Hogwarts Legacy - Wish I Knew Sooner | Room of Requirement Guide, Tips & Tricks

[@nobuine5146]

One thing I would like to be able to do is to interact with furniture, like sit down in the chairs. It's a small thing, but that would make it feel more like a POH.

[@sechrima9998]

Elder Scrolls games really nail this aspect of immersion in open world games. I don't know why more developers don't include things like this.

[@Draidis]

​@Sechrima 3 reasons: Cost, Time and Difficulty. Done well (Like here and in Elder Scrolls games) it comes across as seamless and easy. It's not though, there is a reason all games like this are drowning in bugs. Not to mention the financial cost and amount of time it takes to build a world like this. I so love it when they do though.

[@babyfinesse_]

@@Draidis in this case as the animation itself already exists in game as we can see NPCs sitting for example. It would require some work but this means there’s for an animation that devs can access via an animation console/command. So hopefully we can see that implemented in a future patch or mod!

[@Draidis]

@FinesseArchon Indeed! I'm still very confident it will come in an expansion but if it doesn't, there is no way moders don't put it into the game. I've also heard that a sequel has already been approved. So, worst case, all else fails. There is always the future sequel, and thats an obvious content addition... but I really don't think it will take that long.

I just want to sit in the great hall and eat a chicken drumstick. It's the small things.

[@alistairt7544]

As someone who loves exploring, I never had issues with money, ingredients, and materials. Lots of chests to open, gears to sell, and moonstones galore. I reached level 33, and haven't even done Sebastian's quest to visit his sister in Feldcroft(I have it on my quest list lol). I just unlocked my vivarium and just learnt to catch(I mean save) creatures. There's so much to see and do in this game. I can't imagine already reaching endgame 😅

[@Outland9000]

Can you expand/improve the Vivarium before Sebastian's quest? At the moment I can only keep, I think its four different species in my Vivarium. I'm level 26 myself... I spend too much time exploring and collecting Demiguise statues. 😂

[@AlanDantes76]

@@Outland9000 I don't think expanding the vivarium is dependent upon Sebastian's questline. You can expand the vivarium 3 times, but they give you new areas, not increasing over 4 types of species.

The vivariums should be twice as big as they are now. You agree with me? 😆

[@MrSpleenboy]

A few things I've learned: The largest of each of the potting stations (5 small pots, 3 medium, 2 large) actually take up a considerably smaller volume in the space than the medium ones do, so skipping the mediums is totally legit 1. Unicorns and Thestrals don't seem to get along, try to keep them in separate vivariums 2. Hippogriffs scare Nifflers - they don't actively antagonize them, but the Nifflers will often run away from the Hippogriffs when they squawk and flap their wings 3. Kneazles seem to be super chill, and don't give a shit about any other beast type 4. I tried the dung composters, but they only increase the yield by 1 (i.e. 5 becomes 6). I didn't try any further than that, so I don't know if you can stack multiple fertilizers in one pot? I ended up just binning them, as the normal yield is plenty, unless you're on Bastard mode (which I've not tried yet) 5. Further to the point above, I found the cutting stations to be better value than fertilizer, but their output is random, like the hopping pot 6. Not related to ROR, but the lock mini game - the unlock positions almost always line up with the markers on the inner and outer rings on the mechanism (hopefully you'll understand what I mean when you look at the locks in game), so you can cut out a huge amount of twiddling just by going straight to the markers EDIT: Forgot to mention, the breeding beasts challenge doesn't actually require you to breed every single type of beast: I've yet to capture a Graphorn, and only have a female Unicorn, but have completed the challenge - it only requires 10 of the 12 breedable beasts to do (since there's only 1 phoenix and you can't breed it). Double edit: Actually, that's a point - If there's only one phoenix, and it's in your Vivarium, how are other merchants supplying it?!?

[@morganhough3856]

I didn't know about the unicorn/thestral and hippogriff/nifflers relationships! Thanks for your help, and I totally agree with the composters, definitely not worth it imo

[@AerisShenlin]

they must be sneaking into your vivarium and stealing your poor phoenix's feathers while you're out!

Extra section opens up: "Neat! let me just decorate it and put it full of planters and potion stations!" few quests later the room is fully decorated, I go in to pick up my potions and plants as usual when suddenly a whole new section opens up behind it. Making the room larger but also breaking up the infrastructure I created and removing half of my wall decorations. >:-(

Agreed. I just wish it worked before you got there. Not to be super lazy, but once you add the feeder to the vivarium, the animals should always be fed by default. So when you walk into the vivarium, you should only need to brush them.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

This is definitely and Explorer's game. Especially since you ONLY level up mostly through exploring...Sure there are a few combat achievements that give some XP, but it's not a Grinder's game. What I'd like to see is them making an MMO version, using the same world. let everyone have their own version of the ROR, and have them start as first years, learning spells more slowly (Seriously, your character in this game is so OP learning spells they'd give Hermoine Bloody Granger an inferiority complex...)

[@larrybedoya2794]

This is a basic beginner video, NOT a "Things i wish i knew earlier"

[@desolation1821]

I have to say, I love the concept and the functionality of the Room of Requirement. Both decoration options and gameplay options are brilliant. That said, it all has one flaw to me. And that is that while every potion and plant in this crafting system is useful, it's not used much. I'm one who loves to play in a way that I prepare for every eventuality and likes to use potions and on use items that give me the edge in combat. But with like one exception, I never really had to use any of it. Except for the healing potion, all other potions and plants just collected dust in my inventory. And that's because the game isn't really hard. Not even on hard mode. I barely ever died, and when I actually did die, I almost never needed more than another try to beat the boss. Me dying was mainly caused by not really trying too hard and just casually whiping the floor with the NPCs on screen. The hard mode in this game barely holds a candle to the easiest levels in Souls Games. And when I can easily manage anything the game throws at me first or (in some cases), second try anyway, using consumables feels like a waste, and not a helpful tool. Once you start approaching the higher levels, upgrade your gear a bit, and get the unforgivable curses, you walk like a god amongst men anyway. When I start a fight on my level 40 character, it feels like cheating because every enemy just melts, and I (if I ever get hit by anything) barely take any damage on Hard mode. What's the point of using potions then?

[@MrIanMatthew]

Yeah I have done my entire playthrough so far with only using wiggenweld. The only time I used other potions/items are for the quests that required it. They are neat but by no means necessary.

[@charlie-l7r]

same, I did the whole game with nothing but wiggenweld, and I never even thought of using other potions or plants bc combat is pretty easy once you get damage spells

[@50calBeowulf]

Important note about chopping stations and hopping pots: you need to have the seeds for chopping stations to produce the ingredients and the recipe for the hopping pots to produce a potion. They produce at random but from your characters known resources, i.e. you need to have purchased mallow sweet seeds to receive mallow sweet leaves from the chopping stations, still at random from your assets.

[@angelo423]

not true, the hopping pots produce any potion at random regardless of which recipes you own

[@50calBeowulf]

@@angelo423 that was not my experience, I didn't have enough to buy the recipe for thunderbrew after buying the spell craft for the hopping pot, I had the pot's hopping for must've been 10 brews and they only ever gave me potions of the recipes i'd bought. When I finally bought the recipe for thunderbrew it started showing up in my pots. Maybe I just had bad luck.

[@SmartphoneSorcerer]

​@@50calBeowulf "Barluck," the notion of bad luck, is a figment of imagination invented to find excuses for unfortunate events. No supernatural force influences our lives in such a way. It's simply a way for people to shift blame and avoid personal accountability for life's natural ups and downs.

[@tubelious]

@@50calBeowulf this was my experience also.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

@@tubelious Must be a bug fix they introduced when they fixed some other things. Like I notice they removed the ability to fast travel to the ROR directly. There's a floo flame in the door, but you can't use it. It used to crash my game when I'd try to fast travel there, so apparently they simply removed it from the map. Or maybe it's not on the map?

[@chriskorol4856]

I just wish I could at least sit in just 1 piece of furniture in the game, like even a chair in the common room. But it would be cool if you and friends could explore each other's rooms. Also PLEASE allow your mythical creatures to walk w you and even help fight in certain situations. Such a good game though.

[@keir0830]

I think the devs expect streamers to show off their designs and rooms to everyone. But everyone else who doesn't stream? We want to show it off somehow. I went all out on my designs lol but only my girlfriend gets to see when we take turns playing. There are a lot of missed opportunities in this game. Among those, being able to play MMO style with other people. Maybe one day we'll get a game like that.

[@SmartphoneSorcerer]

​@@keir0830no thanks! GMOs alter organisms, while MMOs secretly modify players' DNA through nanobots, granting virtual superpowers. Stay alert in the game world!

[@KyouOneZilla]

Actually got the hopping pots first and I barely ever had to make potions and got by with the 3 small potions stations and 3 hopping pots for a long time while getting the best of the other spellcrafts (2 Large Pots) and recipes/seeds first. Potions brew so fast you don't really need the T shaped station. So I only ended up using the T one for decoration late game as I was nearly always maxed out on potions. Farming money early is literally all about finding and selling gear before you run out of inventory space and is extremely easy to do since you can pretty much explore 2/3 of the world map basically right away. Pretty much had all my most expensive stuff out of the way before even getting alohamora which gives you easy access to an absurd amount of gear to sell.

[@jasonfoth14]

Wish we could interact with the beasts, similarly to how we can interact with the cats in the game. I hope they add this or use it in the future. I also second the idea of being able to interact with furniture, and just sit down. Especially in the commonroom and great hall :)

I hit level 18 right as I finished the quest to unlock talents, and right after went and got my room of requirements. I didn’t spend any money until that point and just sold my stuff that I didn’t need. Ended up saving a bunch and being able to afford the T shape planting station and Double large pot brewing station. It’s been really nice to have so many things running at once. I’d really recommend saving up early on so when you unlock the room of requirements you can spend the 3k on each of those big stations.

[@tofu6465]

Invisibility potion is used in combat as a defensive spell. Even without anything in stealth when you chug that potion enemies won't target you. So you got four seconds of full spell casting without return fire. Buy the ehancement talent and it's even longer.

[@WardenWolf]

I always buy the Material Refiner blueprint in my first batch of purchases and put them down first for this reason. I also ONLY buy the largest versions of each potting station, even if I have to put it off a bit longer, as anything else is a waste of money and space.

[@BojanZdjelar]

Breeding station is not juts for material and challenge. It is decent gold farm - 1700 gold per run So breed them and sell them :)

[@ChuaPotato]

*YOU MONSTER!*

[@AlanDantes76]

What do you need to buy in this game that you need so much money? lmao

[@shannonc9845]

For anyone wondering, I kind of went the opposite route and I got the hopping pots first, before I bought any other potion or potting plans. With three hopping pots going while I hung out in the room of requirement, and coming home to three random potions every time I had to come in to identify or upgrade gear or check on a vivarium, I always had all the potions I needed. I ended up adding two medium three pot potting stations for combat plants. I find that the Mandrake and the cabbages are the best and don't bother with the large potting table for the big one I forgot the name of right now. I think this saved me a lot of money in the long run , But the 3000 galleon spend early on did mean that I had to wait a little longer for a few other things. I also have been playing on normal difficulty and I don't use a million potions per fight. Just a few. One more tip on that - If you get the full amount of one of the potions and cannot collect that potion from the pot, just drink one and collect the potion so that it can make the next random potion.

[@monicawra2811]

These are great tips! The first thing I bought was the hopping station and large potting table (even before the broom). They were game-changers! I also kept the more used animal items (puffskein, etc) on the main floor, with the loom next to the vivarium) for ease of access, shaved off a few minutes here and there. Unrelated, threstrals with the Zoomies is pure joy.

[@wheelsndealz]

As soon as you get the invisibility spell just run around hogsmeade and collect the eyeball chests and you'll have enough money to buy all the important stuff there.

You missed the best part about breeding beasts in the vivarium... That you can sell all of the little offspring that you get at the beasts shop in Hogsmede for 150g each. I'm sitting over 30k gold right now, and that's with straight up buying gear from the vendor if I don't have that pattern unlocked for transmog.

[@elladar2]

Thanks mods i sell each for 1000g LOL

[@RedwoodTheElf]

By the time you can breed beasts, you should be swimming in Galleons like Scrooge McDuck. There's nothing to really spend your money on by this time, either. If you could get buffing candies and joke items from Honeydukes and Zonkos to add to your tab wheel, then money might have some use, but everyone is stinking rich by the endgame unless they don't use the ROR and go around buying potions and combat plants.

[@Sksk27547]

I like the broom more than the beasts with wings. The broom don't need food or water 😆

[@hurtme90]

Skip the single large planter and get the double large pot. Costs a bit but I got it over the single and the fertilizer maker and I love the ability to grow different plants in the planter as needed.

[@admontblanc]

Sometimes it's also nice to have these multiple pot/potion station tables if you want to farm more than 1 set of anything fast.

[@RedwoodTheElf]

I have all but one of my planters as double large pots. I have one "5 small pots" table for growing one of each of the small plants (Two Dittany, since I go through Wigenweld potions fast) and one 3-slot potion table. I never even made the 1 slot tables, as I had the 3 slot brewing table and the 5 slot small planters already by the time I got the ROR.

[@theresabranum1197]

Please don't stop doing what you're doing you are helping me out a lot other other things I have to do in Hogwarts legend

[@reniumrhenium75]

I usually farm eye-chests and then buy what I need. I tend to skip things I don't use often, such as venomous tentacula, invisibility potion or magic beast things. As for the rest, I usually put the refiner after buying maxima, focus and thunderbrew potions, because it will take that long to unlock the room of requirement, but the potions class is available in the first two hours of game, I also favorize Chinese cabbages over mandrakes, but I never buy a plant seed for a table I don't have, and I always buy the tables with the highest number of pots, hopping pots come last, mostly because I don't use potions often.

[@JRWest-kw8nv]

Id really like to stack items, interact w/them. Move things closer overlap when it makes sense, esp in the Animal sanctuaries. Why i cant put stairs on an actual structure? Or gate closer to the house? Id like the animals to interact w/conjured objects. Fwooper should be in the trees

[@Anotherguy1st]

Something I think people forget is you can harvest plants in the herbology classroom as well, that alone will provide your venomous tentacula stores until you can get the room of requirement setup to your liking.

I found out later on I needed to grow the mallowsweet bush. And stock up if you want to complete all Merlin trials! Also another tip is to sell unidentified gear. You get 200 coin each and you can always buy and upgrade. Most of the stuff you’ll discover is less than what you have equipped on

[@Cd3]

1 or 2 potting stations?.. you can throw down 7 of the same station. A fertilizer doubles the output of the singular plants though. Double mandrake, double venomous tantacular

[@aliciamadole]

New to this game so only just this, but I'm surprised you found the hopping pot to be useful. I found it to be my least favorite item, as it inevitably produces something I don't use and/or am always maxed out on (invisibility and healing potions). I also would have recommended the 5-pot medium station asap then the 2-pot large potting stations before the refiner or composter. Also worth mentioning you can also buy phoenix feathers from the vendor in Pitt-Upon-Ford in the North Ford Bog. Good tips! The RoR is such a fun piece of this game.

[@nicholasslepnikoff9771]

So I’ve been trying to find suggestions on what stations to purchase and which to leave alone (for the time being). Thank you for your guide as it helped me streamline my RoR and do away with the superfluous and expensive “unnecessaries”. While I know that the room opens up a lot after completing certain quests, space right now is at a premium, so having these suggestions helped me save that precious space, galleons and time overall. Will be looking into your other guides; and, if they’re anywhere near as helpful as this one, then I’m sure that my initial deep dive into this wonderful wizarding world will be absolutely amazing.

Some are in little houses all with a diff npc in with small little quest that doesn’t ever show on map. Won’t say anymore.

[@marcusshambach9425]

Been playing for 3 days at level 35. 86 percent completed. Maybe I would use more potions and stuff on hard mode idk but I had no problem being maxed out on potions and plants and other stuff. Noticed right away that if you didn't have the potion recipes the hopping pots only made what you knew; at least it did for me. Didnt get invisibility until after I purchased the recipe. Since the start I maxed out inventory on wiggenweld potions and never had to brew again hopping pots help out alot for me and you find quite a few of them In the world that I never lose to much stock in them. I straight out bought the largest of everything one of each and I'm doing pretty good. 5 small pots, 3 mediums and 2 large potting tables. Biggest pain to me is caring for the animals. 3 of each species is quite abit to go through. Would be cool if you had like an assistant that would care for them instead and could just collect the inventory. Even if the times would be increased I wouldn't mind at least I wouldn't have to check on them so much.

3:04 I got the same set up besides that my potion station at the bottom of the screen is put where the green hopper is facing diagonally towards the top right potion station and my seventh is where the blue hopper is facing the top left station while having a gap in the middle to obviously walked to the other potion station. (I got one station for each of the 6 potion I could craft pre-crafted when I need to restock , the seventh is where I would put for a respec potion, If I HAD IT, so for now I only use it for potions I used constantly, which is none) and my hoppers is on the other side of the room put close together on the middle wall while having the fertilizer pot on diagonally facing wall, and across both vertical walls are the mining station on one side and the chopping board on the other so that I can have my free gathering stuff in the same place. and I got the bigger room so my herbs station is 3 big 2 pot slots station across the middle wall, 1 medium 3 pot slots across the diagonal wall that would connect to the stone walls on both sides (close to the big pots) (and in the middle of the wood floor) 2 small 5 pot slots in front of the big pot stations (going vertically) across and have a space for a vertical chopping board in the middle of the 2 small 5 pot station

Definitely agree, my first playthrough I ended up needing to buy the potions to complete the quests for Sharp to learn his spells. But, later playthroughs, I was able to make them myself saving me some cash to buy spellcrafts later.

I always love these "wish I knew sooner" videos. That's all part of the game is trying to figure things out and exploring areas without hints. At least that's my opinion.

Thank you for this video. I kept wondering would I have to keep buying seeds. Thanks

[@JoeBuenoA]

Nice video! I would argue: get the T shaped Potions table, then the Chopping Stations and Hopping Pots asap. Once you have those, save to get the 2/3-pot tables of different sizes. In my experience, exploration+Chopping Stations get you enough herbs by far, then Hopping Pots are just constant free potions. Therefore the earlier the better! I barely had to brew potions and harvest herbs with those two. And I agree with other comments: I love experimenting with potions and combat plants, but they’re not really necessary, which is a shame. I end up having way too many, and I cannot even pick up what I potted. Dung composters and material refiners are nice additions, but definitely optional ones. By the time I started using fertilisers, I was already around the max per combat plant, so not really necessary either.

[@OldCampos]

I have now more combat plants than, I have to continually the ones I have and I'm always maxed out! It's great. I need to improve my potion production though

[@TheMiddlingGamer]

Very useful advice here, setting up the RoR properly will give you infinite potions and plants. Chugging all 4 potions at the same time (along with their respective talent upgrades) will make even boss fights a cake walk

[@myria2834]

My first upgrade was to unlock the 5 small plant station. I almost never remember the combat plants, so I just focused on healing. I try to keep 20 potions on hand, just in case I stumble on a particularly hard enemy.

[@HotaruChuu]

Dude if I'm honest i didn't use a single talent point for the chamber, nor have i had the need to brew any potion... I only played with spells during the fights and i gathered material and plants randomly while exploring and it was more than enough 🥲 Never had to farm moonstones etc, i only bought all the stations because I wanted to unlock them in my inventory but that's about it haha The only thing worth farming is the mellowsweet for the merlin's trials.... and the beasts. But you don't have to try too hard honestly, regular visits gets you plenty of material ;;

Once you have maxxed out on potions and battle vegetables it becomes less useful; invisibility potion also has limited use for people who have a stealth playstyle because you can functioning go invisible with disillusionment

[@TheBaldr]

I went total stealth, but it does require a lot of troll killing and the three hopping pots, but they do make it make it so some fights can not be stealth, some mandatory fights can be cheese stealth by walking away then coming back as stealth. However if you pop every potion and throw down some Venomous Tentacula, even the toughest bosses go down pretty easily.

[@adrianaltamira4896]

[@UnfilteredMedic]

Don't ignore the plants and potions. The L1 can turn a fight or potential loss into victory. For those that have the PS5 Exclusive Felix Felisis potion: Don't ignore it. One item needed to craft it is rare unless you get the seeds from a vendor in Hogsmeade. Get is asap. Aside from the starting plant and potion stations, save up for the best. 3 Tier/3 pot/cauldron tables and the former with large pots. The Chopping tables are a good investment as well as the Fertilizer. Sadly you can NOT sell plants or potions but these alt items are all useful. Get the first Vivarium asap. Shiny creatures have ZERO benefit over the rest. A lot of Duelist Requirements for more XP require use of plants and potions as do some side quests which net more spells.

Going to do a second run of the game on a much harder difficulty. Outside of combat challenges I dont think I ever used a potion or plant on my first play through.

[@idrow1]

How do you have so many tables? I put 6 or 7 tables/stations in and then it said I had no more budget for anything else. Even if I got rid of one of the tables, I couldn't conjure another one because of the budget issue. And I hadn't even gotten my table to reveal the mystery gear I picked up. I wish I knew I was limited before I started adding tables and stations.

[@AnthonyScottGames]

Didn’t really need any f the potions or plants on my first playthrough on default difficulty. Gonna jack up the difficulty for second playthrough.

Dunno how or why anyone is struggling with items or money in this game 🤷‍♂️ I feel everything is super easy and there's more than enough stuff to loot just exploring. I'm lvl 30 and just unlocked my Hippogryph 🤣 Haven't had to upgrade anything at all so far. 🤷‍♂️ Playing on normal too. Absolutely love this game though. Not a boring too easy which is nice.

[@willa.johnson4424]

Oh this is so helpful. Excellent guide!

I completed the game 100% and besides the mandatory mission requirements I never used any potions or plants. They really don't do much in my opinion. The game is easy enough even on thr hardest difficulty.

[@ritwikjs]

mandrakes and venemous tentacula are pretty useless in battle and will only complicate things. Just have enough for edurus potions, focus potions, and CCC. Thunderbrew's are very useful, but i'd rather buy those because shrivelfig fruit is just something i forget to plant often

[@edwardingram3387]

Thank you so much for the break down

[@cassandranightshade696]

The fun part is that i managed to get to level 32 without using any potions with the exception of the ones needed to complete some of the professor assignments. I never even upgraded any of the potion talents. No use for them yet. I'm curious to see if that will change at all the more i progress within the storyline.

[@Shiftry87]

1 thing i wished was diffrent in the Hard mode is the amount of Wiggenweld potions u could carry or removing the auto generating HP after a battle. U can carry 25 Wiggenweld potions and imo that is way to many especially for hardmode. U already have the hp regen from picking up the ancient magic orbs that generate with each 10hit combo u get so there are already ways to regain hp and all the other potions and plants have a max limit of 12 u can carry. For normal mode its okey, but in hardmode there should not be this many ways to regain hp. I have started to ignore the auto regain after battle by instantly using a Wiggenweld potion instead to try and avoid it. If u have an auto hp regain system after a battle u should not be able to stack that many Wiggenweld potions. I also think they went wrong in what ends up as the players primary way to earn galleons in the game. Any players main way to earn galleons is gonna be to sell gear and imo u get way to mutch for selling gear compared to selling beasts. Selling a Mooncalf or a Fwooper for 120g maybe abit to mutch but sure i can se that, but a Unicorn or a Hippogriff for 120g not a chans, a Unicorn horn alone cost 700 from vendors. There should have been a mutch more focus on earning galleons from selling diffrent rarity beasts instead of gear so the breeding pens would serve any good use. Unless something new opens up late game i have bought almost everything except for some diffrent brooms and i still have 10k galleons and i havent even unlocked the 2nd trial yet. The amount of galleons u get from selling gear is just way to high especially when considering how mutch gear u get. U get so many galleons that u dont even need to rescue beasts in the first place and if u dont limit yourself from buying resources from merchants the whole beasts section of the game becomes irrelevant.

[@sonnyofox6413]

My OCD to have max upgraded gear at most times stopped me from continuing the story and turned me into a Wizard Zoologist lol.

[@arcaneusumbra1539]

Tbh it's really worth using fertilizer on the combat plants, since they only produce 1 at a time, not worth using on other plants.

[@Justin.Franks]

Don't bother with the single-station potting tables due to the artificial limits on them. (even if you have enough moonstones, you can't conjure more than 7 of each size potting table). Save up for the 5-station small, 3-station medium, and 2-station large tables.

[@matthewtucker2103]

I like the room, but it should be called "the room of easy mode" I set up a potion factory in my room, and maxed out all my potions and even got to the point where I no longer needed them. The farmed beast materials to upgrade your gear were simplicity itself to get. When you first get the vivarium and you go with Deek to get the started run of beasts, you get 2 of each. You just need a male and a female to get started. It won't take too long to get a stockpile of these items. Tracking down the unicorn is easy as pie. The only annoying ones to get are the grapehorn and the phoenix. These two are only available at the end of the game. Until then, throw some coin at the brood and peck in Hogsmeade or any other beast vendor. You'll have Legendary gear fully upgraded with the best traits in no time.

[@jusatin]

The room of requirements was an absolute waste of time IMO. You don't need any potions at any point in the game. The same can be said for the enhancements for the gear. Just something to make you grind a bit longer.
