Unlocking the quest
This mission forces you to buy your own broom. To do this, you need to complete the Flying Class main quest and visit the Spinwitches Sporting Needs in Hogsmeade. The owner of the shop - Albie Weekes - will want to you to share your impressions of the broom so he can improve it.
Rewards for completing the quest
- XP;
- Broom Upgrade - you need to buy it; the upgrade let's you fly faster;
- Sweeping the Competition side quest unlocked.
Speak with Imelda Reyes at the Quidditch pitch
The Quidditch field is next to Hogwarts. Imedla is one of the students. Confirm that you want to participate in the broom time trial.
Place in the Quidditch pitch Broom trial
The time trial is not very difficult, but try to practice flying faster on the broom beforehand. You especially need to practice making precise turns on the broom. The time to beat is 2 minutes 20 seconds, but a good flyby can be done in about 1 minute 45 seconds. Here are some tips:
- Be sure to fly through the next rings. Skipping a ring adds a time penalty.
- Try to fly through the yellow spheres. However this is not required to pass the test, so don't worry if you miss some of them.
- Only use speed boost if you are flying straight. Using it greatly reduces turning.
You can repeat the trial, and after completing it, check the list of the best players (you don't have to be 1st).
Return to Albie Weekes
Return to the broom shop in Hogsmeade to share your flight experience with Weekes.
You won't get the broom upgrade right away. You'll have to wait until you receive a message from Albie (owl mail). In our case, the letter arrived in the mailbox after completing the first trial in the main story.
After receiving the message, return to the shop in Hogsmeade. You can buy a broom upgrade for 1,000 gold. You can also unlock a side quest related to the second broom upgrade.
