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

Delighted to help. I may need some huge help in the next couple of days. I'm discovering the Island of Storms is very unkind to Storm Wizards. Talk about fizzles! Then too, the big meanies are mostly storm themselves and resist all my good spells. Yes, my friend, even the big guy you admired so much and my poor little storm shark barely gets a hit of 200 over there. Grrr. Have had to dust off some fire spells.
 
It is really important to make use of those storm prisms when you are storm fighting storm. Also may want to stack your deck a bit heavier with your secondary school attack cards and use the storm boosts whenever you can if you don't have a prism available. This is a level 33 storm vet talking. ;)
 

Was anybody having problems tonight with their cards. When I was in a fight tonight I had 6 pips but the only cards coming up were 0,1&2. I even tried to discard but than nothing came up. And I do have 3,4 & 6.
 
My Nature's Wrath spell card is missing as well, should I report it?

YES! If they see that other Life Wizards are having issues, maybe they'll fix it! I posted this on the Wizards forum, too. :)

Yes! All I was getting were my 0 pip cards, even though I had 4 or 5 pips available. I desperately needed my pixie card for life and no matter what I did, I couldn't get them to come up. I even tried buying some pixie treasure cards and stacking them in. No matter what I did, they wouldn't come up. I got tired if being defeated, so I quit for the night.

Yes! I had major issues with the cards yesterday, to the point I ran out of spells! Not only was I not getting 2 & 3 PIP spells, but when I did they were all FIZZLE! The only spells I could make work were the wand sparks and shields/enchantments. I should have taken a screen shot of that...surrounded by shields, NONE of them the shield I needed, btw...waiting to be picked off...:rolleyes:
It was also very laggy the past two or three days. I hope there's a new patch coming soon to address all the lag. I've noticed a larger than usual amount of players, especially in the Commons area of Wizard City. I wonder if that's what causing the new bugs we're experiencing now?

The lag was very strange last night. I was going after my minion quest in Unicorn Way. Suddenly, instead of watching in "movie mode", I would see the action as a bunch of delayed "movie stills". Like a slide show. :laughing: And I noticed that I'd get slammed with buffs and debuffs and end up using all of my faeries to heal. :rolleyes:

But the most annoying thing is that once you're a target, ALL of the bad guys want a piece of you. I noticed that when you were helping me, but I noticed it when I was helping others, too.

I changed realms about 1/2 way through the evening to help with that. Seemed to help some.

When my friend and I play I'm never, and I mean NEVER, am the target. It is just bizarre. :wizard:

I'm thinking of the following as run start times and groups. Please respond back and indicate if the time is ok.

Morning Run (10 am Eastern)
Leader - DesertCat
Autumn DayBreaker
Cardinal
(open slot)

Afternoon Run (2 pm Eastern)
Leader - Shelby
Briar
Matthew
Angus HexBlade

Based on your feedback, I'll try to make any adjustments by 8 pm (eastern) today.

The only problem is that Matthew, while being on my list, isn't on DIS as far as I know, and I don't know when he'll be playing. I think I mentioned it offhand because we were attempting this quest late at night. So I'd keep him off this list for now.
 
Unless my wife has sone honey dews I am not aware of I'm good.

I am Balance-17 and just picked up the Sandstorm last night
(which is a GOOD thing with multiple monsters (kind of like my Humungofrog when I was Myth)). Detail the meeting place. I'll see you at 1pm Central, 2pm Eastern.

This just got posted ten minutes ago at Wizard 101 forum.

We are doing some server testing this weekend, and it is possible you may lose your connection. If this happens you should be able to log back in immediately. We apologize for any inconvenience! Have fun this weekend!

May or may not be a good weekend to look for Grubb's.

Now you know what life is like for a Pyromancer in the Pyramid of Fire!!!

At least by the time you get to Island of Storms you should have some high-powered storm and secondary spells. Whereas we poor Pyros, fresh from Wizard City, have nothing stronger than Sunbird in our deck -- which is an awesome 3-pip spell usually, but can have its damage power reduced to that of a little Life Imp by all the resistance it encounters. (When it doesn't fizzle, of course.)

Also the Fire Prism spell, which changes Fire spells to Ice, might look good on paper -- until you realize that one of the first spells every bloody Nirini casts is an -80% Snow Shield! So you can't win. I've even taken to running around with a Life wand twig instead of my Fire staff -- just so my little 0-pip bursts have some effect!

Thank goodness my secondary school for that wizard is Life! I've needed every healing spell I can lay my hands on (including stacking my Treasure Cards with additional Pixies and wearing a Ghoul amulet).

I do not think I will create a Fire Wizard again, unless they seriously adjust the balance of the game. The Pyramid, as it presently stands, is just too darn frustrating to slog through for a Pyro. (Whereas my Myth Wizard practically sailed through the Pyramid and is now 2/3rds of the way through Krokosphinx).

My pre-wipe Pyromancer made it all the way up to and through the Tomb of the Beguiler -- (you should plan on spending several hours on that one, btw) -- but the post-wipe Pyramid has been extremely inhospitable to him. I can't wait to get out of there and to Krokosphinx (except my Myth Wizard has noticed that the mobs there now tend to throw -80% Fire Shields right off the bat. ARRRRG. They didn't use to do that either, pre-wipe.)
:furious:

Are we doing this tomorrow? I should be okay for 10 o'clock.

If this is the case then it will not be a good weekend for Grubb's.
Should we reschedule for Sunday?

Oh, Level 30 Fire now WOOOOOOOOT and heading to Newgate Prison this afternoon fresh from LafChill's help in Ironworks!!!
 
Yes I know the pyramid of fire is tough for fire wizards. I helped one through there and he just helped me through storm. Love the way we wizards work together.

Still need the beguiler but am saving that for when others need it too since Shelby warned me it was a long one. Hope to get to it tomorrow. Oh and can help with the grubs if needed - probably afternoon session.

Speaking of which, what is the point of the Beguiler (giant spider)? It does not appear to be a main story quest so, outside of experience, is it a good quest to undertake? Only reason I ask is I want to make sure it is worth it before begging help for it.
