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

Noticed a major change last evening on Cyclops Way to the way they handle boss battles there...

Another major change detailed in the last paragraph of this post. This one could be for the better (I think)

...I had trouble with Eyus Maximus and asked Padric (AZCat) to help me. We both entered the tower at the same time and there were 4 enemies to fight there...
...I would suggest 3 hints to help with this:...
- Since there can not be more than 4 enemies, ask 2 or 3 other players to help you out and make sure to be friends with at least 1 of them (best to all be "friends").
- Be sure all players potion flasks are full. Since the enemies seem to predominantly target the first person to enter the battle that person could die and using the potion to recharge quickly and then getting back in the battle might mean a win.
- I have not tested this, but entering the tower alone and having your friends come to you might give you the lowest number of enemies to fight.

The first 2 hints are still good, but there is an additional step in hint 3. Morgan (Chedstro here) and I tried my original third hint last night and it did not work that easily. When she teleported to me in the room (rather than entering with me) and extra 2 enemies showed up. However if I started the battle and then she teleported to me the original 2 enemies were all we had to fight. Just a word of warning though - the other 2 enemies did show up after the fight, so be careful not to go back in the fight circle. This might be difficult if you have to go into battle to get a book of knowledge, free the students, or talk to the head fire elf though.

The other major change I noticed was on Colossal Avenue. When you start a street fight there now you will get 2 enemies to fight if a second gets close enough while you are still in battle. When another person joined my fight (unbidden I might add) last night a third enemy joined. This might be normal or it could be just because no 4th enemy came close enough to join. The reason I say this may be good is that it seems the quests on this street most (all?) of the time involve killing multiple enemies.

Is there any way to tell where your friends are before you visit them? I am almost afraid to visit anyone because I have ended up in battle when I just wanted to say "Hi".

Three more days until I get back to civilization (a place with high speed internet). I am really Jonesin for Wizard 101. Had an invite (since I was level 28) to go right to Marleybone. But it was a 2 day invitation. Ah well,
I will start at the beginning. What do you think of a Myth-Life comination?
Lotsa health, but enough firepower?

In da boonies.

My original character was Life-Myth and it was fun! Lots of accuracy and health from the Life class, lots of firepower from the Myth class. Even without the pets!

Think maybe you have the right major/minor i.e. Life/Myth. You get pretty good Myth as you pick up training points whereas in life they are pretty weak for a while. Hmmm, Maybe Life/Death. What school do you get the three shields for one spell, and how long do you have to wait to get it?

I like having that Myth Minon early, especially for the boss battles where no wandering baddies whould join as soon as you launched the minion. Also, in later battles the minion is a little weak for level 4 baddies. But if I could give him life from my life major..... Hmmm. Maybe life/myth.

Hi!

Yes, when you click on your friend's name on your list, there is a button that says "Secure Chat". Click that and you can talk directly to them, no matter where they are in the game. You can ask them if it is safe to go to them then too.

cool feature

cool feature

Only works with adult accounts. I tested it by trying to visit my daughter and my secure chat was not showing up on her screen.

Well, I just started playing today, and I can almost guarantee you that you wouldn't find another Llewella in the game.

I'm a Level 6 already. I've been killing time lately to level up by picking fights with the ghosts. I couldn't figure out how to access any of my treasure cards or why I have duplicates of items given to me. I'll have to try that "discard and draw button" trick. I have 5 cards loaded into the gold treasure slots, and I thought I just couldn't access them yet.

I'd like a pet, but I'm one of the unlucky peeps that will pay for it.

 

[Dreamytime]

I'm a Level 6 already.

I'll try to find you tomorrow and befriend you. Always nice to have someone to call on to help you get past the bosses (grrr they can be boogers).

Welcome to our new (and addictive) world. See you in Wizard 101 Anonymous after a couple days.

I played quite a bit last night, picked death as my minor @_@

I am a myth/death sorcerer, I almost chose balance as my second for the unbelieavable success percentage but it just didnt look like much fun

this game is really just enjoyable to play isnt it?

No truer statement has been said.
I am enjoying this game very much.
Wish I had a few more Dis ppl on my list.
Maybe someday we can have a get together.

My third wizard - that's right, third - is Myth/Balance and that just might be my favorite combo yet. (My others are Fire/Life and Storm/Death, both of which are great.) The Myth minions are a huge help in boss battles and the success rate of Balance spells has saved my neck more than once. Plus, they have some really cool spells, like Scorpion and Sandstorm. But then, every school does.

But it's also EVIL in the amount of time it manages to keep me glued to my computer screen.

I can not tell you all how happy I am to have found this thread!!! I have been playing for a while and had no clue what I have been doing, now I know!!!
Well, I kinda know....I still have a couple questions that did not get answered in this thread:

-After the swipe I created five wizards to test different schools, and had all of them do the jump except one, so I could learn everything I was missing from jumping (I was only level 5 before the swipe). I didn't know about the training on other schools, I am really liking my fire and balance schools. Any suggestions for the minors that blend nicely with those schools?

-I am an adult, but I can not do the open chat. In the parental controls, I have it checked that I can, but it does not work. Is anybody else having this problem? Any ideas how to fix it? Can you only have open chat with friends? (this could be an issue since at this point I have no friends )

-When you click on the character tab in your notebook, what are all those % and stuff down in the bottom left corner? My first wizard (Mariah - Balance) jumped to level 15, and still all of that shows as 0%. My none jumping wizard (Sabrina Nightflame - Fire) has gotten to level 7, but they are still all 0% too.

Thanks so much for clearing up the clothing and treasure cards issues, I had no clue how to make use of all that! Woot!! You all are the bestest!!

I would love to plan a meet and greet with with as many fellow Dis'ers (I need some friends, I feel so alone in there ) as I can get for tomorrow. I can't get on today, but any time tomorrow (or the next day or the day after that), just name a time and I will be there with my firecat, Tigger or my trusty fire elf, Sparky

I didn't know about the training on other schools, I am really liking my fire and balance schools. Any suggestions for the minors that blend nicely with those schools?

For Fire: Fire is a high damage school, but its casting success rate is only 75%. (I suggest they change the name of the Firecat spell to Fizzlecat. But I digress...) As a result, you're better off (imo) having a secondary school with a better casting rate albeit lower damage. In other words, if you take Storm or Myth, you'll likely end up as Queen of the Fizzles. Life School is a good fit because of its healing spells (and, believe me, you're going to need them). I imagine Death would also work well -- though my Pyromancer just makes use of a Ghoul amulet to take advantage of its health-transferring ability.

For Balance: Hmmmm... You might try using the opposite tactic than that for Fire. Since Balance has a high success rate (90%), you might go for one of the schools with a lower rate but more damage-inflicting ability. In that regards, Storm can't be beat. Its spells are awesome! (And, honestly, I don't find its fizzle rate to be all that bad.)

-I am an adult, but I can not do the open chat. In the parental controls, I have it checked that I can, but it does not work. Is anybody else having this problem? Any ideas how to fix it?

Have you tried just hitting the ENTER key? That should open up an empty dialogue box at the bottom of your screen for chatting. Whatever you type there will be seen by other wizards in the area -- provided they don't have restricted chat.

-When you click on the character tab in your notebook, what are all those % and stuff down in the bottom left corner? My first wizard (Mariah - Balance) jumped to level 15, and still all of that shows as 0%. My none jumping wizard (Sabrina Nightflame - Fire) has gotten to level 7, but they are still all 0% too.

That % chart is to show what spell bonuses you are currently carrying. For example, if the hat you're wearing resists 4% damage from the Death school, it should show up there. (I say "should" because I have not found that chart to be 100% accurate.)

 

[Cardinal]

What school do you get the three shields for one spell, and how long do you have to wait to get it?

That would be the Balance school. There are two spells: Elemental Shield and another shield. Elemental protects against Storm, Ice, and Fire and the other against Life, Death, and Myth. You get both much before level 15.


I'd also like to reiterate the suggestion of the poster before me. Balance/Storm is AWESOME!

I don't know anything about bosses yet. I can't finish the Golem Tower (too difficult still), or the Smiths, simply because I don't have access to lands yet where some Smiths are hiding!

And yes, highly addictive!

I am in Life school with a minor in Myth. That Blood Bat is disgusting, yet effective. LOL! Today, I just reached Level 7 and I got a VERY useful spell from Lady Oriel, the Seraph. She granted me the Unicorn card, which gives me (and my three closest friends in batlle) 275 health points.!

Although I must say, I'm quite amused by my leprechaun.

I'm drawing a total blank. How do we get to Nightshade in Wizard City? Thanks.

Is that behind the waterfall by Rainbow Bridge?

 

[bevgray]

That's it! Thanks so very much.

 

[aengus]

question to you brainiacs.

when I get a hat, it says 3% storm symbol, then a shield. that means it saves me 3% from getting hit by storm spells?
