Rinse and repeat!
Armor Traits Explained
An important thing to note about Armor traits is that they are multiplicative. This means they get stronger the more you equip your armor. You have 6 slots in total and generally want all 6 to be uniform for maximum results. So don’t be shy in stacking the same one, assuming you have the material. Hogwsmead Brood and Peck has materials for sale if your beast taming isn’t up to a high enough level.
How do Armor Traits Work in Hogwarts Legacy Spell Build?
Armor traits are unlocked after a specific main story quest (The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom). This can be anywhere from level 15-25, depending on how much focus you give the main story. Once unlocked, you will have access to a loom where you can change traits at the cost of beast materials. The beasts can be unlocked, captured in the wild, and brought back to your room of requirement for harvesting materials needed for traits.
Next, you will need to find bandit camps and clear the enemies and loot a chest. This will give you random trait from ones you don’t have. You can save just before opening and load for the desired trait. Then, use this method or roam multiple bandit camps and collections through story activities.
Talentsgive a permanent bonus to your character and cannot be changed. These are also unlocked through a main story quest around level 10 (Jackdaws Rest Quest). Your character will start earning one talent point at level 5 up to level 40.
Consumables Explained
Potionsandplantsarrive very early in the game and are strong aids in combat. Once you start to unlock the room of requirement and beast taming through themain story quest, you will be able to farm a lot of materials making the mats much easier to obtain.
What’s Max Level In Hogwarts Legacy?
The max level in Hogwarts Legacy is 40. It takes a very long time to reach that level. Also, consider that you may complete the main story and still progress your character. In fact, you’ll want to progress and/or finish most of the main story because it will unlock the critical systems needed to maximize your build.
