Just did the quest that unlocked the ability to upgrade/add traits to gear, but it seems like a rather cumbersome system. You need to go catch beasts, release the beasts in your sanctuary, groom and feed them, etc. just to get the materials for upgrading, but the combat (while not too easy on Normal difficulty) is just not challenging enough (at least where I am at level 23) to encourage meticulous gear optimization, especially when you consider just how frequently you are finding new pieces of gear with better stats. Maybe this changes near the end game?
I also finally got Alohomora, so now in addition to being a poacher and bandit, I'm a thief that robs people's houses in the night!
Is there an easy way to find moons? I wander around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade at night, but this seems like a rather inefficient way to search for them.
