Non-Disney Online Games (Wizard 101) Quest Tips & Help Thread!

Good news! I'm FREE! There is a way to get out of that combat circle.

First, have a friend load only shields and blades in their deck (i.e. spells that you cast on yourselves). The reason for this is because, to get free, you are going to need to cast a spell; but since you don't have an enemy to cast one on, you (&/or your friend) will need to cast it on yourselves. It's probably a good idea to have your friend unequip their wand, too.

Once your friend's deck has few, if any, attack cards in it, have them teleport to you. As soon as a second person enters the circle, your cards will appear -- just as they do in regular combat.

The combat circle will clear and release you both as soon as one turn has passed. If, when your cards appear, you have a shield or a blade, cast it on yourself or your friend. If not, PASS and have your friend cast a shield or blade. Once that is done, the circle will disappear.

I suppose you both could just PASS or FLEE when the cards appear -- but since that isn't how it happened with me, I am hesitant to recommend doing that.

You won't be able to fight Vika Markmaker until the bug is fixed, but at least you won't be stuck in that combat circle until then.

Thanks! I'm 'unstuck' now, too! Woot!

Here is a list of fixes from last night's update:

Just to follow up, the following issues should be addressed during tonight's downtime.

• Empty Friends Lists will be restored
• We found the key to Grimcasters Tower in the Crucible so that door will now be unlocked.
• Vika Markmaker has decided to join in on the duels once again.
• Jing-han He has his memory back and will once again recall that he's given you a quest to complete.
• Player vs Player teaming up issues will no longer lock players in a loop. You should be able to join matches and team up as normal.

Please, do let us know if any of these issues crop back up tomorrow. And once again, thank you to our fans who have been dedicated to letting us know all they can about these issues so that we can quickly address them. You are what makes Wizard101 fun for everyone.

Vika Markmaker has decided to join in on the duels once again.

I'm not going anywhere near Vika until I know for sure that she has been fixed.

Sending prayers and pixie dust to poor Cinder, who cannot be rescued again until this blasted bug is fixed!

I did this quest and rescued poor Cinder without any trouble. Woot!

I've been getting a "Wizards down for maintenance" message since last evening. Is it just me or are others having difficulties? I can't even access the web page and message boards at the moment.

I got the same message, but signed on anyway and got on

 

[bevgray]

Thanks very much. I was able to get in too. Just ignored the message this time.

Many of you have given us some GREAT feedback about what has affectionately become known as THE Fizzle Bug.
For those of you not familiar with this bug, its symptoms are round after round (particularly in PvP) of players fizzling ALL their spells, including 100% wand spells. (Now I'm not referring to just a bad streak of fizzles, this is something that will affect the entire team for the remainder of the duel.)

We're pretty sure that we've cast a strong enough spell to rid ourselves of this Fizzle Bug once and for all, but just to be sure, I want all our Wizards to try to make this bug happen in any way you know.

That is your assignment for this weekend, see if you can catch THE Fizzle Bug. If you do, post here about it, particularly:
Realm
Area
Location

Thank you! I hope none of you encounter this bug, and don't worry this is not an assignment that you can fail.

~Professor Greyrose

I have not experienced that bug, but maybe some of you have.

When she says post here, she means Wizard 101's forum.

http://wizard101.wikia.com/wiki/Wizard_101_Wiki is starting to become useful and at least covers the Wizard City quests for new users - still not much help for those further on - but recently a lot of information has been added. Hope this helps some of the newer players!

Wow, that looks great. Someone is doing an awesome job!

Thanks for the info!

I need some help in Crystal Grove, with the quest you get from Zarek Pickmaster where you have to find the crystal samples (Quest for Perfection).
I found the samples from the four locations in the first field but I still need to find the Purple Crystal Sample. I've been all over the field and can't find it.

I've done the other quests from Kazel Toothtamer in the second field. I see some crystal samples in the second field as well but can't do anything with them. I assume these are for a different quest.

Can someone help me with the location of the purple sample? I don't know if it's a bug or just somewhere that I haven't found yet. It seems I can't go any further in the storyline until I complete this quest.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to apologize to anyone on my friends list that may have sent a message or requested help today. My daughter, Elizabeth Stormwalker, has been playing my wizard today and informed me that I kept getting messages from friends that she ignored. I think she is trying to master the arena and is getting very frustrated. When frustrated, she can get a little rude. Just hoping that is not the case here.

Sorry, I don't remember the exact location of the purple sample, but you find them all in similar places throughout the grove (i.e. inside those little side pockets off the main path). Having done it 3 times now, the one I usually miss is in the front pocket on the side opposite Zarek, near the tower.

The crystals in the other grove will be your quest after you find all of these. Also, if you haven't found it yet, the stone rose is near one of the crystals in the second grove.

Good luck!

You need access to all areas in Wizard City in order to find them all.

Ravenwood - behind the Myth School, next to the chasm
The Commons - near a tree behind the tents in the Fairegrounds
Golem Court - grassy area behind Golem Tower
Shopping District - behind the buildings on your right as you first enter the district
Olde Towne - near Gloria Krendell
Unicorn Way - on the grass in a corner outside of the Hedge Maze
Cyclops Lane - in Festival Park, across the stream behind Nolan Stormgate
Triton Avenue - by the far left waterfall, across the bridge from Duncan Grimwater
Firecat Alley - outside the Fireglobe Theatre
Colossus Blvd. - in the snow outside the Gobbler King's Castle

 

[SorcererRocks]

the one I usually miss is in the front pocket on the side opposite Zarek, near the tower.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. There are actually six sample locations. I had found the front one near the tower, it was the front one near Zarek that I was missing.

If you pop over to wizard101.com. read the headmaster remarks for march 03.
They have let us know that yes they have listened to the players. In a few weeks we will be able to trade between our own accounts.

Meaning all that crown stuff you bought can be passed dow to new characters you created.

That robe you got with awesome health or shields but you can not use because it is death and you are life.

Keep it for when you create a death character.
So heads up if you really like a part of a battle drop keep it so you can pass it along. Or sell it. Now you have a choice

 

[LittleMermaidsMom]

In a few weeks we will be able to trade between our own accounts.

That's great news! I'm glad I hung on to some of the better items my death wizard couldn't use.

Also, is anybody up for a Malistair's Lair run? I finally made it up to that point and am available pretty much any evening. I did some poking around the Dragon's Roost and am familiar with the area and what I have to do, but can't activate all 3 crystals by myself.

Thanks!

This is only going to apply to wizards on the same account; we won't be able to trade between separate accounts.

From the interview with Professor Greyrose on the Friendly Necromancer's blog (the source link in the Headmaster's Tower announcement):

As for Wizard101, one of the most requested features is a shared bank between characters on the same account, and I'm authorized to tell you that feature is coming within the next few weeks. This will allow all the characters on one account login to share the same bank, which means that Life robe you found with your Storm Wizard can be passed on to your Life Wizard, and Crowns items can be handed down to your other characters as you grow out of them.
