(Wizard 101) Quest Tips & Help Thread!

[bevgray]

I can vouch for the Life minion. I just completed Counter Weight West solo and it was in large part due to my Life minion, a fairy that keeps you healed so you can use offensive spells. My first wizard was storm and the water elemental was not nearly as effective as the sprite.

The only tricky bit is if she turns up in the card stack early enough in the battle to help. If you are down to 200 health and she is late becoming available, sometimes it's not soon enough to do you any good. But drawn at the start or early to mid-battle, I have not lost a battle yet. She can use sprite, fairy, and satyr heal. She'll even attack with the first level imp if you are both healed. Sometimes, you wonder what she's doing in that she'll heal herself first with the three round sprite spell even if she doesn't seem to need it but I've learned that she does it to ensure that she doesn't get taken out early in the battle and have learned to rely on her, especially for solo battles.

[budcollector]

i like my minion [ Ice Guardian 400 hp ] he's come in helpful quite a few times

[disvaclub92]

I am in the Life School and my minion is a life sprite (tinkerbell). I have used her when I was alone in battles and she was a big help. When I battled with others, she became a little "self-centered" like giving health to herself when she did not needed. She did this numerous times on different battles with friends.

So in short, she works good when your alone.

[FlyingPegasus]

This might of seemed pretty obvious to some of you but after I figured this out a while back it has really helped my game, so I thought I would share it with you all.

When you discard a spell card and click draw, it draws from your treasure cards. If you do not click draw and then go to your next turn, it draws cards from your regular spell deck.

So if you have a bunch of cards that keep showing up and you can't use them for a few turns, discard them before your next turn. Then maybe the cards you are looking for will show up in your deck faster.

I find this helpful early in the game when all the level 5 and 6 pips spells show up, and I am asking "where are all my low cards?"

Of course this all depends on how many cards you have in your deck, as to how many cards you should discard during a turn. I have never run out of cards though.

To add on this strategy, i have a reshuffle spell, that will put back the discarded cards back in you deck. I learned this spell from one of the hidden trainers. Either Colossus Blvd or Marleybone, i dont remember.

I used it only once, but makes me less hesitant to discard. You only have to carry one reshuffle in your deck.

[PrincessNoelle]

Anyone else missing their friends list today? I tried to flee and return but that did not work. Restarting did not either. Any suggestions?


A temporary fix seems to be logging out, logging in another wizard on your account, then changing back to the first wizard.

[JGoof]

Anyone else missing their friends list today? I tried to flee and return but that did not work. Restarting did not either. Any suggestions?

It happened to me a few times today, i tried everything you said, sometimes it would work sometimes not. Some time just change to another room will make it work again. Other friends i have also note the problem.

[bevgray]

Servers going down for quick restart around 2:00 EDT. Hopefully, that will fix some things. And a big thanks to JGoof (Gilroy) for all the help you gave Kimberly and myself yesterday in our various quest efforts.

[PrincessNoelle]

Server just went down for a quick restart. Hopefully, this will resolve some of these issues.

[Tara_WindWalker]

Just before my character Tara Windwalker wasn't able to log in anymore, I was in a battle in Chelsea and saw a wizard run by ... on the wall ... not on the road.

I know ... I know ... game hallucinations (that's what I thought for a nano second).

Has anyone else seen this? Better yet, does anyone know how to do it?

[Tara_WindWalker]

I still can't login as Tara Windwalker. Mr. Lincoln says it is a developer's problem and that there are others like me who have excessive possessions (cards, wands, decks, etc). Dizzywood and Club Penguin tell you on the screen "you can only choose one more item for your igloo" or after you choose something you can't click on the item anymore. I hope Wizard 101 includes this in the game.

I am almost level 20 now as Tara Thunder, Myth with Life Minor

If you had me on your list before, please include me again.

[bevgray]

Not sure what they were supposed to "fix" with the mini-down earlier but the Royal Museum instances are no longer working (there were issues yesterday in there that I thought had been resolved). I do show my friends list though so that seems better.

[OctoPie]

I am finally in Marleybone! Ok lets hear it "Go octo!" LOL no wi need to work up to get to chelsea court :(

[Padrepride]

I don't know what to do now. I just got my balance minion and have made it through the palace of fire and have access to that island in krokotopia. I have no quests and can't get any quests in the sphinx, what do i do?

[Diva of Dragons]

Myth Minions rock! You get Golem,Troll, Cyclops and Minotaur. I pretty much used Cyclops all the time. He heals you, give power pips and casts storm shark, and sun bird!

budcollector: At what level did you get your ice minion? I'm already at 27. I was sent on a random mission to get a spell, where I called a Wyvern on Colossus, but no minion yet.:confused3

the minion for ice is 28 it is an colossus. we get a minotaur! That rocks!

[LuvN~Travel]

Here's a question that maybe Chedstro could find out about? ;)

I've reached the top of my schools now, but actually have three training points left to use. I've used a point before on balance and may use the other three there as well. However, is it possible that we may go to Dragonspyre before the actual release of the game, and is it possible we may get even higher cards for our characters, higher than level 42 that is. I wouldn't want to use all the points and then find that my second school of fire needed another point!
I do like to think that I think ahead. :rotfl:
Anyone heard any word yet on that?
Kim

[FlyingPegasus]

Well Rowan DragonFlame is stuck on the loading screen trying to enter the game. :sad1:

I sent an email to customer support and they responded by asking me how many ninja pigs i have.

In my reply I asked them if there was a limit to the number of cards you can have.

I will let you know if they answer that.

When I was on with her earlier I had no friends list.

I was able to make a new character and am trying the death school this time.

Hopefully I can get the origional Rowan back in the game soon. popcorn::

When I battled with others, she became a little "self-centered" like giving health to herself when she did not needed. She did this numerous times on different battles with friends.

So in short, she works good when your alone.

I've noticed the Sprite Guardian's self-preservation tendencies, even at the expense of other people, just like you've both said. And that she's great when you call her out early. I was able to use her during my final two battles in Crimson Fields in Mooshu. I did the entire run by myself, with the help of my sprite at the end. I was feeling so good, I picked a fight with the War Oni a second time because he wouldn't go away! :rotfl2:

However, I do have a dilemma. I must be missing some side quests somewherre, because there's an NPC in the Tree of Life (Oakheart) that will give you a side quest if you've finished everything else. I cannot think of anything I've missed in Mooshu, but there is a problem I know I have dating back to Wizard City.

I'm missing the third badge on the second page, which I think people were saying was "Wizard City Savior". It's the one under the Gobbler badges. I can't think of what I missed in Wizard City to miss the badge. DesertCat suggested fighting Lord Nightshade again in the Haunted Cave, and I did so numerous times without any badges.

I did find the "missing" badge of Three Streets Savior from Blad in Triton Alley a day earlier, but I'm wondering if missing the Wizard City badge is preventing me from doing the Mooshu one. I even ran around Cave of Solitude and Kishibe Village wondering if I didn't talk to everyone, and nobody has a running quest for me. I did notice in Kishibe that there is a boss in a hut that I was never told to defeat, even though I can enter and defeat him. Hyottomo (or something of that nature) is his boss title.

If anyone has any ideas of what I might need to do to find the side quests, I'm all ears.

[Chedstro]

Here's a question that maybe Chedstro could find out about? ;)

I've reached the top of my schools now, but actually have three training points left to use. I've used a point before on balance and may use the other three there as well.

I wish I could Belle; but there are some things that I am sworn to secrecy about - and most of what you asked I really have no idea of the answers. Everything is currently in flux. :hug:

[LafChill]

I cannot think of anything I've missed in Mooshu, but there is a problem I know I have dating back to Wizard City.

What Kenneth and I discovered after completing Mooshu on our second set of wizards and then having to go back to track down why Oakheart didn't want to talk to our original wizards - apparently, at least in this case, the side quests actually can follow their own little storyline as well just like the main story. To get Oakheart to talk to you, you need to make sure that you take and complete the tasks for the other elemental types like Oakheart in that area - Yoshihito Temple. First you'll need to visit the water elemental guy in the burial grounds, then the rock guy in the village of sorrow and then finally Oakheart will talk to you in the tree of life. I'm hoping I have the names and which guy is where correct, but if not please forgive me... I'm just up in the middle of the night not able to sleep so my brain isn't completely functional. :lmao:

LOL! No problem. I kind of figured that might be the answer here. And, I would definitely have to agree about everything being in flux. :rotfl: What I may do is use just two of the points and that would still give me that weakness spell I would like to have but also leave a point in reserve just in case.;)

Yeah, make sure you do the side quests offered by Mossback (Ancient Burial Grounds) and Wave Bringer (Village of Sorrow). Each quest chain will end in having to fight a different Forest Spirit boss. Oakheart should then talk to you and give you its own set of quests.

I'm not sure if the earlier side quests from Mossback (in Kishibe Village, for example) also tie in, so it couldn't hurt to make sure you've done those, too.

I did see Mossback in the other locations, and he had nothing left for me, so I'll try to see if I'm missing the other elementals in the Yoshihito Temple areas!
Thanks to both of you. My next goals will be endless fights to get more badges. That's where helping your friends really helps. ;)

[OctoPie]

I heard that there is going to be a new school and a new world is coming...as a result all of our characters will be deleted

[FlyingPegasus]

Well I have been unable to log in under Rowan DragonFlame. I am stuck at the loading screen that says "Entering Game".

I want to point out that I have been "Making" a lot of treasure cards using "Monstrous" and now "Tough". I also bought a lot of the other treasure cards. Well frankly there is nothing else to spend my credits on, being level 49 and done with Mooshu. So yeah, I have a lot of treasure cards.

Here is the second response I received:

"Thanks for the update. I'm not sure of the exact limit, but 110 does seem like a high number! Having a large amount of ninja pig cards has been causing issues with some characters, so I'll be passing this along to our more senior wizards to get this looked at. For now, please feel free to play your other characters and we will update this as soon as we have more information."

This was followed up with this message:

"After checking with our higher wizards, I have discovered that for now, the only fix for that data overload is to play on another character. At this point we are unable to even manually update your "stuck" character.
I apologize for any inconvenience."

sigh......the joys of being a beta tester.....

I hope this helps them to realize there might be a limit on the number of treasure cards we can have, and that they let us know what that limit is.

After all this is supposed to be like a "collectible" card game.

So my advice to any of you who took a bunch (more than 100???, I guess- no idea really) of ninja pig cards would be to right click and discard them.

Ok, so now I am off to try and get my storm wizard through the vault of ice. So if you see Rowan StormCloud out there give her some help. LOL

Fly :mad:

[IliketheTitanic]

I heard that there is going to be a new school and a new world is coming...as a result all of our characters will be deleted

Before this causes a panic, where did you obtain this information? And does this rumor really make that much sense? Why would they delete about 1000 or more characters because they wanted to add a school?

Also, sorry about your situation fly, best of luck to you.

[kimberloonie]

I'm trying to get to Mu Shu, but I can't figure out what quests I need to complete. Will I get to go after I finish Big Ben? Or can I finish a quest and not have to complete Big Ben?

Also, I'm having problems getting back in to do the East Side Counterweight challenge. There are blue lamps for both the West Side and Big Ben, but I can't get into anything. Does anyone know how to reset this?

Thanks!

game is up and running!

now it is back down :(

[Belle1997]

Hugs fly 100 does not seem like and that much. I took got about 50 pig cards and used to buy my +175 cards in bulk of 25's. Maybe that is the reason they took out the big power cards cause people could buy 100 those easy in the higher levels.

I am sorry you were so close to finishing hugs.

[disvaclub92]

well there was an interview they had and said they were bringing a new world and a NEW school so there might be a wipe

Please provide a link to the interview so we can see it.


And Fly sorry to hear that about your Ninja Pigs, I just checked my inventory and I am a tad bit over 110 but still functioning fine. Wonder how many others have large inventory of Pigs?

[LittleWoodenHead]

well there was an interview they had and said they were bringing a new world and a NEW school so there might be a wipe
There is a long interview with Todd Coleman (http://news.mmosite.com/content/2008-08-10/20080810184854224,1.shtml), Director of KingsIsle, on mmosite.com. In it he says:
Post launch, we have a ton of new content scheduled (worlds, spells, accessories, even new classes of Magic) as well as new game systems (like housing and crafting and the tournament system, all of the stuff I mentioned earlier.)

They have stated all along that our characters would be wiped when the game is launched. Whether another wipe happens before then is anybody's guess.

[LafChill]

Just got this in my email today...

Wizard101 Beta Test Ends Soon!

The faculty here at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the Summer Semester of beta test play. We could not have done this without you.

The game, with many new improvements, will launch soon! While we are very excited about rolling these new changes out to the Wizard101 community, it means we will have to delete all characters (but not accounts) from the game. We truly apologize for this inconvenience. We will let you know very soon when the characters will be deleted. Be sure to check the website and your email for details.

When you come back to Ravenwood School, there will be a few surprises just for you, our beta test players. As a special thank you, beta test players will get a limited edition game item that no other Wizard101 player will EVER be able to get. To get your reward after launch, be sure to log in using your beta test username and password again. Stay tuned for more information on your special reward.

We know you’ll miss your characters. Take lots of screenshots of your characters, so you can recreate them after launch! We would love to see your screenshots, too. Send them to us at community@wizard101.com, and we’ll put them up on our community site!

We hope you will join the Wizard101 community to celebrate the game’s launch and start a whole new adventure to save Wizard City!

If you received multiple copies of this email, you may have signed up more than once with the same email address.

Thank you!
~Professor Greyrose

Darn another one bites the dust....:banana:

[bevgray]

And I'll reach level 42 and my final spells tomorrow too. Sigh. Oh well, at least they are giving beta testers something special.

[Ailaena]

AAHHHH!! Only Big Ben, and then I was in MooShu!!!!:headache:

Guess I had better hurry...:thumbsup2

[aengus]

heh, I am looking forward to the official launch especially after seeing there are lots more in store for us. The special for the beta peeps is a very nice gesture as well.

I expect I will become a member of this game after launch as long as the cost is along lines with where the rumors are placing it. I really found I just enjoy the game.

[OctoPie]

I have no way of paying in the future :( bye bye Wizard City,Krok,Marleybone and Moo Shu. Bye Cyrus Drake

Same for me, i should be there at launch depending on the cost.
I turned Grand Master yesterday. Woot just in time! :cool1:

[disvaclub92]

I appreciate the time we were given to advance as far as we could.

I know for me, I enjoyed the help of friend battling to help me, but most of the time I tried to battle alone to see how far it would take me. I still see some major bugs and have reported them. I do have to admit, I feel for the "no chat" crowd. The featured text has been useful, but I have seen some difficulty in communicating, so I have recommended some additional text.

Any other life people suffering from having so many pips but no spells showing active in your deck to use?

From the interview with Todd Coleman (http://news.mmosite.com/content/2008-08-10/20080810184854224,1.shtml), Director of KingsIsle, on mmosite.com:
At launch, we'll be free-to-play with advanced gameplay for subscribers. We're looking at around 10 a month, with discounts for 6 month and annual subscribers. There will also be a micro-payment system to purchase customized accessories.

I should add, because I know there will be a lot of questions... Life Student, just using a Centaur spell.
Treasure cards stack with your normal spells. Prisms are fun.

[Candlz]

Hey there, I had sent them this question:

Good Morning,

Just a quick note to ask if you will take into account that many families would like to play this game together as a team. I am hoping that for my family of 4 to continue playing together we will not need to buy 4 subsriptions. I am really excited about the game going live, but I am so hoping we won't need to choose who gets their own account.

Thanks for your time,
Cynthia

and was given this response

Hi there!

I wish I had more information for you, but unfortunately, I'm not entirely clear on how the family accounts are going to work. In any case, there will be a significant bit of the game that is free to play, so even in a worst case scenario there's room for all of you!

Keep an eye out on the site www.wizard101.com for news and more details on the free to play and pay to play features!

Regards,
Mr. Lincoln
Ravenwood School of Magical Arts

Not was I was hoping for, quite honestly. We will probably get two accounts and Hubby and the kids will have to share one... sad though.

I too try battles on my own and have run into this problem the further I go in game. Guess that could be why I have not played as much and was thinking of starting another. But I guess not if they are getting ready to go live.

I know for me, I enjoyed the help of friend battling to help me, but most of the time I tried to battle alone to see how far it would take me. I still see some major bugs and have reported them. I do have to admit, I feel for the "no chat" crowd. The featured text has been useful, but I have seen some difficulty in communicating, so I have recommended some additional text.

Any other life people suffering from having so many pips but no spells showing active in your deck to use?

I finished the main game, so I find myself joining battles to help others advance in their quests. I find that I enjoy fighting bosses with others, or just helping them fill their bad guy quotas. :)

But you're the only person I know that has that pip problem. I'm a life wizard and don't have that issue. :confused3

I also have the pip problem a lot when fighting other life bad guys. Or no other cards will come up but life cards. I'll have several rounds of each that way.:)

I agree, the Beta test has been a blast!
Okay, about the mega pip issue. I have a Balance/Life girl who has the same issues. For some reason, all she can pull for the first two rounds are 3-4 pip spells, then fizzles them when she's able to actually cast one. After those big spells are depleted or discarded, all she's left with are shields and health cards. 8 pips is common, along with a circle of shields, blades and traps. Nothing she can do but keep trying to pull decent spells and hope they don't fizzle. And the fizzle rate starts another story... This whole pip/fizzle increase started after the big upgrade a few weeks ago.

Just wanted to let you know, Mr Lincoln told me that the limit on treasure cards is 500.

I didn't think I had that many, but I did get carried away turning my storm sharks and meteor spells "Monstrous" and stuff.

MMOsite: Is there any sort of rough schedule for when CB and OB will be available for the players? And have you decided on the business model?

Todd Coleman: Closed beta is happening now, and we expect to move to open beta very, very soon. Anybody can go to www.Wizard101.com and sign up. New accounts are being let in very, very quickly.

At launch, we'll be free-to-play with advanced gameplay for subscribers. We're looking at around 10 a month, with discounts for 6 month and annual subscribers. There will also be a micro-payment system to purchase customized accessories. We expect our catalog of accessories to be extensive...but at the same time, we have to walk a fine line. We don't want to undermine the balance of the game or short-cut the advancement curve too much.

Post launch, we have a ton of new content scheduled (worlds, spells, accessories, even new classes of Magic) as well as new game systems (like housing and crafting and the tournament system, all of the stuff I mentioned earlier.)

It says advanced gameplay is for subscribers...which could be like WDIG Pirates (up to level 8)....of course that only gets you out of Unicorn Way.

The only attack was a treasure card Centaur, which IS below 500. What added to all that damage were all the +% stacking. Like, You can use a life blade and a life blade treasure card, and they will stack. Same with Life Trap, spirit blade, spirit trap, etc.

My character has been frozen because I have too many treasure cards in my backpack. I had asked them what the limit is on how many cards we can have in our backpack and they told me 500.

So I was talking about the number of cards we can have, not the amount of damage the cards can do.

That was an amazing spell you did by the way.

[bevgray]

To help Life wizards battle Life enemies, I picked up a Death wand to use in those battles rather than my life. Also, put a lot of death cards (ghoul, vampire) in your treasure card stack so that you can pull those. I discovered if the Life enemy uses absorb, ghoul and vampire blast through.

Ok I don't know what is going on, but I just tried logging in Rowan DragonFlame and she was able to get in the game.

The first thing I did was count my treasure cards, I had 398. Not counting the ones in the spell deck.

I promptly deleted all the Ninja Pigs!

I hope this solves my problem.

Right now, since we're all going to be deleted soon, I'm off battling lesser bosses because I can pass or use shields or other zero pip stuff long enough so I can enjoy some of these high pip cards. :laughing: Stormzilla is pretty cool and those flying pigs just crack me up! :lmao:

Greetings Young Wizard!
Thank you everyone for your help during the beta test. Thanks to you we made great improvements to Wizard101, and it’s almost ready to launch so everyone can play it!

As we previously mentioned, because of some major final changes, we will be deleting all characters (but not accounts). This deletion will take place this Friday, August 29th at 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. You will be able to log in and play the game with new characters this Friday, sometime after 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. This is our final stage of Beta Test but it is important to note that all characters created after 7:00 am Central Standard Time on Friday will continue on into the game after launch. THEY WILL NOT BE WIPED AGAIN! Make sure you log in using your same beta test username and password when you set up your new character.

As a very special thank you to all beta test players, you will receive 600 crowns in your account (using your beta test username and password). You can use these crowns to purchase your limited edition "Pioneer Dragon" from Prospector Zeke in Olde Town during this final stage of Beta Test. The Pioneer Dragons will only be available for purchase from Friday, August 29th until Wednesday, September 3rd at 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. So be sure to log in and get your Pioneer Dragon ASAP! You can see pictures of the Pioneer Dragon on our website!

ETA: Kind of sweet to know we are all about to never have a wipe again huh ;)

[OctoPie]

A Pioneer dragon!?! they swipe our characters and give us a freaking dragon that gives a blade!!!! and it will cost 600. when it cost 10 NOW i think that is kinda low



Ok who is making there character, a character in the new school technomancers.

Sorry I didn't come to the meet last night. I thought it was superfluous as we have to meet again post-wipe.

The dragon is lovely. I can't wait to begin again. I bet I'm the Hero of Unicorn Way before Aengus!

[PrincessNoelle]

Well, at least I know now that the 600 crowns will be for each account not each wizard and will spend more wisely. See, I did learn something at Wizard school. :wizard:

I'm going to miss my other pets and I was finally starting to get some decent looking clothes. :sad1:

As of this morning, Zeke was selling the Pioneer Dragon in Wizard City for 320 crowns.

Who knows what the price will be tomorrow? I hope it is no more than 100 crowns, so I can make 6 wizards and give them a dragon apiece. Also, we don't know if the current Pioneer Dragon (with the Balance Blade) will be the same one offered tomorrow. After all, since they say in the notice that it is "limited edition", there may be a difference.

Speaking of Zeke's prices: Most of the items in Wizard City have changed. (I didn't have time to check the other worlds.) Unlike the dragon, however, most have been reduced by half! In fact, three items - the Sunbird hat, the Cyclops robe, and the Weakness shoes - now cost only 600 crowns. If those prices hold tomorrow, I guess people could buy one of those and pass on the dragon.

[LittleWoodenHead]

what is weakness shoes?
Shoes with a "Weakness" spell card. You can cast Weakness on an enemy to reduce the damage caused by their next attack.

Since we are going to have to start all over again tomorrow I would like to get some input from some of our more seasoned wizards as to which of the schools they enjoyed the best. My wizard was a storm/myth and I was kind of disappointed in my abilities and only made it to Kroktopia LVL 21. I would like to create a better wizard that I hope to enjoy more and am looking for your advise and suggestions. Thank you and hope to see you all again tomorrow for the grand opening!

I only had one wizard, but really enjoyed my Ice/Life combo. It was tough at times (Collosus Blvd. and Krokosphinx) where the enemies were mostly Ice, but I always seemed to eke by (with some help from my friends:thumbsup2 ). After the wipe I probably will choose this combo again, unless I decide to have death as a second school. The one thing I will do different this time is to have some equipment (wand, clothes, treasure cards, etc.) that gives spells from different schools.

My main wizard was Death/Fire. Except for some instances, I could have almost solo up to the end of MooShu, but it seemed to be even easier for my friends in Life School. Their healing minion helps a lot. :flower3:

I would not consider a Wizard without Life or Death abilities. These two schools have healing (or health stealing) spells that I think are essential.

Thank you and hope to see you all again tomorrow for the grand opening!My first wizard was a Storm/Myth as well, so I feel your pain! I do love those Storm spells though, even with the fizzle. I made my second wizard Life/Storm and have had a much easier time of it; I'll start one again after the wipe. The healing makes all the difference in the world. Also, if I run out of content because of any "free account" limitations, I figure a Life wizard will always have plenty to do helping out.

Has anyone made a Life/Fire or a Life/Myth? I'm wondering what those would be like for an additional wizard.

[debbi801]

My 2nd wizard is Myth/Life and I really liked that combo. Myth gave me lots of minions from very beginning--I started with a zero pip Golem Minion at level 1 or 2, then added Troll Minion soon after, and then a Cyclops Minion. Having an extra player helped with some bosses. And, I really like the healing spells from life as a 2nd school. Between my Seraph and Humoungafrog, I can do a lot of damage, too.

I'm contemplating creating a balance wizard tonight to try that school out, too. Any thoughts on Balance?

[PrincessNoelle]

My first wizard was a Life/Storm. I love the healing aspect of life and the awesome spells in storm. My second wizard was a death/myth which seems to be a pretty good combination. Since my favorites have been life and death, I will probably go with life/death or death/life. My daughter has a storm/fire. Storm seems to fizzle a lot and I don't think she has been very happy with the fire as a secondary.

[LuvN~Travel]

My first was a Myth/fire wizard and my second a Life/fire wizard.
I really enjoyed the myth characters the first time around and except for the life bad guys enjoyed the life characters.
However, that fire is way over rated in my book! lol Too much fizzle for me and I won't be using that again. lol
This time I will probably be a Myth/life wizard.;)
Kim

[Dreamytime]

My Fire/Life was my first avatar. It was a lot of fun. I loved the big spells. I personally enjoy any spell that gets all the enemies (snow storm, meteor, throw-up frog, tempest). I didn't have the fizzle that many complained about, but I would go for higher % instead of higher health/manna clothing. I hardly ever fizzled in fire.

My easiest avatar is Life/Balance. Well the Life portion enabled me to get through most of Wizard unaided. But, in the higher levels I felt a bit cheated with the big spells. Centaur rocks, of course, but I really would have liked to have had that across the board 'get all the enemies' spell in Life, instead of the 'help all your friends with health' spell. The sand storm spell, well, idk...it just didn't do much for me. :)

I will probably make a Life/Storm person first, or Life/Myth. I really need want a nice powerful school as my 2nd choice.

Plus, I loved being dressed in Green. The reds, pinks and oranges...sigh....got old after a while. :wizard:

[bevgray]

My second wizard was a Life/Death. I was able to use her to solo a good part of all the worlds, even Mooshu (just did the War Oni alone). I made sure I always had a Death wand that I could switch too when facing Life enemies as well as Death cards I could put into the treasure card stack on those occasions. I use storm/fire/myth treasure cards to beef up my attack abilities. The Life minion works very well and is what enabled me to fight so many battles solo. Also, when are you with a team, Life really helps out your attack school chums.

[LittleWoodenHead]

My wizard was a storm/myth and I was kind of disappointed in my abilities and only made it to Kroktopia LVL 21.
That's because you got the combo backwards. :rotfl: By having Myth as a second school, you missed out on its best feature: Minions, minions, minions! I would never choose Myth as a minor for that very reason.

I played a Myth/Balance wizard through MooShu to completion. Balance was OK as a minor, but I ended up dropping it eventually and started picking up Death spells instead. Once finished, I started a Myth/Storm wizard, who has just made it to Krok. Storm will always be a challenging school, due to its fizzle rate, but it pairs well with Myth, imo. I am likely to do this combo again after the wipe.

Another combo I love playing is Ice/Death. Ice might not be flashy, but it does solid damage, doesn't fizzle as much as the other elemental schools, and gets the best health of any school. Combined with Death's health-stealing abilities, I mostly solo'd all the way to Tomb of Storms (where I am now). Even better: I have not been defeated in battle once. I expect this wizard will be the first I make after the wipe.

[Hobo Wendy]

Dumb question : How do you choose your secondary school? I know I choose death as my primary but never knew how I got my secondary.

[OctoPie]

My 2nd wizard is Myth/Life and I really liked that combo. Myth gave me lots of minions from very beginning--I started with a zero pip Golem Minion at level 1 or 2, then added Troll Minion soon after, and then a Cyclops Minion.

I'm contemplating creating a balance wizard tonight to try that school out, too. Any thoughts on Balance?

Balance oh it is AWFUL in my opinion. There spells are based on pips, like donate power and power play.I think there minion isn't the best minion there is. There attack damage isn't in the high range I would say you could do a lot better in a different school. The perk is starting with 480 while others school start with 450 or 400 and ice is 500.

Dumb question : How do you choose your secondary school? I know I choose death as my primary but never knew how I got my secondary.


You can choose any school but most people choose life for the healing because later on you will need it. when you earn training points from leveling up,then you can spend them on some other school spells aka your secondary school. From level 1-20 you get an experience points every 4 levels from 20-50 it is 50 every 5 levels. you can also get training points from quests also! Zeke in each world has quests for you to find different items. If you find the items you get experience,a training points and other items

Everyone remember to consider the new school TECHNOMANCERS

Thanks for the scoop. I had contemplated creating a new wizard for that school tonight,, but I think I won't bother.

Once the wipe happens, I will either continue with my myth/life wizard, try myth/death, or maybe try the new school.

Has anyone made a Life/Fire or a Life/Myth? I'm wondering what those would be like for an additional wizard.

I started out as Life/Myth, but then gradually added some Death through Vampire, plus the blades/traps that cover all three schools. I found Life/Myth to be pretty easy, and once I got to Centaur level, I was able to phase out my other cards and use Life mostly, unless I was fighting Life monsters.

I will probably be boring and create the same exact combo. I also found myself healing others a lot, too. DMamie called me a "battlefield medic". :laughing:

[CinderellaWannab]

Briar, I wish I were clever enough to think of, "battlefield medic". That is really cute. I hate to take credit for someone else.

It is so nice to see all of my vmk friends.

[LafChill]

I actually have thoroughly enjoyed playing my balance/death wizard... She was my second wizard to finish up Mooshu and I'm honestly thinking of creating a balance wizard before doing another storm wizard. So much depends on how you use your training points and your personal playing style. I thought the balance minion was way more helpful than my storm minion target... although I did get used to him eventually as well. Balance also gets another minion spell as their level 38 spell which is a bit like spectral blast only you get a random spectral minion. And I must say that the storm minion that balance gets is much more what I had hoped my storm minion would be.

[Dreamytime]

Does anyone have anything they would like to finish or do tonight before the wipe? Want to finish a quest or kill something really big?

If so, I know what we have many people who will help.:wizard:

[FlyingPegasus]

I figured I needed to get to level 50 just so I could say I did. LOL

I really liked my Fire/Life combo. Then I used the extra training points on Storm. It was a great combination.

Not sure what I will do tomorrow. I want to see what the new school is. I will definitely make a Rowan DragonFlame with Fire/Life again.

Not unless they changed it today. You could always go to Olde Town right after the tutorial. (I just did it with 3 different wizards this past week. ;)) You just can't get into the streets beyond it.

So, would somebody care to give us poor working folk the skinny on the Pioneer Dragons? Do they differ from the previous ones? How much do they cost? (I've already read on the Wizard site that each account only gets one, which seems a bad move on KI's part.)

It is the dragon with the 30% blade.
You can dye it whatever color you want.
They are 320 so you have 280 left after purchasing 1.
The clothing are there, as well, but VERY expensive.

Looking forward to having you back on my list. :)

Although those few items that were 600 crowns yesterday are still priced at that, so if you don't want a dragon you could opt for one of those.

[LittleWoodenHead]

It is the dragon with the 30% blade.
You can dye it whatever color you want.
They are 320 so you have 280 left after purchasing 1.
The clothing are there, as well, but VERY expensive.
You all know how much I love this game. Nevertheless, I must say:

BAD MOVE, KingsIsle!!!


Families share accounts. How are they to decide who gets the dragon?
Even those of us who don't share accounts still play multiple wizards. But only one of my wizards can have it?
It was supposed to be a "limited-edition" dragon, yet it has the same Balance Blade as the one we got last week.
Which only cost 10 crowns!
Unless we pass on the dragon entirely, those extra 280 crowns are worthless.

If they wanted to limit the dragons, they could have priced them at 300. Then, at least, people could have gotten 2. Or make them really special with some added boosts or buffs built in. (Yes, I realize they didn't have to give us anything, although it is standard operating procedure that beta testers receive something for their efforts.)

This is the kind of bone-headed decision-making I've come to expect from WDIG. (Who, for those who don't know, finally decided to send out those long-promised 30-day free trials to Pirates and ToonTown.)

Looking forward to having you back on my list. :)
Ditto!

Chances are good I can leave work early, so I should be in the game by about 4:00 Pacific time. Hope to see some of my friends then! :wizard:

Agreed. I shared for a long time with my nephew who is in another state now that I am back in school. He has his own log in now, but if he didn't that would not be fair in the least to him nor me.

Didn't they promise ClubPenguin, too? My nephew plays that and I was going to give him that code.

Heh, I can see my "All Pipped Out Bug" is still around. Tons of pips but no spells such a joy.

Aw, Dis. Look on the bright side. You can still use those useless +65 health cards!

[HappyGoLucky]

Hmmm disvaclub92:

I noticed that your mana says 0, don't you need mana along with pips to use your spells?

Unless I am mistaken, the reason you can't cast a spell is because you have no mana left.

[disvaclub92]

Sweet - thank you :)

[TLinden16]

Hey Dis, have you been playing with no mana all along? hehe.

[disvaclub92]

Hey folks, I wanted to drop a quick note about the pricing model before the game goes live. We’re going to be using a “hybrid model” for Wizard101, which means that the game will be available with limited content for Free (roughly half of Wizard City, and the PvP system which will be coming online shortly after launch.) Players can purchase unlimited access to all of Wizard101’s content in a couple of ways:

- Monthly Subscription. You can buy a recurring subscription for $9.95 per month that gives you full access to the game content, chat systems and other great benefits.
- Pre-paid subscription. You can buy a recurring subscription for 6 months or 12 months at a discounted price.

In addition, we are looking to bring other pricing options online shortly after launch:

- Time for Crowns. In addition, we’re going to allow you to buy pre-paid months using crowns. Initially crowns will be available online, and eventually (through some really cool programs that we haven’t talked about yet) we’ll provide other ways for players to get crowns, as well.
- Other pricing options that will be announced at a later date

We have a lot of exciting stuff coming down the pipe, but the first step is to get the game launched successfully … so to make that happen, we’re going to start with the traditional online game model of subscriptions and a cash shop. Stay tuned as we bring you more options post launch and, as always, enjoy the game!

I was hoping the free game would at least include all of Wizard City. Oh well. Guess I'll just play around with multiple wizards.

I'm curious, though. Is there a limit to the number of levels you can advance for free, without going to the next world?

[budcollector]

i got the same name , but transfered from Ice to a different school. i am now a Death/Storm Wizard

i'll be glad when it does launch so i can get some crowns to buy some REAL Wizard Clothes, not the hand me downs you get in the game, they hardly give you anyprotection at all.

thats for sure, i just hope i don't have to do battle with the fashion police, i would get defeated quick :lmao:

Hi everyone , i made a Myth Wizard , im already level 7 and my name is Erica Gianthead lol , I need help on this quest called "Myth Adventure" I have no clue where to summon the minion , can anyone help?

Hi. :goodvibes I think you just need to go to the area mentioned on the quest (I cannot remember the exact spot from last time I created a Myth wizard) and wait there for a second or two. You won't need to do anything to summon the minion, it should appear by itself.

Hope this helps!

[PrincessNoelle]

I think I read somewhere here that Wizard 101 said that they would be coming out with a new magic school. Does anyone else here wish that they had done that with this last update? I have been trying out different magic school combinations so I have gone up to the second world with at least three wizards. Since they were all wiped out, I have been playing mine along with my daughter's at the same time. On those quests where you are all the way out at the end of the street and then have to visit Merle or someone, I leave one wizard behind so that I can visit saving me the time running all the way back. I am getting really tired of Wizard City.

[Goofy05]

I have had players jump into my battles after waiting and watching for that last possible moment to jump in. I am seeing it a lot today, moreso than ever before and wanted to throw out a warning to you all to keep some health in your last set of cards! I was lucky enough to have that health when these two girls jumped in my battle, I was at 359 HP when they joined. I didn't get their names, as you can't click on them in battle and they ran as soon as it ended, but I did catch one of the girl's conversation with me.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/2811596043_09c852080e_o.jpg
As you can see, she's actually proud of the fact that she jumped in and I had to use a health fairy. Extremely rude, considering the small amount of mana I had left.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3079/2812443024_2c1bb67118_o.jpg
It would really be nice if KingsIsle put an end to this.

[bevgray]

I had someone following me around doing just that today. The third time, I just decided to cut my losses, waited until he was facing one damaged and one very healthy evil snowmen in colossus and then fled so he had to deal with them alone.


I don't like to be mean and the first time, I'll accept the idea that someone just got pulled in accidently. But when I see them waiting on the sidewalk...nah, I'm afraid affable fairy stops being affable.

I guess folks are trying to get through their quests as quickly as possible but that is still no excuse.

Yes. And this was just the last time it happened to me, there were a few others prior. If only they would ask first, I would most always say it's okay to jump in. I like your payback. heh I have been known to flee as well, but that was in Krok when I could afford to purchase potions and didn't have to run around catching sparkles. LOL

[PrincessNoelle]

I change realms if I see that someone is doing this. It's great when you can hook up with people and work together but I don't want to be used.

[Diva of Dragons]

Mind if I whine?? E-mail I sent to Wizard big whigs..............

Hi!

I hope something can be done about this. I created my new wizard today, after the big wipe. I bought my pioneer dragon but started having some lag & other issues with the game. I signed off, then back on, did disk clean-up, all the little computer tricks, etc....

When it still didn't work, I figured I should start over, so I deleted the character, shut down, re-booted, did more computer tricks, and made a new me. Well, with all systems go, I realized my big mistake too late. My dragon was gone. I went to get a new dragon but now I don't have the 320 crowns because they were wasted on my defective, twitchy wizard.

I was one of the earlier beta testers and would be really bummed if I have to go without my moons and stars dragon due to silly tech probs.

So, I hope one of the great powers that be can help me out here!!

Thank you!

Get rid out all the bugs before I get home Labor day night.
Back in the saddle again.

This time Myth/Life.

[PrincessNoelle]

I noticed several bugs and a lot of lag today which I really haven't had much before. Changing realms helped a bit. Some of the music got stuck and I had to turn down the speakers or log out and log back in. I was in battles where I was not physically there. When I had to fight something there were times that I would run up to them through them and back before it would trigger a battle.

Thanks alot ! I just had to enter Olde Town , Btw , is Wizard101 really going pay to play? : < If it is , then i'll have to stop playing

After many many issues not being able to launch the game, I am finally able to log in. (was a major issue with the Microsoft Virtual C++ redistributable 2005).

I am totally at a loss as to what I need to do. I met with the professors in ravenwood, completed the intial stuff but now can't figure out where to get these quests. Rather than go through 105 pages, just thought i would ask.

After going to see the teachers you need to check your homework book. It will tell you to go see the headmaster again. When you see the headmaster again, after the teacher run, he gives you a 'training point' for your second school. You can return to the teacher of your choice and 'train' for a new spell. Be careful as when this training point is used, it is gone. If you need instruction on what to do with your new spell, let us know...we can help.

You will also get from the headmaster your first true task...a trip to Unicorn Way. It allows you to get your feet wet.

Just remember this is all quest driven. So be on the look out for anyone with a yellow "?" or "!" as they want you to do something for them.

Never hesitate to come to a DIS meeting and get some DIS friends. There has never been a time when I haven't been met with one person refusing to come and help if I was in need or had a question.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! :) Nice to have you play with us!!:wizard:

[kimberloonie]

Do we know when the Pay to Play model will come out? Are they accepting payments now? Or are we still in "BETA" and free to advance and move around?

Oh and I reused my old name of "Amber Jadesong" and now she's a Life/Fire. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. :)

Is there another DIS Board Meeting coming to re add friends?

no pay model yet, you are free to move about the cabin :)

Looks like it will be coming soon however, and yes we should have another meet soon. I only have a couple of peeps now

P.S. what are the odds that I became the HERO OF UNICORN WAY again?!?!

[BriarRosie]

Nope, just that time yes. hehe - it's Friday before a holiday I am allowed my blonde moments gosh!!

Yeah, but I tried to add you to my friends list when you were near the Krok library. Unless there's another Julia Summersong, you totally dissed me. :laughing:

And to Mims and the rest who have had people jump in:

I don't mind people jumping in if they actually FIGHT. During my first trip to Kroktopia, I had a player jump in and just let the timer count down to zero. All the monsters would ignore him and hit me. He got the benefits of victory with zero effort, and it made me pretty infuriated. If he had at least chosen cards to help me, I wouldn't have minded as much.

My newest annoyance is a girl who I befriended and later regretted it. The problem is that she wants to help, but she is nowhere near the Krokotopia level. She wants to get stuff and XP, and I humored her. As she followed me all around Palace of Fire and such, she did survive fights by behind 3rd or 4th to jump in, and I took hits as "bait" in the 1st position.

But she was my downfall in the Map Room instanced fight. Alienoutlawz (ok, Sean in Wizards) was helping me, and I missed out on a potential clothing or item drop because she got pulled into a fight, and I jumped in to save her from getting killed. It didn't work, because we added too many enemies that I couldn't fend off to save either her or myself. If she had been leveled high enough to fight, it wouldn't have been an issue.

Now this poor kid will be sad if I delete her, and yet I can't afford to have her puppydog me at every fight when she's not even supposed to be in Kroktopia yet.

[aengus]

I am suprised they let you follow people to lands your not permitted to enter on your own. Perhaps this is something they will discontinue when the game goes live

[SorcererRocks]

Earlier today I was playing and stepped away from the computer for a few moments. When I returned there was a message box saying I had been reported and something to the effect that inappropriate language and behavior will not be tolerated. Has anyone else gotten this type of message? Thing is, since the wipe on Friday, I haven't spoken to anybody in the game. I did send a message to staff via the forums and hopefully will get an answer soon regarding this. I'd hate to think I have a strike against my account when I haven't done anything.

I have not experienced it myself, but from what I read from the Wizard forum, they review the report. If it is unfounded, they will punish the person who makes a false report.

I have not heard yet of any ban or warning being given yet.

Can you keep us informed if you get any kind of notification?

Thanks

I don't see what the problem is with that is. So what if someone who is in Krokotopia wants to play with a friend in Marleybone? They just have to be mature enough to know that they are there on their own terms, at their own risk, and that they shouldn't expect others to help them if they get pulled into fights.

I don't have a problem with friends in other lands fighting with me...I do have an issue with them or anyone being able to just jump into fights. There have been many, many, many times I have either been almost done or almost dead when someone on my list or a stranger just jumps into my fight. I try to be respectful and ask if I may join their fight, and message my friends before coming to see them. I just wish there was an option 'can so and so join your fight?' sent to the owner of the fight...the first person in the circle. That would make it SOoooooo much better for all involved. One reason being a boss battle, if there are 2 people as opposed to 3, you might get 2 people to fight or 4. If the 3rd person shows up into your fight at the end of it another 2 enemies miraculously show up. That stinks if you are after a book or need to talk to someone in the room after the fight.

I hear ya, but I just see it as a springboard to advancing in the game. Teamwork is great, but its not teamwork when someone is springboarding their XP at the others expense.

Just my thing I guess, just think you need to put your time in like the others did even if it means lagging behind. I by no means am implying people shouldn't help eachother. I needed help just tonight with Achilies and Mims was kind of enough to give me a hand :)

:wizard:

I have ALWAYS asked if someone needed help or if I might join them. There are a number of players who just like to solo through for whatever reasons and I can respect that. I'm also getting tired of seeing people standing on the sidelines waiting....like vultures, for your battle to be nearly finished and THEN jump in. They rarely even need to cast anything to reap all the rewards from your hard work.

To SorcererRocks: I have been reporting people recently for foul language. No, you weren't one of them. LOL I did, however, receive a response from Wizard 101 reassuring me that ALL reports are checked out, chat logs reviewed, etc. before ANY actions are taken.
Here is a copy of that response:

Hi there,

Don't fret overly much, we have a very powerful crystal ball that allows us to see all that occurs in Wizard City and beyond, we can confirm all accusations. I will go over the chat logs and take appropriate action to make sure that these players are stopped from harassing other players like you. Thank you very much for letting us know and providing the screen shot of the inappropriate behavior.

Please let us know if you see any more inappropriate behavior.

Regards,
Mr. Lincoln
Ravenwood School of Magical Arts

To BriarRosie: Julia SummerSong could have been mid-crash, too. I've seen it happen with some other friends of mine. They are standing in front of me not saying a word for quite some time, then...poof! Another issue could be that it was an automatic reaction to click 'reject'. I do it all the time if I'm looking for something or running somewhere. If I see that box pop up, I click 'reject' without even noting who sent it. I'm certain you weren't dissed by a Dis.

Before the very first wipe, I used to play with AZCat in Marleybone even before I got to Krokotopia. While I had a lot of fun, the XP was pretty bad. I don't know if that's still the case, but there was really no statistical benefit to jumping ahead.


(Sorry about the typo in my previous post)

[PrincessNoelle]

A few minutes after I was "born again", I was standing by our lake and someone kept trying to trade with me. I didn't have anything to trade. It was shortly after that I received a message that I had been reported. Guess I'll go back to my VMK ways and never accept a random trade request. Even though they look at the logs, it can be upsetting.

[aengus]

Before the very first wipe, I used to play with AZCat in Marleybone even before I got to Krokotopia.

EGAD! So sorry cat!!! :rotfl:

[LuvN~Travel]

Even though I've played above my level before, and I enjoyed getting the little bit of 'extra' xp, I played it more to break up the game and make it more interesting. Also, like today it helps to knock some of the quests down so you can concentrate on other stuff.

Both Fly and myself helped my sister out at Krokosphinx for the Emperor's Retreat which was her last thing to do there. Of course while we were there we did collect our other Scarabs there and then we jumped to her on the Island of Storms and did those too. Nothing like making a little hay while the sun shone! (or storm blew in this case lol)

But, there are times when it is nice to be able to break up what you are doing and go do something else then come back to your area. Believe, me those dratted Hammer guys in the Royal Hall who didn't want to drop the hammers for us made it seem like 'forever' in there! :rotfl:

JUMPING IN ON ATTACKS

When you are doing the smaller little - Attack 4 Fire Elves - style fights. You actually have to hit one of them to get credit for the attack. So if people just jump into a fight and don't do anything they don't get credit. This has backfired on me a few times because people get in ahead of me in line and take out the beasty before I get a chance to get a shot in. Oh well. Technically I'm fighting their battle. :)

So, I think it's only the instanced area where you get the credit for the team.

I've been known to be wrong before though. :)

RANDOM TRADES

As for the comment about someone trading out of the blue. I added a friend because they helped me fight a battle and I thought they were friendly. As soon as I added them as a friend they gave me some crap trades. :( Oh well, another part of the game. :)

NEW FRIEND CHAT

Does anyone know a whole lot about this new "True Friend" Chat? It seems like it is a replacement for the old "Secured Chat". I was hoping it would allow you a little more flexibility in chatting.

[rickyratsmom]

Hmm being somewhat clumsy, I have on occasion accidentally fallen into a few fights already in progress. I just apologize which seems adaquate most of the time, but in a case like this is there a way I can withdraw?? Never tried it myself.... I have also been a victim, last night I was on my last breath and defeating my opponent when suddenly 3 wizards jumped in, gah!! Of course I was dead in a heartbeat, sigh...

If I stumble in on a fight by mistake I just try to clean house. I will use shields on the person who was there first and try to be very aware of their health situation and do anything I can to keep them alive. If you leave the fight the damage has been done in that more baddies are coming so there really is no other honorable option.

I try to play on quieter realms personally as I have seen a big increase in the number of people who have been joining and fleeing as of late.

I'm sure most players have done the "oops!" thing and slipped or got pulled into battles accidentally, I have a few times...:rolleyes1 I do apologize and try shielding the 'target', if I can.
Part of the problem seems to be all these new sideline messages to "make friends and help in battles". The players who you know are flying through on other players' efforts are taking advantage of that, and the newer players are doing exactly as they have been told. It's hard to be understanding of the newer players when there is such a growing number of little vultures. It's been bad enough lately that I've even fled battles nearly over, losing all of my HP, mana and credit for the battle. :mad:

I try to play on quieter realms personally as I have seen a big increase in the number of people who have been joining and fleeing as of late.

It is so difficult to FIND a quiet realm now. With everyone starting over I am just trying to plow through as quick as possible to get to Krok/Marleybone and leave some of them in the dust.

I admire your honorable way of fighting, Aengus. That is truly the spirit I believe Kingisle wants us to conjure with the open battles. :wizard: Hopefully this will develop more as we lead by example.

[Belle1997]

Well I too am tire with the cheats who jump in and do nothing. So I get thier title and I watch and wait. Then I jump in and do nothing either boy they not happy. Problem is most of these kids are on no chat. So you can not say how rude they are.

But I have also notice that one of the reason they might not be doing anything is a change in the hits from the enemy. More often than not if you join a battle part way and at least shoot at an enemy they will target you and leave the lead player alone.

Maybe they could make that a perk of playing member to be able to boot anyone that is not on your friends list in battle. If you started the fight.

[Belle1997]

My two big complaints so far.

Since the wipe I have had my ice fizzle more than ever. Once I counted 7 pips because my ice snowman fizzled all of them and some other ice cards.

This is getting too frustrating as if I did not have a teamate I would have died many times for cards that do not work. Well I do understand 80% that would be like 1 in 4 not 4 in a row.

Next fighting the bosses in Colossus. Ok so I go to fight the ogar prince and both are ice. Ok I prepare my shields. Guess what all their spells were myth except for one snowman. Now I did not like that. Bad enough fizzle rate is higher than it was, but now you basically rely soley on luck. I would spend a lot of time analyzing my deck to give me the best odds. Now it is mostly luck takes the fun out of it for me.

[aengus]

Since the wipe I have had my ice fizzle more than ever. Once I counted 7 pips because my ice snowman fizzled all of them and some other ice cards.

I think their fizzle rates are off myself. Since the wipe it seems to be out of whack. I have noticed the baddies also suffer from what appears to be a higher than normal fizzle rate also so it doesn't appear to be a disadvantage, more of an inconvenience.

and yes dreamytime I agree it is difficult to find a quiet realm as of late.

[BriarRosie]

To BriarRosie: Julia SummerSong could have been mid-crash, too. I've seen it happen with some other friends of mine. They are standing in front of me not saying a word for quite some time, then...poof! Another issue could be that it was an automatic reaction to click 'reject'. I do it all the time if I'm looking for something or running somewhere. If I see that box pop up, I click 'reject' without even noting who sent it. I'm certain you weren't dissed by a Dis.

I don't think she dissed me, truly. I think she did disconnect. I just thought it was funny that I randomly found her and I couldn't add her. I feel badly if it came across as me being upset. I'm really not.

I noticed that even though I stay on the Falmea realm a lot, there are quite a few people playing on it. I guess the Ambrose realm is getting too crowded for a lot of players.

If you want help doing some of the more tedious "collect X number of bad guys" things, just give me a holler. I'm on the Grand Arena in Krokosphinx now, and I finally got my 4 pip spells back. :banana:

My husband's new character is a storm wizard and the fizzles were making him VERY annoyed. Then we decided to keep track of each spell and as it turned out, they had the percentages dead on. Just seems that the fizzles stick in your head longer than the hits because they can cost you a battle.

I would say invest in a lot of keen eyes treasure cards and find a balance friend to throw more accuracy on you.

balance does accuracy?? i thought they do a +% of damage and a -% on enemies

[LafChill]

Balance has a card called precision which adds 10% accuracy, but it is only if Balance is your primary school.

[Cardinal]

Balance has a card called precision which adds 10% accuracy, but it is only if Balance is your primary school.

Yeah. What I find funny, though, is that whenever I use precision the target always fizzles.

Black mantle, a similar spell, makes an enemy more likely to fizzle.

(Storm wizards also have a spell that adds 10% accuracy to any storm spell)

[LafChill]

(Storm wizards also have a spell that adds 10% accuracy to any storm spell)

The worst part about the storm accuracy spell is that it applies to any storm spell, even a shield which is already 100% accuracy. I've submitted a bug report on this in the past and believe that the accuracy boost should only be applied if an accuracy of less than 100% is being applied to the spell when cast.

Also I was merely noting the existence of the balance spell to boost accuracy, although I personally don't typically use it.

[Goofy05]

For anyone interested in continuing the game via subscription, I did want to mention they have incredible customer relations. I received an email response this afternoon with regards to a foul language/harassment issue that I had reported earlier that those players have been suspended from playing Wizard 101. Although it doesn't quite have the same impact on them today as it would have maybe a week ago :lmao: I was glad to know that steps were taken and the issue handled reasonably well. :thumbsup2

Here is that emailed response:

Response (Mr. Lincoln) 09/02/2008 01:49 PM
Oh it is no worries. I am glad to check in on these things. They have been suspended for the time being for harassment and bad language. Do let us know if you see them again causing trouble once their time away from Wizard101 has been lifted.

Thank you so much for your diligence in letting us have the screen shot. We found that very helpful.

Regards,
Mr. Lincoln

[SorcererRocks]

I received a response today about the message I received saying I was reported. It's reassuring to know that they are taking the valid reports as well as false reports seriously.


Response (Mr. Lincoln) 09/02/2008 12:08 PM
Hi there,

Don't fret overly much, we have a very powerful crystal ball that allows us to see all that occurs in Wizard City and beyond, we can confirm all accusations. The report tool is a very powerful spell that some students haven't quite figured out how to cast just yet. They will be receiving individual tutoring if they are found to falsely cast such a spell. If someone has received the false report, they can be assured that their good name will not be sullied, no action will be taken.

Take care young wizard and resume your studies in confidence!

I have a friend who doesn't have a visa card. She is also in Canada.
May she use a Visa Gift card for the payment of these fees?


Response (Mr. Lincoln) 09/04/2008 03:49 PM
Hi there!
I'm not an expert on the billing system, but I believe you should be able to use anything with the Visa logo on it. Don't quote me on that, but as per my understanding, check cards, credit cards, pre-paid cards, and gift cards should all work for subscription purposes. If you are having trouble getting it to work, just let me know and I'll pass you along to someone who is a bit more learned about the billing system!

Regards,
Mr. Lincoln
Ravenwood School of Magical Arts


***So for those of you who are a bit leery about using your Debt or Credit card this might be something that you can do. I know that here in Am-er-dee-ca (just watched "That 70's Show" so that is my Fez version) you can get them at every grocer, mall, bank, or Walgreens. Many are re-loadable. In Canada you can get them at your local bank for sure, but maybe you Canadians can help with other locations.

This is a very safe, secure way of paying if you are concerned about paying online. And, it is an option for the little ones who might not have the ready $$. They could ask for a gift card for special occassions.

I messaged a friend some of my menu chat since that is what an "unchattable" has to do. Since my friend is a paying member, they did not see my message. Just wondering if others experienced this, that you can only chat with people like you. Non-paying chat with Non-paying and Paying chat with Paying?

Just curious?

I don't think you can secure chat at all being non-paying.

[disvaclub92]

I get it now, you need to be within the same location to see any private message to for a non-payer to communicate with a payer.

Hopefully, they clearly explain that chat situation. I see a flaw in that, because a paying person may send me a note and not realize I did not receive it and or vice versa. Hopefully they place something to let people know you need to be close to chat with your non-paying friends.

Hopefully they rethink the chat in general.

Dis and I were testing this last night. We tried having her message me and both paying and non-paying areas, and nothing came through. The only time it worked was when we were in the same area.

Very annoying if you don't know this, and you just think your friend is ignoring you or something.

I am. I'm just not sure that I can make that time - it would be tight. How's pushing it back an hour?

Just checking to see who is approaching Katzenstein's Lab and the Big Ben series. The lab is my next task and was wondering if a team could be put together to take on the mad Dr and his friend Smogger. I am looking to run this later this afternoon/evening depending on the above mentioned Grubb run.

Robert IceCaster (Ice/Death) and Morgan MistCaster (Ice/LIfe) will be at the 4PM EST Grubb Run and at least Robert will also be at the 7pm EST run.

When you log in to your account on the wizards home page go to the "Wizard Society", then "Message Boards".

So go and post your ideas, so we can get cool stuff for halloween!

I said Wu -- because Falmea hates me!

All kinds of bad stuff -- more fizzles, less item drops, etc., etc. -- seem to happen to me more frequently in Falmea than any other realm.

We will scout around the realms before starting out, just to make sure we get as many as we can.

The 7PM run will be in the Falmea realm.

You don't get the quest right after Unicorn Way. I don't remember exactly when, but if you continue the quest line from Sgt Muldoon, you should get it at some point before you are done the three streets in Old Town.
