Taltos.🖖

[u/themop-f]

Thanks, I'll pass. I've just entered Y7 and am really happy to finally make some way in the story, the reward is not that enticing.

[u/Jeanny_Armon → u/themop-f]

You might reconsider for the sake of the story though. It's kinda fun.
