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

Try the Customer Support section after you log into the Wizard site. Although I don't see a Solution 126 there yet, but that is where you would find it. You may already know this though.

Yeah, I tried there too, but no luck. Hopefully they'll fix it, thx.

Have you tried writing to them? They have been very prompt in getting back with me when I have contacted them about an issue.

 

[LuvN~Travel]

I keep getting this error message, and the site doesn't list it. Can anyone help in this situation! Thx in advance!

I kept getting that when I first tried to log on last night. I sent them a message and of course I tried to get on again immediately after and of course up it came! Probably just some game bug again. lol

Day2- I'm hooked. It is interesting how very like it is to Toontown in game structure. Not being a big gamer, I don't know if this is just a typical game structure that lots of game follow, or if it just happened to be a toontown knockoff with better graphics. Either way, it sure made it easier for me to learn, as I had a 'stint' with Toontown for about a month last year.
BUT:
Okay, I tried, but 30 pages of conversation is a difficult way to wade through tips and hints. Is there a player handbook out there somewhere, or player hint sight, that is a little more organized?

Actually since it is still in beta, I don't think there is any organized hint site at this point. You can try the Wizards forums, although they aren't that user-friendly in my opinion - have huge moderation lag. I'd say your best bet is to hook up with someone else to get tips and help. I'm in Marleybone right now and often get tired of dying in battles, so I'd be happy to help or just be an in-game tipline if you'd like.

It was good adding people, and I'm just shy of Level 15. Just need about 100 more experience points. A big thank you goes to DesertCat, the hardest working man in town. He and I were taking down some Gobblers in Colossus, so now I have all three badges there. I'm a "Gobbler Gobbler" now.

And I don't have wand envy anymore, since Ambrose gave me a staff. I can walk (or run) softly and carry a BIG STICK!

It's scary that I've been playing for less than a week and have progressed this far. I discovered this is gaming crack for me. I'm so over stimulated by the game that I can be playing until 1am or later. I find it difficult to sleep after signing off.

But...I have found my own bug that I'm not happy about. I was awarded a new spell from my Life professor. It was a 3-pip card, Nature's Wrath or something similarly named. I had it in my deck, then removed it to change cards. When I went back to my deck to place it back, it was not near my other Life cards. I clicked the "bug" button to report that my spell went missing. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Luckily, my Cyclops (myth "minor" training point spell) is 3-pip value, so I don't die that easily.

Oh, I discovered that Sabrina in the Faire area has a free shield card for your major, and you can buy other shield with training points. I hadn't known that.
I also found it helpful to check the stores when you gain level milestones. I was able to upgrade my spell deck to hold more spells, dye my clothes that didn't match, and had gotten a new wand after Level 5. I am debating whether to invest in a new robe with extra health or wait to see if my victories get them for me.

If you look over at the forum on the Wizard site, you'll see that others are having this problem as well so I would hope that they would get a fix out there shortly.

Hi Golden glad you are playing this too!

I am so lost on how to use the spell cards. I have some cool new ones that I've won in the mini games, but why don't they ever show up when I'm fighting. I have put them in my spell deck, I just don't seem to have access to them.

To get to your gold cards, you need to first discard one of your regular cards and then draw from your gold card stash.

Just got my acceptance email. (Was only on the waiting list for five days, in case anyone is wondering.)

I know I probably should just jump into the game without trying to read everything that's been posted about it first, both here and on the Wizard 101 Forums, but I'd really like to avoid wasting time on school choices that would not work out well for me. I'm kind of drawn to Storm and Myth.

Any suggestions? I will probably have to rely on solo player mode a lot, since I would have trouble typing quickly and accurately during group fights. Also, I'd like to be able to log on for short periods of time, and organized efforts aren't really conducive to that. (Can you actually get anywhere this way, or is there really no point in trying?)

It all looks a little overwhelming right now, hah!

So, DH finally got his letter...

But, in setting up his character, something was entered wrong (I guess) and the game must think he is under 13 instead of almost 41. So, he cannot text chat and he cannot do secure chat with friends.

Any ideas on how to fix it, other than reporting it as a bug? He can't find anything on the website to help him.

I wanna be able to talk to him in the game.

Thanks!

Same thing happened to me, they had me as being 11 instead of 34. All I had to do to fix it was change my year of birth to the correct year. Once I had that fixed I could enable the chat feature, even though I thought I already had

It can be a little overwhelming at first. My best advice is to take it slow, one quest at a time until you are comfortable with the game and your spells. BlueHairedMonkey signed on last night for the first time too and I think is feeling the same way you are. I am needing a break from my own quests (I now have the Firecat Alley towers to add to my growing list of bosses I can not defeat ) so I spent last night with Monkey taking him through his first quests and I am sure I will be doing it again tonight (he may be super smart with computers but he isn't a very good wizard ). If there are any other newbies out there wanting a little in-game help, just holler. Lots of us from here are more then willing to help in any way we can.

Not sure if I will be able to make the earlier meet and greet tonight since it will be at 6pm (dinner time) for me. If I am not there, I will definitely be there on Thursday. Can't wait to finally put some "faces" to all the names!

 

[Diva of Dragons]

Just hopping in to say hi!! I've been really busy this week! I'm so bummed I missed the big meet! I'll try to make the early one tonight. I only have one of you on my list since the wipe!! I feel so alone! LOL!!

I'm glad we so many more new peeps too. I'll go over and update the list!

I just ran into a huge snag/bug in Marleybone! I did a whole bunch of it, then it re-set. If anyone is done with The Ironworks, I'd love some help getting back to where I was, to save time!

Thanks!!

 

[LafChill]

The Ironworks is an instanced area, so if you leave it then it will all reset when you return to it. I need to head back in there to find that blasted cat though so would be happy to help.

 

[bevgray]

Ah my aliceblue has finally found her way to whizzing. Welcome my dear VMK chum.

Let me know your name, where you are, and I'll try to come find you to add you. Also, I believe some DIS members are going to try to meet up around 8PM EST tonight. I will be in the group.

You don't need to type to use the combat system. It is card based and you have plenty of time to chose cards. It is half automated so you don't need to worry about pointing accurately or anything like that.

Jade.... for the life of me I can't figure out how you manage to play both POTCO and Wizards AND be good at BOTH of them!

This game looks truly AWESOME, but after poking around a bit, I came to the sad conclusion that I won't be able to devote much time to it while still playing POTCO.

Did you find the Ironworks cat?
I stayed at the Book with Baxter so that when I log in later as Cheryl logs in she can jump to me and get the book.

 

[LafChill]

I still haven't found it yet, need to hunt around some more.

 

[bevgray]

I try to focus on either one each day. It isn't easy, O Pink One.
