Where in tarnation is Krokenkahmen? I'm at the map location, but nobody is there but guards.

Do a little exploring in Colossus Blvd near Mindy Pixiecrown.


Happy Wizarding!

Wow. I would have had NO idea that was there. VERY cool! I'm now convinced that Myth gets all the luck. Ah, maybe my next wizard combo.

On another note. I saw a few people casting a spell that (according the the library) is part of the Fire School. It adds life to you and takes fire from your enemy over several rounds, like a Fire Elf plus a Sprite spell. I know you can buy it as a treasure card, but does anyone know how one would get that. Is it like the minions for other schools?

The spell you are asking about is called Link. It is earned by Fire Wizards sometime while in Wizard City - I forget the exact level. The basic spell does a total of 180 pts of damage and 120 pts of healing. This is spread out over 3 rounds so 60 damage and 40 heal per turn.

When you use the feint spell it makes the next spell you cast on an enemy 70% stronger, however the next spell cast on you by an enemy will be 30% stronger!

I was having a problem using this spell, I think it's bugged.. when I would cast it, it would also make the enemy's spell stronger by 70%, rather than 30%. I'm not sure if they fixed the bug yet; I took the spell out of my deck and haven't used it since.

I was wondering if there were any people interested in a grubb run? If there were a few of us all trying to advance that quest maybe we could help each other out? My understanding is you need at least an hour and a half to two hours to complete it, so keep that in mind before commiting.

You don't get a staff from Sunken City/Grubb. Headmaster Ambrose should reward you with a staff once you have finally dealt with the gobbler problem on Colossus Boulevard and saved Wizard City.

I've done Sunken City several times and can probably help out on a Grubb run anytime this weekend. Is anybody interested in Tomb of the Beguiler? We could schedule a time for that, too.

Lastly, my Pyromancer just got the Katzenstein's Lab quest from Watson in Marleybone. For those who don't know: the Lab, unlike Grubb or the Beguiler, is NOT a side quest. It's part of the main story and you cannot progress until you have completed it. (It also happens to be one of the most grueling, unpleasant instances in the entire game!) If there is anybody who wants to help out, I could certainly use it and would wholeheartedly appreciate it!

Happy wizarding! :wizard:

I also need the Beguiler run as well, but have the same problem Octopie has been having, that dratted internet connection thing. lol Sure makes getting any long runs in difficult! ;)
However, I'm always game to try helping someone, too.
So katzenstein's lab is bad? How bad?! lol I must admit I haven't been in there yet.

Ok you can either wait till you get permission to cross over to
Chelsea court or have a friend take you.

I was at level 30 before I got permission to take the air balloon the Chelsea.

Be warned it is a difficult fight, you have to do it alone and you have no time to change cards once you see the character. I went in totally unprepared with all the wrong cards. Thank goodness I stock pile 175+ power cards (I buy them in 20's rofl and Meteor about 10 at a time. Only way I get through some of the nasty on Hyde park and Chelsea.

I found with the bone collecter there were two quests that joined ending at him. Once I finished the second one I was able to get into bone collect.

My question is I have a nice Ice Guardian but everytime I cast a shield or anything that is to protect/heal me he gets it. What am I doing wrong or does this happen to all.

I make sure I click on me. So now unless I have lots of shields I do nto bring him out. :)

goldengourd
08-06-2008, 02:04 PM
Yes, I'm having the problem too with my ice guardian. I thought I would try to click the title banner instead of on my character, but haven't experimented with that yet. He passes a lot, then his spells fizzle, then he steals my shields, that he hasn't been worth the pips to cast him very often.

LafChill

Welcome to DIS, Valdus! Glad you found our happy little Wizard community.

Of course, I'd appreciate your help with the Lab (and the Counterweights, and Big Ben, etc., etc.) ;)

So katzenstein's lab is bad? How bad?! lol I must admit I haven't been in there yet.
Have you seen the clockwork Gearheads in Chelsea Court yet? The ones that run around in circles near the tower? Well, if you take those, multiply them by a thousand, set them running in all kinds of crazy patterns, and crank up their speed several notches, you'll get some idea of what you will be facing in the Lab.

I don't get caught by street mobs often, but it was almost impossible (at least initially) to move 3 steps in the Lab without being pulled in one street fight after another. My Conjurer completed it with Diva of Dragons several weeks ago -- it took us a couple hours -- and now my Pyromancer's number is up. At least this time I know what to expect. :dance3:

FYI, I've heard Kensington is even worse than the Lab, but since it's a side quest, I've held off on doing that one so far.

I am also available to help out with battles and quests if anyone needs help. I am not very good at remembering where everything is, or not getting caught on the roofs of Marleybone, but if you need someone to jump in the battle once you get there, just let me know.

It has been a bug for a while with your minion stealing shields and blades. If you click on the name banner instead it doesn't seem to be a problem for me.

I have a Water Elemental (Storm). My Minion LOVES to steal my shields and anyone who's fighting me shieids. At first I thought I had a pretty dumb minion. Then I started to realize that he gathers all these shields and then taunts the heck out of the enemies. He takes on the strongest guys first. So, now that I understand him, I like him a lot. Isn't that the way it always goes?

I actually thought it was built that way, not a bug. However, it really doesn't make sense for him to have Blades since he doesn't cast any attacks other than taunting. He stole my life shield several times when I could have used it. Stupid Shield Stealing Minion. ;)

My dad is on W101 (as well as the DIS boards). We like to run around together and do quests in the evenings. He's got the Golem Minion, the Troll Minion and the Cyclops Minion. Those minions (Myth) are fighters. However, they don't get as much life as mine so they are normally out in a few turns. I've also had his Cyclops cast Sprites on me to get my life back when I'm the lead one being hit. Very cool!

With a few good Taunting Minions and Fighting Minions, who needs to fight themselves. :) Lay back and sip some lemonade! :)

PrincessNoelle
08-07-2008, 08:31 AM
OK, I am a level 14 on my second wizard. I have just finished Colossus Blvd and now have quests for the Haunted Cave, such as, the Grubb one. I can't get into the cave by myself! I have to sign in my daughter's wizard who is a higher level to get me into the cave. Plus, I only have one potion bottle which is becoming very inconvenient. Before when they did the reset on my first wizard I was a level 6 and advanced up to a level 14. At that point I had three potion bottles and skipped the rest of the Wizard City quests.

What am I missing in order to be able to get into the Haunted Cave by myself and when do I get the additional potion bottles?

LittleWoodenHead
08-07-2008, 08:45 AM

I did my first Grubb run at level 16. There were only 3 of us in the group, too, so it's certainly do-able.

You'll primarily be fighting a lot of Death monsters, so if you have Death shields, make sure they're in your deck. Also, load a number of healing/defensive cards -- Pixies, Spirit Armor, etc. -- in your Treasure Card slots. Leave out any offensive spells. That way, you'll know where to reach a heal if you need one and won't have unnecessary spells in the way.

Remember: Once you've entered Sunken City with a group, you can jump back to them even if you've been defeated, so all is not lost.


What am I missing in order to be able to get into the Haunted Cave by myself and when do I get the additional potion bottles?
Do you have Sunken City/Grubb or Haunted Cave? They are two different places. If you have Sunken City, then you need to talk to Marla at the entrance before you can go inside the first time.

You need to finish all of the main Wizard City quests and get access to Krokotopia before you get another flask. (You don't receive a third flask until you get to Marleybone.)

My Life spells rock against the Death monsters in the Grubb quest. And last night, I leveled up to 33, which meant I got a really cool new power spell:

This is so strange. I was only on level 10. The only thing I miss is my friends list. I am now Tara MoonCatcher. I took a different last name incase I can get my other one back.

IIRC, it's in Stormdrain Tower at the far end of the Haunted Cave. You'll have to fight Lord Nightshade to get to it.

I think it is in the tower across from the Death school in the haunted cave in Wizard City.
So there's no confusion: The Death School is located in the Nightside, not the Haunted Cave. They are two different places.

On Krok Island, I have the quest for Stonechin and have been looking all over the Colosseum for him with no success. I have searched everywhere in the Grand Arena as well.

The Sun Gate, where the Arena Master says he is supposed to be, is not marked on the map. According to the map icon, he should be somewhere between the two passageways back into the Grand Arena street areas, but there is not even a gate there. I already defeated the Wild Sunbird, which is still inside the only open gate I can find in the Colosseum.

On top of that, I just got an error bug for the "Father Dearest" quest. Wonder if the two problems are related.Ok. I just went and spent every penny I had buying cards from the library. But I can't use them in battle or anything! Help?Those are one-time use gold treasure cards. You must click on the gold card tab in your cards and add them separately to your deck. To use one in battle, you must right-click one of your regular cards, click "discard", then click "draw", which will make one of your treasure cards available for use, providing you have enough pips to use it.

So there's no confusion: The Death School is located in the Nightside, not the Haunted Cave. They are two different places.

Sorry, yes, that was part of my confusion earlier. I was supposed to be in the haunted cave on Triton Ave, not trying to get into Nightside. Since I got that straightened out (thanks to my 12 year old!), I can finally get into Nightside. :wave2:

On Krok Island, I have the quest for Stonechin and have been looking all over the Colosseum for him with no success. I have searched everywhere in the Grand Arena as well...The Sun Gate, where the Arena Master says he is supposed to be, is not marked on the map...
The last time I looked at the map for the Grand Arena some of the characters were shown in the wrong place. However the Arena Masters instructions were right. You just had to look at the obelisks by the gate and they would have a picture of the gates name (snake, sun, etc.).
...Those are one-time use gold treasure cards...To use one in battle, you must right-click one of your regular cards, click "discard", then click "draw", which will make one of your treasure cards available for use, providing you have enough pips to use it.
Is this a change? I have always just right clicked on a card and it would be automatically discarded.

Thanks for the very helpful advice from many of you on the grubb stuffs :)

So besides holding onto death shields and removing my offensive cards from the special deck any other tips?

I am myth, I assume I want 4 characters with me so I should leave my minion and related cards out of the deck as well?

Anything else I should take into consideration?

It's very easy to get pulled into battle from the sidelines. I go verrrrrrrry slowly in there, and try to let the monsters pass me before I try to move a little.

As a myth wizard, you'll likely find the first battle (right inside the entrance) to be amongst the most challenging. You'll be up against a slew of myth-based spectres with high resistance to your spells. Prepare your deck beforehand accordingly -- myth shields, myth prisms, etc. You can always take a moment to change it again once you're safely past them.

If you have a full team of 4, then there would be no place for your minion anyway, so use those card slots for spells you might actually use. If you have less than 4 on your team, however, you might consider keeping them in the deck.

Because you are in an instance, what one member of your team accomplishes, the whole group accomplishes. For example: not everybody has to talk to Marla on every occasion once inside. As soon as anyone does it, it counts for everybody and you should all then receive the next task. Knowing this can save your group a lot of unnecessary (and potentially dangerous) running around.

You just had to look at the obelisks by the gate and they would have a picture of the gates name (snake, sun, etc.).I did finally find Stonechin through the Sun Gate; the first gate on the left. When checking previously, I think the sign indicating the Mullethead character instead of Stonechin showed up in the entrance to that spot, which was why I missed it. But Mullethead may have actually been accessed through the Snake Gate after I finished with Stonechin. (Not sure about that; it got very confusing. I just remember opponents being in different locations than stated.)Is this a change? I have always just right clicked on a card and it would be automatically discarded.Oops, my goof. It's still discarded automatically. I have trouble remembering the interface when it's not right in front of me.

Since it's so easy to get pulled into battle here, it's best if only one member of your team walks to the next task, rather than the whole group going. Then when that person gets there safely, the rest can teleport to him/her. Like LittleWoodenHead mentioned, the whole group will advance to the next task when one person completes the current one.

I have to do the Grubb quest as well so if there is another group getting together, count me in.

I recently bought another card deck but I have found that my starter deck seemed to work better for me. Sure I can carry more cards with the second deck but my healing pixie never seems to show up anymore when I need her whereas with the starter deck she was always there. I try to keep the 0 - 3 pip cards in my deck since I don't really need the higher ones at this point. What is the best strategy for a card deck?

Hi everyone!

Wow, there is alot of posts to float thru. It would be nice if maybe we could divide it into quests help and than general game. I know that takes work but it would sure help.

I have some questions about a couple of things. I have magic "cards" in my magic area but I can't load them with the rest of my magic cards and they don't come up in a fight??

Also, what is the "potion" and how do you use it?

What land does everyone play in?

When your deck comes up in battle right click on one of those cards and the
'draw' button will come up beneath them. Some of the other deck cards might come up then, usually don't for me:) but in the next round when you pick some of them may come up then. Hope that helps some and welcome to the boards!

One of the changes in this build required us to rebalance the experience needed for leveling table, and the experience reward of many of the quests.

As a result, you may log in to find yourself at "negative" experience, like -2000/4000 experience to next level. This means you will have to earn an additional 6000 experience to eliminate this "debt" and gain your next level -- but before you get upset, realize that we also almost doubled the amount of experience that you get from quests, so the overall gain will be in your favor.

We elected not to do a wipe, and instead just allow players to overcome the negative experience number on their own. I think (hope) that you all will understand... this is beta, and sometimes things have to change for the betterment of the game. It can be a bit rocky at times, but the end result should be a better game for everyone.

Thanks for your patience.

I can't log in til tonight, so I don't know how this will effect my wizards, but this adjustment is not making much sense to me.

According to the update release notes, there are quests that I completed long ago that now have experience rewards attached (for example, a lot of quests on Krokosphinx Island). So how can people who did those quests earlier for NO reward be in an experience deficit now? I'm not understanding the math here. :confused:

We elected not to do a wipe, and instead just allow players to overcome the negative experience number on their own.
Unless the MooShu quest offerings have been significantly increased, how are those wizards who have completed the limited quests there expected to overcome the deficit??? Without the experience payoff of quests, it will take forever to defeat enough things to get to your next level.

It sounds to me like they really wanted to do a wipe and have us all start over again. There were a lot of good things added to the earlier parts of the game: A Training Point for merely completing the Enrollment quest. More & better item drops from monsters (including pets!). Added inventory in the Wizard City shops. Etc., etc.

I know it's beta, but it seems to me that those of us who have been on the game the longest and have made the most progress are now being penalized with negative experience points and loads of missed opportunities.

I am not liking the sounds of this AT ALL. :mad:

They have increased the payoffs for the MooShu quests.. each quest is now giving around 2100XP. When I signed on I had a defecit of over 10,000 but I was able to get out of it pretty quickly.

They fixed the Crimson Fields quest and we can now go further into the storyline. However, I ran into another bug in Kishibee Village and the storyline stops again. :sad1: I was just in the game and got a message that the servers are going down now for a quick fix, so maybe they'll fix it.

Be aware that no matter how careful you are walking, there are some areas that will always pull you into a street fight. In my mind, there are 2 approaches when this happens:

1) Stay together and fight the bad guys as a team, or
2) Have 1 person sacrifice themselves so that the others can get past and then flee the fight. Then either heal over time or use a potion to rejoin the others.

It works both ways and sort of depends on how you want to handle it.

There are lots of other helpful tips that have been shared - I'm sure the run will be a success.

Can I ask what the most effective way of getting your health back and mana back while in grubb if you get defeated? Tonight we are doing a run and I want to be able to get back as soon as possible to help when defeated
You'll be back in the Commons, so you could either (a) catch blue wisps for mana while you heal naturally; or (b) empty a flask and then refill it from the Potion Vendor in the Fairegrounds.

Somehow "Kenneth: (LittleWoodenHead) ended up with -40,000!!!! Not a happy camper.
That's putting it mildly. :furious:

At least Kenneth finally got his new level 38 minion last night and I finally, finally got my level 38 storm spell.
I'm glad I could focus on the minion quest initially, and not on all the blasted experience points I needed to earn. Wanting to see him in action is one of the things that kept me in the game last night.

The other thing was the support of my good friends there (and here, of course). They listened to me rant, and gave me support and encouragement when I needed it most. You ALL are the real reason I didn't just give up and chuck the game for good. I couldn't bear the thought of losing yet another group of virtual friends. One VMK a year is more than enough for me.

:thanks:

And is it true you can leave and get mana and health and still come back if the rest of the group is alive and still there?

Yes, you can return via teleport. If there are only two people playing, be sure you are on the same page and only one of you leaves. :rotfl:

Maybe there is another way... but I always assumed that people were using their potion bottles to restore health and mana and then returning to the game immediately.

I made over 40,000 XP yesterday. I was -20,000 out of 23,000. Just doing the quests after Crimson Field. I was able to level up to Master Necromancer.

With the double XP rewards, it's not that bad. Definitly better than a wipe.

Aengus, you can also refill the bottles in the minigames. We must make sure we coordinate so we can flee and rejoin. Also, the wizard I am bringing is life so, while you and Golden focus on offense, I'll try to keep us healed. I can do some offensive too but I have a group heal as well as individual heal I can bring to the effort.

Have you decided the time yet?

So I warned all the family they are on their own for dinner - or anything else - tonight and will meet up with you all by 7pm eastern (4pm for this pacfic time person). I have a minor in life so have quite a few life spells too, and sheilds, but will make sure I have plenty of attach cards in the deck. Now if I can just get the cards to come up right, the pips to build, and the fizzle to leave me alone, we'll be fine. I have done a bit of the run a before, so will know at least some of where to go, I hope.

just use minigames, Aengus, to fill potions. If you use concentration and manage to get to level 4 it usually fills the potion bottle all the way.

I've been working all day on a wikia site for Wizard 101. Can I get some help out here? I didn't realize how complicated it would be until I started and I hate leaving things unfinished. At this rate, I'll get the first 20 quests written up in about 2010. Anybody with wiki or wikia experience who can help set up templates? I'm quite lost with it.

The site is at wizard101.wikia.com

A wikia is easier to use than a forum for quest help, provided you have people willing set up the pages.

Yeah we did it. Funny thing was I did not realize we were fighting the last fight rofl.

When people say fill up with extra gold heal cards do not buy 15 of them. I still have 12 left.

Aengus had an awesome frog boy is he gross though.

Aengus just sell most of you clothes it does add up fast If you want some gold pixie cards come see.

We did it in under 2 hours and it really was fun and not bad at all. But I am sure it helped that 2 of us were at level 31 ice and the other two were level 18 life and level 21 life :)

You really need a life person with you makes it less stressful. It was a great team

This sounds like a really neat idea.. I've worked with wiki's before and they are a pain for me, but some people LOVE them. Not sure about the wikia format, maybe it's easier.

Be sure when you are working with it to keep things as hints so that people still have to figure things out while they play. As my dad has always said "Why play the game if you are just going to cheat". :)

The Trophy Room is just past the arena. Continue straight down the hall to the instanced room, instead of turning right into the arena.

The complete solution to the kiosk puzzle that makes the chest appear is supposed to be revealed to you before you head farther into the room.

It could be that you needed to take a step or two in from the entrance, so that the room "registered" you as being in it (in the same way that Bosses won't issue a pop-up challenge until you advance a bit). The solution, however, will disappear if you take more than a handful of steps.

Up to the Counterweights and Big Ben, i did almost every thing alone without much difficulty. The counterweights and Big Ben I did with wizards the same level as me. Except for the last fight.

I "flew" through MooShu with Momie (Olivia Lightsong) and help here and there from AZCat (Padric Firestalker). That went quite fast. :rolleyes1

Most of the bugs that I encountered then were fixed. Like the first time i did the Grubb run we could not aim at the Pumkin head scarecrows. So it's hard to say for me how it is now.

I have done everything alone so far except for Grubbs, in which some random (but wonderful) person entered with me for no apparent reason other than to help some other random person. Thankfully, because, at the time, I had no idea what I was in for! And I have only tried the Beguiler once, but have realized that in order to do it alone, I will have to rethink my strategy (although I have considered begging the people going on Tuesday if I can join them...).

I have to say, though, that except for one quest that didnt work until I accepted a different one, I have not encountered any problems at all. I have seen some grammatical errors, and had a Mander talking to me that had Prospector Pete's picture, but nothing that required me to start anything over, without getting defeated, of course.

Has anyone else been having more issues since the last big update on Aug 8? I have been in battles where all of a sudden I'm not participating anymore and I am just getting beat up. In Wizard City, there was a guy running in circles backwards. I came back later and he was still there running backwards. I sometimes look like I am holding my wand but there is nothing there. I got stuck in a black hole behind the ice school yesterday. When all of these things occur, I try to exit out and it won't work. I have to hit Alt F4 to get completely out of the game and then start again. :confused3

I did not notice that it became worse, i thought it stayed the same. I was caught in a black hole (or rather blue since the ground became all blue) in Crimson Field before the update. I did not go back to see if it was still there. But i did not have to leave the game, i just teleported to a friend.

Yesterday, there was a problem in the tomb of the beguiler. My friends saw me as half way buried in the ground up to my waist. And I was seeing them outside their circles during a fight.

Help Wanted - Knight's Court Clock Tower

Several of your fellow DISers need your help!

The last update wiped the Marleybone History Book Quest out of our spellbooks, including credit for all the books we had found. Although we have been given the quest to start over again from scratch (what fun!), the location of the Knight's Court book is closed to us.

It looks like we need to enter the central Clock Tower with somebody going in for the first time. If you are doing, or about to do, the Knight's Court quests, please let us know. We would greatly appreciate it!

During our grub run the other day, we lost a member of our team that could no longer participate. She teleported back to us a couple times after the battle and eventually was back with us and fortunately got to finish the quest.

Yes, I've noticed the battles are uneven now. The monsters seem to be able to shield up and hit me with traps and wham! out come the killer spells! Seems all I can do anymore is hold out for a pixie or pray a shield comes up in my deck and I spend most of my battle time either healing or waiting to be defeated, not doing much damage at all. I also noticed that my 100% accurate wand blasts are no longer 100% accurate! The fizzle rate has increased on all of my spells. This has decreased the fun I was having trying to solo through Krok immensely.
As for the disappearing wand, that has been a long standing bug in the game.

I met the director of the game last night, he seemed very nice and we talked for about 15 minutes because he had to go to work. I told him about VMK and he said that they already knew and that they are working on new content for us and he is sorry that VMK closed. I asked him if he wanted to level up with us in the crimson fields but that was before I knew he was the director LOL

It looks like the Emperor's Retreat battles (the two princes and Krokhotep) are another one of those all-in-one-session deals; is that right? Trying to figure out how much time to set aside for that.

I really wish they would let us do these in shorter chunks.

Help Wanted - Knight's Court Clock Tower

Several of your fellow DISers need your help!

The last update wiped the Marleybone History Book Quest out of our spellbooks, including credit for all the books we had found. Although we have been given the quest to start over again from scratch (what fun!), the location of the Knight's Court book is closed to us.

It looks like we need to enter the central Clock Tower with somebody going in for the first time. If you are doing, or about to do, the Knight's Court quests, please let us know. We would greatly appreciate it!

:thanks:

YES! I have bad news and good news about that! The other night, the only book I needed was Big Ben, and thanks to GIRL POWER (aka Tiggerbelle, DMamie and FlyingPegasus), I was able to finish Big Ben.

However, I noticed in the middle of Big Ben that my Marleybone book quests were GONE. I mapped out to the Palace guard, and sure enough, he had the quest to start over again. I jumped back to Big Ben and got that book, whew. But I groaned when I realized I had to get the rest.

Now for the interesting part. In the interim, I had started the Mooshu book quest. And I decided to start re-doing Marleybone. I managed to get the Hyde Park and Chelsea books, but I discovered Knight's Tower wouldn't let me in!

Check your quest! Apparently doing the other book quests gave me CREDIT for getting Knight's without actually getting it! Someone allowed me to jump to Ironworks, and I retrieved that book, too. Then I noticed that my Mooshu books were suddenly finishing on their own when I went to "read" the Marleybone books last night.

The only book I have left is Crimson Fields, and I hadn't gotten any other books except the Palace and Hametsu Village. I can't get into Crimson Fields yet, as I still have Outpost tasks, but the book bug has just saved me lots of time, go figure.

Try to get Chelsea again, read the book. Then look to see if the Knight's book is still there.

Oh, I discovered another bug after I found out my book quest disappeared. I no longer have access to Kensington at the station, so I'd have to jump to whoever is in there.

And I hadn't tried the Beguiler quest yet, either. I'd like to do that when Sea and Out try it. I've just become Level 35.

And whoever said having a Life wizard in the group helps a ton isn't kidding. I loaded my book with lots of healing spells, so during quests like Big Ben, I found that I was healing us all the time. :)

And my power spells rock against those Grubb death monsters. :)

I think that is what we've decided on. I think before the last updates you could jump in, but now the last two times I've been there, only the people who started it could jump in and out.

Oddly enough I haven't seen as much need for the life people like myself in the last few games I've played. :) Though it could be that we've been using four people in these instances and that most of us have some major xp and life going on too. lol
Though the first time through Big Ben and one of the counter weights I did feel like that was all I accomplished, throwing life around left and right. :rotfl:
I couldn't even show off my impressive spells those times. lol

Since the update last week, instances (such as Big Ben, Katz Lab, Emperor's Retreat, Boss battles, etc.) are limited to 4 people. You don't all have to enter together, but as soon as 4 are present, nobody else can enter.

What's more, even after a person leaves an instance, the game still counts them as being "present" until either everybody leaves the instance or they log off.

In that case, Marleybone may be the stopping point in the game for this Storm wizard, assuming I even get that far. (I'll try to get a little Victorian clothing, do some sightseeing, take some pics, and leave!)
It's not a whole lot of fun being a Storm wizard in Marleybone. (Just ask LafChill.) The major instances in that world -- Katz Lab, Kensington, Counterweight East & West, and Big Ben -- are all [i]loaded with Storm monsters with high resistance to your spells. You might want to grab yourself a myth wand to make your life there a tiny bit easier. :wizard:

I'm stumped. Where on earth is Prince Suten Sokkwi, the second of the two princes I have to fight before Krokhotep in the Emperor's Retreat? I have gone through the Lake of Ice, unlocked the gate on the other side, and explored everywhere. (I can't enter the door that is nearest to his icon on the map.) Is there something special I have to do to access his chamber?

Edit: Thanks AZCat for trying to help. Looks like my quest got mixed up somehow; someone else reported the same problem on the Wizard 101 forum. Will just have to wait it out I guess.

I can play successfully by myself but I do enjoy it more with other players. I have defeated many bosses in Marleybone. My proudest so far was defeating the widow spider because she is life and so was her cohort. I have no defence to life except absorb shield. My minor is life my major Ice. And widow was around 1600 plus her cohort put asbord shield on her in second round. grrrr

I find ice seems to get alot of health, right now at level 33 I am at 2195 with a little shield. This gives me pretty good chance of defeating the bosses if I use my ice guardian.

I know you definately need help in grubb run, And grace and i defeated the big bad Mal guy before we needed to so did not get much for that so sad :(.

I find if you use lots of power gold cards you can play alone just costs you 100 gold per card. I buy them in bulk 20 at a time. I would be rich if it was not for the gold cards.

If I did not use power cards and gold cards I do not think I could play alone and win :)

I have 15 gold tink cards if anyone is in need they cost 250 a piece I will trade for 2 gold power card 175+ which is 100 each.

I have some cards I am interested in using (gold cards) but i can't figure out "how" to use them

They are enhancement cards like "tough" and "monstrous" do you hit that card first and then your attack card? Do you put the card on the enemy first? I can't get them to work at all.

Thanks for the advice on this.

Thanks for the advice on this.

Once you have drawn the card to your hand during a battle, click the "tough" card then click the attack card. It will combine it onto the attack card, the attack card will now be gold with the added amount to the possible hit points. You can then use it in that turn, or save for later turn.

Thanks for the advice on this.

You first pick the "enhancemant" card, then pick the card you want to enhance. The spell card will transform, you will see the numbers have changed (more power or higher accuracy). You then pick the "new" card then aim at the ennemy. The new card will also turn to gold. If you fizzle it, the "enhancemant" card will go back to you side deck.

There are also cards that will transform a spell to another school. Like transform a Fire Elfe to Ice Elf or Storm Elf.

I jumped into it once, but I never looked around. I wonder if it thinks I have an unused ticket on me. That might be the reason. :)

Well according to alot of players our last spell we get is at level 48, this is a bonus spell. Like I would get the Ice Giant spell. And your a life wizard right? So you would get the rebirth spell. Every player that I have talked to has recieved a message from their teacher asking them to come to school for a new spell but there is a problem.

The problem is that we cant talk to the teachers to get the quest for the spell whichs leads me to believe that either: A) They have not finished the quest B) Its a bug, like the flower quest bug C) The spells are not ready, which wouldn't really make since because you can get them as treasure cards D) They are waiting until release of the game.

If it is a bug then i'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to fix it. And i'm pretty sure we get the spell as there is a pattern for bonus spells.

My question is: Can I leave this area and then be able to find the ghost again to get accross the broken bridge, or will I have to start over in the Village of Sorrows.

I guess I will find out if I get defeated in a battle.

Once I finally made it across the broken bridge last night I was scared to leave, as it took so much work just to get there.

Thanks for the help!

[I made that discovery last night at the end of our Lab run. We wanted to bring people in who needed to get the book, but at first nobody could teleport in, even though there were only two of us left in the instance. However, I noticed that after one of our original party logged off, another wizard was able to come in. (That was you, BriarRose.) Once the mechanics of the instance were figured out, we were able to cycle several people through to get the book, only asking them to briefly log off after they picked it up.]

Ice is good....They have a very high starting heath of 500 so they follow in the heal category. There spells are not horrible but most are offensive and some are defensive, the shields can block up to 80% i think and they have a shield that protects u from all schools 50%. The damage is not amazing but its a very good school

At this point my Balance/Death wizard is definitely my favorite. She absolutely breezed through WC and Krok... MB wasn't all that bad either. You get way more spells as balance since there are so many balance spells, just take a look in the card shop balance section if you doubt that comment. You get the tri-blade, tri-shield and tri-trap spells which can help no matter who you are fighting against/with. You have your own balance school heal spell called helping hand. Right now at ten levels behind Mad she has about 500 more health than Mad already (who has some pretty impressive storm items on since she is done also). I love the balance minion.. it casts, locust and sandstorm for damage, will cast shields, blades and donate power for you and friends, also casts black mantle and negative blades as well as elemental trap on the enemy. The spectral blast can be a nice heavy hitting spell when set up properly, although it might hit with the wrong element in certain fights. And I do love my blind justice that does 100 damage per pip. Not sure how she is to fight with, but fire Kenneth has been teaming with her recently so can comment if she is a helpful partner. Her spells aren't as heavy hitting as Mad, but I really, really have enjoyed playing her. Also the combo with death works nicely since that boosts against balance monsters and has those nice heal while hitting spells to keep you going.

PS If this has horrendous typos or doesn't make sense at points, please forgive... just rolled out of bed when I typed this so not terribly awake yet. :lmao:

Ice is my favorite school. You get some awesome spells to start with, and as octopie says you start with 500. The only cons I found was that you don't get any healing spells (which is why I do life as my second school), and that some of the quests for your teachers aren't unlocked when you get them :( I keep having to ask people to teleport me there to finish them!

The only school I suggest NOT doing as your primary school is life. My sister is doing that, and she has such a hard time in battle with only healing spells, so I suggest maybe just using life as a secondary school!

MINIONS: I haven't gotten a minion yet, but I think I do at level 20. I am level 18 now, so I'll let you know when I get there :)

My first wizard was storm and I finally gave up in Mooshu. Much as I love the storm spells, the fizzle rate and the preponderous of heavy hitting storm enemies throughout the realms just got too much for me. I can't even manage a "street fight" alone in Mooshu with her.

For my second wizard, I selected Life/Death. I absolutely love the combination. As a plus, I find the life healing fairy minion an incredible assist. The little fairy keeps me healed (and will even cast a level 1 life attack if everyone is healthy) so I can hit with offensive life (yes there are a couple of good attack spells in life) and death. I found storm's water elemental only a so-so help as he spends a lot of time putting up shield spells around himself and taunting the enemy. That's okay because he can draw fire away from you but I find it odd that one of the "attack" schools has such a passive minion. Since I don't have to put heal cards in the gold treasure deck, I'm able to stack a lot of multi-hit other school cards in there (blizzard, meteor, frog, sandstorm) for some extra clout.

I just completed the Temple of Storms/Fight with Krokotopeia solo (and didn't even have to use a potion bottle) so that should give you some idea of how effective the two schools are together. As a bonus, a life wizard can be very helpful as part of team. Key there is to have the life wizard focus on healing the rest of the team while the others do the attacks.

I also want to shout out to the DISers who helped me become the Wizard I am today!

Kenneth LegendSmith (LittleWoodenhead) & Morgan NightStalker (LittleMermaidsMom): both of whom I've spent many long hours and late nights with battling evil! You two were always there, at just the right time, and were always pretty much on the same page!! :flower3:

Madison StormCloud (LafChill), Padric FireStallker (AZCat) & Rowan DragonFlame (Flyng Pegasus): Felllow adventurers who rescued me many times and answered many a pesky question!!:worship:

I don't mean to leave anyone out! Thanks to everyone who has been a part of this new cyber adventure. See ya 'round the "other realm". LOL!:grouphug:

You're very welcome :thumbsup2 Thank you for being there and helping me out whenever I needed it, right up until the end when you jumped in last night to help me finish off the Jade Oni...yay, we're done!! Now what do we do??? :confused3 :rotfl2:

I have another wizard started too.. I chose balance and I think I'm going to have death as a second school. You know I love my pirate skeleton! I really liked my death/life combo, I think it worked out well and I like how the death spells can hurt and heal at the same time.

Let me know when you make your new wizard so we can meet up!

Well, I finally finished everything we can do....

I also want to shout out to the DISers who helped me become the Wizard I am today!

Kenneth LegendSmith (LittleWoodenhead) & Morgan NightStalker (LittleMermaidsMom): both of whom I've spent many long hours and late nights with battling evil! You two were always there, at just the right time, and were always pretty much on the same page!! :flower3:
Congratulations to both you and Morgan! :cheer2:

But now we're not only not on the same page, we're not even in the same book. :sad1: I'll miss you guys. Please come back and visit Myth Kenneth in MooShu sometime soon.

Tell me about your school...pros, cons, loves, hates etc....:thumbsup2
You already know that Myth is the coolest school (but don't let anybody else in on our little secret). Our Professor is something of a pain, however…

I’ve been thinking of creating an Ice/Death wizard next, as a variation on my Fire/Life wizard. It seems like 90% of the clothes drops I get are for Ice –- and Death would provide some healing backup. (When are you starting your newbie? Maybe they could meet and be friends?)

How are their Minions? I'm very spoiled by my Cyclops. ;)
I liked my Troll more than my Cyclops –- primarily because he was stronger when cast with fewer pips and then didn’t wait around as long to attack. (True, he didn’t cast Storm Shark, but his other spells were more than adequate.) Now, however, I am using my new Minotaur minion almost exclusively, and am loving it!

At this point my Balance/Death wizard is definitely my favorite…. Not sure how she is to fight with, but fire Kenneth has been teaming with her recently so can comment if she is a helpful partner. Her spells aren't as heavy hitting as Mad, but I really, really have enjoyed playing her
Yes, Destiny is a very helpful partner. She’s very balanced (pun intended), and is good to have alongside in any fight. In addition to some pretty decent damage spells, the blades, traps and shields you can cast are a tremendous help. If anyone is looking for a good "support" wizard (who is not Life), I think Balance is an excellent choice.

MINIONS: I haven't gotten a minion yet, but I think I do at level 20. I am level 18 now, so I'll let you know when I get there :)
If Ice is like Fire and a couple other schools, you won’t get a minion until you reach level 28.

Thanks! Ur right, I had no idea, but thanks for telling me! I just noticed when I visited the ice teacher and saw a minion looking person at level 20.

Just got back from vacation and noticed I have a few quests left in Krokotopia that I would like to complete before actually going over to Marleybone and need some help.

Below are the quests:

http://xs130.xs.to/xs130/08332/quests.needed992.png


So.. I am looking for the locations of the Temple of Storms beetle and where in the heck is the Burial Chamber? I am sure I have seen it and been there, but just skipped over it or did not know what was going on. lol


Help?

Thanks!

This may have already been mentioned as game bugs, but does kensington have one of those bugs? We tried and tried tonight to get past Stoker but no luck...the map looked like it belonged elsewhere! lol We finally got off due to being at a standstill. Boy, I hate to put that much time in....

I am dying to know this too, lol (maybe because I was with you???)

My hubby has ordered me to to find out this answer...

We simply could not locate stoker's lair... The task said "Defeat Stoker in Stoker's Lair" we defeated him everywhere else but his lair!

Has anyone made it past this area?

When you enter the Temple of Storms, first go down the stairs to the area near the Well of Spirits, then up the staircase to your right. Look around and you should find both the things you seek. :wizard:

I found the beetle already, but Locating the Djeserit Burial Chamber is not what you said. You led me to the Djeserit Family Tomb if I understood what you meant. If I go and talk to the guy who gave the quest it says to beat the Scavenger and then locate the sarcaphogus, and I have done both, but still won't pass me :confused3

I guess I will just have to keep messing around until a miracle occurs.


Thanks for the advise though!

For my second wizard, I selected Life/Death. I absolutely love the combination. As a plus, I find the life healing fairy minion an incredible assist. The little fairy keeps me healed (and will even cast a level 1 life attack if everyone is healthy) so I can hit with offensive life (yes there are a couple of good attack spells in life) and death.As a bonus, a life wizard can be very helpful as part of team. Key there is to have the life wizard focus on healing the rest of the team while the others do the attacks.I had the privilege of having her Life wizard fight with me yesterday. I was so impressed by what she can do that I'm planning on making one for myself. (That pixie is awesome!)I found storm's water elemental only a so-so help as he spends a lot of time putting up shield spells around himself and taunting the enemy. That's okay because he can draw fire away from you but I find it odd that one of the "attack" schools has such a passive minion.That's always struck me as odd too. He is most useful when he shows up early. If he draws attacks to himself consistently, pips can be built up for a mega Storm spell. The only attack spell I've seen him cast is Ghoul; usually pretty late in the battle.

As a Storm/Myth I've had my share of challenges, but I suppose it's just as well I never realized what I was getting into :laughing:. It has suited my playing style up to this point, but I don't think my solo adventures can continue for much longer. I love the atmospheric effect of the Storm spells, and the raw power of the Myth monster spells. Speaking of power, there's nothing like adding a Storm Trap plus a Storm Blade to a Storm Shark or a Kraken. Makes it all worthwhile! Storm has some great purple/blue clothing items, too.

I will say that I've felt the lack of a regular Myth Shield lately. (I'm presently level 25.) The shield spells with these schools are Thermic (Fire and Ice) which I have used a lot, and Ether (Life and Death) which I don't use quite as much. Fire in particular can drain a Storm wizard down fast.

I'm glad I played with these schools first. From now on my attitude will always be "Fizzle? I laugh in the face of fizzle!"

Did you go up to the sarcophygus and take a rubbing back to (I believe) the Ghost back in the Well of Spirits to complete the quest?
