Learn how to automate your Vivarium in Hogwarts Legacy by purchasing spellcraft recipes from Tomes and Scrolls. Discover what each item does and their costs.
Alright, so you've got your Vivariums up and running in Hogwarts Legacy, and now you're probably thinking, "How can I make this even easier?" Well, good news! You can actually automate a lot of the upkeep, which is super handy. You'll want to head over to Tomes and Scrolls in Hogsmeade to grab some special spellcraft recipes. These little gems can really streamline managing all your beasts and their needs.
Most of these items hover around the 1000 Galleons mark, so start saving up! Some will be available right after you get your first Vivarium, but one crucial item, the Breeding Pen, won't show up until you've finished the 'Foal of the Dead' side quest given by Deek. Don't miss out on these – they make a huge difference!
Vivarium Automation Items
There are four main spellcraft recipes you can buy. The Breeding Pen unlocks after you complete the 'Foal of the Dead' side quest for Deek. The other three can be bought anytime. If you want to grab all four recipes, it'll set you back about 3,700 Galleons in total.
| Vivarium Spellcraft Recipe | Use | Cost |
| Beast Feeder | Automatically provides feed to your beast without needing to be refilled. | 1200 G |
| Beast Toybox | Gives you access to a range of toys for your beast to play with. You can only take one toy out of the box at a time. | 500 G |
| Breeding Pen | Allows you to breed a pair of beasts and produce a baby every 30 minutes. | 1000 G |
| Dung Composter | Collects beast dung and turns it into fertilizer for your plants. | 1000 G |
Beyond these spellcraft items, your Vivarium also comes with some standard decorations. These are purely for looks, like paths and other cosmetic bits, and won't give you any special resources or help with automation. So, while they make your Vivarium look unique, focus on the spellcraft recipes if you want to make your life easier!
