Hogwarts Legacy: how to get a large pot

In addition to all of the magical and enchanted items you will collect as a student of Hogwarts, there are a few more mundane things you will need. It might sound strange, but some of these more mundane items can be the most tricky to find, such as large pots. Used for herbology, a large pot is mandatory for growing the game's most powerful plants. You will likely be drowning in small pots, but if you're stuck trying to find a large one, here's how to get it in Hogwarts Legacy.

Where to find large pots

Just like small pots, large pots aren't actually individual items, but are sold as part of a complete potting table. Here's where they're sold.

Step 1: Complete the introductory main mission of the game.

Step 2: Once you're able to explore, travel to Hogsmeade.

Step 3: Find the Tomes and Scrolls shop owned by Thomas Brown.

Step 4: Purchase the blueprint for either a potting table with one large pot or two. The former costs 1,000 Galleons and the latter 3,000.

Step 5: Return to the Room of Requirement, open the conjuration menu, select Herbology, and place your new table down. This will cost you 10 Moonstones to conjure.

Step 6: Note that you can only have a total of seven potting tables at any time, so you may need to remove old ones and replace them with your new large potting tables.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 changed how I look at fast travel in video games
The Arisen and pawns set out to explore Dragon's Dogma 2.

I never had reason to give much thought to fast travel in games before starting Dragon's Dogma 2. In most open-world games that include the feature, the only requirement for accessing it is reaching points of interest. Once players do so, they are generally free to zip from point to point around the map with little to no inconvenience. That isn't how Dragon's Dogma 2 operates -- fast travel is based around a limited currency called Ferrystones -- and it has completely changed my mindset on the mechanic as a whole.

There was a bit of buzz about how fast travel would be implemented prior to the game's release. "Just give it a try. Travel is boring? That's not true. It's only an issue because your game is boring. All you have to do is make travel fun," game director Hideaki Itsuno stated when speaking to IGN about Capcom's limited approach to fast travel in Dragon's Dogma 2. While I don't fully agree with that statement, I'll admit that Capcom didn't just make travel fun in Dragon's Dogma 2 -- it made it terrifying.
Slow and steady
I didn't even find the requisite item to fast travel until several hours into my playthrough, but by then, my mindset around navigating the world had been established. My first few adventures in Dragon's Dogma 2 felt somewhat similar to my first Souls game in the sense that I fell into the trap of approaching it like a more traditional open-world RPG to disastrous results. My initial big mistake was underestimating nighttime.

The Meowmere is intentionally hard to get, but you can save a lot of time by following these steps.

How to get Powdermelons

Like any crop you can grow in Stardew Valley, Powdermelons come from seeds. Once you have a melon itself, you can easily get more seeds from it, so the tricky part is finding that first set of seeds. Luckily, you have two options.
